I live in the states in Kentucky, and a southern hillbilly originally from Tennessee. Got to travel on business once to Europe (Germany, near Lake Constance) and really enjoyed it.

I think as a diversion from our current train wreck congress and administration, I really enjoy reading about European politics, and particularly GB. I also enjoy the editorial, travel and science sections in the BBC and Guardian, along with a few others around the globe.

From that distance, it appears to me that the people of GB may have made one of the biggest mistakes of their history and it's (hopefully) a learning experience for us. It just never ceases to amaze me how a single public vote could carry a result of that magnitude!

Like Trump said about healthcare, "who knew it would be this complicated?". I keep reading more and more complications like Gibraltar, Ireland, and expat benefit issues. What an endless mess.

Of course, I'm being a bit hypocritical considering what's happening here after our last election!
