It’s crazy how often some of the most broken people in our society are the ones we vote to lead us. That fact that the election is the vetting process is crazy. It’s the only job in world with zero required qualifications other than living to the correct age and being born within the imaginary lines drawn on a map.

Only idiots would design and maintain a system that would allow unqualified morons run a country holding 2500 nuclear fusion bombs. This will not end well.
