I think it will become more sensible again once you have stopped
electing deranged narcissistic reality TV stars as President.


Just to clarify: the American people chose Mrs. Clinton to be president
by a majority of three million votes, but we have an uncorrectable
defect in our Constitution that gave the presidency to the ****gibbon.

It is unclear what can be done to solve the US electoral system which
basically requires obscene amounts of money just to be in the game.
You have a de facto plutocracy with ugly populist tendencies that
pretends superficially to be "democratic" but only when it suits them.


The answer is most likely that nothing can be done. As Mr. Peterson
said, "failed (or failing) nation."

It gives me no pleasure to note that you also live in a failed or
failing state. No pleasure because it is my Motherland as well and I
still have family there (Home Counties, Northumberland, Scotland).


It hasn't failed yet although time is running out and the Brexit clock
is still ticking. I'll let you know what it is like post 29/3 11pm.

My guess is that there will be food shortages and total road gridlock in
the region around Dover and the Channel ports. I gather Failing Grayling
has become something of a US celebrity (but for all the wrong reasons).

The contract he awarded to the British ferry company with no ferries and
no track record of running any facilities really took the biscuit. But
it was only the last in a long line of his truly unbelievable cock ups.
