This is a pretty interesting and darkly humorous article about the relationship that has developed between dear leader Drumpf and British Prime Minister Teresa May since America lost it's collective fucking mind and elected a pussy-grabbing, serial lying, double-dealing, backstabbing, two-penny con man and fascism fetishist to be the nation's "leader."
This snippet caught The Gadfly's cranky old, discerning eye:
In one phone conversation during 2017, Trump complained to May over the criticism he’d been getting in British newspapers. Amid warnings that Trump would face protests in the streets when he arrived, he told the prime minister he would not be coming to the U.K. until she could promise him a warm welcome.

O M F G !!
Trump actually whined to - probably America's most important - allied leader - that he was not going to go and visit their country - UNLESS... SNIFF...-- UNLESS... - that leader could - PROMISE... SNIFF... -- PROMISE... - he, Donald Trump, that her people would give him a - WARM... -- WARM... - welcome.
And as that was the U.K., America's staunchest ally, that Trump was behaving like a whiny brat to and making demands for them to force their people to be nice to him, The Gadfly simply cannot, nor does not want to imagine what kind of bitchy simpering he was doing with the other allied leaders.
Do any of you conservatives truly understand just how much damage Trump and his Traveling Poo-Flinging Monkey Show are doing to the United States of America's prestige and reputation around the world - not just among our democratic allies -- but also with developing democracies? This country is supposed to be the hopeful beacon of democracy to the world, but we are steadily devolving in to hybrid amalgam of the early 1900's robber baron era America, pre-World War II Germany and Putin's current Russia, of which nothing good will ever come of for We The People.
Our long standing allies and these developing democracies are looking to America to be the champion of democratic values and societal benevolence and justice and fairness and human rights and economic prosperity for all and all that other (mostly bullshit right now) American Dream stuff.
And then Supreme Emperor Trump and his hideous entourage of political bloodsuckers and alt-right sycophants came along.
And now our allies and these emerging democracies are second guessing their associations with America. How can that be a good thing for Americans and our national security - to have our allies reassessing their loyalty to us? How can it be in our national interest to have emerging democracies see what is going on in this country right now and having them to question the wisdom of forging trade and security alliances with us?? Can one fucking conservative coherently and truthfully answer those goddam questions without a stupid fucking smirk on their face??
It doesn't have to be this way. There's another choice. It's called sanity.
However -- if modern-day conservatism is so dutifully intent on deluding it's movement into ambling blindly into fringe political oblivion under Trump's banner, then The Gadfly, being quite the genial fellow, is only all too willing and happy to assist them on their cathartic journey.
