Yes, this is exactly what I'm waiting for. Don't know what next, though.

American free speech is fucked, the democratic system is fucked, the economy is fucked, and the worst part is it is also going to affect non-Americans.

The Belle Epoque is done, then. On the overall, it was even shorter than last time.
As an aside, I finally realized that this Pence is a guy that was running for vice-president. All this time I was thinking those "TrumpPence" posters were a weird wordplay on "tuppence".

Obviously. Although I'd be grateful if USA stopped creepily mimicking Poland like right now.
Because our own shitheads didn't actually have absolute majority in parliament according to bare vote ratio, but...

The founders did that on purpose because they don't trust people to vote. So yeah, electoral college. It happens in a lot of other first past the post election style places.

Poland has something entirely different for a different reason - I think it's based on the French system? I'm not sure. I don't want to get into details because they're unimportant and I'm rambling as it is.
But with all the crazy stuff... maybe I should try to augur some more.

That's how it works, especially with the first past the post system and how regions tend to work out.

Well, some interesting news.
Trump went to talk to Obama for 15 minutes, he came out an hour later saying that Obama was pretty great and he looked forward to asking him for advice in the future.
...What?
Also, a lot of the Islamophobic crap on his website up and just... vanished.
Hmm.
