A UK newspaper did a livestream of a head of lettuce, to see which lasted longer: Liz Truss as Prime Minister or the lettuce.

Liz Truss resigned before the lettuce spoiled.

What's really sad is this was one of the only times The Daily Star was relevant as a newspaper, and they've been trying to recapture that since.

No, Daily Star. He can't be the new lettuce because he won't get kicked out and replaced.

I’m gonna need you to do some research on the electoral college before talking shit. The US doesn’t elect the president by popular vote and this particular president has openly admitted to stealing the election. There is no excuse for Brexit except racism.
