Today's OneWord: Incapable

I no longer hope. I am incapable of hope. I see the decline and fall of a country that tried so hard to be an empire without the emperor part. And now that the emperor struts around in orange wearing a toupee crown, I guess we can safely say that this experiment is over. Forget norms. Forget institutions. At least I happen to be living in an area where maybe we can raise the flag for independence if the rest of the nation falls apart like stale chocolate left too long on a grocery store shelf.
