Yo, there was no legislation for the referendum to be binding.

It’s entirely unclear that that would be the case. The largest opposition party, Labour, is led by a guy who initially seemed like a reasonable for-the-people socialist when he was elected leader in 2015, but it’s become clear that (a) he’s pro-Brexit himself (imo because he hasn't updated his socialist thinking since…

(a) hardly “a” sexual assault; Yoffe is cited as having impugned a number of victims.

I just got gifted a ticket to Douglas! Was it as good as Nanette? God she's amazing.

Yeah, that one is troublesome as hell. It’s basically Whitlam I cite every time I argue for the monarchy to step into the Brexit fray, but I’m not even sure that’s a good idea anyway; more like a “can’t suck more than it does already” notion. I hope I’m still alive when all the secrets around the Whitlam decision are…

Indeed. (I’m an American voter, I just live in the UK.) Not all democracies are structured like the US system, though.

Cool, carry on.

No, it’s a figurehead putting a rubber stamp on a request by the prime minister. The move comes from Johnson and she doesn’t have legal precedent to deny him. That’s not to say I don’t wish she would, but it would throw us into an even larger constitutional crisis than we’re currently experiencing.

She has no legal ability to act on motivation one way or another; she’s a figurehead stamp.

Is that an autocorrect or a joke I'm unaware of?

sinking like south Florida

About ten years ago, I had to renew my Massachusetts driver’s license from here in Scotland. The lady in the DMV gave me this exact level of understanding - didn’t know where Scotland is, didn’t know what the UK is, didn’t understand the sentences “I live overseas” or “I live abroad.” I eventually told her I lived in…

I know. The latest one that set me off is the "hereby." This asshole is so fucking sure he's king.

All of that is indeed upsetting, possibly more so than Spicer's lack of eyes in the photo up there 

Eh, I don’t think it was that complicated. If the theory is correct, I figure he floated his little real estate idea independently before he found out about Obama’s visit. That is, I reckon he was thinking about his own trip to Denmark, thought “lol colonialism yaaaas,” and THEN found out he was about to upstaged by…

Apparently David Frum has floated the idea that the Greenland thing was just an excuse to not have to visit Denmark two weeks before Obama does, because he’s so fucking pissbaby sensitive about crowd sizes. That seems pretty likely to me, even though, well, David Frum.

Fcking hell this is a very real and specific phobia oh god

Does KC just... not remember John McCain at all??? That exact quote directly contributed to sinking him in 2008. I know they don’t like him, but what the hell?

100% certain this chud got nowhere near 45 feet of depth. Wank wank wank.
