So this just happened. And the more I try to find out why, the less sense it makes:

Every time British politics somehow becomes international news, it makes me glad George Washington kicked their asses. Our leaders are bad enough already. Can you imagine being subject to theirs?

The one thing I will say for the Brits is that their prime ministers are a lot more disposable than our presidents. Once those limeys get sick of having you in power, they push you right out. You might last 10 years, or just two or three. Then you’re just gone and forgotten, with no tears. Everybody gets on with it. Don’t go away mad, just go away.

We Yanks could learn a lesson from that. Politicians are not our friends, and we owe them nothing. It’s never too late to admit a mistake.

I mean, can you imagine if Boris Johnson’s son was a whore-hopping crackhead making millions off his family name? His own party would’ve given him the boot years ago.
