The Ice Age

Would that this were the Ice Age! Imagine all the dinosaurs purged from the earth—leaving a verdant planet. You know how you come back refreshed from the spa? Now with all the Retrumplicans on the way to becoming fossils ( which is undoubtedly the highest iteration of their being) whatever remains of the US will rejoin the Paris Climate Accords. No need for any meteor to hit the earth.The planet has taken a big enough hit, one greater than any piece of space debris could effect with the GOP in control of the senate, the house and the executive branches of government. Will life go on after Trump's executive orders aimed at destroying everything from vaccines to social security and Medicare? Will it be able to muster the energy without due process and the protection of the average person from the whims and wiles of an increasingly capricious national order?
