A few daft things, because... *hands*

BRITAIN: Brexit is the stupidest, most self-destructive act a country could undertake.
USA: Hold my beer.

Or, slightly longer:

Relieved Britain no longer biggest f**k-up of 2016
(“I mean end of the world, obviously, but every cloud.”)

Although sadly:

The Winchester now full
(This would be a Shaun of the Dead joke)

I would also like to make a recommendation:


Kim Kardashian Saves The World (After President Trump Nearly Ends It)
The Kindle Edition (which my link goes to) is free! Under the cut, a taster:

The rise of America’s “Muslim Militias” made it impossible to close down any mosques. Inspired by the Ammon-Bundy-led siege of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon in 2016, these heavily armed Muslims had occupied prominent mosques around the country vowing to fight to the death any government forces that tried to expel them and deny them the all-American right to practice their religion. Conservatives were divided about how to treat the “Muslim Militias,” with many Constitutional purists supporting their rights as Americans, while a majority of Tea Partiers, stirred up by former Presidential candidate Ted Cruz, were now calling for the carpet-bombing of occupied mosques until the US streets on which they had been built “glowed in the dark.”

At the same time, President Trump had to navigate the rise of the “Black Lives Open-Carry” movement—an outgrowth of Black Lives Matter — which was now terrifying white communities around the country. Again, conservatives had a hard time arguing against BLOC on its merits, seeing as it was simply doing in reverse what the predominantly white Open Carry movement had been doing in minority communities for years. Despite that, support for stricter gun control was now surging among Republican voters.

As if the Muslim Militias and Black Lives Open Carry weren’t causing Trump enough headaches, a new boy band called XO Mexico had electrified the globe—and was building support for the plight of the 12 million undocumented immigrants Trump had promised to deport. Propelled by the marketing genius of Simon Cowell, XO Mexico’s first hit song, a cover of the Everly Brothers classic “All I Have to Do Is Dream,” had been downloaded more than fifty million times. Its accompanying video, which showed families torn apart as a dictatorial President used armed force to round up illegal immigrants and put them on trains to Mexico, had been viewed more than five billion times. As a result, support for the nearly two million youth who had grown up in America to undocumented parents was now almost universal. XO Mexico’s follow-up single — an updated version of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall,” accompanied by an equally poignant video, had united liberals and Evangelical Christians in a new movement to show compassion to the plight of hardworking immigrant families.

At the very least - give us a boy band called XO Mexico? And any time Kim Kardashian feels like saving the world, I'll be happy. And apparently Kanye promised to run in 2020 if Trump won.

It's possible I have not yet processed today's news. Anyway, my final item right now is this (slightly out of date, should be Theresa May for Prime Minister):

To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
In light of your immediate failure to financially manage yourselves and also in recent years your tendency to elect incompetent Presidents of the USA and therefore not able to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

ETA: Well, damn:

How do you solve a problem like Donald Trump? ‘We could shoot him’ says Sir David Attenborough
Of course, that would just leave you with Mike Pence... Still bad, but less likely to start World War 3.

You know things are serious when DAVID ATTENBOROUGH is advocating shooting someone. O_o

And Pence is way smarter than Trump so more scary for me.

[elisi]

He's surprisingly hardcore. Guess you don't get to 90 without learning a thing or two...

And yeah, the Trump/Pence conundrum. Like Bush/Cheney. How to ensure no one shoots the president? Make the vice president worse.
