In the future, Americans — assuming there are any left — will look back at 2016 and remark: “What the HELL?”
As Election Day approaches, a consensus forms among the experts in the media/political complex, based on a vast array of demographic and scientific polling data evaluated with sophisticated analytical tools.These experts, who have made lucrative careers out of going on TV and explaining America to Americans, overwhelmingly agree that Hillary Clinton will win, possibly in a landslide, and this could very well mean the end of the Republican Party. The Explainers are very sure of this, nodding in unison while smiling in bemusement at the pathetic delusions of the Trump people. Unfortunately, it turns out that a large sector of the American public has not been brought up to speed on all this expert analysis. Dave Barry's 2016 Year in Review | Miami Herald

Your Say
When diving head first into one's own BS, expect to be known as a dung-kopf.

Dave Barry has those liberal proggy leanings most wealthy people seem to get,but his sense of the absurd is sharp and cuts all ways. It's probably how he managed to survive a friendship with the batshit Stephen King. Every time Gerard posts a "Japan,Nuked Too Much,or..." it reminds me of the 1992 "Dave Barry Does Japan" book he wrote of his trip there,it's break-a-rib-laughing funny. Informative,too. The Japanese love pizza,and corn kernels are a popular topping.

From my point of view 2016 was satisfactory.
The corporate media whores were exposed for the statist lying filth that they are.
The Republican establishment was exposed as an enemy of the people of America.
The Neocon traitors lost across the board.
The DNC was definitively shown to be a criminal cess pit of depravity.
The visibly physically rotting corrupt war-monger got, if not justice, at least her due deserts.
What's not to like?

What Bill said,oh yes. 2016 was The Gauntlet this country needed to endure. So much was revealed,and needed to be. Climbing out of the Culture of Crap will be rather pleasant,I think. Expect a Shitstorm of Epic Proportions to try to deep-six pending AG Jeff Sessions. Many DCers have much to be concerned about.
Ah,Ghost,what a great image,the wheel,flaming tomahawks...richly deserved,but copius amounts of ill-gotten lucre will insulate her criminal ass,just like her creepy husband's. They are irrelevant. That is a fate worse than flaming justice.

Re Clinton, I keep remembering the scene at the end of the third Lord of the Rings movie where Aragorn calls for Sauron to "come forth that Justice may be done unto him".
A resolution devoutly to be wished.

We can find solace in knowing that she now endures her own personal hell.
Til the end of history she will be known as mostly evil, and she knows it.
I don't expect her to last long.

I'm sure someone, somewhere has taken out a "dead Peasants" life insurance policy on it. One year's premium should do it.
