A petition to stop the U.K. parliament from being suspended has now gathered 1,300,000+ signatures
Any petition presented to the UK Parliament with a minimum of 100,000 signatures must be considered for debate and action. Wouldn’t that be a pleasant idea to consider in the GOUSA? Our do-nothing Congress-critters might be forced into something beyond country club manners.

The showdown between the government and opponents of a no-deal Brexit will continue later as Labour and other opposition parties seek to pass a bill requesting a further delay if there is no deal by 19 October.
A total of 21 Tories defied the PM on Tuesday to vote with the opposition as Mr Johnson suffered his first Commons defeat as prime minister by a margin of 328 votes to 301.
If the Brexit delay bill passes later on and moves to the Lords, as is expected, Mr Johnson will push for an immediate vote on an early general election.
Hours before the vote on Tuesday, the government had already lost its working majority when Tory MP Phillip Lee defected to the Liberal Democrats.

Wait till dumbass trump sees this on TV. [No way he’d be reading it] He’ll have a new tactic to threaten dissident Republicans with.
“Trump 2020 Is Purging the G.O.P. Primary of Dissidents : The president’s campaign is culling party members at multiple levels to ensure next year’s Republican convention “is a television commercial for the president for an audience of 300 million.”” (Vanity Fair Feb 2019) https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/02/trump-2020-republican-party-purge-delegates
“The report from academic think tank, The U.K. in a Changing Europe, based out of King’s College London, contends that once the U.K. is out of the Article 50 framework, the legal mechanism which triggered the departure process, securing new terms with the bloc will become much harder and more prolonged.
This is because all 27 member states’ national and sub-national parliaments would need to ratify any deal, and the EU would be unlikely to begin negotiating a future relationship until major issues with the current withdrawal agreement have been resolved.
The EU could also withdraw unilateral mitigations on logistical issues such as road or air transport which have been put in place during the Article 50 negotiation process, should Britain refuse to pay a £39 billion ($46.9 billion) divorce bill associated with leaving the bloc.” https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/04/no-deal-brexit-could-be-the-end-of-the-beginning-for-the-uk.html
