If you can’t have your way, let the world burn… Gotcha.

That is literally the rationale for lots of people. I've heard it spoken verbatim, and heck, when I was young and stupid, I said it myself. It'll hasten the collapse and move us more quickly toward a glorious new future!

It was 'mike' when I was a kid, and I know it's 'mic' now but I'm old and stubborn and I've always resisted it. By the ordinary rules of phonics, 'mic' should be the first syllable of that burger place with piss-yellow arches.

Whatever happens on November 5 and after, it's been nice having a President who doesn't always, by his nature, rule out doing the right thing once in a while.

I have a $50 bet riding on it, which I'd love to lose, but my money says Trump never sees half an hour of jail time.
