Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Every time I see a picture of him, I think that I have seen a similar-looking character in a movie at some point in the past, but nothing comes to mind.

He looks like the neighbour from that 70's show to me..

Huh.

I don't think that it's Austin Powers that's triggering it, though, yeah, he does have mutton chops and a lot of hair, there's some similarity there.

The only thing I've come up with before was Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, but while that's also similar in some ways, I still don't think that what I'm dredging out of memory either.

Some British movie.

Yeah you’re not wrong, he’s not as absurd as Austin powers. But he definitely looks like a time traveler from the 70s. I have another actor in mind, can see his face, but also can’t quite pull the name or movie up. But a British guy with sideburns and similar haircut. One of those staple actors of the 50s-70s that my parents would know, but was likely dead before I was born haha.

His tactical-plan is that he won't be accepting any of the consequences of his policies.

You don't improve a country's economic-engine by eradicating education's foundation.

But so long as he''s rich, & his privilege is protected, he can't care what damage is done to his inferiors..

Kinda similar to the ones doing likewise north of there, eh?
