Blimus! I was (sort of) joking ;-)

Why on earth would anyone else want their picture taken with him?

Sounds too good to be true - if it's legit, this is an excellent idea. Lets hope they can scale it for industry.

Yes we do but anything with that smeghead Farage is not the way to go.

This is going to be a real problem - because the Daily Mail and such will be screaming that all the problems are still there 6 months later - never mind that they've taken 14 years to put in place. People like my ignorant and racist sister in law, whose answer to the issue of migrants is to 'Just shoot them'. These people really do just open their mouths and let the bile pour out. She'd never vote Labour as they are too common. Unfortunately there are plenty like her about. Totally selfish and only concerned with themselves and showing off to their friends.

We should have let them fall during WW2. We should have listened to our generals solved the problem then.

None of us ever thought it would. Russia is Russia. We should have let them fall in WW2.

'I want to push back on the 50% figure. Most Americans don't even vote. Maybe 50% of "voters" say fuck yeah, but even that isn't accurate since he didn't even win the popular vote.'

Semantics. If he gets in the rest of the world will associate Americans with him. Because he won the election. The fact that he manipulated, rigged, coerced or whatever is neither here nor there.
It's the same way that we tend to associate all Russians with Putin, Chinese with Xi and the British with whoever is in the seat this week.
Just over 50% (of the people that voted) were in favour of Brexit but now that label and it's repercussions are associated with all of us. If everyone that didn't want it had voted, we'd still be in the EU.

This is why it's so important to vote.

And to have honest and accountable politicians, although I may have stepped into fantasy here.
