Who cares? Do you want to live in a country where this matters?

It doesn't really seem to matter where you live, if the government of the USA decides that it doesn't like you.

Indeed, you can be sitting there eating dinner with your family when a remote controlled drone operated from half way across the world fires a missile at you killing you and your family instantly without any forewarning.

Now that's fucked up.

Or, in the UK, our police will happily accompany US officers to your door step and let them render you.

I'm sure the "K" in UK is a place holder for an "S". And that "S" is for "special relationship".

Oh, any actual American people aware of the UK / US "special relationship"? It a hilarious self delusion on our part.

On the American side there is a very special awareness of England. (We are generally ignorant enough to not understand the difference between the UK and England.)

That relationship is that you're the goto example of tyranny worth rebelling against. Among politically active Republicans that I know, you're also a good source of statistics showing that implementing gun control increases the crime rate. (Never mind the fact that you changed how you collect statistics to include more crimes in your statistics, the NRA loves the fact that you implemented gun control and crime rates went up.)
