     Thx!

     “This was the greatest election ever, never before did so many people vote for the winner! Did you see me at the inauguration … it was great, such a big, big crowd … never before had there been so many people come to the National Mall … 1,5 million came to the swearing in ceremony … biggest audience ever!”

     The 21st century of the biggest liars in the White House … from Tony Blair, Iraq War, George Bush and continues through the proces of democracy by revolutions to the election of Donald Trump. I don’t fear Trump, I fear the people backing him and the vast nation of voters who seem to like him and what he improvises and sells as leadership. The Wild West and snake oil all over.

   The mastery of the Tories … can you imagine former London mayor Boris Johnson doing the act of a Churchill statesman. In Shakespearean style of the old foxes at Westminster.

   Tories’ ‘imperial vision’ for post-Brexit trade branded disruptive and deluded | The Guardian |

   The head of the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of nations has ruled out a free trade deal with the UK until at least six years after Brexit and taken a sideswipe at the idea of a new British trade empire.

   The ACP chief, Dr Patrick Gomes, condemned “reactionary” Whitehall talk of a second era of British colonialism – dubbed “Empire 2.0” – and poured scorn on the government’s trade strategy.

   A six-year delay to any post-Brexit deal would be a bitter setback to the government, which had hoped to use the 2018 Commonwealth summit in London as a springboard for closer trade ties with Anglophone states such as South Africa, Nigeria and Jamaica.

   Unfortunately for the 16 yr old Margaret Lee, her mom came looking for her handing out flyers in the shopping district of The Hague. Today she was located in the small town of Zwolle and will be reunited with her mom. Listening to the interview with Mrs. Lee, Margaret will now be safely kept in the home in Clarksville, Tennessee… the land of the free.  😉

   The fears from her mom:

   • She is in harms way
   • It’s a foreign country
   • She doesn’t speak the local language.

   Get out of the house Mrs. Lee and you would have known the Dutch are quite hospitable, more secure, less violence and danger … and 100% of the Dutch do speak English.
