We are the laughingstock of the world because of stupid sh-t like this (not to mention the chaos in the House, the constant shutdowns of the federal government, or the threat thereof, etc., etc.).....................

My biggest fear is that, thanks primarily to the previous election of Donald Chump, and the current chaos of the GOP, the world will essentially become destabilized. Before Chump was elected the world could look to the U.S. as a stabilizing power with a mighty military that could deploy rapidly to any part of the world, as the need arose. During the Chump years we became a worldwide political laughingstock, and now the GOP has kneecapped the military to the point that those countries being led by the despots and dictators are not afraid to make major military moves because they know we are at a point of governmental weakness. The terrifying part is that the GOP does not recognize their part in this world destabilization, and they are not making any effort to correct their childish behaviors.
