We're all going to die.

That's about as positive as I get today.

That's true. Incumbents have a huge advantage over their opponents, though.

Only in 2004 and, in fairness, Demon-crats, ran a candidate that never put together a platform. The voters were choosing between "Bush" and "some guy who's not Bush".

Since when have we voted against a war or two?

These days, "a new war that we need to support" is part of the package when a new president comes into office.

No WMDs.  No Terror Links.  Being shot at by people who were supposed to greet us as liberators.  The cost.  The casualties.  The failure to catch Bin Laden.

Bush should have been thrown out on his fucking ear.

Yeah, but surely there is some kind of limitation of executive orders or something. And couldn't the President be impeached for abusing them? I still don't think people are going to let Trump implement what he wants to do.

Executive Orders are used to set certain government pay raises; make resolutions regarding certain events; and to direct the lowering of flags to half staff for a certain period, like when a former President bites the dust.
