At Some Point…

... you realize that Europe has a much longer history of dealing with pouty, superannuated children in charge of government, and with rulers who were just plain batshit crazy.  

Of course, we set up a new form of government to get away from all that. Maybe we should have been more open to a Parliamentary system, and less utopian about a government without political parties (especially seeing how long that ideal lasted after ratification).

Anyway, I think European leaders have a more realistic approach than “INVOKE THE 25th!” Because we’re finding out there is no Presidential escape clause. It’s Trump until this time in 2029. And if it’s not Trump, it’s Vance; which is hardly an improvement.

I think Europe’s gonna handle that better than we will.
