LOL: CNN calls US House vote supporting 2-state solution and opposing boycott, divestment, sanctions movement "divisive" when it passed 398-17
Roll call vote 497 is here.
The headline is correct in one sense, however: Both hard left and hard right are cracking up.
The former leader of the Rebel Alliance, Justin Amash, ignominiously abandoned the fight to vote "present" with four other courageous Democrats cowardly lions, leaving his wingman Thomas Massie of Kentucky to cast the lone Republican "nay" vote.
Massie strangely thought it a good idea to associate himself with the likes of Democrats AOC, Omar and Tlaib, apparently rushing to fill in for Squad member Ayanna Pressley, who inexplicably abandoned her compatriots and voted "yea", proving once again that the true meaning of libertarianism is the freedom to be anti-Semitic.

The roll call vote is here.
In sharp contrast to Donald Trump Boris Johnson fired everybody upon taking office, a sign he actually might succeed
A "brutal cull" not seen in 60 years.
Bush 41 did the same and ultimately failed because he betrayed Ronald Reagan, so we'll see, now won't we?
Labels:
Boris Johnson,
Brexit,
Bush 41,
Donald Trump 2019,
Ronald Reagan,
Theresa May
The guy held over 300 rallies in 2015 and 2016 where he pretty much kept saying the same old thing over and over again, so he became tiresome long ago to anyone who was paying serious attention
The pissing off came early and comes often because he's not delivering and now in fact is doing the opposite of what he promised.
His signature issue lies in ruins even as he's about to sign a spending bill the likes of which he promised he'd never sign again.
And we used to joke that Obama's statements all came with an expiration date. Trump's statements evaporate like self-destructing phone messages.

Newsweek's communist spin machine calls Bernie Sanders' cutting the hours of staff in order to pay $15 an hour "better hours"
Bernie Sanders Campaign Responds to $15 Minimum Wage Controversy with Better Hours for Staff:
Bernie Sanders will limit the amount of time his organizers can work to guarantee that no one is making less than $15 per hour
10 years after Santelli's rant against Obama's proposed bailout of your neighbor's mortgage, National Review pretends it was about deficit spending
You will search in vain in this article for the word "mortgage".
If the Tea Party had been about any one thing, it was about the moral hazard of bailouts. A sizeable minority of the American people perceived that bailouts made them chumps, dutifully following the rules and accepting their obligations while bankrupt businesses and bankrupt homeowners did neither.

By Brian Riedl, long-time research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, the article illustrates better than anything how the interests of establishment conservatism co-opted the Tea Party movement in 2011, just as establishment Republicanism co-opted Trumpism in 2017.
"Let's steal this energy and make it about something else".
Every. Damn. Time.
Horrified by Washington spenders, CNBC’s Rick Santelli stood on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on February 19, 2009, and called for a “tea party” to end the bailouts, stimulus payments, and red ink. Grassroots tea-party groups formed — further enraged by the later enactment of an expensive new Obamacare entitlement — and helped Republicans capture the House in 2010 with a stunning 63-seat pickup and also pick up seven Senate seats.
