We Have Never Had Such a Cheap Counterfeit of a President

If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       This Vicious Buffoon Is a Vessel for All the Worst Elements of the American Condition   This video of Donald Trump, American President, mocking Dr. Christine Blasey Ford should be the only news from now until Election Day, and probably beyond that, all the way to the next Election Day in 2020 as well. This video captures perfectly where we are as a nation at this moment in history. It shows with startling clarity the end result of civic disengagement and democratic apathy. It shows without question that we have allowed our republic to fall into the hands of a sociopath whose feeling for his fellow human beings can be measured against a poker chip. We have had good presidents and bad—a Buchanan is followed by a Lincoln who is followed by an Andrew Johnson, and so forth.

You've probably heard that countless times before, but the fact remains that it's not just a truism—it's true.

But we would like to share something we've been thinking, which is this: it is natural to think that they're in the lobby of a hospital or a detention facility or something equally tear-jerking and grim, this being This Is Us. But what if it isn't? What if it's a future facility of joy? What if it's some kind of performance space?
