How goddamn divorced from reality do you have to be to look at the clusterfuck going on in Britain right now and think, "yes, this was a great result for them".

The typical response to this is "the markets will adjust themselves with time, and the long-term benefits of leaving the EU (fewer immigrants, and, uh, sovereignty?) outweigh the short-term economic losses."

Certain parts of America will continue to cheer Brexit until they forget about it in a few weeks and treat this strange 2008 recession that came out of nowhere as Hillary's fault for winning the presidency.

Hah! I wish.

"In the name of God, go!" is the cap of Oliver Cromwell's big gently caress-off speech to the Long Parliament, a body which had just dissolved itself and was proceeding to try and find ways to stay in power. Cromwell is kind of a big deal in the history of the evolution of the modern British state; there's a statue of him literally right next to Westminister, you could throw a ball underhanded from the windows and hit him in the head. It was ALSO repeated to Neville Chamberlain in the catastrophic meeting that led to him resigning in favor of Winston Churchill. It's KIND of an important repeating phrase in British history and I'm almost happier Cameron hosed it up, because GOD knows this scenario doesn't deserve it and won't be remembered remotely in the same vein as those two, if anyone remembers it at all.

I'm impressed, this is actually an accurate usage of the term "lame duck" :golfclap:

Well, almost -- both Cameron and Corbyn have had the ends of their terms declared and are running out the clock (or I think so in Corbyn's case; I don't know exactly what the no-confidence vote signifies), but neither has had a successor named yet. Still pretty good, and certainly better than the usual usage you tend to see (meaning "politician whom I personally dislike")

I believe those are the medically-recommended sides for crutches to be on. They want the crutch to touch down at the same time as the wounded leg, so it can provide some support and reduce the load on the injury.

What alternate universe does he live in where all the groups he hates automatically agree on something like this even if it has nothing to do with them? I get that he's a homophobe, racist, anti-environment idiot running his congregation like his personal cult, but at least bitch about something that actually happened.

He's making a joke about the reaction to the Orlando shooting because to him both that and the bombing in Turkey are clearly manifestations of Islamist violence (and nothing else). You can take issues with that, or say it's a badly made joke, but you might as well complain that the stuff in Bad Reporter didn't literally happen.

You're supposed to lean on the crutch, and also to avoid putting too much weight on the wounded leg. So the crutch has got to be on the side of the healthy leg, so that you don't lean on the side of the broken leg.

Oct 21, 2008

Well they didn't look like walking casts, so I assumed they weren't supposed to be touching the ground at all and the crutch would be what's holding them up on that side instead of that leg :shrug:

I meant claiming that all these groups blamed it on Republicans, but as you pointed out it's all the same to this guy, so I guess I works out.
