A fitting final act of public service from Jimmy Carter for Trump’s inauguration.

YouGov has just done a poll on whether Brits are happy or unhappy that Trump was elected US president:

Unhappy: 60%
Happy: 16%

They then asked them to say why, in their own words, they felt this way.

Leading "unhappy" reason: He's a criminal
Leading "happy" reason: He's not Harris/Biden/Democrats

Right-wingers are not coming to this platform for any reason other than to be obnoxious trolls to people who just want to be left alone. They are not here for any useful or constructive purpose. They only want to tear down and insult. It’s all they know. It’s how they live.
