Chronic unemployment. Poverty. Racial discrimination. Sluggish economy. Infrastructure. Terrorism.

We have a broad spectrum of real problems in the world. But instead of dealing with any of it, we're subjected to the petty little psychodrama of a petulant man-child throwing temper tantrums in the Oval Office.

Instead of dealing with any of the problems facing our country, we're being distracted by the ridiculous dysfunction antics of a spoiled brat reality-hating millionaire who's motivated mostly by a neurotic need to make his long-dead daddy somehow love him.

Fuck this shit. Fuck him for putting his fucked up psychology between the business of the nation and the solutions we could, with some honest hard work, somehow find a way to solve. We could be a big beautiful country full of hope and poetry and amazing technological progress.

Instead, we're a laughing stock and we're enabling hateful autocrats in Moscow and Riyadh drag the world down into a hopeless but perversely profitable death spiral.
