Fine with me as long as Scotland gets to secede and take Britain’s place in the EU.

Literally every resident of New York City who has an online presence warned the rest of the country about Trump before he was elected. Unfortunately “I told you so” offers no comfort here... :(

Yes

Well, supporters are so rabidly anti-immigration that they are willing to burn their whole economy down to keep out the dark-skinned. Your definition of “racist” may vary, of course.

didn’t the EU basically say... no more extensions?

these poor people are driving that country right off a cliff.


I agree. I have a feeling an impromptu election could possibly see brexit disappear.

The root of Brexit is racism, pure and simple. It’s mildly reassuring to see that at least one country can’t practice its racism totally unimpeded, unlike another one on the other side of the ocean.

Those boards are scary fast

I do a lot of paved trail biking with my kids and I almost never see an electric skate boarders with a helmet. They’re usually wearing a back pack too, which will make that face plant even worse. Although before being a parent I too was an invincible bike/skateboard rider... Make helmets cool again. 

And be sure to actually strap them on properly! An unstrapped helmet is just an ugly hat

Shame to hear of his passing.

Did you just hear that? That crack that echoed like a gunshot through the mountains, scattering the birds?

Oh, I think different parts of his coalition voted based on different reasons. He certainly got the religious/Evangelical vote based on abortion. He got the educated white people vote based on an assumed tax benefit. Racism was the undertone to all of it.

That’s the excuse, anyway.  

Trump’s next book will be How to Make a Million Dollars. First step: inherit 10 Million Dollars. 

He wants to do another Freddy movie.. he’s in his 70s.. respect.

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

If you really want an exercise in futility, try getting Trump to understand that England, Scotland and Wales are on the island of Great Britain, while Ireland and Northern Ireland are on the island of Ireland. Two completely different islands! 

Yeah, Trump hasn’t ever been worth even $1 billion. He basically inherited about $413 million and screwed it all away. Even Kushner said once that Trump “didn’t have a lot of cash.” If not for Russian “investors” he’d be broke. 

Hard to be out of pocket $3-$5B when you aren’t even worth that much. Couch cushion money for someone like Bezos, however. (I wonder if he’s been trying to figure how he could dump Melania and marry Bezos’s ex since she’s now got at least 30 times his own actual worth...and she’s planning on giving most of it away.)
