I don't know what to say.  I hate the suffering this man will cause in this position. I don't know how to process the absurdity of this exept with humor.  Saw this very fitting German webcomic today. (Translation below)

Did you catch the review of the inauguration that appeared a few days ago in the Scottish Sunday Herald?

President Trump: The Inauguration

4pm, BBC One/ STV

After a long absence, The Twilight Zone returns with one of the most ambitious, expensive and controversial productions in broadcast history. Sci-fi writers have dabbled often with alternative history stories - among the most common is the “What If The Nazis Had Won The Second World War” setting - but this huge interactive virtual reality project, which will unfold on TV, in the press, and on Twitter over the next four years, sets out to build an ongoing alternative present. The story begins in a nightmarish version of 2017 in which huge sections of the US electorate have somehow been duped into voting to make Donald Trump president. It sounds far-fetched, and it is, but as it goes on it becomes more and more chillingly plausible. Today’s feature-length opener concentrates on the gaudy inauguration of President Trump, and the stirrings of protest and despair surrounding the ceremony, while pundits speculate gravely on what lies ahead. It’s a flawed piece, but a disturbing glimpse of the horrors we could stumble into, if we’re not careful.

Mr Trump is none too popular here in Scotland.

I saw a documentary about that golf curse (I'll leave this very fitting typo).

I'm so pissed at every single person who set us all up with this monster.

Doesn't bode super well for Scotland actually. Any trade deal Trump strikes with the UK, I'm sure... well it will be a horrendous deal for the UK anyway, because AMERICA FIRST, but I'm sure it will be an extra bad deal for Scotland. Because he has an axe to grind against our politicians now.
