Whelp....Britain and the US continue to mimic each other in their avid descent into clown show territory. Boris Johnson is not as manifestly stupid as Donald Trump, but his elevation to PM is a demonstration that the Conservative Party - once lauded for its pragmatism on issues of class - has gone full Cheese Submarine. Johnson combines all the thinks-he's-clever smarm of David Cameron without any of the intelligence or ability. Both men are cynical about Brexit, but Johnson seems to clearly believe his own bullshit.
Yesterday, I linked to Elizabeth Warren's bearish take on the economy. One real warning shot could be a hard Brexit.
Buckle up. The world is getting stupider and meaner.
And we had a hard time believing that was possible.
