A year ago we had an operator, before that we a cunt, we have a bastard now.
I can't help thinking it's the time of the buffoon, we should get ourselves one.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Don't you love it when the guy that has been the underminer, when the champion wrecker gets the top job and declares there should be no more division.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Hmmmm. Maybe we can transport Bo Jo down there :)

The blokes in charge here are being the dull bastards you'd expect them to be.

Biden is getting stuff done.  I hope he keeps it up and can turn the pandemic and the economy around.  Of course, he is governing Americans, so that's not in his favor.

The CDU of Angela Merkel got a big beating yesterday in the local elections. The reasons for their big loss were obvious. People are extremely angry, because the CDU handles the Covid-19 pandemic very poorly.  Also, several CPU politicians enriched themselves during the pandemic, by taking money from masks suppliers. So, the the letter "C" no longer stands for "Christian" but for "Corruption". Good news was, that the AfD populist party also lost a lot of votes. I'm not a big fan of that party either, because their leaders are very creepy ultra right wing people. The big winner of the election was the Green party.

his big problem is one that he' s ignoring, which is that while he is in power now with a democrat house and senate, the republicans are playing the long game and are working hard to suppress democrrat voting in the next election, and to gerrymanders the districts for beyond that. . they can't win elections on an even footing, so they're doing everything they can to steal them.

if the republicans win one more seat in the senate, his further progress will be stalled.

The senate is 50/50, there is no Dem control there. And yes, the Republicans are just doing the dirt instead of working for the US.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has herself a challenger.  I hope he's macho enough and vet enough to pull in whatever rational votes remain on the Right.  We'll need those since the Progressive Left is already bitching that he's a moderate.

It seems like a lot of people listen to the loud mouth on the microphone and just follow without checking other sources for information, especially reliable ones.

It appears that the sergeant is entirely capable of going toe to toe with Marjorie Greene..

Are there any reliable sources left? I really have problems finding news outlets that are objective and brings me facts instead of opinions.

Now that you mention it and I subsequently think about it I don't know if there is. I'd like to say NPR but it's been a while since I've listened to it. All the others seem to care about what is sensational for the time.
