Phew! Thank goodness that Chump chap has gone, to be replaced by that kindly smiling Uncle Joe who is a true DEMOCRAT literally. Except some don't see it that way;

Joe Biden is a cute fluffy toy put forward by the wild dogs of the "Democratic in name only" left-wingers of the US to reduce people's concerns about Bernie Sanders's type socialism.

Bernie Sanders himself was too far left and "odd" to win election, rather like a political mirror image of Trump, so he was induced to drop out of the competition. None of the other Democratic candidates would have been electable because they all had one or more key positions that would alienate enough voters to ensure defeat so a figure-head was chosen who would either a) be subject to manipulation or b) die on the job.

We now see that, as far as the country is concerned, the tactic back-fired. We now see that part of the result is that the US is being flooded with COVID carrying illegal immigrants who are given free transportation to any part of the country they wish to spread the virus. Meanwhile Biden et al blame Americans who do not wish to be vaccinated for the COVID spread and they prevent Canadians from entering the US.

Do we let people into the country who refuse vaccination?

boing sez: “the US is being flooded with COVID carrying illegal immigrants who are given free transportation to any part of the country they wish...”.

Delete ‘US’ and insert ‘UK’ and you’ve summed up the situation in Blighty.

And our illegals are not charged north of £2k for the privilege in order to quarantine as are the indigenous passport-holding UK residents who get treated like prisoners in rat-infested Heathrow Airport hotels...

How is it that such people get elected to make such idiotic decisions??

And who exactly are students of ""color"". What an insult, inferring students of colour do not have the intelligence to pass any exams in the basics.

When the above is bundled in with all the other idiotic happenings, such as defunding police,statue of a criminal being erected in Brooklyn,attacks on the seat of government, political parties not accepting the will of the people and the major rise in gun crimes.This is all is influenced by lobby groups, weak politicians and splinter groups. If this is not corrected it will see America become a bit player and turned into a laughing stock on the world stage.

He may be anti-politician but his reporting is correct.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEax-wVX5eA

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/bi ... al-rating/

Biden got elected by promising kids freebies like reduction of "student loan debts.", not going to happen.
He extended rent payment relief for renters but ignores the fact the the actual property owner still has to pay taxes and mortgage payments on their property with no income from their tenants.
He has done nothing to crimp the tax dodging by millionaires who can presently borrow money at 1% interest and claim the tax benefits.
Fuel prices have increased because he shut down energy projects his supporters did not like.
He is carrying out unauthorised bombing attacks in Somalia without any sort of declaration or approval of congress.

The man does not have the intellectual capacity of a scarecrow.

Even Warren Buffet has grumbled about the fact that his lowly typist is more highly taxed than he is.

Arseholes like Bezos make no such complaints. He just polishes his rocket and grins and smirks.

Here's how that works:

As the Hamster Wheel risks the bearings seizing up, why don't we give it a spin for engineering purposes?

Seems like Ron DeSantis is making early voter-friendly noises in preparation for 2024;



Our western cousins may be able to comment regarding his chances and his funding but if I were the Dems I'd be worried about this sort of rhetoric coming fast on the heels of the fading of the 'plague' and into the teeth of the 'woke' agenda. :-?

How did this action that was designed for, and luckily discovered for what it was, get away with such a light sentence? After the judges summing up I would have thought a few years in the lock up would have been appropriate. the intent of the action was pure evil, the colour of his skin may have been partly responsible for the light sentence??

She does look and sound more than half-pissed.

Is she a closet alcoholic like Charles Kennedy was?

Please please Sleepy Joe, stay with us and hang in there until 2024 or else things will get really dystopian?!

Is this the classic example of filling a position with someone who ticks the boxes with melatonin and ovaries?

https://rumble.com/vxmbyb-to-the-cackli ... 8&mrefc=56

What a toe-curling embarrassing performance, unlikely to inspire confidence in the US elector who is facing economic meltdown getting worse by the day.

But of course, deflect that aspect onto the Polish President as if he’d be able to cast light on the topic... ~X(

I wonder does she have the same dentist as Blessed Jacinda several thousand miles away, it certainly looks that way! :-\

HUNT IS OVER Hunter Biden’s laptop containing trove of emails and orgy pics FINALLY confirmed to be his after months of NYT silence

THE infamous laptop belonging to Hunter Biden that detailed his sordid drug-fuelled orgies and international business dealings has finally been confirmed to be his - after months of fence-sitting from the New York Times."


Interesting.It seems like the NYT are ready to appoint a new "chosen one"to take over from Blundering Uncle Joe who is making it very hard for Democrats to be re-elected going forward..

It is beginning to make sense.......it appears it has been leaked to the NYT that indictment of Hunter Biden for money laundering ,false declaration and evading taxes is imminent and the NYT have suddenly had a change their perception of reality and are suddenly trying to make sure that they are on the right side of the facts ,which they for so long denied ,that no doubt will come out in court.

I must admit that all of these lies from Washington DC are getting tiresome.For two years now we have been told that the Hunter Biden laptop story was everything from a conspiracy theory to a Russian misinformation campaign. In all of this time the New York Times have known that the laptop story was genuine, they even referred to it before the information clamp was applied prior to the last elections.

The "pundits" seem to be going with the theory that this is a hatchet job on the Biden's to make sure Joe does not stand for President again. It seems strange that they would do this prior to the mid-term elections where the chances are that Joe is going to be neutered in any case. Perhaps they want him embarrassed out of the job by forcing a resignation or impeachment. It seems this would be a genuine impeachment charge rather than the impeachment garbage that arises whenever anyone sneezes in the wrong direction.

I can see a crude plot here but its success would still be doubtful. Dump Joe, move Harris to the left seat, put an electable individual in the right seat and run the VP instead of Harris in the next election by torpedoing her as they did Sanders in the last elections.

As an outsider looking in, would it be possibe for someone to enlighten me as to how this shambles that is USA politics has reached this point,i.e.,how,
when and who started the rot. Any resemblance to a properly functioning government seems to be diminishing slowly but surely,and I think the rest of
the world is not far behind.
