Absolutely a feature and not a bug...

https://twitter.com/soledadobrien/status/1207880485952786432

Absolutely a feature and not a bug. And the various rallies prove it. Most interesting to me is how the media frequently seems ‘shocked’ at ‘a new low’ because they don’t get—it’s the point. I’s the appeal. And tweeting the headline “Trump say random-horrible-thing” is a win.




Mean, cruel, mendacious and heartless. It gives them a reson to breathe these countless fuckers.

Britain First urges supporters to join Conservative Party 'to make Boris Johnson's leadership more..

..secure’

“If you haven’t joined the Conservative Party yet, we urge you to do so immediately, to make Boris Johnson’s leadership more secure,” Britain First said in an email sent on Wednesday.

“Senior Britain First officials and rank-and-file members have been receiving their Conservative membership cards in the post.

“Just as Momentum activists joined the Labour Party to solidify Jeremy Corbyn’s grip on that party, Britain First activists and members seem to be doing the same for the Tories and Boris.”

How the tory party deal with this influx of the far right will tell us what we need to know about the next 5 years... I don't think they will do anything, but I really hope I wrong.

How many times can a President be impeached?

We all know that the Republicans in the senate will not convict Trump, they have made this clear. We also know that Trump is absolutely incapable of learning from his mistakes, so he will invariably double down on the conduct that saw him impeached in the first place.

He is desperate to cling to power, apart from anything else it is the one sure way to keep him out of prison, and one can lay bets that before the articles of impeachment have even been sent to the senate, he and his team are already identifying who else they can shake down to get the dirt on his eventual opponent.

This administration will not be able to help themselves. They are cheaters by nature. Which begs the question, how many times can a President be impeached? Cause in the next 24 they are going to pull some nasty impeachable shit again… and again… and again.

God rest ye merry congressmen,
Let nothing you dismay.
Remember Trump’s behavior
On this Impeachment Day.
And save us all from Cheeto’s power
That led the world astray.
Oh findings of blackmail and fraud,
Blackmail and fraud.
Oh findings of blackmail and fraud.


Genius!!

Boris is going to be in No. 10 for ten years

Just watching newsnight. They are clinging to the Corbyn project like if only Brexit was not happening, they would have won. They won the economic argument blah blah blah. Rebecca Long Bailey blah blah blah. I heard an idea on the radio the other day that the Corbyn project labels people victims, saviours or saints. Working class are victims in this scenario, which they are not and do not see themselves as any such thing. The Corbynistas are of course the saints and everyone else is the villain. The shocking result means they are doubling down on this. I can see no evidence of any perspective taking from the left of the party. None.

If they do not wise up, and wise up quickly, Boris will be in number 10 for ten years and we will not recognise our country at the end of it.

Things this impeachment is not like:
The crucifixion of Jesus
The Salem Witch Trials
Pearl Harbor

Things this impeachment is like:
An impeachment


Well even a broken clock is right twice a day. The first and I suspect the only time I will agree with this nasty fucker, but he is not wrong!!
