April Fool’s Day*
Strangely enough, when the U.S. election results were announced, it felt like April Fool’s had come early.
Except, this wasn’t a one-day prank. Instead, it’s turned into a prolonged, mind-numbing hangover of gigantic proportions. No one, anywhere, could have imagined that the political leg-pulling that began on January 20th would morph into a not-so-hilarious reality—one that seems to have its roots far deeper than that first bite of the apple.
So, happy Fool’s Day to everyone who voted this joke into office. And for those who simply wanted to break free from the same old, same old, well… we’ve seen similar shifts here, and they’re proving to be far from pleasant.
But hey, at least you’ve only got three years, seven months, and a handful of strange days left—assuming he doesn’t go full rogue and twist your precedents into securing a third term.
The only thing I’ll say is: keep an eye on April 12th. If things go according to plan, much of this debacle may be swapped out for something just as bad.
Happy April Fool’s Day.
Cheers.
