Exactly ALL of this. We are screwed.
Economics experts sum up the terrifying problem of Brexit in 125 seconds

"The EU 27 says, 'Were a club, here are our rules, you tell us how many of the rules youre prepared to accept, and well kind of tell you where in the clubhouse you can go.'
That is not the British conception of what this is at all. They sort of see it as a negotiation between two equal parties.
But the British government is not interested in telling people, You know, this thing that 52 per cent of you said that you wanted, here are the range of options: theres less good and then theres very, very bad.
They havent actually done a lot of macroeconomic modelling of this, almost, like, deliberately.
Like, We dont want to know! Because leaving is going to be great, and its what people voted for, so lets not spend government money on analysis that suggests that maybe people got it wrong.

And for the people that voted to leave, they are terrified because this is something theyve been fighting to achieve for almost 40 years. Its a generational struggle. Theyve now won, and theyre absolutely terrified''

He may have a point....after all every time I see his smug mug I want to punch his lights out...does that mean I am a triggered hateful snowflake?!?!?! You do know that this will fly of the shelves right? The cult of Trump will lap up this no doubt intellectually lightweight, factually bereft bollocks...

Yeah, but the cult don't care!
Joe Scarborough Blasts Trump Over 'Squad' Attacks: He's 'Trashed the United States of America for...
...40 years!
Trump defended his recent attacks on the Squad of Democratic Congresswomen, saying when they call our country garbage, think of that. Thats worse than deplorable. Well, they call our country garbage, I dont care about politics.
Ignoring the fact that none of the elected officials ever called the nation garbage Scarborough lit in with first of all, that was a lie. Hes a liar. Hes lied there. But this is a guy that called America quote, crippled. His inaugural speech.
It was not ask not what you can do for your country, it was American carnage,' Scarborough added, before listing specifics.
Talking about the crime, despite the fact that crime was at a 50-year low. Talking about that we dont even have borders, despite the fact that illegal crossings under Barack Obama, 50 year low. They have skyrocketed up under Donald Trump. He said the American dream was dead. He said we were stupid. He said all of our leaders were stupid. This is a man whose entire adult life has trashed the United States of America for 40 years.

Just to be clear this orange wanker is ALL of this:
Caging children is okay
Raping teenagers is okay
Enshrining white supremacy is okay
Threatening the world is okay
Calling countries shit hole countries is okay
Grab them by the pussy is okay
Telling BAME democrats to go back to where they came from is okay
Calling Mexicans rapists is okay
And Trump using the word Goddamn is the problem?
They are FAKE
Goddamn It, The Religious Right Are Hideous...
Despite Trumps Racist Rally, Some Christians Are Just Upset He Said GoddamnFor some people, that was the bridge too far.
West Virginia State Sen. Paul Hardesty, a self-described conservative Democrat and 2016 Trump supporter, sent a letter to Trump calling him out on the language:
I am, however, appalled by the fact that you chose to use the Lords name in vain on two separate occasions, when you went off the prompter during your speech. There is NO place in society anywhere, anyplace and at anytime where that type of language should be used or handled. Your comments were not presidential. I know in my heart that you are better than that.

They put their right foot in...and shake it all about
The right wing hokey cokey goes something like this...
They put their right foot in - He didn't say that!
They take their right foot out - He said it but it's not racist!
They put their right foot in - He said it and it's racist, but Democrats do the same thing, even worse!
And shake it all around - Send her back!
They do the hokey cokey then
Turn it all around - And Start it all over again!
Thats what its all about
