Friday 05/02/2020

So we’re moving on in to February with very little change happening. Governments are still refusing to understand the impact the pandemic has had on the poorest households of their nations while they sit pretty in their big houses and live the high life on their high salaries, not to mention the hypocrisy in the way they approach each problem with blatant blinkered views. Anyway let’s see what’s been going on lately shall we.

SO while President Biden tries to right his countries unstable ship, he comes up against an opposition hell bent on putting up brick wall after brick wall to slow down his task of moving the country on from the past four years of the Trump Administration. The biggest culprit who keeps on pushing his far right ideology on a daily basis is Senator Hawley, the same Senator who egged on the insurrectionists on January 6th, the same Senator who has declared the impeachment of Trump unconstitutional and the same senator who is still a pup in the eyes of the Senate because he is relatively green compared to a lot of his party who use their seats to quietly promote their own ideologies. The problem with American politics in my eyes is the fact that they allow such characters as Senators Hawley and Cruz, as well as Congress women Boebert and Greene to openly lie without consequence of action when they should be reprimanded or ejected from office. These individuals especially Hawley appear to be drumming up support from the Trump supporters for his own future interests rather being in the Senate to help legislate, he is a power hungry individual who will say and do whatever to get him noticed which he use to benefit his status instead of helping his constituents.

Now speaking of Congresswoman Greene, she is another type of crazy all together. She is true Trump acolyte if there ever was one. I suspect if Trump asked her to lead an armed assault on congress she would gladly obey. She is the type of politician who shouldn’t have even been elected in the first place going off her social media platforms which cry out insanity and anarchy. For a reasonably intellectual person and successful business person, she show a whole lot of ignorance and lack of common sense believing that her in your face politics will win over other representatives. This woman has only been in Washington a matter of weeks and she has alienated herself already. Taylor Greene is the type of politician the GOP needs to silence because she is not doing them any favours when it comes to headlines and the vote to expel her from committees is less than she deserves. Her past remarks which she tried to play down before the vote should also be used to expel her from Congress, but we all know that won’t happen because that would set a precedent for others to be expelled on past inflammatory remarks they made such as Hawley and Cruz’s incitement of the January 6th coup attempt. Politics is a dirty game, yet for some reason the way America sees democracy is so far above the line of insanity that it becomes looked upon as normal to preach conspiracy and lies rather than fact. Until the ‘BS’ is stripped away American politics will never be seen as the blueprint for democracy as they try to hold it up to be, leaving the non-democratic nations to use it as a blueprint for what not to do and why fascism and socialism is more preferable.

So the world waits open mouthed for not only to see what happens to Hawley, Cruz, Boebert and Green, but also to former President Trump as his impeachment trial is set to start come Monday. We all know it will just be a show for the cameras because the Republicans are too scared to step out of line in case they are targeted by Trump’s bully boy militia groups who have already stated there will more violence to come as Biden cracks down on them. These groups are too well represented within congress in the form of Congresswomen Greene and Boebert who are pro-gun with Boebert claiming to be a member of a militia while the Greene admits to carrying a concealed weapon. Should Trump in fact be impeached these groups need to be brought to justice before they kill any more innocent people just to further their ideologies. With the impeachment set to start Trump has declined to be heard at the hearing refusing to give evidence in his own defence. It is obvious Trump has been told not to give evidence as he is likely to say something that will hang him. He is a loose cannon that could explode in the faces of the Republican members of the Senate should his words be heard in person instead of through a lawyer, but as I said before we all know this will go no further than a hearing because there is already 45 Republican Senators who have voiced an opinion when they tried to get the impeachment nullified in a vote they lost and finding 12 more Republican Senators who want to see Trump convicted is a tall order especially when they are scared of the repercussions that could befall them if Trump is convicted of ‘Incitement’ over January 6th failed insurrectionist coup. All in all what the people want will once again be dismissed so power hungry and corrupt politicians can play ‘GOD’ instead of been seen to protect the people. In America there is no longer a body of politicians who serve at the pleasure of the people, Instead it is a body of self-serving power hungry egomaniacs who see themselves above everyone else and deserving of been worshipped.

On that note I will transfer my rant to the shores of dear old Blighty to see what ‘BS’ has been occurring here. As the vaccine rolls out there is still very little evidence that the infection rate is decreasing or the country is heading back to normality. I have to get my news through social media and news headlines because I am unable to watch Johnson when he does briefings as he garbles his words far too often. How can a nation have any confidence in a leader when they are unable to speak clearly and coherently? Johnson has to be one of the worst Primeministers we have ever had. He cannot think on his feet and the way he speaks is more disillusioning and does not portray a person with confidence in their ability to perform at the highest levels of politics let alone run a country. The briefings he and his lackey’s front do nothing to instil in me a confidence that we are moving forward and beating this deadly virus. All I feel is anxious for the nation’s future with just under three years left to be governed by this clownish buffoon. His style of leadership is questionable in that he doesn’t appear to have one and was voted in to power by blinkered individuals who chose the colour of his party rather than the person himself.

He is clearly disliked nationwide due to him lacking an air of authority, but rather a stature better suited to working in a fast food restaurant and that is been disrespectful to such a profession because many an individual who work in a takeaway would do a better job as primeminister than Johnson is doing. Not only is he destroying the links we as a nation have within Europe, he has systematically been responsible for over 100,000 deaths related to COVID because he failed to act quickly enough on stopping the spread and then opened up the country up far too early creating a second wave of the virus to take hold and mutate. Johnson has held the reins of government for just over eighteen months and Britain has seen the most deaths in one year since the second world war and fallen in to a bottomless pit of economic decline which will only get worse the longer we fight this pandemic and lose. Yes, you can say no other Primeminister has faced the same setbacks as Johnson in their first year of leadership, but you can also say a better leader such a Churchill would have rallied the country better and given us hope rather than discontentment and worry.

Johnson is a man that has no presence other than that of a unkempt individual in expensive suits, his mannerisms and body language do not signal an authoritative grace a leader should have, but instead come across as a person who wishes the briefing would just finish, so he can get back to something more important like his afternoon nap. Do not think I am suggesting I could do better, the opposite is in fact true. I just know my limitations as a person not overstepping my boundaries of knowledge and social abilities unlike Johnson and many other politicians of today who think they are invincible until they find out they are not and then try to bluff their way through causing pandemonium for the rest of us.

If the last year has shown us one thing, that is that humankind needs to re-evaluate who we listen to and promote to positions of power because nearly every leader of the world has fallen flat in their efforts to successfully navigate their nations through the year of hell we know as 2020, but America and the UK lead the way in the history stakes for having the worst leaders of all time in charge when a global pandemic breached their shores and did a piss poor performance of leadership when it came to righting the sinking ship they commanded. Into 2021 and America has a better Commander in chief steering the way ahead while we in the UK are been steered further towards oblivion and capsizing in to the pits of hell under out supreme leader. If nothing changes quickly dear old Blighty will just keep sinking till there is no way back from the brink of catastrophe. One final word today is that if America does not embrace their new outlook on the future under Biden and Trump walks free form impeachment again the future will look just as bleak for the land of liberty because Trump is a sore that will just not heal and will become more gangrenous, firstly in the 2022 Senate elections and then in the 2024 presidential elections. There will be nothing the Democrats or the Republicans can do to stop him from either running for himself or backing one of his family members for office. The way the former first family has subverted, corrupted and broken the law is a blight on the American judicial system and until people like them are convicted of their misdeeds, America will never be the land of the free and the home of the brave. It will be simply seen as the land of the lawless and the home of the corruptible just like the old west was or Chicago under Capone. On that note I will call it a day,

Rant you tomorrow!

Back Monday.
