The world and our enemies are laughing at us.
The world has been laughing at us at various times over the last few decades and who can blame them really, especially when it comes to candidates for high office—both Federal and State.
The last presidential election cycle we had several septuagenarians, with the the vocabulary and diction of a mildly retarded, fat seven year old. The “debates” devolved into name-calling, soundbites, playground insults and thinly-veiled comments about dick size. And it’s gotten worse still since then.
We used to laugh at banana republics that had senile heads of state, threw shoes at each other and manipulated their electoral systems to hold on to power.
But the shit that’s been happening in the US for the past decade is just as bad and we’re only getting started apparently.
