Well, I must congratulate Donald J Trump for becoming the worst president in US history ahead of Bush the lesser. When discuss trumps failures I always felt the fact that he hadn’t started a foreign war was his only redeeming feature.

Well, the toddler in chief finally got around to screwing over my home town and in addition took 26 million from the town next to us.

Actually it’s an excellent time to start a retirement account as long as you don’t plan on retiring soon, you’ll be buying shares at a steep discount for the next four years. My condolences to any non-trumper planning on retirement soon.

Donald would abandon Ukraine in 1/2 a second if he thought he could personally profit from it. That is his only motivation.

It's also in our playbook, consider the Gulf of Tonkin Incident.

Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry gets a lot of undue credit for "opening" Japan, as if the Tokugawa Shogunate and the domains had no agency. But Perry wasn't even the first American to try and visit Japan. That was Captain John Kendrick in 1797 aboard the Lady Washington.

Hard to believe it’s only a been a year. I can’t say it’s been fun but has been educational and interesting. I have may have to rewatch Game of Thrones to give me some ideas on how to handle my colleagues or possibly read some Machiavelli

I think a lot of viewers will eventually return. When Trump was first elected I quit watching MSNBC for a long period but eventually returned and I suspect I will again. Its not the commentators fault the news is too depressing to watch, its the unwashed masses electoral choices.
