When Iran's supreme leader was reported killed in a bombing attack, one question surfaced quickly: What happens when a political system built around one man suddenly loses him?

Well, why Beijing is the one which can't avoid this question and not Washington? Tell me, Washington, what happens when the Rapist in chief kicks the bucket?

Our government isn't quite a case of Trump's word is law. And it was only two years ago that we had a nearly functional government. When Trump finally does the only good thing he will ever do, we have something to fall back on.
