[kj] (OT) A Year of Trump

[Jim Harper]

Prior to the election I can completely understand why some people were opposed to Clinton as president. But right now, with the Rump dismantling the Middle East peace process and openly provoking further violence, a Hilary Clinton presidency is the plot of an unwritten alternative history novel. What we're dealing with now is horrifyingly real.

 There were a couple of Gatherers who
 were far more up-in-arms about Hilary than Trump, but I
 can't say I've heard much from either since.

 worried that Trump wouldn't be interested in helping to
 defend Japan, but now they're petrified that he's dragging
 them into a war with North Korea and enabling their own
 whackjobs at the same time.

 hard to imagine how the situation could be even remotely
 worse including under a hypothetical Hilary Clinton
 presidency. Whatever horrendous flaws she may have had,
 saying at this juncture "Well, Hilary would have been
 worse!" is nothing short of ridiculous.
