Brexit

It happened!

The United Kingdom now has two years to negotiate the terms of its exit from the European Union. This is definitely uncharted territory, so the process in and of itself will be worth watching, to say nothing of what happens when the U.K. is finally on its own.

On a lighter note, this historic event has resulted in delusions of grandeur here in the U.S.





Oh yeah, and Thursday was definitely not a good day for the White House's current occupant. First the lower court ruling which overturned his executive amnesty plan was upheld due to a 4-4 deadlock at the U.S. Supreme Court. Then his preferred outcome in the U.K. didn't come to fruition.



Yes, it's safe to say that the "Leave" contingency "headed out on the tiles*" after the referendum was officially called!!





*American translation: To go out for the night to have a good time. To party.
