He is the sole reason Democrats have control of the Senate without needing the VP there daily.

 

Promise you he is more moderate than Jim Justice will be. He's the only Dem that will be viable from WV for many years.

Despite the desperation from these utter ghouls (the press and the Cremtins who read it) to stoke the fire of hatred and conflict.

That would be somewhat more misleading. Only 34% said that with the reminder saying don’t know.

The demographics of the senate mean lengthy Republican control is likely coming.

At the Cenotaph, so couple of miles away from the protest.

Sunak being precious and relying on the fact that most UK citizens are too dumb to research.

 

Yes, that's what I thought.  Protest march is on Saturday, main remembrance event on Sunday.  More fear and antagonism being deliberately stirred up.

I'm a bit confused. What happens in London on Armistice Day?  The main ceremony and parade takes place on Remembrance Sunday, not Armistice Day.

*Possibility of zombie apocalypse now being considered by Home Office.

(*not true...yet).

 

Also worth noting the march isn't taking place until midday, which is an hour after the 11am silence and the main events of the day. It's your typical Tory culture war, big on bombast, low on facts.

Joe Manchin says he might run as third party candidate of presidency.

yeah, he votes with democrats like ~70% of the time, and I like the IRA bill. Honestly, I found it useless to complain about him; he wasn't replaceable like a Sinema (AZ) is.

Not for the first time, Jonathan Pie says it better than anyone, this time about Suella Depraverman.

Yeah, Tory MPs definitely shouldn't go to the press to point out their party's utter trashing of our democratic and constitutional principles. But it's perfectly alright for the Home Secretary to go to the press to trash the police. Good to see there are at least some Tories out there who think democracy and constitution mean more than scoring political points and stirring hatred.

"Colleagues" - makes them sound as though they work in Sainsburys.
