Welp, it was a long 2018, but we finally got through it.

What's that you say? It's only been two days? And Trump's already used Twitter to rant about the Deep State, claim credit for the lack of airplane crashes, inflame tensions in the Middle East, threaten North Korea with nuclear war, and tease an upcoming attack on the freedom of the press?

Check please! And by check, I mean institutional checks and balances to prevent the abuse of executive power.

Looks like everyone is already digging 2018.

In 2017, I put pictures of myself crying in the fetal position on my vision board, so I feel like this year is going according to plan.

At least we can take refuge in the silliness of YouTube and ... who's Logan Paul? What did he do? Ohhhhhhhhhhh.

Only 363 days to go.
