A Political Thread pt. 2

[SG59_]

This guy is the front runner for the Republicans and there is a real chance he could get into power again... Dear god USA WTF is wrong with you?

The state of politics is just pathetic. Not just in the US but here too. People worry about Russia or China etc damaging us, but they're probably just laughing.

It honestly feels like we need the adults back.

If Russia invaded America tomorrow, half of America would say "I want to see what Russia can do for me"

He could have made a fortune as a Sven Goran Eriksen lookalike. Being a Tory MP he's probably made a fortune through far shadier means.

Shadier than being a lookalike? or shadier than SGE used to make his fortune?

Have there ever been this many by-elections for "misconduct" to put it lightly?

According to Wiki...
years with more than 1 by-election due to "scandal":
1936 - 2 (both the same scandal - disclosing budget secrets)
2009 - 2 (both the same scandal - expenses)
2019 - 2
2021 - 2
2022 - 3
2023 - 4 and counting

Jim Jordan is such a piece of ****. To do what he did when he was an assistant coach of student athletes should disqualify him from public office for life.

Peter Bone was my local MP once and he helped with some issues. In a way I'm now kind of glad he didn't invite me to his constituency office. In the same way I'm glad my sister and i never got on Jim'll Fix It.

Welp . . .

Plus everything he's done since, it's not even like it was a temporary lapse for the guy, he has continued to be a complete **** since.
