In the library. I had to stifle my laughter when I saw that comment from hin! Readdyyy... Setttt...He said Greta needs anger management. At least he deserves a gold medal in projection.
I didn't forget about the "birther" issue, but i did forget Melania didn't counter big mouth's Obama lies.Melania Trump is a complete hypocrite. Starting with the fact that she went along with her clown husband's birther theory, without any regard for the Obama daughters. The whole family is a bunch of hypocrites.
At some point we have to take these people at their word
They do not plan to leave office. Win or lose
huck will state he’s joking but this shit keeps coming up more and more to the point where half the country will support / want it to happen.

Does anyone actually believe that Trump will be alive in 5 years, much less 9? He's a ticking time bomb.
I’m not an expert at all, but while it seems the big issue was Brexit, it also seems that the nationalization of rail, mail, water and electricity, as well as free university and heavy taxes isn’t terribly popular either.
There are only so many parallels that can be drawn — different countries, different histories, different issues — but I think there are some lessons in here.
I can think of one leader of a country who is very happy about this, and it’s neither the orange man nor the man who doesn’t really know how many children he actually has.
Jeremy Corbyn is extra not popular right now because the UK has options and his leadership failed to unite the anti-Brexit vote. The main topic was Brexit, and Corbyn got played by Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party, who only stood elections up in districts where torries weren’t defending. This typically took away some 10-15% of the vote from labor and gave plurality victories to conservatives across the country, hence the massive gains.
So, regarding the massive defeat, it’s because Corbyn did nothing to convince anti-Brexit torries to defect. He effectively supports Brexit.
Yes I would agree that he pulled his party too far left, but that’s because labour is designed to be left of center and the tories are designed to be right of center. People in the UK have options, and Corbyn took away the left of center option. Many of those voters feel more comfortable with their system because they’re not beholden to a leader. They’re beholden to a party. There are left parties... greens etc. who historically have been more relevant than they are now. We don’t have that same luxury, and the UK is losing it too.
Nationalisation of key industries actually has quite a strong popularity throughout the country - but this election result is almost entirely on Brexit and getting it done. The Tories had a shit campaign, had no policies other than Brexit, Boris ran away and hid in fridges and yet.
It has just been a thoroughly warped election where it turns out that the debilitating tremors in the British system will only be further exacerbated, I think it's smashed a lot of my preconceptions about having a fully costed, reasonable social democratic program going into an election.
What Corbyn offered WAS a social democratic platform, which may have only seemed radical when you consider just how far to the right British politics had moved. Nationalisation of rail/mail etc. and no student tuition fees are not radical positions.
It's important to mention that Corbyn has had his character continually assassinated (and he's for the most part, an incredibly mild, agreeable man in character) by the right wing press (and even centrist outlets like The Guardian) ever since he was voted in to the leadership which has contributed to his low popularity. The UK media will do this to any Labour leader even vaguely progressive (they did the same to Ed Miliband, who ran on a pretty pedestrian centrist platform in 2015), unless they grovel to the far right tabloids like Blair did.
I'm not exactly sure how much you can apply this result to the US next year, Brexit really is a bizarre concoction.
