A Political Thread pt. 2

[Vieux Talonneur]

Another victim of Robb Elementary.

Incredibly sad in its own right but absolutely heartbreaking for their children.

Absolute slimeball. The faux outrage and sympathy and whines about making it "political" and then proceeds to do nothing but pretend it's all part of an agenda.

'Throwing red meat to socialists': Dorset MP criticises new windfall tax announcement

A DORSET MP has criticised the Chancellor for announcing a new tax in his emergency measures to counter the soaring cost of living.

www.dorsetecho.co.uk

Conservative MP Richard Drax told the Commons: "Can I warn (Rishi Sunak) that throwing red meat to socialists by raising taxes on businesses and telling them where to invest their money is not the Conservative way of encouraging those who create our prosperity and jobs to do just that.

"And does he agree with me that by setting this bar, we're in danger – were we ever to lose power – of allowing the socialists to raise it, which they would do with relish, again and again and again."

It's the utter hypocrisy I can't stand either. He's one of the top earners on behalf of the gun lobby.

Uvalde shooting: Texas police change key details as criticism mounts

Questions remain over why officers took more than an hour to storm the school and stop the attack.

As usual looks like the cops in the USA are fabricating their own reality to make themselves look like heroes. Fact is that, once again, the cops stood by and did nothing, even using force against parents instead of the gunman. It's yet another case of US cops acting like bullies and using excessive force against those who don't pose a threat whilst doing nothing against those that do.

We are covering all aspects of American failure here.

Mass shootings at school, law enforcement incompetence, and now law enforcement fabrication. I'm sure this will now shift the debate away from how we need reasonable gun laws to how we need to spend the gdp of Mexico on law enforcement and mass shooting situations.

I went from sad to angry this morning.

 

[ncurd]

Yeah this is going well

 

[Reiser99]

And people still say we don't need a written constitution. American politics is ******, but we're snapping at their heels.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Yeah this is going well

Can't break the rules or face punishments if you change the rules and remove the punishments

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Yeah this is going well

Boris Johnson accused of changing ministerial code to ‘save his skin’

Rewritten rules remove need to resign – instead ministers can apologise or temporarily lose pay for breaches

www.theguardian.com

Goes into it in more detail. But yeah an utter disgrace.

 

[Reiser99]

Yet Johnson's plan of delay, delay, delay has worked. At least in terms of Westminster. Hopefully the by-elections will prove otherwise.
