Tell me, why on Earth would anyone in his or her right mind want to be president of the United States of America?

I know people who have gone off the deep end having responsibility for the Ladies Aid.

Certain Ohio officials and lawmakers need constant reminders that messing with voting hours and shoveling other restrictions at voters that make voting harder in Ohio are violations of federal law. A federal judge issued just such a reminder last week -- rebuking the state's Republican legislative majority, and Secretary of State Jon Husted who supported the move, for eliminating so-called Golden Week in Ohio when voters can both register and cast a ballot.

Ivy Tech might be the most politicized institution in Indiana, and Sue Ellspermann seemed to have a lock on the job even before a search began for the statewide community college system's new leader.
As Barack Obama's presidency takes a backseat to the psychodrama known as the 2016 election, historians, speculators and revisionists are busy writing his presidential epitaph. Not least of the revisionists is Obama himself.
If Modiji wants to build a fence on the Pakistan border, Trumpji wants to build a big business wall around the whole of America. Even this wall business, Trumpji learnt from Modiji only.

The ultraconservatives in charge have sabotaged the state economy, transferred the burden of paying for what's left of state government from businesses and well-off residents to those without resources to pay for anything additional, and without remorse are seeking re-election. How any of them can look at us with a straight face, let alone ask for our votes, is beyond the pale.
