#1 Down goes the Poseur.

So Macron's party has been bitchslapped, Johnson's government is about to fall, Scholz's Germany is facing ruin, and Biden's party is about to lose control of Congress.

What's all this then?

Just a month or two ago we were told it was Russia that was going to collapse and that "the West is united" in facing down Russia. That Ukraine was winning the war. That "the ruble will be rubble" and that Putin was ill, deranged, deluded, disappeared or about to be disappeared in a putsch and blah blah blah.

All of it lies, bullshit, nonsense. All of it.

#2 And the GOP won't do anything purposeful.

Oh, and let's not forget Justin ~~Castro~~ Trudeau. Then again, he was just recently voted in, more or less, so Canada get what it voted for (unless those election results were of dubious origin, too).

#3 He's never been a conservative....maybe they can reincarnate Maggie and get a real conservative.

#4 The "I'm a conservative. Really!" scam is almost all burned down now.

Hope the RINOs are next.

#5 We already have a TV show (Servant of the People) involving a comedian who becomes president of an eastern european country. In a perfectly symmetrical world, Boris would go on to a career in stand-up comedy.

Some would argue this has already happened.

#6 Glad you named the show; my first thought was CNN.

Not sure who else could have got Brexit along, and perhaps some more locals could help with other good deeds, but his hard work to be on the starting eleven for playing Covid was embarrassing for freedom. Energy policy sucks too, "We're going to give you tax money to help you pay for your overtaxed electricity."

Does Britain have a person/policy on the bench who can start pulling cocks out of chickens, or are we doomed for a British Whitmer but with better teeth?
