Midweek again! Restrictions in the UK are getting stricter as more areas face tier 3 lockdown rules and America heads in to the final 14 days of election ‘BS’. Shall we see what happened over night?
So America as the campaign draws to a close, the unlikely 2020 candidate is profiting from letting Trump do most of the talking. Biden has run a campaign from his home for most of the time while over the past few month’s selectively hitting the campaign trail, only to hunker down again in recent days readying himself for the final debate. He regards big showy rallies as unsafe to his supporters and himself citing safety as very important to him while hoping voters would recognise and reward his prudence. Or was it all a strategy employed to let Trump do all the talking and make the mistakes, so he didn't have to. Trump enjoys the ego boosting rallies and the hustle and bustle of crowds who can pat him on the back and would probably describe life in the Biden’s hometown of Wilmington as suitably sleepy right now. And yes, it is about as humble as you can get for a possible political coronation when you think of the glass-covered colossus Hillary Clinton fatefully chose in New York, but Biden is a candidate who's railed against big rallies and showy moments, a man pitching to restore civility and normalcy to American political life. So as Biden strategizes and plays the long con on Trump, Trump himself is opting to state hop using up more of that fossil fuel he so loves to endorse.
Trump has been pulling at least two super spreader rallies each day since his failed town hall showdown with NBC’s Savana Guthrie six days ago in the hope he can claw back some of the deficit in poll numbers he is currently seeing, but what you have to ask is what illegal, unjust and devious plan is he hiding, ready to throw at Biden a couple of days before the election as reports are circulating that Trump has urged corrupt Attorney General Barr to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Biden’s. So as Trump heads to eerie, Pennsylvania for yet another slanderess speech calling everyone that speaks out against him useless and stupid, the first lady has decided not to accompany her husband. Her chief of staff has stated that the first lady continues to feel better every day after having coronavirus, “but with a lingering cough, and out of an abundance of caution, she will not be travelling today”. Pennsylvania would have been the first ladies first public campaign appearance in more than a year, which should tell you there is something severely wrong in Trump paradise. Could there be a divorce in POTUS’s near future? I have a question, if FLOTUS still has a cough due to the coronavirus, how can Trump’s physicians blatantly lie about him been clear of the virus? This message from the first lady indicates the true story that Trump is ignoring the doctors and carrying on like he is immortal.
What is more bizarre than FLOTUS in hiding, is the sudden appearance of Trump’s daughter Tiffany, the president's youngest and lesser-known daughter who is not usually thought to be close to her father attended a Trump campaign Pride event and is now being ridiculed online after a video of her speaking where she stated “I know what my father believes in, prior to politics he [Meaning Trump] supported gays, lesbians, the LGBQI... IA+ community”. That statement where Tiffany forgot to include the "T" in the acronym, which stands for trans has been used by critics to point to the rollback of LGBT protections by Trump’s administration who during his time in office has restricted transgender people from serving in the military, opposed the Equality Act, a bill that would have ensured federal protections for LGBTQ+ people and revoked protections for transgender students in schools.
In another knife twisting event, it has been revealed by the New York Post that Trump has a bank account registered in China, the country he has been critical of US firms doing business with and has sparked a trade war between the two countries. The hypocrisy Trump shows is just dumbfounding! This is a man who wants everything, but gives nothing back. He was exposed recently as paying as little as $750 in Us federal taxes while the documents obtained by the New York post show his bank account in China has paid out $188,561 in local taxes, so for a man who detests China he sure has paid them a lot of money, not to mention the patents held by eldest daughter Ivanka in China. Come on America, you have one vote, so make it count and remove the corrupt first family from the Whitehouse on November 3rd and start the healing process which brings America back in to the world of sanity. All I can say is I have never liked Trump and regard him as a leech on society who has no morals, no dignity and definitely no patriotism, yet some moronic individuals believe he is the second coming. If he is the second coming, then please give him the same treatment afforded to the first coming, but this time just imprison him, there’s no need to physically crucify him.
On that note I will change shores and check in on dear old Blighty. Well as South Yorkshire has been ordered to roll out tier 3 rules as of Saturday the questions are been asked where is next? Would it not be quicker to just implement a nationwide tire 3 lockdown and work backwards stepping down to tier 2 and then tier 1 as less cases are reported in an area or is it purely a financial house of cards, so the government can restrict who gets aid and who doesn’t. It is now clear Johnson has no plan on how we will survive this pandemic as his three-year spending master plan for the length of the present parliament have been abandoned, in favour of a one-year review because of the economic chaos caused by Covid-19. I thought governments were meant to be fiscally prudent not fiscally inept! Johnson and his prime ministerial predecessors have done nothing to safeguard the UK against the possibility of such an event as we are in the grip of right now. Their disaster planning has been woefully neglected which is why we find ourselves as a nation in such a ‘SHITE’ predicament. We were put in to lockdown too late, we were eased out of lockdown too soon and the current ideology of a 3 tier lockdown is inadequate as hospitality venues close one by one and schools struggle to curb infections. What will be seen when looking back at 2020 in the UK will be a year of hell, a year where the economy crashed, a year where a generation’s education suffered and a year where the most inept Primeminister in history floundered and crashed on the rocks of politics due to indecision, U-turns and incompetence within himself and the people he chose to run the country in the highest offices of the land.
Meanwhile local authorities are been forcibly told to adhere to an authoritarian governmental mandate which has seen areas such as Liverpool last week, Lancashire on Monday, Greater Manchester yesterday and South Yorkshire starting from Saturday, put in to tier 3 lockdown. What this, at the present time is showing is an alarming north, south divide happening as nowhere south has been ordered in to tier 3 lockdown yet. The lockdown protocols are not working, Johnson cabinet is not working, and we need a dramatic shake up in government. How can we allow such authoritarian displays as we are seeing right now as the government uses bully boy tactics to send local area’s in to forced closure, surely there is an easier way where neither the economy nor the populous suffer? I don’t see members of parliament giving up their luxurious life styles and refusing to accept their extortionate monthly salaries, do you?
It is nearly nine months to the day since we heard about the first cases of COVID-19 on the shores of dear old Blighty back in January and over seven months since the lockdown in March, but while the commoners amongst us who couldn’t work from home have suffered with none or very little income the MP’s we elected to represent us have still been receiving their £6000 a month salaries. While most people struggled on as little as £94 pounds a week or are forced to use savings to survive, our so called political leaders have been languishing on £1400 a week, where is the justice in that? And now they are set to get a £3000 a year increase! I am sorry, but I believe there is some inequality going on in the nation today.
What the world is in the grip of is self-aggrandising and corruption in political heads of state who are profiteering off their positions to feather their own nest. It doesn’t matter which country you are in, there is someone profiting of your suffering whether it be at local, national or international levels. Until there is a purge of the illegal activities of world, national and local authorities, there will never be equality within many generations to come. We need to start at the top and bring down the corruption, going level by level implementing new safeguards until everyone is treated the same, no matter colour, creed, religious belief or sexual orientation. On that I will call it a day.
Rant you tomorrow!
