The pathetic UK prime minister has announced the government is going to hire more nunses, more police, more teachers. He is boasting about it already. He ignores the fact that this is necessary because successive Conservative governments have forced cuts in their numbers by squeezing their budgets. So he is inviting praise for tackling a problem caused by the government.

reeling here and really worried as some twits translated their propaganda and now there are some people who idolise the orange blob in french-speaking countries. I heard the whole theory over a week ago and I still cannot wrap my head around it. Frightening.

In a sleepless patch last night I wondered if it would be possible to kidnapp the orange one and keep him in protective custody for the coming week - this, of course, is protective of us.

Aside from the wonderfulness of impeaching him again, I am howling with laughter at the perfection of him stiffing Giuliani !

Better late than never, voy! Although I overheard two young adults here and one of the guys was spouting conspiracy drivel. Not even with any passion! Just « I think I kinda heard there was some cheating in some important states... » none of these people followed one thing of that in the last four years! They only know what they heard some bozo on the internet said. Twats. I AM worried about thus newer generation of entitled white guys. They have no understanding of context (and the rest) whatsoever.

It is unfortunately a possibility, also after his son-in-law refused to play along about ThumpNews/ThumpTwitter. and unfortunately, he'd have lots of people joining. Anyway, lots of people are saying that the GOP has a choice of becoming his party or to cut themselves from him.

I listened but I didn't hear in what way exactly globalisation was ending, or even which bits of globalisation are ending. Did he mean the end of American hegemony? Well I expect even that will see me out!
As an aside we have had these failed narratives: The End of History and the Last Man (Francis Fukuyama) The Twilight of Sovereignty (Walter Wriston)
And they were quite the consensus views of their times.

So, a question for those who understand the situation: I was told that once the Dems had the presidency, the house and regained control of the senate, that they would finally be able to do as they wanted. But now I keep hearing that the GOP are making things difficult for them.
What gives?

What gives? the dems have a slim majority in both houses and so they cannot force things which require a 2/3 majority vote... same-same...

so it's the same mess. ok.
The other side seems to be united in one thing only. making things diffcult for the current administration. what a mess!
And there is another proof that they're not working for their constituents, but for themselves.

Why are politicians like a bunch of bananas?
They start out green and very quickly turn yellow!
