    Border Czar

    Why do USA keep naming their government positions “czar”? Are they ASKING for the same treatment as the actual tsar? owned

    They (and this streamer) certainly would deserve it stalin-gun-1stalin-gun-2

      My guess is they’re doing the whole “_____ czar” bit to keep from actually appointing people to positions. Remember by 2020 all the major positions were “acting head of _____”.

      Y’know, skirting oversight and culpability.
