Unrelated, but boy howdy do I love a plural postpositive adjective
Edit: thank you for all the fun examples and discussion. Did not expect to wake up and see this many responses to a comment I put almost no thought into, I love this website
indeed. i hope they bring in several attorneys general and enforce this with all the sergeants major.
I did some googling. My favorite one is musicians extraordinaire. The runner-up is eggs Benedict.

Um it’s Burritai, sweaty
I think
as far as runners up go it’s a good one
Had to Google this cause my English isn’t that good, and now I know something new that my brain is filing under ‘why does anyone know this?’
It’s pretty useless tbf, one of those things that native english speakers wouldn’t even notice if you got it “wrong”
There are very few common words/expressions that use plural postpositive adjective. To add to what NephewAlphaBravo said - “wrong” will sound right to most Americans. The average American reads at a sixth grade level.
A correct form is “attorneys general” but that’s rare. The average American would say “attorney generals”.
A correct form is “attorneys general” but that’s rare.
Not “correct”, just formal/academic. Down with proscriptive grammar!
I’m gonna say attorneys generals and nobody can stop me
I just do it randomly for fun if the singular is a double noun. Suns day. Generals Store. It’s very silly. I giggle inside.
Sergeants Major is another one that always sounded funny to me

Hegseth calls the withdrawal a “humiliating retreat” and says leaders at the Pentagon were not held accountable for the deadly attack at Abbey Gate, which killed 13 U.S. service members and roughly 170 Afghan civilians. Nor were they held accountable for a subsequent U.S. airstrike in Kabul that officials thought would kill the Islamic State group leader behind the suicide attack but instead killed 10 innocent Afghans, including seven children, he wrote.
lol it’s literally Benghazi all over again.

Nominally it’s about Afghanistan but - of course - Trump couldn’t give less of a shit about that. This power move is entirely about Trump seeing how much he can push the envelop.
I mean he can’t serve any further terms so if ever, now’s the time to really go nuts and see how crazy this ride gets
He hasn’t even been sworn in yet and it’s clear he’s going to try to break every norm, rule, and law. There really is no incentive for him not to go nuts. The only thing that could stop him - and it’s only in theory - is the republican party. And they aren’t going to try to stop the the no brakesTrump Train. He knows that they know he would destroy them.
Only because his brain will surely be a puddle of goo in 4 years
An annoying editor at some point before this article was published.
“Uhh ackshually it’s courts-martial.”
They are for war crimes and enabling a genocide right?
…Critical support for the empire hurting itself.
This is so fucking funny lmao
So are they going to throw officers in the brig because they made tactical mistakes? I’m getting a feeling (maybe it’s hopium) that these people are like a dog catching a car.
a dog catching a car
The Trump Train is going at ramming speed. But even if the 2026 elections are a gimmie for the dems - never underestimate their fantastical abilities in fucking up. My wild guesses are that “patriotism” or some other loser concept will be the dem party’s quasi-official motto for 2026 and that they’ll have another big loser in that they’ll continue to try to get “reasonable” republicans to vote for them.
I have a feeling that turnout will be in the shitter again for 2026
entirely possible. Their campaign for nearly a decade now has been “We’re not Trump. Vote for us!” Their campaign money scarecow can’t run for reelection anymore and be used to terrify voters into the voting lines. I’m rather curious in what way will they redesign themselves over the next four years.
Dems are the champions at fucking up a layup with the cheat codes on. Almost as if… It’s on purpose.
If you give a Democrat three wishes, they’ll negotiate you down to one, and then wish for something they think a Republican would like.
Wow, this presidency might actually be the next phase. I predict that he will attempt to convince Congress to remove term limits from the presidency.
What would even be the point, the man is term limited by life
I used to think the funniest outcome would be that Trump wins 2024 and then dies before he takes office.
But this raises a new, even funnier idea: Trump wins 2028 and then dies before he starts his third term.
Trump will start WWIII (put unacceptable sanctions on China, causing China to retaliate). And since war is so presidential, and really that would not be the time to change presidents, Democrats and Republicans decide its fine if he runs again.
:fdr-shining:
I think the most unrealistic part of this is that China retaliates with military force to sanctions. The rest is much more believable lol
Exactly. Pretty sure China’s plan is either cooperate and build prosperity together, or…
I was just trying to mirror what Japan did in response to US provocations.
I wasn’t criticizing you or your joke or something, your joke was funny. Just wanted to highlight how funny it is that the only unrealistic part was China’s response. The rest is sadly believable.
Thing is US is broke. China has a US sized population which they are signing deal after deal with in Indonesia. We’re becoming irrelevant. Which is smart for China.
The US is in debt at the federal level, but it still represents one of the largest markets because of how much spending power is held by the middle class, relative to other nations. It’s on the decline but it still isn’t at the point where China can just shrug off the US.

The silliest point would be to die of old age and have Vance take over, now without limits. But the broader point would be setting the conditions for a future evolution of the program.
Ah yes, King Vance. That’s not unsettling at all /s.

have you ever Vanced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

who cares, it’s not a democracy anyway
they would have to amend the constitution, which requires two thirds of Congress to even propose it, and three fourths of the states to ratify it. So that’s pretty unlikely.
or just have the Supreme Court reinterpret that part of the constitution.
“Congress had less people in it then, so judging by the original intent it actually should only be two thirds of the congress as it existed back then.” See? I can be a SCOTUS justice too!
Staying president is an official act
"When I was sworn in for the third time, I was speaking ex cathedra" 
i guess in this case congress could pass a law saying no more term limits, seems like that would be a pretty quick SCOTUS case, but i guess all the conservative judges COULD say it’s ok.
Well, Trump would run again. Then he’d either get blocked from ballots, they would sue, and the supreme court would say he’s allowed to. Or he would win the election, someone would bring a case arguing that it’s unconstitutional for him to take office, and the supreme court would disagree.
And the way those lawsuits often work is the person gets to keep doing the thing of questionable legality. So he could probably still get on ballots and run, even if there’s a lawsuit.
Attempt? You act as though they’ll provide any pushback
Democrats are stupid, but “let him remove term limits” stupid? Doubt.
unless he starts WWIII and it would hurt the sense of unity to not let Trump run again.
They’re not stupid enough to get themselves killed over denying Trump the opportunity to be emperor
term limits
I predict Trump will succeed. Trump has to get through SCOTUS too. But what I think is funny is that the GOP SCOTUS justices turned Trump into Godzilla without even something limiting like control collar. How can you say “no” to Godzilla? He does whatever he wants. The GOP justices gave Trump the powers of a king. Criminal law doesn’t apply to him. He can imprison, torture, or kill anybody. Even members of congress and their families or the justices themselves or their families.
Trump could just keep killing members of congress until the next one votes as he wants them to. I’d estimate about two or three dead predecessors before the next one gets the message.
Killing might not even be needed. Just a few minutes of waterboarding - with threats of doing it to their families - and any of them will be 100% broken and they’ll do whatever he wants them to do.
This would benefit dems longterm. Shit gets worse domestically marginally faster under republicans and they struggle to get reelected as a result. People meanwhile really really would have voted for Obama a third time and he’d definitely be on his way to his fifth term rn
Surely this will help the military with their recruitment woes.
