It's becoming increasingly hard to distinguish headlines from a chummy satirical news site and those from the never-ending hellish dystopia we still call "America."

Just two months ago, Americans lived under an administration whose most salacious scandals involved a hypoallergenic family dog and "something something emails." Now, we live under a President who may or may not have paid Russian prostitutes to pee on him, could be a Kremlin puppet (?) and appointed a white nationalist in love with World of Warcraft to be in charge of National Security.
