* Briefing wars about who has won are already ramping up as sides prepare to sell the agreement to their voters
Boris Johnson is set to announce a Brexit trade deal this morning after British and EU trade negotiators fueled by pizza pored over the fine detail of an agreement that will finally bring four years of brutal wrangling to a close.
The two sides are understood to be on the brink of sealing future trade terms to avert a chaotic split when the transition period ends on January 1, with an outline in place and just the last touches needed to the text.

So Britain has to give up its fisheries and let them be raped.
Iceland and Britain had a coast guard war in the 1950's over cod with purposeful boat collisions, net cutting and armed escorts. I hope Britain reneges on the fisheries after 3 to 5 years or next year.
Would that (fill in the blank) Ursula von der Leyen know this history? No. She only learned enough to get the 'right' college degree, marry into the nobility, and spat out a large parcel of aristocrats.
"We are ahead of schedule in terms of overtaking the United States. There will be no problem reaching this goal in 2027. The U.S. will not survive."

"We have our old friends who are at the top of America's core inner circle of power and influence. ... Trump has been saying that Biden's son has some sort of global foundation. Have you noticed that? Who helped [Hunter] build the foundations? Got it? There are a lot of deals inside all these."

"The New York Times reported that Chine graduates 600,000 new engineers every year in 2006 as opposed to 70,000 in the U.S. A Duke professor disputed this number and estimates 351,000 engineering graduates. In 2011, the University of California at San Diego created a full-time "vice chancellor for equity, diversity, and inclusion." It already had 18 diversity organizations. At the same time, it announced that it would no longer offer a master's degree in electrical and computer engineering. Author Scott Johnson claims that his alma mater, Yale, has 150 full-time diversity officers. Diversity is our strength."
Who pushes diversity? Democrats. Republicans are naturally diverse and practice equality. Unlike hypocrite Democrats they do not wear it on their sleeves.
After 4 years of a Biden presidency nearly 1 in 3 Blacks will still be poor. Trump was working on economic opportunity zones. Trump would get it done in the next 2 years. Trump got rid of Biden's 1993/1994 crime Bill that put many Blacks in prison. Trump did that in a year. Biden never did it in 25 years.

Actually no. Britain isn't giving up its fishing rights. In fact they'll be getting more control over a 5 year period.
