What's really frustrating about Liz Truss is she is too stupid to understand how stupid she is. If she could wrap her head around that, she might just shut up and we'd never have to hear from her again.

    let's see you become britain's second female prime minister.

    EDIT : OK, I guess

    1. The joke that she was already britain's nth female prime minister didn't go well
    2. Theresa May was britain's second female prime minister, truss was the third
    3. to be clear, she achieved nothing and to hell with her.

    the joke is "oh, you think you're so much better than her? Let's see you achieve the only achievement she has (becoming the third female british prime minister) when you can't become the third of anything AGAIN.

    I guess it all got fumbled and was shit to begin with.

    Probably US Defaultism didn't help. heh. I watch panelshows so I know a little more news than the average, but it still whooshed me.

    I think it wasn't so much poorly done as just didn't land quite well AND once anything gets a downvote or two, it snowballs. heh.

    Thank you for explaining. I may not be falling down laughing, but I am quite amused. <3
