Wreck-it Ralph

By now, we ought to be used to him.  But, we can't.  The guy destroys one good thing after another, and then goes outside the country in order to destroy one good thing after another.

However, we ought to give the guy credit for one thing: Unlike other politicians who say one thing while campaigning and then do something else after winning the elections, this guy's words and rhetoric have not changed one bit.  If at all, he seems to have been further emboldened by his victory, and now he has successfully grabbed the Republican leaders' pussies.

So, when 63 million who care only for coal and fetuses voted for him, they knew exactly what they were voting for.  And for people like me, we know exactly why we opposed him and continue to oppose him.

He is now off to Europe on a demolishing mission. And has been successful so far.  After bombing the life out of NATO, he landed in the UK and promptly started dissing the British Prime Minister, in an exclusive interview with the Sun, which just happens to be a part of the Murdoch media empire that also includes his favorite news channel.

He goes around wrecking everything in sight, yet casually tosses out that May has wrecked Brexit!

May is dealing with “the practicality of Brexit”:

In the past few months, it has become increasingly clear that making a clean break with the E.U.—what the so-called hard-Brexit crowd is demanding—would wreak havoc on Britain’s economy. It would deprive businesses based in the United Kingdom of free access to the European market and to the extensive supply chains that many of them have in the E.U.

Of course, he couldn't care about nuances.  It is the harsh rhetoric without a real plan that always appeals to him.

Which is also why he rubs it in with the comment that Boris would be a great PM.  The Boris who will also do anything for power and fame, and who opportunistically became a Bexit man.

Early in his career, as a Brussels-based correspondent for the Daily Telegraph, he concocted all sorts of scare stories about the E.U. bureaucracy, including one claiming that the E.U. gauleiters were threatening to outlaw English sausages. After switching to politics and getting elected to the House of Commons, in 2001, Johnson made his mark as an articulate and socially liberal Conservative, a platform he used, in 2008, to become a fairly progressive and forward-looking two-term mayor of London. But after returning to Parliament, in 2016, he re-created himself again—this time as a pro-Brexit Little Englander—and in doing so he aligned himself with some of the most reactionary and xenophobic forces in the country.

Wreck-it don, wreck it.

But, we will survive and prosper.
