The Donald J. Trump Presidency

yeah i'll prob get drunk tomorrow

Breakin out the crystal and some scotch tomorrow night.

An important lesson of the last four years is that all of our initial anxieties about the Trump administration were entirely justified. Actually, these last four years, especially this past year, have been immeasurably worse than anything we could have predicted four years ago. Recognizing that probably isn't going to make us feel any better about the state of the world but it should hopefully disquiet any fears you have about being a delusional alarmist about the other existential problems facing all of us, especially the looming threat of global climate catastrophe. All of those fears are absolutely grounded in reality. We aren't just being alarmist. We all share a common and concrete understanding of the world we are living in, which is foundational to eventually changing it.

Also, fuck Donald Trump and his whole family!

yes to all above

fuck anyone who shrugged and said we should give him a chance

we all knew exactly what would happen and it was even worse than that

Remember when our national media kept searching for a moment when Donald Trump had "become presidential." My favorite example is the night that he decided to fire missiles into Syrian territory and Brian Williams celebrated by quoting Leonard Cohen. The last four years have been fucking dark...

i'm gonna get drunk today
