They let us know all along what they were doing. Who stopped them?
The red carpet was rolled out. This is another way they win, when democrats decide not to save democracy and act shocked at our anger at them for allowing this.

Dear UK, we all make mistakes. Please feel very welcome to come back home.
I remember the countless claims by Brexiters that the OBR estimate of 4% loss in GDP because of Brexit was plucked out of the air.
Well, what is iiiiiit.....(drum roll)..
4%
Well, what is iiiiiit.....(drum roll)..
4%
🚨🚨If you forgot about the #brexit calamity and misery, OBR has updated its analysis on the implications of #brexit (largely in line with previous estimates). 🧵

How many more warnings do you need, to know a dictatorship is forthcoming?
This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on.
That is part of the crisis we face.

Just as canny as the Mexico / Canada tariff deal.
The Trump-Putin non aggression pact of 2025 will contain a secret clause that assigns Poland to Russian sphere in exchange for US keeping Alaska.

Spot on. Let's get our act together.
Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are
