Where do we even start? OK, so the President has committed a ton a crimes.
Everyone knows this by now, and Trump has two paths he can take. One is to try and minimize the damage, lay low for a while, let calmer voices take the center stage… yeah let’s just stop with this. The only path he’s capable of taking is the one with the big sign that says MOAR CRIMES THIS WAY. He’s even cutting out the middleman, and just doing the treason on live TV.

Johnson gets to avoid trouble over his personal corruption (because no one else wants to be PM during this shitstorm) and the ultimate goal of a hard Brexit moves closer to reality. Win?

Furthermore, those countries also have important things happening in them, under-reported by the English-language media and under-known about by me. A brief mention of two big things to know about: Protests against Beijing continue in Hong Kong, and protests against the government in Iraq have turned violent.

So please talk about all these public happenings and more in the comments below. No threats against Mayor McSquirrel or anyone else please, because duh. Have a good weekend!
