The first time I watched Return of the Jedi, I wondered how we were supposed to believe that a gelatinous, slimy mound of. Evil who could barely move around and wholly depended on sycophants to cater to his every whim could have possibly amassed such a fortune that he would inspire fear and be running things.  I get it now.

Sparky for Prez! How much worse could he be? Hey, tomtomorrow.bsky.social, is the campaign swag ready yet?
Seven panel comic of Sparky the Penguin's presidential platform.
1. Sparky the Penguin announces his Presidential campaign... "On my first day in office I will Raze the Trump Ballroom to the Ground, and Remove his name from every building he defaces. If he builds that stupid arch, It's coming down too.
2. I will look backward as well as forward, holding nuremberg-style trials for every law-breaking member of the current administration -- with special attention to Stephen Miller.  The Trump family's ill-gotten assets will be seized to pay for restoration and reparations.
3. I will dismantle D.H.S. and hold every agent of I.C.E. and related agencies accountable for the crimes they have committed. I will work with congress to immediately expand the supreme court, and to impose term limits on justices.
4. Furthermore, I will taxx billionaires out of existence., and I will help Elon Musk achieve his dream of Mars colonization -- by sending him there on a one-way trip.
5. And there will be no public commemoration of donald trump -- with the exception of his eventual final resting place, which will be designed as a european-style pissoir. I expect it to be very popular with tourists.
6. Q from bystander: But -- aare you even eligible for the presidency? Sparky: There's no rule in the constitution that says a penguin can't play basketball! Er, I mean, be president.
7. Sparky: Besides -- have you seen the guy we've got now? How much worse could I be? Bystander: Okay, fair point.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.
An upside-down American flag hangs from El Capitan near Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall on Saturday to protest the thousands of federal job cuts made by President Donald Trump’s administration.

A glimmer of hope: we have no idea what'll happen. TL/DR ( from the article): "In a landmark study, the psychologist Philip Tetlock evaluated several decades of predictions about political and economic events. He found that 'the average expert was roughly as accurate as a dart-throwing chimpanzee.'"
