How do you feel now about the Trump Presidency?

nobody rushed back to answer that, did they?

From where I'm sitting it seems like a complete farce, but one where Trump's supporters are largely staying supportive and ignoring any criticism as "fake news". They've just revealed their (shit) replacement for ACA is called "World's Greatest Healthcare Plan of 2017". Even North Korea might think that was a bit too silly.

Meanwhile I'm seeing much of the same collective dumbfuckery on this side of the Atlantic over Brexit so hey, it's not like I want to throw stones or anything.

I came back to this thread the other day to ask that question, forgetting I'd already asked it. Very quiet.

But her email server!!

US Vice President Mike Pence 'used a private email to discuss security issues – and it was hacked'

Ha, if that ever wasn't clearly an excuse, there's been enough from the new administration to prove it a few times over.

I don't really understand how we collectively managed to get this stupid.

Well my brother who is a Canadian by birth with a green card living in the states (where he has always lived) is relocating his family to Canada, where they have never lived (except his wife went to college here), because of Trump.

People have always been this stupid, just taken a while to be demonstrated clearly enough.

I liked the film Idiocracy. I don't like it do much any more.

I would probably describe it as the systems of power exploiting the stupidity have become more successful, but yeah probably.
