Just came up with something good that happened: The Cubs won the series
And the Cavs. I'm not a Cavs fan, but they won.

can't name one thing that was good about this year so far as international news is concerned.
I can't name a single thing off the top of my head for international good news outside of what you listed
But the Cubs winning the World Series made 2016 good on its own. For me atleast.
Shout out to Coastal Carolina too

Alabama winning the national championship to start the year. Beating LSU at home to end it.
Seriously, awful year for the state, especially with flooding. NW, NE, Central, SW and SE Louisiana. All had extensive flooding at some point in the year.

I don't think it's necessarily that 2016 is the worst ever
The claim should be that 2016 was ridiculous. For example, Trump winning will please most on this board. But few can deny that an election cycle involving Hillary being investigated by the FBI while Trump trolls the country contributes to the absurdity.
I'm pleased enough with the outcome (at least in the one on one matchup), but that doesn't change the fact that the election cycle was an unbelievable shitshow

I've had better years to be honest.

Those two should have never been the candidates. Both uniquely unqualified for the job. Worst election in American history, and I'm including 1860 since at least Lincoln was a good leader. Trump will at best be a goof leader.

I agree with that. Maybe I should change the title. There were some tragic events, sure, but every year has those. There was definitely an abundance of ridiculous events.

Yeah we'll know if the tide is turning if Bama can figure out a way to lose in the playoff.

This is the most violent year on record I can think of in the US (save 2001) with all the damn shootings and the Orlando massacre. It's without question the worst year of my lifetime.

made 2016 one of, if not, the worst year in history?
Holy hyperbole.
2016 doesn't even register on the list of bad years in history.

Maybe not in human history, but living, it has to be up there. Like it's no 1941, but it still was just awful. Only year I can think of in my lifetime that can beat it is 2001.

Stfu. 2016 has been one of the best years in recent history.

Tennessee wild fire
Oakland warehouse fire
horrible but, not as bad as the previous 2..
Health insurance rate hikes.

Make no mistake, a lot of bad shite happened: More Euro terror attacks, Orlando attack, lots of famous people dead, BR flooding, Gatlinburg fires, etc.
But some crazy arguably not-so-bad shite happened too: Cubs, Leicester City won the Premier League, Army breaks the streak, shocker election results (Brexit, US).
