The fact that that a pair of deranged septuagenarians managed to singlehandedly steer the entire world into a serious economic crisis and a conflict that puts us on the brink of nuclear war is almost unbelievable. And yet here we are. I remain hopeful that an exit ramp will be found soon, as it becomes clear to all parties that this simply cannot continue, but it's very possible things will only escalate further.

I'd say there needs to be checks and balances on the presidency; it's insane how everyone can vote for one con man who'll say anything to get in the office, only for him to turn around and go completely rogue once he's in office, but there already are checks and balances for this kind of thing and no one's enforcing them because they too are paid to turn the other way.

If only there were some kind of congressional approval needed to go to war.
