"The United States has been a source for great evil and great good. It’s one of the more complex imperialist nations, but too many Americans dismiss this complexity and instead embrace fairy tale, cherry tree-laden narratives of American exceptionalism. Of course, Kevin McCarthy is far too simple for actual US history."

What an utter cess pit the #Canadian #nationalPost is...

Not once does this buffoon mention the god demanded genocides, the infant slaughters, rape, slavery (sexual and chattel) and animal (possibly human if some #bible scholars are right) sacrifice in the Tanakh or the terrorist actions by #zionists that ONLY stopped because they achieved their objective.

What utter garbage hourly fills the putrid minds of the world's right-wing.

Good gracious - heat is outrageous,

I guess I should be using my status

It is getting so hot.
You do something I will not
with temperatures high, you might wonder why
COP28 takes place in Dubai.
it's president is an oil company CEO
who might be hesitant to say "no" to
tightening rules on fossil fuels
when oil and gas just has to go
and thanks to me the UK is too slow
as we move away from net zero.

Our policy on energy usage
is like our rivers full of sewage

[Liz Truss]
I cut the funding,
let's stop sea bridge humping
Then water companies double their dumping

[Michael Gove]
To assist us missing our emissions goals
I could not resist a new mine for coal

[Rishi Sunak]
My green policies should be polished

[David Cameron]
Though he does recycle some old rubbish

It is getting so hot

It seems to me that the sexual respectability of male #conservatives has declined.

The "patriarchy is good, stay barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen" thing was always an issue. But "good provider, has a kitchen" flies with that flock of memes; it's a known deal-closer.

Not that anger was ever rare in conservatism, but #MAGA levels of foaming rage toward "the other" poses new problems for the #rightwing Lothario. Rage and the habits of disrespect are dangerous to #women, and they know it.

The news throughout America, chock o' block full of white nationalist extremists attacking Arabs and Jews alike, because they "look different" and speak a "funny language".

Maybe Arabs and Jews should get together and fight the real enemies.

My other tip is for to prepare yourselves for a barrage of claims from the #LibDems that they alone can win the seat from the #conservatives .

However, the far right populist politician Nigel Farage managed to bribe the #Conservatives that his party wouldn't run against their coalition government in the 2015 election if they promised an EU referendum.

Within 6 years he managed to convince 52% of the #UK to leave the EU citing a migrant invasion into Britain because of the EU's freedom of movement, & he succeeded. 😳

I can't help but to think that we are talking about two completely different things using the same words. The failure she is talking about is the failure of the #conservatives to destroy social security, eliminate health care and jail mothers and LGBTQ and rule everyone.
We view the failure of conservatives to represent the people, to work for responsible to programs that can better educate people, lead to lower health care and a cleaner environment as the failure to win anything.

#US #town #considers #banning all #publicart because some of it might be #gay.

It all started when a #Homophobic local #councilor complained at a #townmeeting about a three-piece #public #mural that had been #funded by a number of local #organisations, including a #Pride #group

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @ArtSmart I think it is the nature of people that call themselves conservative is to want to limit the human rights of everyone but themselves. The image of democracy loving benevolent conservatives helping along an orderly society is a myth written by conservatives about themselves. #conservatives #ConservativesReallyAreThatBad

Company gives £2m to Tories.

Buzzfeed finds evidence of potential corruption in the company's operations.

The UK authorities refuse to investigate but the buzzfeed evidence is pursued by the French and CEO and other executives are jailed.

This is as blatant a prima facie case of institutional corruption as you are likely to come across in our debased Tory Britain.

It will have escaped no one's attention that I am no fan of #Conservatives; but this interview with Sayeeda Warsi is genuinely interesting.

"Minister denies ‘cultural issue’ among Tory MPs after Crispin Blunt’s arrest"

England's education secretary Gillian Keegan clearly doesn't understand statistical significance.

#MikeJohnson's '#niceguy' #persona masks his deep-rooted #animosity towards #LGBTQ+ #Americans.

Operating under #evangelical principles, he believes they don't deserve #equalprotection under the constitution, relegating queer Americans to #secondclasscitizens.

For the most part, I do consider the vast majority of American conservatives to be belligerently misguided and deceived. They seem more likely to speak parrot "talking points" rather than to have original thought and a reasonable skepticism of media they consume.

Critical, rational skepticism is the bread of life along with love and charitable kindness. Without that bread, delusions abound. #conservatives

Although his #explosives did #destroy a #sign outside the church, he thankfully, managed to do very little damage to the #building. There were no reported #injuries.
