For Trump the buck stops anywhere but @ his front door...



Heh. Such gravitas. Not. Such moral cowardice. Sigh.

She allowed a predator onto the Supreme Court and she'll allow one to stay in the White House.

Make no mistake, Murkowski is an expert in the non-position-position. She allowed a predator onto the Supreme Court and she’ll allow one to stay in the White House. It’s what she does.


All that right wing, predator enabling fence sitting must hurt her arse, and her polling...

[Patriotism ON] [Patriotism OFF]



Exactly this...

For every single one of them that cheers him on...



Exactly this. They cheer on a cruel and nasty wanker, anything they say and boo to stop us stopping him can have no effect on our psyche cause they actually cheer him on....

HEH. The logic is undeniable.

After all...



Any boos they throw our way are a badge of honour IMO.

One has to conclude that they don't care that they are ethical black holes...



Voting for the same bollocks again and again, but expecting different results is so very very stupid… unless they literally do not care that they are voting for morality free hucksters. I think that must be it.

An American Abroad.

Watching the national news this lunchtime and they were doing a piece on Boxing Day Sales, over consumption and the environment. They were interviewing the general public and purely by chance landed on an American (having had several sensible comments from a few Brits).

This is what he had to say…

‘’Obviously, I think about the environment, ah, yeah, but consumerism keeps capitalism going and unlike the socialists over here in Europe I am a capitalist – I am all about consumerism’’

The layers of stupidity and ignorance are many… good grief.
Bet he votes for Trump. Heh.

Happy Boxing Day!



Hehe.



In case you are wondering Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants, and the day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families. Sometimes coming from a class based society pays off!!!

This is about right and wrong

I shall never comprehend all those people who state with certainty "this impeachment will get Trump re-elected, charge up his base, bring out the big donor bucks etc et al ". It is a nonsense. How can they possibly know how the average voter will react as more of the poisonous regime that is this administration drips into the consciousness of the typical American?

This is about right and wrong. Right? Law. Governance. Democracy. This is not just about Trump; it is about how the Office of the President must conduct itself.

Even if the republicans are demonstrably unable to distinguish between right and wrong, even if the impeachment goes nowhere because this republican senate is a bastardisation of morality, ethical decision making and justice. Even if they have enthusiastically sold their souls to a man that would throw them in front of the first bus to help himself.

Even if, all of this, there will be a reckoning. No-one, not even the cult that is Trump can be allowed to abuse the presidential office with impunity. America will not stand for it in the end. Once this over, when the dust has settled on this period on our history, for those who have perpetrated these attacks upon democratic norms there will be a reckoning.

Or am I just feeling optimistic cause season of goodwill and all that? Happy Christmas everyone. I am off to indulge in Christmas Crackers, Fizz and far too much food. Catch you on the other side. Much love to you and yours from across the pond.

As populist leaders become the new 'normal'...



This is what we are up against - they are making this bollocks the new normal across swathes of the West and we need a plan, a stonking big, win at all costs progressives' strategy to get these fuckers out using the democracy they are trying to destroy against them...
