Disgusting crimes of bribed and corrupt Supreme Court MAGA majority show what it looks like when super-rich financiers get what they want - Hysterical media putsch campaign against Biden shows what it looks like when they DON'T!
Stunning Defeat of British Conservatives aka Tories confirms ongoing sharp left turn in politics of English-speaking world; Policies of winning Labour Party are comparable to Biden's; Vanquished Tories strikingly similar to Trump, foreshadowing his defeat!
Defeat is worst for Tories since 1834, with loss of two thirds of their seats in Parliament, including 20 national leaders and 8 cabinet ministers; Trump crony Farage got FIVE sears of 650;
British voters have in the process rejected the bankrupt policies also advocated by Trump and MAGA GOP:
Key issue was destruction of National Health Service by Tory austerity ghouls on exact model Trump has tried against Obamacare/ACA;
Failed ex-Prime Minister Liz Truss lasted 45 days in office after demanding more tax cuts for rich with borrowed money (just like Trump); She suggested France was an enemy and is now unemployed;
Tories are party of anti-Europe Brexit, which has proven an economic catastrophe for poverty-stricken British wage earners; Some three quarters of British would like to return to EU; Anti-immigrant psychosis means low wage jobs go begging, wrecking services;
Tories have imposed 14 years of killer austerity especially in the public sector, all in service of the City of London financiers, and now they pay the piper;
Saving grace of Tories Bojo and Sunac was strong support for Ukraine; New Premier Keir Starmer will fully support Ukraine at Washington NATO summit of July 9-10-11; Loony Labour left of anti-NATO and anti-US Jeremy Corbyn is out of power;
US press and television, never beloved, are courting severe mass backlash with their blatant, ham-handed, and relentless anti-Biden media putsch, despite fascism at the gates; Malign spirit of Rupert Murdoch and Fox News is everywhere; Among protagonists are NBC/MSNBC, commanded by Cesar Conde, who hired Trump hack Ronna McDaniel as top pundit; CNN, run by TV mogul Zaskav and Murdoch vet Sir Mark Thompson, who made sure there was no fact checking at Biden-Trump debate;
Washington Post, owned by plutocrat Bezos and run by Murdoch man Sir William Lewis, Murdoch fixer in cell phone tapping scandal still ongoing in London courts, under attack by New York Times --For Sir Will, "Democracy Dies in Darkness" seems more an agenda than a warning;
Wall Street Journal, owned by Murdoch and run by the British Emma Tucker, ex-editor of London Sunday Times; and Bloomberg News, edited by John Mickelthwaite, CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) and a Bilderberger; ABC News, owned by Disney; CBS, owned by Paramount;
and the New York Times, run by AG "Dash" Sulzberger, who has been irresponsibly feuding with Biden for months if not years; These are the plutocratic media barons who preside over the barrage of hit pieces on our President!
Provincial hack reporters understand little of the stress of the Presidency, as seen from examples: In 1994, Harvard President Neil Rudenstein, then 59, collapsed from overwork, exhaustion, and dehydration, and required a 3 month leave of absence to recover; NOTE THAT BIDEN HAS NOT COLLAPSED, despite being older;
traveled, so effects would certainly be felt 12 days after competing the second of two closely spaced trips; Ronald Reagan's meticulous handlers feared he would be debilitated by jet lag on his 1984 China trip over twelve time zones, so they set up special diet and sleep regimes, and had him make the 24-hour DC to Beijing journey in SEVEN days, with stopovers and rest in California, Hawaii and Guam;
Wise comments by Prof. Allan Lichtman of American University, who has an illustrious track record for picking winners except
for the 2000 GOP coup and advocates an objective analysis of presidential contests (the 13 keys), pointing out that incumbency and internal party unity are priceless advantages it would be folly for Democrats to jettison for no reason; No medical professional has stated that Biden is unfit; The impact of a single debate on the outcome has historically been ZERO; Stuart Stevens adds that no president has been defeated with unemployment at 4.1% !
In Sunday's second round of French parliamentary elections, the neo-Vichy RN of LePen and Bardella look unlikely to reach absolute majority; They will have to trade and haggle to form a coalition, and then will have to govern in the face of stubborn problems, a task far more difficult than simply spewing neo-fascist rhetoric; By the presidential vote in 2027,
Le Pen will be discredited, no longer a novelty; Macron's plan is working, while he retains total control of foreign policy and the military; De Gaulle's Fifth Republic constitution of 1958 gives France the strongest presidency and the weakest parliament in the western world; July 14 is Bastille Day, so Vive la France!
@MichaelTalon I traveled to Spain last year.
In Spain, I suffered no jet lag.
Upon my return to the States, it took me 10 days to be myself again.
Excellent thread.
In 1963, famous reporter Lowell Thomas collapsed with what doctors considered a heart attack, but which turned out to be JET LAG after crossing all of the world's 24 time zones twice over several months for a total of 48 time zones; Biden's two June trips to Europe and back in a week add up to at least 24 time zones, but the President has not collapsed; Experts estimate it takes one full day to overcome the impact of each time zone
