Presumably because they'll just send someone worse, so the only thing expelling him would accomplish is to provoke even more stupid rage and bullshit from Trump.

I wish the media would just ignore this guy's blatherings completely.

    Because this misses the third frame, where Macron responds "oops, we're completely out of money now because you refused to accept raised taxes and refused to accept reduced expenditures. So you will work until you die because there's no old age pension at all any more."

    France is kind of screwed.

    The hivemind, aka a social media bubble.

    Pretty sure most users of Linux are not part of that and are going to keep on using Linux.

    Edit: looks like the Fediverse instance this community is running on is using tainted code by the definitions used in your link. Will this ship also be jumped?

    I think we are fucked because to me this indicates this province is continuing to vote with 0 information on gut feeling and bigotry which means we are staring down the barrel of more of this kind of politics in the future

    Welcome to democracy. The worst form of government aside from all the others.

    Where do you expect to find a place where the people vote on a basis other than gut feeling?

    Alberta basically just showed canada they are fine with the UCP and likely to vote them in again

    Do you have a basis for this other than gut feeling? Current projections on 388 have the UCP ahead by a single seat, and of course that's based on polling that came out before the referendum. I think calling a UCP victory in the next election "likely" is not supported by the data.

    The other 9 questions are just as stupid, they just didn't get as much press. Most of them were worded so poorly that they could be interpreted however you liked and most of those interpretations aren't constitutional, so it's a meaningless result.

    And all of this was a non-binding referendum anyway. The government can do whatever it wants with the results, as it always could.

    We're not "fucked", we're just sick of this waste of time and money.

    No, Alberta isn't trying to seceed. Our quisling premier tried rabble-rousing with a referendum on whether to have a referendum to try to seceed and the separatists got crushed at the polls.
