This weird, collective Kafkaesqe moment we've been having for the past two years:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Having to wake up every day and being told--and having to believe against all logic--that a failed business person, reality television host and con man, someone without a single day of public experience in his life, someone foisted upon us by a foreign adversary, is our President and the leader of the most powerful country on earth, and we're somehow supposed to blindly accept that completely absurd fact without question.

I still can't fully believe it.

1. it's just a bad dream, don't worry. angela merkel is still in charge of the most powerful country.

[nolabear]

2. It's stunning, isn't it? And it's playing out like a political thriller.

It’s hard to say anything is far fetched these days.

3. It is surreal

4. Strange things happen in history

I am sure that the people who lived under the competent rule of Augustus wondered how they got Caligula.

[The Blue Flower]

5. I've pondered on the power of the office, independent of who occupies it

I never before realized the honor, power, and respect a person just by sitting behind the desk. He didn't even win the popular vote, and no one actually respects the man.
