Also for what it’s worth -
New Zealand’s conspiracy theorist xenophobe jerk (Winston Peters) is now out of parliament after last month’s election here.
And as an aside - we had two referenda on the ballot -
Is there any prospect at all that he could face a charge of inciting violence?
Having lived in Singapore - I know how laws about “inciting violence” or slander etc etc can be used as a cudgel by the government to protect their position and supress alternative ideas.
At the same time though does there not have to come a point where the people that have a platform as part of their position have to behave responsibly?
Individual 1 made his tribute to Sean Connery all about him, of course.
I find it odd, jarring really, to see an exclamation mark in a condolence note.
What a fucking moron.
The legendary actor, 007 Sean Connery, has past on to even greener fairways. He was quite a guy, and a tough character. I was having a very hard time getting approvals for a big development in Scotland when Sean stepped in and shouted,“Let him build the damn thing”. That
… was all I needed, everything went swimmingly from there. He was so highly regarded & respected in Scotland and beyond that years of future turmoil was avoided. Sean was a great actor and an even greater man. Sincere condolences to his family!
Well. The hack epidemiologist adviser to Trump on the pandemic (actually a neuro radiologist that does not work in that field now) Dr. Atlas, pretends not be ever aware that the RT network was listed as a foreign agent.
Really, no one in Trump’s administration advised the advisor on how stupid that was going to be?
And that was just the first fuckup, the other was to insist in that misleading source that lock downs are deadlier than reaching in practice for herd immunity as the solution for the pandemic.
It does not matter to the hack that experts have said the early shutdowns in the country saved tens of thousands of lives and that they are maybe needed again in some states as the numbers of cases are spiking.
And equally predictably, it’s not clear that his claim is true.
Oh, I think their meeting was not a coincidence.
Bond got the best from Trump finger.
When I first saw this story on CNN earlier, I thought FOX would make it the latest, greatest scandal. But it’s way down on their page. Trump, of course, has not released his list. The article says Biden did not have to do this, why did he? It’s a minor little thing, probably won’t change anyone’s mind.
I think you answered the question of “why did he?” just fine there.
Individual 1 left his supporters stranded in the cold again last night.
Wonder who they’ll try to blame it on this time? Obama? Sleepy Joe? Hillary and her emails?
How long is it gonna take before people start acting like they fully understand that in Trump’s mind other people exist only to be props?
And again, this tweet I spotted:
That’s definitely what he is doing. No there is no prospect for him to be charged. The sedition will come after Biden is elected.
Somewhere in America in the year 2050.
"I tell you what, Bubba, Trump might’ve been a sonuvabitch…but the buses shore did run on ti – wait…"
I’ll take “never” for $200, Alex, indicated by the fact that there are still ways* poll aggregators are finding how Trump can get his 270 EC votes. If this were a just world they would be saying something like, “In every state in the union those likely to vote for Trump are so few as to be invisible. Biden is ahead by twice the margin of error in the closest state.”
*Although they are getting fewer every day.
Yes. And this is WHY we are having scary stuff and people boarding up businesses:
Mc-Inane-y to Fox & Friends (paraphrasing): "Trump has earned a second term and Joe Biden is promising us a dark winter ahead.”
Really? Which one has a plan to deal with COVID right away rather than perpetually two weeks into the future?
Wow. Which candidate promises me a pretty pink pony?
