Britain can’t die like this! For all we – Scottish independentistas – may dislike being “British,” with that identity stamped all over our passports – quite literally for the whole world to see, Britain has been, for the most part, a worthy adversary.

Why the American Left Should See Trump as a Gift

Why is Donald Trump the Best Option for America?
As it turns out he is not only rich, but arrogant, obnoxious, and mind-blowingly stupid. He carries his racism on his sleeve, profits for exploitative developing world labour, and publically mocks people with disabilities. What’s not to truly despise about this man?
