As the Epstein Event Horizon approaches, expect even crazier stunts. Heaven help the planet.
What we need to be talking about are the additional amendments to the Constitution that are clearly necessary to ameliorate the current mess (e.g., fixing current Congress, fixing current Judiciary, electoral college, two-party system, Executive's ability to act without first getting permission, self-dealing, cancerous growth of federal over state power, etc.), and how to get them passed. I have a feeling that either we amend or the country fails and/or we end up in a second civil war.
Also, "Goddam, Cartman, that is one fat a$$!"

Not that I expect the latent supporters to ever really own up to their mistake (I mean, who even supported that Iraq War anyway? Must have been some liberal conspiracy). And of course the main question is still how do we actually immobilize and evict this piece of shit from the White House.

On HN alone there are thousands of Trump supporters. It's completely insane because you'd think that they have zero excuses but it does not make any difference at all.
Six months ago they most likely couldn't point out Greenland or Denmark on a map and now they have many opinions and all of them are informed by the same crazy reasonings.

And yes, we had all hoped that more access to information would help people reason better. But it mostly seems to help them rationalize more.
