At this point it would be a mercy if we had to unconditionally surrender to some foreign liberator.

Rick Perry as Energy Secretary is a bad joke. Is this dim bulb’s real function to just serve as the fall guy?
Rick Perry, Aggie Joke.

We have already done so.
Although it’s neither precisely “foreign” nor is it a liberator.
Close enough, though.

Well we really didn’t want to vote, did we? All that icky thinking. Of course, most of us just selected Team Blue or Team Red and joined in the fun the cheerleaders were leading. Saved wear and tear on the brain, which we can now use for memorizing meaningless baseball statistics and random unimportant facts about ignorant tabloid tabloid personalities with talent only for adultery and getting drunk. That’s a better use for our brains, isn’t it?
At this point, I’m not sure any sane country would want us.
I certainly have no way of predicting the future and I’m just throwing spitballs here. At one point I was fairly certain that the US’ eventual decline as a world power be fairly gradual and that our landing would be relatively soft. Events over the last year or so have left me convinced that our decline will be swift, sudden, and quite ugly. Our institutions are more brittle than they once were, and without sane people to mind the proverbial store, there’s not much to keep those institutions propped up. Wish I could be more optimistic.
It is kinda like this folks things in the USA will only get as bad as the populace of the USA allow it to. The key question is what will be the breaking point?
