I remember right after the 2016 election, I'd be driving somewhere and the news would come on the radio and they would refer to "President Elect Trump."

I giggled and was horrified at the same time. Then I thought "well, he will rise to the occasion and surround himself with competent people."

And to some extent he did surround himself with some competent people. And those people left quickly once they realized what they had gotten themselves into.

I can to some extent understand the people who said in 2017 that they expected Trump to be sobered up by the responsibilities of his new office, and to take advice and try to do a good job. Even I thought he might take a stab at that.

Serious question here:

If the damage from H. Milton is off the charts, the US will have to cough up a LOT of money.
Insurers started bailing from the last H.
We're next.

Would it be so much that we might have to withdraw from helping others... Social Security...

Balance of power, in the balance

Harris, Trump us
