Well, is this the kind of conversation obviated by Facebook?  I'm pretty wacked out by all this darkness.

No doubt it is really bad news. What's missing are constructive answers as to what to do about it. I don't believe rioting in Oakland is one of them.

Truth!  John Oliver was right on, and points towards action:

We're going to study some of his recommendations, and do something financial within our comfort level.  It seems like the main thing is to not let this all become the new normal.

"This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay back and
say it -- that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we
need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make
us uncomfortable.  The tragedy of all this is that George McGovern, for all his mistakes...
understands what a fantastic monument to all the best instincts of the human race this country
might have been, if we could have kept it out of the hands of greedy little hustlers like Richard
Nixon.  McGovern made some stupid mistakes, but in context they seem almost frivolous compared
to the things Richard Nixon does every day of his life, on purpose... Jesus!  Where will it end?  How
low do you have to stoop in this country to be President?"

I just love that they can't even bring the anti-Obamacare bill to a vote.  Thankfully, Trump is seemingly too incompetent at this point to do actual damage.

Perhaps those who are saying that we need Trump to not be impeached so we don't get Pence in the White House might have a point.

All we have to do is endure the United States being an absolute laughing stock for the next 4 years or so.
Let's get right to it.

This is pretty funny:  Trump tweets "Isn't it ironic?" and the twitterverse goes all Alanis on him.  He oughta know better.  Heh.
