Theresa the Appeaser

This is what happens when you cozy up to Trump.  Or perhaps when Russia wasn’t allowed to interfere.  First an unnecessary referendum, now an unnecessary election, and perhaps predictably the result is a political mess and the country left in shambles.  Why Theresa May hasn’t resigned yet is beyond me – she essentially lost the election in losing the majority.  The types of headlines we are getting here: “Britain in Disarray”, “Britain Will Pay for Theresa May’s Election Gamble”, “UK Election Manages to Make Brexit Even Harder”, “Pound Sinks Amid New Variables on Exiting EU” – and these are all just from the New York Times.  The “surprise” result (was it a surprise?  Some of the articles I read implied that May ran a terrible campaign whereas Corbyn did not) has unfortunately taken away some of the headlines here resulting from fired FBI Director James Comey’s testimony and some of his extremely disturbing revelations about Trump’s presidency.  Trump comes across like an untrustworthy The Godfather with people forced to pledge their fealty to him.  The only winners this week – Russia and China.
