The year 2018 could never have achieved its record-setting level of political chaos and sheer inanity without the help of the many people and few governments that weren’t killing people, making war on their neighbors or just being annoying.
January
On New Year’s Day, California became the ninth state to legalize recreational marijuana. Shortly after that, several cities created affirmative action programs meant to help minority would-be pot sellers into the business. Criminals, who usually can’t get liquor licenses, are favored.
While the East Coast was being battered by a “bomb cyclone,” a winter storm so severe that frozen iguanas were falling from trees in Florida and sharks killed by the cold waters were washing up on New England beaches, Algore told us the ultra-cold weather was caused by “climate change,” the left’s label for what they used to call global warming.
It was so cold that Sen. Elizabeth Warren claimed to be an Eskimo.
Michael Wolff’s book Fire and Fury described President Trump as an idiot and mentally unstable. Trump answered the book’s criticism by Tweeting that he was a “very stable genius.” That brought to mind an incident from decades ago when the New York Times reported that Rep. Bill Scott of Virginia (later Sen. Scott) was the dumbest member of Congress. Scott then had a press conference to deny he was stupid, thereby proving the Times’s point.
Murphy’s Law was written to describe how governments work.

“they” tell us that we may actually see colder weather because of man-made unicorn farts but roll back 20 years ago and you will find them saying that British children have seen their last snowfall and it is only gonna be onward and upward temps (like a hockey stick).
I was thinking about how Dems in cross-over states (where they can vote for either party in the primary) always come over to vote FOR the candidate they think is easiest to beat in the general. I bet there are a lot that did that for Trump.
Who is the real idiot? :-)
