England's Brexit party has gone off the rails just like Trump
It's like the two "movements", in reality just evanescent phenomena, upon discovering their political power went straight for the aisle where the stupid pills are kept and bought every last bottle.

There's strife in Iran
200,000 protesting fuel tax increases of 50% designed to pay for subsidies for 18 million poor. At least 143 killed. Perhaps 4,000 arrested.
731 banks, 140 government offices, 70 gas stations set ablaze.
50 internal security forces' bases attacked.
Maybe the rag-headed heathen bastards should stop funding nukes, rockets and terrorism instead.

Fox News knucklehead: Colombian government proposals "would likely exasperate inequalities"
The government’s proposal to slash the minimum wage, salaries, and pension funds would likely exasperate these inequalities and was also a driving force behind the uprising.
More here about the recent massive anti-government protests.
Another knucklehead here just very recently had Colombia on the top ten list of best places to retire in the world.

Libertarian kook John Tamny of Real Clear Markets twists himself into a pretzel about Katie Hill, writes a convoluted mess about it, as usual
Rep. Katie Hill recently resigned her congressional seat after, among other things, a romantic relationship with a junior male staffer was revealed. ... [C]onservatives should stand their ground by defending Hill.
See here.
Never mentions the throuple. Never mentions the abuse of power by one in authority over younger subordinates, both male and female. Never mentions she broke her marriage vows to her husband in the process. Never mentions she and her husband used Congressional staff as a hunting field for their personal kinky sexual predation. Never mentions some of it must have occurred at taxpayer expense, etc., etc., etc.

Elise Stefanik is on the side of The Body Snatchers' Donald Trump, not the one we voted for
The Trump we voted for promised a 10-point America First Plan which was ALL ABOUT IMMIGRATION, not climate, not tax cuts, not Obamacare, etc., especially ending DACA immediately by executive order and building NEW actual wall, not replacing existing with bollard fencing.

It's Trump statements like this on Hong Kong and Xi Jinping which keep me from supporting his re-election
"We have to stand with Hong Kong, but I'm also standing with
President Xi," Trump said. "He's a friend of mine. He's an incredible
guy. We have to stand, but I'd like to see them work it out."
Why stand with these brutal oppressors of freedom? Just so that we can trade with them?
Peggy Noonan thinks the purpose of conservatism is merely the preservation of the free market system, yet she supports Trump's impeachment.
She and Trump have more in common with each other than either of them does with real conservatism.
They are both thimble deep and symptomatic of the poverty of America's two party system.

It must be costing Hunter Biden a fortune to get Pocahonky to divide the Bernie wing of the party
Joe Biden was a key advocate for the financial bailout, which was
approved under the Bush administration and expanded under President
Barack Obama. He delayed his Senate resignation in January 2009 to cast
his final vote to increase funding for the Troubled Asset Relief Program
before taking office as vice president.
“These guys are not the most likable guys in the world,” Biden said
about the banks and hedge funds aided by the government intervention.
"But here are the facts ... Had we not bailed out the largest bank
institutions in the world, there would have been a flat-out depression.”
One of the firms that benefited was Rosemont Capital, a company led
by Hunter Biden’s business partners, Chris Heinz and Devon Archer. The
firm received the loans at a crucial time for Hunter Biden. The younger
Biden had stepped down from his lobbying business in late 2008,
reportedly due to pressure on his father’s vice presidential campaign.

It was kind of the ballgame.

Politico 1/11/17: Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire: Kiev scrambling to make amends after working to boost Hillary
Democrats colluded with Ukraine to get Paul Manafort and damage Trump and have tried to deflect this ever since by charging Trump colluded with Russia, which is exactly what you would expect to hear from people colluding with Ukraine.
You'll hear more deflection today from British-born Fiona Hill.

NYT Nov 5, 2019: Sondland text message in early September to Taylor said president was clear there was no quid pro quo
A crucial witness in the impeachment inquiry reversed himself this week ...
That admission, included in a four-page sworn statement released on Tuesday, directly contradicted his testimony to investigators last month, when he said he “never” thought there was any precondition on the aid. ...
Mr. Sondland had said in a text message exchange in early September with William B. Taylor Jr., the top American diplomat in Ukraine, that the president had been clear there was no quid pro quo between the aid and investigations of the Bidens. But Mr. Sondland testified last month that he was only repeating what Mr. Trump had told him, leaving open the question of whether he believed the president. ...
“I presumed that the aid suspension had become linked to the proposed anticorruption statement,” Mr. Sondland said.
In his closed-door interview last month, Mr. Sondland portrayed himself as a well-meaning and at times unwitting player who was trying to conduct American foreign policy with Ukraine with the full backing of the State Department while Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s lawyer, repeatedly inserted himself at the behest of the president. He also said repeatedly that he could not remember things, including details about the Sept. 1 meeting, according to the 375-page transcript of his testimony.
“And you had never thought there was a precondition to the aid?” one of the Republican investigators asked Mr. Sondland. “Is that correct?”
“Never,” Mr. Sondland said, adding that he “was dismayed when it was held up, but I didn’t know why.”

Marie Yovanovitch, Obama's US Ambassador to Ukraine, blocked visas for Ukrainian law enforcement in 2018 before Trump fired her in 2019
Ukrainian law enforcement officials believe they have evidence of
wrongdoing by American Democrats and their allies in Kiev, ranging from
2016 election interference to obstructing criminal probes. But, they
say, they’ve been thwarted in trying to get the Trump Justice Department
to act.
Kostiantyn Kulyk, deputy head of the Prosecutor General’s
International Legal Cooperation Department, told me he and other senior
law enforcement officials tried unsuccessfully since last year to get
visas from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev to deliver their evidence to
Washington.
“We
were supposed to share this information during a working trip to the
United States,” Kulyk told me in a wide-ranging interview. “However, the
[U.S.] ambassador blocked us from obtaining a visa. She didn’t
explicitly deny our visa, but also didn’t give it to us.”
One
focus of Ukrainian investigators, Kulyk said, has been money spirited
unlawfully out of Ukraine and moved to the United States by businessmen
friendly to the prior, pro-Russia regime of Viktor Yanukovych.
Ukrainian
businessmen “authorized payments for lobbying efforts directed at the
U.S. government,” he told me. “In addition, these payments were made
from funds that were acquired during the money-laundering operation. We
have information that a U.S. company was involved in these payments.”
That company is tied to one or more prominent Democrats, Ukrainian
officials insist.
In another instance, he said, Ukrainian
authorities gathered evidence that money paid to an American Democrat
allegedly was hidden by Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau
(NABU) during the 2016 election under pressure from U.S. officials. “In
the course of this investigation, we found that there was a situation
during which influence was exerted on the NABU, so that the name of [the
American] would not be mentioned,” he said.
