        If you've never read them, Slate's "If It Happened There" series is hilarious in a sad way, and tackles this sort of double-standard where a billionaire with ties to Putin is an oligarch but a billionaire with ties to Trump is a business magnate and job creator:

        Political Chaos as Regime Purges Powerful Security Chief (Comey's firing)

        Armed Rebel Faction Occupies Government Building (The Malheur occupation)

        Death of Hard-Line Jurist Throws Regime Into Chaos (Scalia's death)
