If these idiots had retired a thousand years ago like they were supposed to, they would have probably left a pretty good legacy and a decent remembrance of their political work.

Instead, everyone is just going to remember these skeletal monsters that wanted to hold on to money and power until their dying breath at the cost of everyone alive and everyone yet to be born.
