I have to say, as an outside observer, that I find it incredible that the Republicans are still so strong in the USA and that the Democrats have failed so lamentably to capitalise on the cock-ups of the current administration.
Is it because Amos's insane cousins are hosting the dinner party, or are the Democrats incapable of organising themselves? Or is there really such a paucity of debate in the mass media that the majority doesn't actually know what crimes are being committed in its name?
Whatever the truth, it's worrying for us outside the USA. I know plenty of decent, intelligent and honourable Americans (in fact all those I know are bloody excellent), and yet as a country the USA would seem to be the biggest threat to our security (climatically, militarily, morally, economically and in almost every way) that there is.
