British PM Theresa May's Brexit deal has been rejected by 230 votes

Who didn't see this coming? Even the people who were pushing for Brexit had no idea how it was supposed to work.

This whole thing is a never ending cluster skreeonk, to be polite. There should have been a complete plan in place, that was ready to go after the referendum. I like everyone else in the UK, is skreeonking sick of it and want it to be over and done.

Interesting. This is probably why we try to consolidate so many things into every bill in the U.S.- because voting to do a thing, being locked into, and then being stuck with further votes to figure out how is kind of a mess.

As opposed to the U.S., where we focus on making every bill a complete package including all lose ends that also touches on three other unrelated items and makes them into law, too; hence our all-or-nothing bills frequently get shot down where a simpler version might have passed, and our government ends up shut down for more of the year than it's open... which is kind of a mess.

An Orca would actually make short work of that Great White. They've been known to utterly crush great whites. They basically tear out their livers and let the sharks bleed to death. Come to think of it, Orcas are actually larger as well.

As protests sweep Venezuela, the US, Canada, Brazil and a number of American nations declare the regime of Nicolas Maduro illegitimate and back Juan Guaido as president

Big, but potentially dangerous. The Venezuelan military and security services have traditionally sided with Maduro, and we could see a crackdown soon

I can't help but wonder when the military turns on Maduro. He doesn't have the luxury of giving Venezuela the good ol' days when his old boss, Hugo Chavez, did. I think this has the potential to be the South American version of Romania back in '89 when EVERYBODY turned against Ceacesceu.

Oh, and new sexual misconduct accusations have been leveled against Bryan Singer.
