Lmfao what?

Actually, you know what, that’s a great idea orangeboi. Let’s go for it.

To the Brits: considering this is basically us coming back to you hat in hand, I think it’d be quite reasonable to exact some sort of penance from us. Perhaps we could surrender our President to the King’s tender mercies? Hell, you can just take the whole Republican Party if you want to make some old-school object-examples of what the appropriate treatment of fascists is.

When I read it earlier I burst out laughing

Throw in a few crates of tea to replace the ones lost in that unfortunate boating accident and we'll consider it.

I will find a way to supply you with tea thoroughly for the rest of your natural life if you take that orange fuck off our hands

Shit I'd buy the tea myself to make that deal happen.
