A friendly reminder that no matter who wins the next presidential election, this is the state that person will be president of.
On a recent podcast with Judge Napolitano, former CIA employee Philip Giraldi said this when asked about CIA murder:
Q: Would the director of the CIA himself order the murder of a foreign national civilian? A: Sure. The Director of the CIA would order it — just as President Obama used to meet with his senior intelligence officials every Tuesday morning and draw up a list of Americans who were overseas who were a threat and should be assassinated by the United States.

Ah, but though the winner gets to be king (kinda) of a massive shithole, they should take solace in the fact that it isn't the biggest nor deepest nor smelliest shithole on earth... ever.
But they also get a massive shithole that is only going to GET bigger, deeper and smellier... cuz only 0.7% of all who vote (which will STILL only be about two thirds of eligible voters) ever vote to make it smaller, shallower and/or less fetid.
But as Milton wrote: "Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven". At least there is a lotta money in reigning in hell. And making this hell into something close to heaven would be real hard.
tough choice. get pai…
