He can’t. He’s South African.

Musk will probably arrange for South Africa to become the 51st state so he can get the job.

It's done. America deserves this. The rest of the world doesn't. I'm so sorry

The whole world tends to vote wirh their pockets in very large numbers, they are also a number that are sick to death of your standard bullshitting politicians. Its not surprising that as a species riddled with self interested cunts we do cuntish things.
Not all Americans deserve this and that applies elsewhere but fucking loads do.

The UK has to start building ties with more moderate, stable countries, start realigning ourselves with Europe.

But don't act like this isn't happening in Europe too. It's only a year since Geert Wilders won the Dutch election in arguably the most liberal and prosperous country that isn't a tax haven or oil rich. Farage's continuing popularity in the UK. Viktor Orban in Hungary. The far right party winning a majority in Austria, a country that regularly tops standards of living polls. And we're starting to see the far right rising even in places you wouldn't associate it with like Ireland. The difference between the US and UK and the rest though is that we have a very much winner-takes-all approach, so even though the far right will always be a minority, they can actually get into significant positions of power more easily than in most European countries, where the PR style of voting means they're forced to work with other parties to get any power.

Normally I'd be offended but I can't even say anything right now

50% of my countrymen disgust me. At least.

51.2%

Keep believing mate. It might work eventually

I called the race ages ago. Check it.

As for MSNBC being anything close to FAUX News is a joke. Yes, they support different sides, but seriously…give it a rest.

Still couldn’t get the job.

What do all of those countries have in common?

So many of you fearing the worst with Trump becoming president again. It’s not like everything is fine with world as it currently is.

You could make the same argument about an impending hurricane.

Maybe the Dem's should look closer to home as to why they lost to this ****, again!
