..And rest of family. Ummm...aren't you supposed to seek a pardon AFTER you have committed a crime? Well, it looks like an admission of guilt, hand caught in the cookie jar, and in the DNY investigations, pardon or not....SOMEBODY(S) going to jail. :) President-elect Biden will send a condolence letter I am sure.

Guilty of not sufficiently suppressing the vote. As it turned out the courts could not help the outcome.

He has an interesting idea of who or what constitutes the nation. What is even a little delightful is what he thinks of his supporters ('disgusting people'). Fascism looks like the future.

The words to Big Brother often come to me....'someone to save us, someone to follow, someone to shame us, some brave Apollo, someone to fool us, someone like you. We want you big brother' or something like that.

hur...

our prime minister is much beloved and hallowed be thy name. she chooses to share her power with the greens -- even though she need not becuase she won the election outright all hitler-like.

our election budget is $25,000 per candidate. Which is admirable because it means that anybody, anybody, anybody at all can stand. It is affordable like that -- see?

But we don't have regulations on donations. So some candidates get lotsa money from the milk people or the alcohol people or the horse racing people or the gambling people or the coca cola people or the oil people or the waiheke island (we pooooooooooooooooor impoverished rural community who needs allllllllllllllll the things in the name of equity we like long island or marthas vineyard we like rural australia pooooooor rural us boooooo heeeelping you helping you helping me!!!!!)...

so our prime minister gives the kids a lecture on how what's special about her is not selling out to the values she was taught as a kid...

but all the elected people take those donations. and he who takes mostest donations wins. so... there...

when you look at our list of international businesses that got hand-outs because of covid (including coca cola) you see where our present government (her by majority so her responsibility) got it's hand-outs.

_______

there was something i saw about how the... maybe the chief prosecutor?? of rhode island said that her prosectutors were not allowed to eat at certain restaurants in rhode island.

that was becuase there was a culture there whereby you would go to eat... and then you would go to pay the bill... and you would be told that the bill had already been picked up by the lovely wise-guy over in the corner there... and so it was a really impossible situation for public prosectors to be perceived as not on the take if they were to frequent the establishments where that kind of thing happened. Because once it's happened you feel a debt or an obligation or a duty or whatever to repay things somehow...

________

whether Trump was right or wrong that there was something wrong with the election he owed it to his supporters... He owed it to democracy... He owed it to republicanism... He owed it to Biden... He owed it to his opponents... To do everything he could to make sure that the election was true and fair to the best of his ability. He owed it to the people to challenge an outcome that went against him to the best of his ability... Even if he was fighting a losing fight he owed it to try. Like an Olympic Athlete who is destined to come last in the class... He gave it his all and nobody could fault him for that.

that was him doing his job.

So... Everyone is agreed: Biden it is. For the next however many years.

The psychology of this failing civilisation seems to be......."I live in a different world to you plebs, and will treat you like dirt. But I promise that I will treat the people you hate - immigrants, foreigners, the unemployed, liberals, etc, - even worse, and that will at least make you feel a bit better while we're screwing you over. I hate you, but hate those other people even more, and for that reason alone, you'll love me, because we can sneer at them together."

yes.

keep the middle classes fixated on oppressing the lower classes as the source or root of all their ills...

so the elite minority can continue to profit at everyone else's expense.

i think it is an attitude that is sourced from deprivation.

that is the assumption: that there simply isn't enough to go around so there's required to be a competition.

but nations like India and South Africa and New Zealand weren't able to get their sh*t together to get a vaccine developed and rolled out... They needed to rely on other nations to get that done. they couldn't do it themselves. if there were people in those countries with the capacity to do it... the conditions in the country didn't enable them to get on with the work.

likely too busy crying for food and housing...

That almost worked in the US election with the 7 trillion thrown at the stock market, and worked at the last election here, the issue at that time being franking credits.

Rupert is a fascist.

The spitefulness of putting disabled people to death in the last days of the administration reminds me of Germany and Russia back then. The firing squad is politics as aesthetics.

God help everyone if Biden blows it. What then? Tom Cotton?

Yes, Tom Cotton, or better, someone with more malleable conviction like Marco Rubio.
