2016: The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year

    “What’s past is prologue.” ― William Shakespeare, The Tempest

What a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year this has been.

Endless wars. Toxic politics. Violence. Hunger. Police shootings. Mass shootings. Economic downturns. Political circuses. Senseless tragedies. Loss. Heartache. Intolerance. Prejudice. Hatred. Apathy. Meanness. Cruelty. Poverty. Inhumanity. Greed.

Here’s just a small sampling of what we’ve suffered through in 2016.

After three years of increasingly toxic politics, the ruling oligarchy won and “we the people” lost. The FBI’s investigation of Hillary’s emails ended with a whimper, rather than a bang. FBI director James Comey declared Clinton’s use of a private email server to be careless rather than criminal. Bernie Sanders sparked a movement only to turn into a cheerleader for Hillary Clinton. Clinton won the popular vote but lost the election. Donald Trump won the White House while the American people lost any hope of ending the corporate elite’s grip on the government.

"Endless wars. Toxic politics. Violence. Hunger. Police shootings. Mass shootings. Economic downturns. Political circuses. Senseless tragedies. Loss. Heartache. Intolerance. Prejudice. Hatred. Apathy. Meanness. Cruelty. Poverty. Inhumanity. Greed."

In short, this year was like every year in human history.....yawn.
It's interesting the stuff this nutjob left out.....like all the policemen shot by thugs. And a corporate grip on the gov? I guess we should have the gov. controlling everything so we can have  Venezuela Norte.
This guy a clueless dolt.

This journalist needs some English lessons. Some folks should try reading Shakespeare instead of quoting him.

Sure. If by "The People" the writer means denizens of Manhattan & LA county.

Without whom Hillary would't be able to claim winning the popular vote.
