Schadenfreude.

Problem is, she's laughing at herself. If the US (or anybody else for that matter) drops the ball on climate change (ie doesn't massively accelerate the reduction in carbon and other emissions) within the next few months, humanity is dead.

Without China getting on board, we're all pretty much fucked anyway.

Besides, sometimes when you're faced with the absurd, the only rational response is laughter.

Why?

Exactly.  Yall are hitching your wagon to us in leaving the EU, as goes the US, so too goes the UK. Poor surrogate nations will feel our fuckups sooner then we ever will (that's just how we roll). The UK qualifies.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Have you noticed that Trump's picks all happen to hate the departments they've been nominated to head?

Right, but I'd really love to hear from the crown that kept saying it was a choice between a turd and a shit sandwich, or how they were EQUALLY BAD choices.

Fuck. Stupid. Fuck. Just fuck the whole planet because Hillary had a private email server. Stupid motherfuckers.

The false equivalency still astonishes me. I wasn't thrilled about Hillary, but that had more to do with her baggage than her actual positions. However, once the nominees were chosen, it became a no-brainer.

The Trump supporters wanted change, and that's exactly what they're going to get. The pity is that many of them are so dense they won't realize that the change came at their expense. In fact, I'll wager that whenever the true cost of the pig fuck that's coming becomes clear, many of them will find some way to blame liberals for the mess, as usual.
