You thought U.S. politics were weird, right? Well, the cross-party, anti-Brexit, pro-EU Remainers in the U.K. parliament have dealt the British public a double dose of duplicity. By a margin of 328 to 301, they have voted to block a no-deal Brexit on October 31 (thereby removing the country’s primary bargaining chip to get a good divorce agreement) and also have voted against Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call for a snap election to resolve the impasse.

U.K. Prime Minster Boris Johnson has moved to temporarily suspend — or prorogue — parliament, the Westminster-based House of Commons in London, apparently to thwart meddling by pro-Remain, anti-Brexit lawmakers.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is currently meeting with European leaders in an effort to reach a Brexit deal by the current October 31 deadline. On June 23, 2016, the British electorate voted to leave the European Union and reclaim the country’s sovereignty over laws, trade, and immigration, but the divorce decree still hasn’t been signed. Although there is some equivocation, grandstanding EU officials, so far, seem less than receptive to reopening the negotiations.
Since the inconclusive (to say the least) July 24 Robert Meuller testimony, the media center gravity has switched back from Russia collusion to leveling charges of racism against President Donald Trump. Evidence for Trump as a racist, according his foes, includes that he used term “very fine people” in the aftermath of the Charlottesville protest that tragically turned deadly.
The media’s assessment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s July 24 testimony about Russiagate on Capitol Hill changed considerably within 48 hours of its aftermath. News outlets and pundits hostile to President Donald Trump (are there any other kind?) initially described his out-of-touch, uniformed presentation as a disaster. It was a disaster for those beating the impeachment drum, anyway.
With all the focus among the media and political class on Russian interference in the U.S. electoral process, are these “watchdogs” ignoring China’s ambitions with their witch hunt obsession? China continues to rapidly expand its powerful economic, political, and military tentacles all over the world.
With sometimes impulsive, inflammatory tweets that create needless feuds (and inevitable accusations of all the “isms”) plus the resulting negativity in media and political precincts, President Donald Trump often obscures the actual accomplishments of his administration so far and needlessly elevates several of his foes.
Brexit Party leader and European Parliament member Nigel Farage has noticed that new U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson uses similar rhetoric as U.S. President Donald Trump.
By virtually all accounts, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the “author” of the Mueller Report, came across like a uniformed, absentee landlord in his Capitol Hill testimony on Wednesday about alleged Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 presidential election. As such, the momentum among House Democrats for a Trump impeachment as a result of this disaster seems to have stalled.
Trump’s ‘Go Back’ Tweet Was a Bigly Unforced Error
It’s difficult to believe that U.S. President Donald Trump was playing 3D chess when he tweeted out last Sunday that several radical, first-term Democrat Congresswomen (now known as the Squad) should go back to their home countries. The POTUS apparently forgot that when your opponents are fighting among themselves, you should get out of the way.
