The Politics Thread 3.0

So tempted to tweet that phrase back to him.

[Hypes]

As if anyone actually gives a gooseberry fool about Venezuela

[Memento Mori]

I imagine the 31 million Venezuelans living under a dictator probably do.

As if anyone actually gives a gooseberry fool about Venezuela

The largest known oil reserves in the world?

I think plenty give a gooseberry fool about that.

[Hypes]

No, I mean our self righteous media. I look forward to them railing against human rights abuses and poor conditions of the other countries in South America they can't name

[Memento Mori]

The Venezuelan president has just gone full dictator. As with Erdogan in Turkey, this is definitely a story which needs to be covered.

[Dual]

Why is this even a thing?

That's what I thought.

I happen to know a Venzuelan who said they had a rota of when the government were and weren't turning on the electricity in his town. Hes now emigrated to the USA.

Talking of which, Jeremy "Dialogue" Corbyn out in full force today in regards to Venezuela, before his usual deflection tactic of 'yeah, but both sides...'

All he has to do is condemn President Nicolas Maduro in no encertain terms, but he just can't do it. We've been here countless times before on a multitude of subjects and it's now beyond frustrating.

I find the unwillingness of the Corbynistas to see any problems more frustrating

Right wing or left wing, some people are just completely blind to their heroes faults.

When Trump announced he was standing for the Republican's as a Presidential candidate, I thought it was amazing. An utter buffoon from a rich, privileged background that was massively out of touch with normal people. "He's going to crash out of the nomination race early" I thought! "strawberry float, they selected him as candidate? LMAO! Clinton is going to wipe the floor with this fool!".

I for one welcome our new Rees-Mogg overlord.

I don't know who'd make the worst leader, Trump or Rees-Mogg.

To be fair to Rees-Mogg, he is actually reasonably intelligent so he wins that battle.

Trump claims victory anyway, tweeting incessantly about how well he did, regurgitating right-wing news outlets' headlines etc. Media soon baffled as to why everyone thinks he won, decides to call it a draw.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Conservative MP for North East Somerset, also criticised Clarks. "To call a pair of shoes for a girl Dolly Babe is dreadful. It's wrong in all sorts of ways ... this is just really silly," he told the BBC.

Spoken like a true leader.

Rees-Mogg will be a massive own goal for the Tories. I'm sure he would appeal to the 1922, but he would almost slaughter their vote share with anything under upper middle class.

People said a similar kind of thing about Corbyn... And it's okay to openly be a Nazi these days so 1922 apparently wouldn't put that many people off.
