We peons can avoid being triggered that Time doesn’t Always make us Person of the Year 
Now, this is interesting. 
Fox News anchors can be trusted to admit the obvious.
Michael Muldowney:
The LMPSD (Liberal-Marxist-Progressive-Socialist-Democrat) majority in the House of Representatives have set themselves on an apparently ineluctable course to impeachment on transparently political grounds. They know it, and we know it. What they fail to comprehend is that they are crossing the Rubicon and have started down a road that will explode our entire political landscape, possibly forever. These radical leftists are forswearing faith and allegiance to the Constitution to indulge in irrational hatred.
In a democratic society, the losing side has a duty to be a “loyal opposition.” Our way of government cannot exist without loyalty to the system of governance. The losing side cannot “resist” our elected leaders as if they were an occupying power. The willingness of the losing party to accept electoral outcomes is the foundation of democracy. Without adherence to that social contract, there can be no democracy.
I was loyal to Obama as president despite the great evils and errors he brought about. The House Democrats have no such loyalty to our current elected president. Should they persist in their madness, they will upset the delicate balance of democracy. The consequences will be unforeseen and enormous. Some will see that statement as overly dramatic; what they fail to see is that the Democrats are abandoning the Constitution that is the foundation of our national existence. That is a threat to our entire system of government and to the republic as we know it.
It would be easy to dismiss the LMPSDs as childish, immature, and hateful, but that will not stop them from embarking on this course of action that is so damaging to our republic.
Liberals rush in where angels fear to tread. They know not what they do.
Congrats, President Trump:
Surely we could add a C for Liberal-Marxist-Progressive-Socialist-Commie-Democrats
So shocking!! Who could have anticipated this?? Marxists not accepting our Constitution, so surprising!

What’s new in the BBC today, besides the conservative UK election results?
Did the BBC put a word in quotes?

Did the BBC put a word in quotes?
And your point is?
But I’ll quote the BBC:
BBC: While the main script may be clear, beneath the surface unpredictability is the only predictable result.
Hedging their bet?
Gotta love the tolerant, sympathetic Left:

Well they accomplished something - the frightened little snowflakes will not be stirred up on buses from now on - they have shut down the free speech of MAGA hat wearing, much like their parents are shutting down free speech on campuses and elsewhere. Shame.
Big trade deal now possible with U.K.! Way to go DT.
“Britain and the United States will now be free to strike a massive new Trade Deal after BREXIT. This deal has the potential to be far bigger and more lucrative than any deal that could be made with the EU,” he added.
“Celebrate Boris!”
Good for us, or the UK? Usually it can’t be both…
I wonder what the Muppet celebrities, would say about this thread?
That the BBC put a word in quotes. It’s “self-evident”. 
Speaking of the UK. With the conservative election landslide, guess what? The BBC used AI to generate stories. Could Z-Hell (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) be hiding, around the corner?
And on another front!
Now back to contemplating AI Zombies.
Oh, lest I forget! Trump and NATO!
Really, Gabe?
I suppose there’s a damp squib in every box. 
Very confused by your response Norm.
From:
COMMON A damp squib is something which is much less impressive or exciting than it was expected to be. As a rebellion, it was something of a damp squib. The whole campaign turned out to be a damp squib. Note: A squib is a small firework. A damp squib would not go off properly, and so it would be a disappointment.
You can describe something such as an event or a performance as a damp squib when it is expected to be interesting, exciting, or impressive, but fails to be any of these things.

The all-party meeting was a damp squib.
Perhaps this entire thread, is a “damp squib”?
But I’ve seen in this thread, at the opposite end of the metaphorical spectrum, a few “diamonds in the rough.”

I suppose I should confess, Gabe. 
I was suggesting that you are the damp squib.
As I’ve stated previously in this thread, I was hoping Johnson would win because the renewal of the UK/US partnership would be a very positive outcome for both countries. Admittedly, I’m not American, but I think it far more likely that you will find the relationship to be far more positive than negative. (I am presuming you are American! 
)
At opposite ends of the metaphorical spectrum, the “damp squib” and “diamond in the rough” metaphors can be looked at through this formula for predicting happiness:
Happiness = Reality/Expectations.
A “damp squib” has high expectations but a low reality of those expectations being met, giving a low level of happiness. A “diamond in the rough” has low expectations but a high reality of those expectations being met or, more commonly, even surpassed, giving a high level of happiness.
In a trade deal both sides can win particularly if they are after different things, like China wants Tariffs reduced and Trump wants more exports to China.
