As we wake to another Sunday thanking whomever you believe in for yet another day of life on this earth we need to seriously start to ask is it really worth it when we have to put up with so much shit just to enjoy life. So let's see what shit storm is happening today.

Well in America big baby Trump has once again stormed away from the press when questions got too hard and he was called out for his BS. He abruptly walked out of the press conference after a reporter fact-checked him on his dubious claim about signing a 'Veteran's Choice' bill he claimed was his. Trump was taking questions from the press at his 'GOLF CLUB' in Bedminster, New Jersey after signing four executive orders on Saturday when CBS News White House correspondent Paula Reid pressed him. Miss Reid simply asked 'Why do you keep saying that you passed Veterans Choice?' She was referring to Trump's earlier remark: 'I just signed two great bills for our veterans. We passed Veteran's Choice and Veteran's Accountability'. You could easy see him getting frustrated and angry as he tried to call on another reporter instead, But miss Reid continued, 'You said that you passed Veterans Choice. It was passed in 2014...it was a false statement, sir'. This really got to Trump as he paused for thought then responded: 'OK. Thank you very much, everybody' and then walked away from the podium as the song 'YMCA' played. It is true that Trump signed news bills to help the veterans, but he alone, did not initiate the 'Veterans Choice law' because that was signed in 2014 by President Obama, all Trump has done is sign certain amendments to the law. What we keep seeing is Trump either add to laws that previous president have already signed in to existence or strip away laws and rename the very same law as his own. This president is nothing, but a plagiariser using other people ideas, then making photo opportunities to gratify his ego in front of television viewers who probably know no better than to believe false propaganda dished out by a flailing administration. Trump time and time again has showed what type of character he is by running away from his inquisitors when the hot pokers of truth start to burn in to his corrupt and blackened soul.

While Trump was been quizzed over his falsehoods, Democrats were looking to put another nail in his coffin over the debacle going on in the USPS. Congressional Democrats have called for an investigation into decisions made by the head of the US Postal Service (USPS), which they say have slowed deliveries ahead of the election. It is expected that there will be a huge rise in mail in votes for this November's election and leading democrats have aired a concern that the suggested cost cutting within the USPS will have a drastic effect on vote count. Trumps inside man postal chief DeJoy insists standards will be kept and met, stating that even with the unprecedented increase in mail the postal service has ample resources to cope with the influx, but election officials would need to take in to account normal practices, in other words the Trump lackey is looking to cause chaos for Trumps's benefit. The problem the top democrats have with this and many other government run institutions is the adverse impact Trump's administration and it's policies are having on the country at large. It is been seen that Trump has placed key personnel in to key positions knowing they are corrupt and will do his bidding by destabilising such area's as law with the corrupt AG, the validity of mail in voting with his corrupt PMG, and so on through out the top positions in the land. If Trump wins in November he will have four more years where he get's to implement a dictatorship dismantling the USA's constitution from the inside leading up to his dismantling of the very essence of democracy by doing away with elections altogether implementing a totalitarian regime where he rules till his death and then number one son will take over instilling a Trump in power for generations to come. I know I might sound crazy, but four years ago the American public was warned about Trump and those predictions have come true, so why would the prediction of Trump's guilty pleasure to rule america forever come true when you see the ads outlining such facts been openly shown by Trump's reelection team.

On that I need to skip the pond and check out dear old Blighty where we find the depths of ineptitude and corruption within this present government know no bounds as the economy tanks and Johnson's has only one thing on his mind which is to get children back to school next month instead of focusing on curbing the rise on virus cases or the decreasing economy. As the number of firms that notified the government in June about plans to cut 20 or more jobs was five times higher than in the same month last year, shown in figures obtained by a Freedom of Information request. These figures show that in June of this year nearly eighteen hundred firms stated that they were intending to cut nearly one hundred and forty thousand jobs in England, Wales and Scotland compared to only three hundred and forty five firms who had planned to cut twenty four thousand jobs in June of last year. These cuts are due to the coronavirus's effect of wiping out a quarter of the UK's economic output signalling more companies than ever before to announce job losses which included big names like Airbus, Royal Mail, the airport services group Swissport, HSBC, Centrica and the Restaurant Group, owner of Frankie and Benny's closely followed by WH Smith, Dyson, Dixons Carphone, John Lewis, and Casual Dining Group who have all announced redundancies recently causing an increased surge in requests for redundancy advice. While the unemployment rate rises exponentially what do we see Johnson's doing about it, the answer is nothing as his blinded focus's on getting kids back to school.

Johnson has come out stating it is a parents "moral duty" to get all children back into schools in England next month and in a report has continued his push stating that it was "national priority" after months without in-person education during the coronavirus pandemic that children returned to school next month while government advisers have warned of risks in the plans to open up society while the head of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) union, stated schools should have been a priority "right from the beginning". In the aftermath of the last six months of diabolical ineptitude on the governments part, Johnson has also now stated that schools should be the last sector to shut in any future local lockdowns and that he believes the harm being done to children's education prospects and mental health by not attending school is far more damaging than the risk posed to them by the virus. We now see that Johnson is newly qualified as a paediatric psychologist and epidemiologist who knows better than the medical experts as he passes judgement on what is safe or unsafe for the nations children. This from a man who has fathered five children, but is rarely seen to be active in their lives leaving the parenting to his ex-wife and new fiancee as well as expensive boarding schools. 

Yet, the man who would be king thinks he knows how the country should work, but does he? Because it seems he doesn't wear the trousers within Downing Street. The political frontman of the government it seems is merely the puppet controlled and advised by a backroom puppet master in Cummings. The lockdown may have closed theatres, but the comedic farce is alive and well, and has been taking place at least twice daily in Downing Street as the country undergoes the worst economic depression in memory or possibly history. We have a prime minister, a man who is floundering so dependent on his key adviser Cummings, who should have been sacked due to how he made the government and Johnson look like idiots while making a laughing stock of the government’s entire lockdown policy. How can we as a country really take anything the government has to say serious after the countless reports of corruption, lackadaisical attitudes, constant backtracking on policies and the enormous joke they have become since Johnson won first the tory leadership, then the primeministerial election. Yes it can be said the pandemic has caused a massive clusterf*** globally, but what goes on elsewhere in the world is irrelevant when you are governed by a man who has singlehandedly overseen over forty six thousand deaths, the worst rise in unemployment since the 1980's and still fails to complete a satisfactory withdrawal from Europe which was one of the biggest lies the general public was ever told.

As America faces the decision to remove their inept leader, we in the UK have no such look and face just over three more years of this fop haired overgrown schoolboy who could regress this nation back in time causing such a backlash never seen before where the populous rise up to remove the privileged elite and take back their civil rights to be governed by a peer, not a peer of the realm elected by the his cronies. I don't think much of the American political system, but what I do agree with is that the political leader of the country should not be part of any party with a say on policy until all parties have an agreement and should be one who is voted in to office for a fixed term. The parties should have a bipartisan effect without one party having the figured head in charge. What I see is our political system of separate parties, but with a system where each party once every two or four years puts forth their candidate for primeminister who acts as a political figure head beneath the royal figure head but has only the power to sign off on politically agreed policies. Basically if Johnson or Starmer wanted to be primeminister they would no longer be a member of parliament just the countries face of politics while the party heads conduct the political business separately. On that unsolicited opinion I will call it a day.

Rant you tomorrow!
