Quite telling to hear every president say the same thing. UKs slavish adherence is similar - almost every MP given all expenses trip to Tel Aviv, bribed, bullied

Quite long but this is one MP that refused to bow and scrape to the Israeli lobby. Then he gets accused of anti semitism, but he fought the bogus allegations and won

Young Democrat Would Beat Trump in Swing States

 

Donald Trump was already leading President Joe Biden in several swing states but after the assassination attempt, a new poll shows the former president gaining even more ground – unless a younger Democrat replaces Biden.

A survey conducted by Emerson College Polling found that Trump holds a three-point lead or more over the president in seven key swing states – and most of those are an increase from polling conducted in March.

The poll from Emerson supports that idea. When asked who they would vote for in a matchup between Trump and a younger Democrat, 53.7 percent of swing state voters said they would choose the younger Democrat

American isolationism will affect the middle East too.
With the med progressively becoming Russia's lake, the days of Israel are numbered.

THE MYSTERY OF BREXIT

As we all know brexit was introduced in order to prohibit freedom of movement between Europe and the United kingdom.
In every other respect brexit is detrimental or at best functionless but freedom of movement was considered important enough to justify brexit.
A number of other justifications that were produced these verge between unreason and total illogicality.
These other "justification" were mainly hodge-podge constructions, to hide and disguise the racist angle.

How was then brexit brought about ?
There were three main tribes who supported brexit.
First it was Nigel Farage and his UKIP party.
Next the Boris Johnson tribe. That was the biggest tribe comprising of two thirds to three quarters of the Tory party.
Then the "red wall", working class individuals of poor to medium poor mental caliber.
There were smaller tribes, such as the BNP and the left wing cmmunists and trotskyites.

Eventually the percentage in favour of brexit in the referendum was 51.5%.
So brexit won by a small margin.

But the question here is what is the strength of brexit now.
One thing the remainers/rejoiners fail to recognize is that this 51.5% immediately after the referendum grew to well over 60%.
Because of the turncoats. Theresa May, Liz Truss and lots of others.
These people declared themselves turncoats right after the result was announced and before the sunrise of the 24th of June 2016.
Cameron himself was very unhappy he could not himself become a turncoat and had to resign.

So brexit starts life with 60-65% really.
But what happened next ?
It of course proved to be an unmitigated disaster so the support is not so high any longer.

In the last general election the voters that can be readily identified as brexit voters are the Tories and Reform.
Tories got 23.7%, Reform 14.3%.
So their total is 38%.

The question being asked is then about the remaining 62%.
How many brexiters ?
In particular how many brexiters in Labour (n.b. 33.7%) ?
If they makee up 12% (one third) then brexit despite its the shortcomings is home and dry.
If not then brexit is a minority cult.

In my opinion the percentage of fanatical rejoiners is well below that of the fanatical brexiters (the 38% stated above).
But that does n't make the non-fanatics into brexiters.

So how many from Labour are brexiters in your estimate ?

He kinda has to ride with his VP. She's his final legacy.

Twitter is trash, but this did make me laugh:

I saw the photos of the place where Trump was shot.
As it is a long time practice to cover rooftops it was criminal.
But the assailant had alternatives. In all manner of likelihood he did n't know that rooftop to the left of the podium was unattended before he got there.

True. 

Just saw this -Because Biden exited the race before officially becoming the nominee - the more than 3,900 pledged delegates get to cast their ballots in an open convention for whichever candidate they want.

If a candidate wins the majority of pledged delegates on the first ballot, they become the party nominee. 

If no candidate gets a majority, then the so-called nearly 740 superdelegates, also known as automatic delegates, get to vote as well. They include a mix of party members and elected officials. 

Voting continues until a candidate gets a majority of delegates.
