At this point the best long term outcome we should expect for our country is to be nuked by North korea.

Do we get to vote on that..?? 😕

But if you vote that it's preferable for the country to trundle onward with an increasing lack of understanding of data and such a shallow view of facts that studies regurgitating disproven data can impact your view of the world, then your vote is thrown out.

:-k 🤔

Why poor me? I'm too blessed to be stressed, brotherman.

Reading sarcasm was never your strong suit.

You were gone for a bit, Vic.

Upon your return, you're as caustic as ever, but your humor has dwindled. As in "you don't have any".

Everything OK?

...and that the Trump University is a legitimate institution of higher learning; and that the Trump Foundation advances many charitable organizations that do great work for huge numbers of disadvantaged people...

Oh woe is me.

Trump is president so I think it would be funny if america were nuked.

As we continue to elect even bigger idiots (I know it's hard to imagine a bigger idiot than Trump... but we thought the same thing about GWB) we will continue to lose any respect from 1st world nations. We are already showing the world that our nation isn't the leader in a number of things any longer ... other than being the leader in "me first" they recognize it and have made statements regarding that.

Meanwhile idiots continue to gleefully harp on Obama or Clinton thinking pointing out faults of the past presidents or candidates (imagined or real) has any impact on the multiple fronts our nation is currently failing at.

And all this because people thought an idiot swindler was going to give them the 1950s jobs back that don't even exist and kick all the brownish people out who they're sure took their nonexistent jobs. He's accomplished none of those lies, all he does is tweet a claim to success, which then gets rolled back 2 weeks later. But no one has the attention span to notice. And psychology being what it is, pointing out that they made a bad decision only tends to entrench people further in their decision (just me pointing this out probably makes you want to fellate Trump even more than when you started reading it).

So no. I'm not filled with a lot of hope for the future success of our country. That's fine. He's doing great things for me. I heard today that the Republican plan is going to let the pharma companies really screw people over on pricing... that's good for my paycheck. I don't particularly care about anyone who might need to buy the drugs. I don't have kids so the country will serve me just fine for the short term that it matters.

But wow has this past 100 days been a real eye opener on where I really need to set my level of expectation for people. I knew that there were a lot of scared and/or easily manipulated people out there ... but I underestimated things a lot.
