"In the future, Americans – assuming there are any left – will look back at 2016 and remark: 'What the hell?'  Yes, we’ve seen some weird years. But we’ve never seen one as weird as 2016.

If years were relatives, 2016 would be the uncle who shows up at your Thanksgiving dinner wearing his underpants on the outside."
