Don’t worry, the US will find a way to make the Brexit disaster look like a minor screwup soon enough.

They’re screwed now, which is why they advocated and voted so strongly for Remain. Scotland won’t be able to really survive on the Euro alone in the near to mid term, they need the pound and they need free trade with England, Wales, and Northern Ireland in the long term. Once the UK starts and finishes Article 50…

In the House this is particularly true. We have a shot at flipping the Senate this cycle and making some gains. A Supreme Court set at 5-3 will help with any redistricting lawsuits as well. It'll take time but it's doable IF we get off our asses and vote in off cycle elections.

We see the same thing in the US. The red states that complain the most about paying taxes are the same ones that receive the most federal money.

Brit here, too. My first inkling that the UK was on the road to Idiocracy was all the crying and wailing over Princess Diana’s funeral. “What,” I asked the cat (I was cat sitting at the time) “happened to our stiff upper lip and Dunkirk spirit? We’re acting like fucking Americans.” The cat agreed.

Exactly. One of the ways they sold the vote to stay in the UK was fear of getting kicked out of the EU. Now Scotland has zero reasons to stay.

I would say “I’m so sorry that your country is full of idiots”, but I’m sure Trump will win in November, and I’m going to hospitalize myself if that happens.

I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been laughing at each story about that I’ve read — mind you, laughing in a “Oh god everything is so awful that there’s nothing else to do but laugh at it” sort of way, but still....

What they mean is that this has increased the chances of Trump being elected. In US there is exactly the same thing that is happening in UK, the only difference is that US is more diverse the UK. The rise of far-right in both countries is very sad and scary.

If I'm reading it right I believe she wants to exit from modernity, complexity, and responsibility.

Republicans are hopping on board with this Brexit issue for one reason: It’s got two sides. Two easy-to-digest, yes-or-no sides. Those sides aren’t perfectly divided on left/right or on conservative/liberal or on Britons’ stances regarding any other issue. But you can rest assured that the Republicans will ride the…

Following by a Northern Ireland vote to join Ireland and a Welsh vote for independence.

At this point I’m really hoping Scotland votes again to GTFO and then the EU fast tracks them back in.

Anything that lets the Scots screw over the British is cool in my book.

I can't really laugh at the stupidity of these. I'm British, so we lost the right to call anything else dumb today. Or ever again. Because we are completely fucked.

Check out the Twilight app. (I know, terrible name association.) But it basically turns off the blue light on your phone within whatever time parameters you set. I have insomnia so I spend about 2-4 hours just reading in the kindle app in bed every night before I can pass out and this app has surprisingly helped!

I don’t know what’s worse, though, morons like that guy or the, what, 28% of the population who didn’t even bother to vote.

And you can bet, those fuckers will be pretty vocal today. “Oh, I didn’t vote because it doesn’t make a difference.”

To quote Donnie Darko, “Go suck a fuck.”

They interviewed a young woman on ITV who said that she was disappointed in the results—-even though SHE’D VOTED TO LEAVE —-but once she got home that day, she thought better of it and she would have voted to stay.

Alright, I’ve had enough of this shit.

Now you know how we Americans feel and why so many are half joking about moving to Canada

It appears that a bunch of Brexiters are under the impression that this vote won’t actually have real consequences on EU citizens living in the UK. The comments on Sadiq Khan’s FB post are eye opening: https://www.facebook.com/sadiqforlondon…
