A Very Special Relationship

 “We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special,” (a Romney) adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have”. 

May I point out that, if Romney had been the President of the United States yesterday, he would have succeeded in destroying that "special relationship" in one day.  He is a socially inept bully who enjoys humiliating people, and who doesn't seem to understand what happens when you deliberately try to humiliate whole countries. 

This man, who I just saw a commenter refer to as "the American Borat," did more to hurt our relationship with the British people in a day than the last five Presidents did all put together.

Of course, it's all okay with right wingers.  Bryan Kilmeade on Fox:

"the British press better back off, and so should the officials — this guy could be president." 

Yeah, they better back off, because if he becomes president, what?  He will deliberately make Britain our enemy because the British press hurt his feelings?  He has ways to get revenge if they say what they think?   What exactly is being suggested here?   And will he try to threaten the American press too?  Or is he so smug that he is sure they wouldn't dare oppose him if he becomes President?

And one final question:  How can anyone think it is a good idea to let this man anywhere near a position of responsibility?

Yes… we here in the rest of the world just love being told to back off and do what we’re told by some bullying Right wing wanker.

A little off-point, but I'd like to mention how much I loved the Brits gentle hints to a) China (results of industrialization), and b) U.S.A. (benefits of universal health care.) Very neat.

The Brits better back off with their fact-based reporting because here in conservative cuckoo-land it's been proven by Dinesh D'Souza, Michele Malkin and Erick Son of Erick that PResident Obama hates the Anglo-Saxons because the dead muslim ghost of his father ordered him to give back the bust of Winston Churchill.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
