I’m sure, if you have a half of a brain, you’re freaked out by the bullshit going down all over the place, and the utter lack of action on the part of President Pixiedust.

You may be pissed about all of this, but you might just be about to get more pissed.

See, we’ve been, as a nation, Exceptional. We’ve done some dumb shit, but even the dumb shit has, in is own way, been exceptional.

And President pixiedust hates that.

The way he’s treated our friends, the way he’s treated our enemies, the way he’s handled domestic affairs and foreign ones, is not because he is incompetent, for he is not. It is not because he’s inept-he may well be, but his handlers are not.

No, this is all because he, and his handlers, want to show the rest of the planet that we can be mediocre too. “We’re bad friends! We’re stupid enemies! We fuck up the environment! We really are just like you!

Pascal has a piece in which he talks about having our nose rubbed in our mediocrity. You should read it. he almost nevber crapblogs so it’s probably safe over there.
