Bullying inquiry 'found evidence Priti Patel broke ministerial code'
[link:https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/nov/19/boris-johnson-expected-to-rule-on-priti-patel-bullying-claims-within-weeks|]
In any other era than this any Secretary of State would be made to fall on their swords for this. But here we are in the post truth era and nothing will happen. Nothing. And she will feel empowered to keep bullying, cause none of them are ever held accountable and they really do believe that the rules do not apply to them. Queue the tory toadies flooding the airwaves today after being bullied into defending her bullying...
...things have to be very bad indeed for a Cabinet Office enquiry to find fault in a minister
https://twitter.com/nickmacpherson2/status/13295584715750400012 thoughts of the day. Bullying at work is never justified: it can cause huge misery for those affected and their families. In my experience, things have to be very bad indeed for a Cabinet Office enquiry to find fault in a minister -the system is rigged to conclude the contrary.
Bullying inquiry 'found evidence Priti Patel broke ministerial code'
Boris Johnson, the sole arbiter of the rules, is expected to release a decision on the inquiry within weeks but it is not likely to demand the home secretary’s resignation.
Sources familiar with the inquiry said it had found evidence that civil servants were treated poorly by Patel, as well as compelling evidence of bullying.
Pressure on the prime minister to sack Patel is growing as a result of claims of bullying and harassment from civil servants in three separate government departments.

She is NOT holding back...
Boom. Boom. Shake the room.
Republicans at this point wanting to emulate a third rate dictatorship, being polite is not going to be the ticket back to a stable democracy.
PREACH!

Georgia secretary of state reveals Trump 'suppressed' GOP voters: 'He would have won by ...
... 10,000 votes’ Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Tuesday said that President Donald Trump had himself to blame for losing the state’s electoral votes in the 2020 election.
Raffensperger told WSB’s Justin Gray that 24,000 Republicans who voted by absentee ballot in the primary did not cast votes in the general election.
The secretary of state linked the lack of participation to Trump’s effort to demonize mail-in voting.
“He would have won by 10 thousand votes — he actually suppressed, depressed his own voting base,” Raffensperger said.

Biden is already impacting on the behaviour of right-wing populist leaders...
Everyone who has sucked Trumps balls hard in the international order is being terribly quiet right now. They are shitting their far-right populist panties now that a grown up is back in charge. We are seeing this right now in the UK. One big theory of why Cummings got the boot from Number 10 is cause Biden. The theory goes that Johnson was happy to let free the pestilence that was Cummings while Trump was in charge because the Trump/Putin combo loves chaos to rain down. This allowed him to go hard line Brexit, breach international law etc et al, as Trump was never going send him to the naughty step over any of it. Biden on the other hand… well let us see, he has already stated that if we breach the protocols of the Good Friday Agreement then we can sing for any kind of trade deal. That means the Cummings approach of burn it all down in a no deal Brexit cannot fly. Hence, he was sacrificed in recognition that what they had planned cannot go ahead if the special relationship is too remain special and get a desperately needed trade deal for post Brexit optics. Right wing populist Bo-Jo backing down by binning Cummings and singling to the new administration that they will start playing nicely? Makes sense. I wonder who will be next?

I would go with assault rather than harassment but otherwise spot on... pointing out he is both a loser and a predator in one pithy sentence. Genius.
It's ALL in the numbers!!

Does someone want to break it to her that she did vote for an actual fascist.. and his attempted hostile takeover after the majority told him to fuck right off is going as well as anything he touches... which means thankfully for the rest of the world very badly indeed.
After all, Trump cult be like..
As if on cue, drum roll please ladies and gentleman, for as the fascist in chief as he again reaffirmed his commitment to fascism by going on a twitter war late last night, and a call to action by the DC cops, who he seems to think are his very own brown shirts, to go and crush the skulls of anti fascists.

The dying wails of a fascist and his fascist cult. Desperately trying to get rid of democracy because it turns out fascists aren't that well liked by people who like freedom and choosing their leaders for themselves. Go figure. 👀
I love the smell of fascist tears on a Sunday morning... hehe

This is where they are now...tweeting in explicit support of fascism & coups & shit
https://twitter.com/jaredlholt/status/1327822010848829442Going to be thinking about this next time I see GOP figures tweeting out Gateway Pundit links. Cassandra Fairbanks, a prominent figure at the outlet, has been tweeting in explicit support of fascism tonight. Now, she's deleting all her tweets to hide evidence/avoid a ban

President Donald Trump lashed out at “Antifa scum” after 11 p.m. on Saturday night
“Antifa” is short for “anti-fascist” — and Trump has consistently said he is not anti-fascist — in a seeming double-negative admission.
His comments came after he urged his supporters into the streets of Washington, DC — a city he lost by 87.4 points in the election he lost. The were not warmly received.

“They gave Pandora a box. Prometheus begged her not to open it. She opened it. Every evil to which human flesh is heir came out of it. The last thing to come out of the box was hope. It flew away.”
Cummings the man who sucked all the hope out a getting a decent trade deal then walks out of the front door like the attention seeking wanker he is. Senior No10 official on this photo:"That’s the last time he walks down the road like Kim Kardashian, preening for the cameras like the spoilt lord of Barnard Castle. In future advisers will go round the back and let the elected prime minister use the front door." Heh
And of course, as we now know, labelling Carries Symonds Princess Nut Nuts is not at all patronising and misogynistic.
On a lighter note I think we may have found Q!!
Oh Pandora!
