What Do I Think About the Situation?
You'll be surprised why it has taken me this long to comment on English politics, on this snap election/general election whatever you call it these days. To be honest my head has been all over the place and I wanted to see where it was going to go. May thought she was going to remain in power because she thought everyone was going to vote for her; may I point out how many u-turns she made, how many mistakes she made, how many people have left her party since the election, how many insults she gave to the whole country and most importantly just how dangerously out of control she's getting.

In American history, we haven’t seen a president like Donald Trump. He is an arrogant, bombastic, and even a buffoon, if you will, type of president.

I know that's part of the game, and may the best liar win, but I think this goes deeper than that.

The War on One Word
The "N" word. Oh yes we are going there. Why? Because it seems the lessons throughout the years need repeating. The "N" word was created to make black people feel bad about being black. The derogatory term created by slave masters to make blacks feel inferior. Most people on this earth have heard many derogatory words hurled at them and they elicit truly visceral reactions. 2017 introduced us to the word triggered wherein people react so violently to words being spoken that it has become almost a joke. Everyone seems to have their feelings hurt about something so now everyone is "triggered".

The Deadliest Tweet
Forget about "the Russian thing" for just a moment. Although the subject matter here is derived from the cloud that revolves around the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, there is now even bigger cause of concern due to the President's reaction to circumstances he alone is responsible for.
