The GOP are an embarrassment and a stain on the Earth.

JFC.

    It’s especially weird that Trump isn’t the only one in the US government who’s batshit insane.

    I still can’t quite believe it’s real. I’ve always been a cynic and always expected the worst of the government, but this is so far, and in such an unexpected direction, beyond anything I expected.

    We really are governed by demented morons.

      It’s been increasing for many decades. The reason Trump is still in office is because the legislature has such a high percentage of crazies in it.

      Honestly if this is unexpected, you haven’t been paying close enough attention for a decade or two. Or more.

        Oh right - of course it was plain as day that in a few years, the US would elect a deranged, delusional sociopath with the emotional development of a toddler who would, among other things, appoint the world’s richest middle-aged teenage edgelord to a make-believe cabinet position as head of a department named for a 4chan meme from which he would methodically destroy every agency that might stand in the way of the wholesale economic rape of the American people, throw a public tantrum over not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize for his complete and utter failure to negotiate peace anywhere, kidnap the President of Venezuela and appoint himself President in his place, and threaten to invade and forcibly annex Greenland, mostly in order to divert attention from the ongoing failure to complete the court-ordeted release of documents that would certainly prove that he’s a child rapist.

        It’s so obvious. How could I have missed it?
