@TucsonSentinel He might want to outlaw Irish citizens too, but I think they are protected by the Constitution.

US and UK politics, religion 

@TucsonSentinel From my vantage point on this side of the pond, there seems to be precious little separation between church and state in the US as it is

To be fair, the Church of England is represented in our undemocratic second chamber, which really needs to be abolished

But most of the Christian influence on government in the UK seems to come from funding by the US Christian right

Too rapidly.

@TucsonSentinel Sorry, this is wholly un-American, so he can F right off.

Hard pass.

@TucsonSentinel Really ties the room together as far as Speaker Johnson is concerned, doesn't it?
