It's been a damn good 2016.

By this time next year we will be repealing Obamacare, cutting taxes, and slashing regulations. "It's the economy, stupid!"

In my opinion, Pence is worse than Trump
Soon the sun will set- is that prophecy? No, it's merely an assertion of faith in the consistency of events.


Remember this Earth. Never forget her, but — never come back. If you come back, you might meet the Archangel at the east end of Earth, guarding her passes with a sword of flame. Space is your home hereafter. It’s a lonelier desert than ours.


By the -anarchist-neoliberal spirit I mean that deeply human sentiment, which aims at the good of all, freedom and justice for all, solidarity and love among the people;

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!

Who knows, maybe he'll be impeached (he has demonstrated a lack of knowledge about what's in the Constitution). That would be a terrible thing for our democracy to endure -- but it's not like Trump hasn't already shown a fundamental lack of respect for our institutions. And Mike Pence might have the same politics, but at least he would carry his office well.

Starting in January the GOP has a 47 vote majority in the House. Trump will not be impeached unless he kills someone on national television and even then, the vote would be close.

Granted, the chances of impeachment are slim. But it's important to note that many Republicans absolutely despise Trump. We saw this in the general election when people were running as far as they could away from him. On the other hand, Pence is absolutely "one of them" for lack of a better term.

President Trump is one of the best things to happened in 2016, to be completely frank. VP Pence is a great man too. If something happens to Trump, I'd be more than happy (actually, happier) with Prez Pence.

I think 2016 has been a good year generally---I mean, maybe Brexit might be an uh-oh moment.

Of course they ran away from him, everyone thought he was going to make a crater so big that one in Arizona would look like a pebble hit the ground from six feet up. Now that they had one of the best electoral victories they've had in years, they're all going to close ranks and play Follow The Leaders for as long as possible. They're very good at that, unlike the Democrats, who suck at party unity.

If all the energy in the universe was converted to matter, and every last particle had the word "HATE" etched into it, there would not be enough repetitions of that word to adequately express my loathing of this wretched year.

Until they all rolled over and started begging for a chance to suck his cock, anyway. Republican politicians, I mean, the ones who decided to sell whatever was left of their souls in exchange for votes.

Like Omarosa said, Mr. Trump has a long memory and they're keeping a list. *nod*

My thoughts on this year can be summed up in this modified old East German joke: Was ist der Unterschied zwischen 2016 und einer falschen Telefonnummer? Nichts! Aufhängen, neuwählen!
Pro dolorosa Eius passione, miserere nobis et totius mundi.

In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
Domine Iesu Christe, Fili Dei, miserere mei, peccatoris.
