America’s Great Airport Meltdown

Let’s say you’re a wildly unpopular president facing record disapproval and a shrinking base of support even within your own party. Let’s say that you’ve led the United States into a military conflict a majority of Americans don’t want, that you’ve bungled the execution of this conflict so badly that you’ve accidentally handed your adversary control over a large slice of the global energy economy, and that your unsuccessful strong-arming of your allies has revealed that even as a bully, you’re probably washed. Let’s say your vanity, your cruelty, and your incompetence have alienated so many people that more than 8 million protesters turned out on a single day to oppose you, while one of your most passionate defenders has been Rob Schneider.
