My days of Zen were interrupted by the downgrading of the US credit rating by S&P……all weekend it was it is the Tea Party’s fault…..no, it is the Dems fault…..no, it is the Pres, fault because he had a birthday….nope, it is the Repubs fault for their uncompromising stance……finally, it is S&P’s fault for not understand the nature of American politics……
Please, shut the f*ck up and get to work! It is everyone’s fault….especially the dipsticks in Washington….it is the voters fault for trusting the typical lies of politicians……the blame game is being played because NOT one of the morons in the capital have any idea how to fix the sagging economy and the approach of a double dip…instead of working for what is best for the country…..let me repeat that…..WHAT IS BEST FOR THE COUNTRY……..they had rather sink back into their ideological cave and point fingers……
Take the GOP’s economic genius, Paul Ryan….the best he could do is blame the Dems and their spending….and then there is Sen. Kerry who blames the Tea Party and finally the Tea Party spokesmen just rattled on about nothing that makes sense, economic sense, that is……..in other words NOT one of these morons has any ideas….at all!
Once again, we are confronted with a government run off of talking points…….and not one of those points will solve the problem……and once again we are confronted by politicians that have NO interest in saving the country from ruin…..their only interest is their silly little talking points and their out dated ideology…..
The politicians have allowed this to happen…..the American voter has allowed this to happen. Why do we allow these twats to continue to allow these types of people represent us? I know someone out there will have a good answer…..for the life of me…..my thoughts are….we are just plain STUPID!
It is time for EVERYBODY to Shut the F*CK up and come together and find solutions to real problems and stop chasing those non-existent boogey men!
I say it again…….IT IS THE COUNTRY, STUPID!
ITA with you. STFU and fix it.
Hi Spinny…….but they will not…have you listen to the douche bags on the tellie today? Same old shit!
No I’ll definitely take your assessment.
Some douches are happy:
Tea Party Cheers for Downgrade
Spinny…I saw the cheering thing……nothing has been learned….talking points are all we have now….there mare NO solutions!
Naturally, I would never say “I told you so” but I did warn you a week ago that this was going to happen.
Sorry, but it was a foregone conclusion. The sad thing, as your excellent post points out, is that it has done nothing to act as a wake up call to anyone.
And yes, as you say in your comment above – same old shit!
We bloggers have been warning the idiot politician that all their game playing and partisan crap was going to cost the country and now they have what we predicted……I cannot wait for September when the douche bags return to Washington…….
How far are we from London-style riots, followed by a Soviet implosion?
Less than 5 years. As things are, we won’t see a 2016 election.
Hiya Jolly……Street protests……I say within 3 years……the implosion has begun now……
CAN WE GET ONE THING STRAIGHT, PLEASE. The London riots have FUCK ALL to do with protests. The rioters are 99% thugs and yobs that the EU law DOESN’T allow the police to SHOOT. If it was me, I WOULD hsoult them. It has NOTHING to do with poverty!
It’s ALL about young people being ASSHOLES and THEY represent the part of the current and future generations THE HUMAN RACE DOESN’T WANT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!
What it does make me wonder is if the so-called “freedom fighters” around the world aren’t just opportunist criminals, thugs and yobs…
Perhaps Syria should be applauded rather than criticised??? 👿
The media has done an excellent job to make it all about looters……few of us here know why they started but we do know that they are looting TVs….but if you are talking about my protest thing, then I am talking about the days of the ’60’s not the days after the Rodney King beating….there were differences.
In my view, you are dreaming, Chuq. This is NOT about poverty, bankers, jobs, or anything like that – it’s ALL about “spare the rod and ruin the child” and it’s the DIRECT RESULT of the namby-pamby politically correct shit that the do-gooders put forward and have been able to promote over recent decades – I repeat, THIS is the result and it was entirely predictable – in fact I HAVE BEEN predicting it for years. It’s just opportunist crime from little yobs who should be at home doing their homework!
If the police can’t control the streets, then it’s time for either the army to go in and shoot to kill, or we need decent people to get out into the community as vigilantes and do the same. We do not WANT these assholes in our societies!
But I repeat, this is NOT about deprivation, poverty, or even dissatisfaction with government. It is TOTALLY about thugs and petty criminals who want to control their streets. It’s the criminal gangs of New York or wherever – the Jets and the Sharks.
…or to put it another way – as usual, the UK is simply belatedly inheriting shit generated in the US.
Like I said….I do not know all the facts and I will accept your analysis of the situation in the UK….my only point was that the US media is focusing on the looting and that is all we get….that may well be all that is happening…okay I need to know just what about my post about politicians and people need to shut up and work on problems….to stop blaming each other for problems that are bigger than any individual….I was not speaking about the London riots I was speaking about the partisan BS in politics……
You’re DREAMING, man! IT IS NOT about the media – WE don’t have YOUR sort of media – YOURS is shit OURS is NOT.
Frankly, in my opinion, if you think that – then as far as I’m concerned, you can fuck off, Chuq! You are PART of the problem, NOT part of the solution.
PS: I don’t even know who Rodney King is, or was and I don’t much care. I live in the present, not the spaced out sixties.
Sorry, if I thoroughly pissed you off…never was my intention…..King was an LA man beaten by cops that lead to the riots, similar to the ones in London……so I understand what you say about thugs taking to the streets in search of electronic upgrades……I am NOT blaming the media for the riots just that some of the reporting is not complete…..
