  1. As usual, you don't get it. She needs to be confirmed by the European Parliament, the members of which were all recently elected by popular vote. They may very well reject her. To instill some perspective into this, the UK is about to select a new PM. Only members of the Conservative Party have a vote.

  3. Wow, you're clearly a Trump disciple.
