    At this point any other leader would be better, but I won’t hold my breath for something positive to happen in American politics.

      Yo, stop with the monkey paw shit. Check out what happened to Alberta, Canada when they ousted their rightwing nutjob premiere, and he was replaced with a righter wing nuttier nutjob.

      It can get worse.

        Yep, I mean a lot of us thought that the GOP was screwed for a generation after the bungling W. Bush did to the economy and the 9/11 response. Well we all know where that went.

        I mean, you’re not wrong but the way she got into office initially wasn’t exactly a shining beacon of democratic process…

        Although, in fairness, the province did reelect her after so perhaps they did want an even crazier flavour of nuts after all.

        A wise therapist once told me “never challenge worse”.

        Also, things will get worse before they get better worse.

      The only thing I expect of American politics now … is that they figure out even more stupid reasons to make things worse.
