The news story isn't that an escalator stopped working at the UN.
The news is Trump gave a batshit insane, lie-filled, egocentric, incoherent speech there in front of the world's leaders.
Hello? Media?
We need a new category to even describe what usa has become.
a 6th rate country developing backwards
towards resurrecting the worst epidemics of the dark age and under rule of a demented perverse and totally insane dictator.
it is becoming what the founders wanted.
No not them woke ones that wrote the snowflake constitution.
The ones at Plymouth Rock who came looking for somewhere where they could oppress everyone else because of their religeous misogyny, Homophobia, racism and bigotry.
@Kerplunk I would use 'retrograde', a term from astrology and astronomy for the apparent reverse (backwards) motion of an object. While retrograde motion is a parallax illusion in sky observations, its metaphorical meaning is "going backwards", which is what astrologers originally assumed.
Something 'retrograde' is something that is going backwards from the course it had before. That aptly describes the track the US is on right now. We are reversing reforms of the last 50-100 years.
