Most of the developed world use the Westminster system, in which Head of State and Chief Executive are different positions. Head of State is either a royal or elected directly; Chief Executive is elected by the legislature. The US is actually an outlier in this regard.
Of course this will also stop the winds from blowing, keep tides from rising or falling, and cause hot springs (and all other underground hot things) to cool to room temperature in a matter of minutes.
If we have another Toba-class event, we're going to be worrying about lots of other things in any case--such as digging ourselves out from under all that volcanic ash and a worldwide, decades-long drop in average temperature on the order of 15C.
You're correct about both Hillary's unloveableness and especially the US right wing's own very concerted and decades-long campaign to undermine trust in government and other institutions.
But the latter in no wise means that Putin hasn't been making efforts of his own to help that process along, and indeed there's considerable evidence suggesting that he has been doing that very thing.
So maybe you should wake up a bit more yourself.

The KGB already admitted they were behind a lot of the US peace movements in the 60's, specifically designed to disrupt the US cold war effort. So how is this any different?
According to Western intelligence sources quoted in the same article, a lot of this was just braggadocio.
And some folks might notice how well this plays into the Left=traitors narrative so popular these days. Not to mention Putin's strategy flip which now sees the KGB's successor providing support for the US right wing instead.
Comey (not "Coney") gave a long speech *alleging* that HC may have broken the law. Unless and until she is actually charged and actually faces trial, that's all it is. *Alleged*.

HIllary wasn't President. Bill wasn't officially anything other than a private citizen.
Apples and oranges.
Insightful? WTF?
"Bitches don't know about my Trail of Tears!" I guess.
And yet this is a thing.
The myth of "sovereign" states was shown to be just that--a myth--about 150 years ago. Do try to catch up.
I'm sorry now that I already posted in this thread, so I can't mod this up. And it damn well should be.
If you're going to steal from me, at least learn how to punctuate correctly, Sparky.

Look, kids---it's an APK sockpuppet!
Calls for wanton destruction are not dissent.

Tickets to visit Trump Tower?
You guys are really quite afraid of him, aren't you?
Fuck you and your condescension and the horse you both rode in on, cowardly motherfucker.
Happy now?
Still not taken off the glasses with the reversing lenses yet, I see...

Yep, all the goodness of the Soviet Union without any of that troubling Marxist stuff.

That's a purely rhetorical question, of course.
Logic fail. "Wrong" != "Fake".
You could, you know, just skip the stories that don't interest you? That's worked for me since the Chips&Dips era, old-timer.

Quoth the law of the land, no less.
More like a safe space for hordes of ACs who can't make up their minds whether their stiffies are for Trump or Putin, you mean?
You apparently don't understand what "at the time" means. AC apparently does. Next?
Mossadegh died in 1967. I imagine all the CIA/MI6 folks who overthrew him are now safely beyond accountability.
