I forgot that the transfer of power is pretty much immediate - none of this waiting for a couple of months.
Strong female cabinet already, including our first ever female chancellor.

YES! Exactly this. I was so proud to see the Monster Raving Looney Party still fielding candidates - this is what its all about, if you want to run, you pay your money, collect the votes and be counted. The USA has a lot to learn.

One thing you can say watching the UK election, is how civilized and dignified it all was * No election deniers * No legal challengers * Peaceful and respect handover of power * Gracious words from both winners and losers

I am a big fan of the result. Labour didn't so much win, but the Tories lost (thanks largely to Reform). I was glued to the screen all night and it was a fascinating story being told.

Given the decisions of late, I think they no longer have the right to call themselves the "Supreme" court. We need something more suitable, say "TCOTUS" (Traitorous). Open to suggestions.

it's true. i have found myself educating some around me about this, pointing them to the various sites that breaks it down. They were horrified at what they read.

i do not see the problem. we have to register our cars, we even have to get approved by the government before driving one, we have to re-register every year, and no one blinks an eye. If you have nothing to hide with your intended use of a gun, then where is the problem? Own as many as you want

F U C K I N G disgusting I just don't have the words. No single human being should ever had that size of a single payout. This effectively gets him out of the Twitter hole he dug for himself. The golden Telsa, isn't going to be laying too much longer.

Did you grow up in the generation where parents would threaten you with "I'll take my hand off your face!". That never concerned me. It was the putting on at high speed that was never really discussed but caused much second thinking.

I too have a new respect for Liz, especially after reading her book on the whole Jan 6th Committee. We may not agree with some of her policies, but she does support the law of the land with decency and respect.

exciting day on the highway .. following behind a pickup that had a sofa tied down on the top. it was no match for 70mph as it came flying off, making me swerve as it smashed into pieces as the line of traffic behind me snaked in unison to avoid the wrecked furniture.

The biggest con wasn't on the American people; but on Trump himself. Trump started to believe his own output, he must have loved watching the finished polished product, thinking how great and insightful he looks.
