Herman 9,582 Posted July 3, 2021 After all that has happened, all that we have seen and heard about his malevolence and treatment of his own countrymen and non-countrymen, if people still think Trump deserves their support then there is something seriously wrong with them. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No way! Heartwarming to see Carlson is a liar. That will stand him in good stead when he runs for president in 2024. The Washington Post unearthed this gem: He attended the elite La Jolla Country Day School, where a woman entered his life whom he grew to detest. It was his first-grade teacher, whom he referred to in his book as Mrs. Raymond. He caricatured her as “a parody of earth-mother liberalism” who “wore long Indian-print skirts. . . . She had little interest in conventional academic topics, like reading and penmanship.” He recalled her sobbing theatrically at her desk, saying, “The world is so unfair! You don’t know that yet. But you’ll find out!”: Carlson said he just wanted liberals to “stop blubbering and teach us to read. . . . Mrs. Raymond never did teach us; my father had to hire a tutor to get me through phonics.” Thus, Carlson says, he began his sojourn as a conservative thinker, questioning the liberals who he said were all around him, exemplified by his first-grade teacher. So the Post contacted Mrs Raymond: Raymond said in an interview that she never sobbed at her desk, didn’t wear an Indian skirt and didn’t advocate her political views. She said that not only did she teach Carlson reading at La Jolla Country Day School — with a student body that was “very affluent and White” — but that she also was then hired to tutor him at his home. “Oh my God,” she said, when informed of Carlson’s attack against her. “That is the most embellished, crazy thing I ever heard.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,263 Posted July 27, 2021 Shocking testimony that ought to shame Republicans but won't. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/capitol-riot-police-officer-who-was-electrocuted-by-mob-dismissed-as-crisis-actor-by-fox-news-regular/ar-AAMCSvK?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531 Another officer had this cutting rebuke for the GOP: “There are some who express outrage when someone kneels while calling for social justice,” said Sgt Gonell. “Where are those same people expressing the outrage to condemn the violent attack on law enforcement, the Capitol, in our American democracy? I'm still waiting for them.” During his remarks and subsequent answers to lawmakers’ questions, Sgt Gonell laid the blame for the riot and violence against law enforcement squarely on the shoulders of former President Donald Trump, who at a rally outside the White House that day urged his supporters to march down Pennsylvania Ave to the Capitol as lawmakers counted the Electoral College ballots officially making Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. “It was an attempted coup,” Sgt Gonell said. “If it was another country, the US would have sent help.” https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/officer-knocks-conservatives-who-are-outraged-by-athletes-taking-the-knee-but-won-t-condemn-capitol-riot/ar-AAMCCJt?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horsefly 4,263 Posted July 29, 2021 Another police officer providing a testimony that utterly destroys the Republican claims about Jan 6th: How on earth has the GOP allowed Trump to turn it from a party of patriots into a party supporting right-wing domestic terrorists? Their recent history reads like a far-fetched script for a series of Homeland, yet day after day the grotesque parade of mouthy Republican politicians seem determined to prove they value the words of white supremacists and conspiracy theorists far more the those inscibed in the Constitution of the United States.

Good question, and I'm sure many in this country would love to know the answer as Johnson and the Tory Party appear to be following exactly the same path as Trump & the GOP - would be great if we could find a way of getting rid of them without there being violence at Westminister (or anywhere else) but I don't think many people here would surprised if we do end up in a very similar situation.

We will. the trajectory is identical. So we need to look to the root cause. There is very clearly a concerted campaign to undermine democracy in our countries and we see some common denominators - Murdoch being one of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
