Well this is terrifying

 

Sweet

 

The short answer is, basically, the bureaucracy. A lot of our government institutions can continue to function even with a terrible president meddling in shit.

Def believe the times when they came out played into how people perceived them.

 

Best political show is Veep don't @ me

 

Parks and Rec gets my nod.

 

How did I forget about Parks

 

Gonna really miss her presence on the debate stage
