Many tiny moments of joy…
In the UK at the moment, the press is obsessing over a fat kid who’s mother feeds him too much of the wrong thing, and then blames others.
Good thing they are the only ones who don’t think too much food is bad, isn’t, it?
The press in the UK aren’t the only ones lazy. Very few American news sites seem to have picked up that the idiot shrub has passed a bill empowering him ever closer to martial law.
This latest one allows him to call out the national guard from one state, and put them into action in another without asking, or even informing those state’s governors that he was doing so.
The exact phrase is “in order to suppress, in any State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy”
Erm, that’s what the Police are for, George. And, until you repealed the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, it was illegal:
“Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both”.
Here in sunny Blighty, we obviously don’t have to worry about the prospects of a power mad wannabe dictator cancelling the next elections. I wonder if I can put a bet on that…
We, instead, have a government who seem committed to removing any prospect of our nation from not being dependant on everyone else.
Rock and roll.
