100 Days of Trump: Season 3

Ok, welcome back to 100 days of Trump Season 3, we are almost done with this monster.  Trying to explain why 2016 turned out the way it did in 100 recommendations of various works.  Check out everything I recommend, and you will have a greater understanding of why the Anglo world went entirely fucking insane.   76 days into Trump’s administration and..remarkably little has happened, turns out incompetence is the closest thing to a savior we have in these dark times.  Cause honestly, I feel like I’ve been more productive recommending stuff to you guys than Trump has been as you know...president.  In a world gone mad, madness is our only respite.  Check it out.

OH fun fact, in all of these posts I’ve made about how the Right is terrible, the one they threw a bitch fit about was...Fallout New Vegas, cause I was too mean to the Legion.  I am dead serious.
