After a Veep-inspired opening in which we learn that Amy Schinton has been elected the first female president of the United States, Inside Amy Schumer launched into a sketch that summed up every mans biggest fear about what might happen if someone of the opposite sex is in charge.
I got my period on my first day? Schumers president character says after discovering she also has 200 million new Twitter followers. OK, OK, OK, you can handle this. Its not ideal for the first day. Its not amazing. But you can do anything. Youre the president.

Later, while meeting with an Israeli official, she snaps at him for taking the last piece of chocolate. Youve been eating all of them, you could have just at least asked me!

I skipped down to the article below not knowing it was different because the page was jumping all over the place..

Yes, I have noticed that with some links lately. It's a real pain.
What really pisses me off is that so much of the "hate fan fiction" is posted so regularly and so often on DU. But I have full confidence that she will survive that too.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Americans again name Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama the woman and man living anywhere in the world they admire most. Both win by wide margins over the next-closest finishers, Malala Yousafzai for women and Pope Francis and Donald Trump for men.
Granted, the article is from Dec 2015. But still ...
