Politics & Stuff

Varoufakis was not elected or came anywhere near.
Anyway he used to be an orderly of Tsipras the other clown.
What they really meant -but don't dare to admit- was to ally themselves with Putin in return for economic assistance.
But the Russians are not known for their gallantry.
However Putin gave to Tsipras a puppy dog.
Varoufakis is also a neo-marxist in economic matters (let the poor make consortium with Rolls Royce and all that).

What is happening here is this:
The far right was always with us and it was not only the fringe groups such as the BNP, KKK as some people believe.
Take for exapmple Greece  before the dictatorship of 1967.
The conservative party's strength was about 35%. Thay could n't have been more otherwise they could govern and there would be no case for dictatorship.
But about half of them were nicknamed "the hard core" - they were openly pro dictatorship before the dictatorship.
One of the leaders of the hard core was Evangelos Averof (nowadays regarded as one of the historic statesmen of Greece). This man was the number one arch-enemy of the Papandreous and after the restoration of democracy in 1974 he continued to be their number one arch-enemy.
But he was also an acquaintance of my father, who was a Papandreou voter. They knew each other from a chess club they both used to frequent.
So ten days after the so called revolution they meet each other in the street and in slow voice Averof says to my father "the country is now in a terrible situation my friend".
When my father came home and related to me this story I was surprised but not so terribly surprised really because I had already gathered an idea of what was going on.
Averof therefore took a stand against the dictatorship, but his supporters, the 17-18% ?
The way we knew them and the way they used to behave makes that unlikely.
They were stuck in the conservatvie "National Radical Union", then the leadership of the National Radical Union declared themselves against the dictatorship, but ?
For the UK similar things can be said about the Tory ultras (make the trains run on time and the rest).

All of them folks -or their sons, daughters- at some time became autonomous and we see what we see now.
The real big problem is in the rest of the population.
The lunatic left and the commies dominate decisively.
So one or the other is maybe destined to dominate and impose their kind of dictatorial rule.

For whatever happens to the world and to Europe the left is entirely to blame.
Not the fascists.
Because you can't blame a jungle animal for being a jungle animal.
Those who have been duped by the left are to blame.

Joe Biden son found guilty on all 3 felony charges:
 

Its actually wild how Biden made his name in the senate being able to work "Across the aisle" with segregationists by saying our schools would turn into jungles if we integrated.....and his living boy is a literal felon crackhead. Life is a funny thing. The brush you use to paint someone else literally paints you.

On the other hand, as far I know, *Hunter* Biden isn't the president, neither is he running to become the president. 🤷‍♂️
Aside from right winger's obsession in creating some (false) equivalence, few people care about his son.

Contrary to the nepotistic former president (when the whole family was in the administration), Hunter was never part of the government.

Reckon the corruption of Clarence Thomas deserves its own public trial. I mean public opinion given that there is no law or accountability once someone gets into that group of friends called the Supreme Court.

Oh for sure, but even in that regard.

 

There would be no other hand if it were Obama's son(if he had one) being a crackhead felon.  There would be nonstop debate about the cultural failings of his community, the moral/social/intellectual failure of this group and whatnot. It was the same type of language Biden used to try to keep black kids out of school with his kids for cheap political points. Today is almost poetic in that regard.

The US Supreme Court is a giant clusterfuck in their Constitutional system.

Lifetime appointments, no controlling authority to police them, and the only way to remove criminals like Thomans and Alito is via the impossibly high (in the modeern divided Congress and country) standard of impeachment (in the House, that is doable, as all you need is a simple majority), then trial and conviction (2/3rds needed to convict, that is the impossible part) in the US Senate.

Statistical anomalies. Next to no black people vote for Republicans.

 

First kid also looks mixed and most likely had no black person in their household ever.

I imagine a poll can be manipulated that says anything.😂

 

Nobody can realistically believe 1/5 Black men in America will vote for a republican over Obama's former Vice President. Especially since that group hasn't voted for a republican, in any significant number, since Ford in 1976(a guy who had supported civil rights since the 1940's).
