I’ve made the joke before, but I believe we are living through the beginning of Idiocracy. Uneducated twits get elected to these positions because their voting base is largely under educated and votes like it’s a popularity contest.

Read this morning that Kim-Jong Trump is gonna roll out another "travel ban" list. Iran is in the main group and they're almost a lock to qualify for next year. Then of course we have the Club World Cup this summer, wonder if he'll let the North African teams in.
