@flexghost We've witnessed similar idiocy in the UK. Boris 'Shagyetti' #Johnson greeted the covid pandemic burbling about "herd immunity", then ambushed hospitals with his entourage maskless and enthusiastically shaking hands with all-comers. Then he went down with it, & was off-work for a few days while the nation held its breath. Then returned to work claiming "he nearly died" but swiftly moved on to open the party conference season (just without the conferences #partygate ). Have fun America.

#LAWildfires:

I smell a rat somewhere! 🤨 😠

The #farright uses people's inculcated 'biases'; LYING abt local/state govt officials bc of identity/identities.

IMO, I'd urge everyone to be on the watch for #corporatemedia idiots who pseudolib-wash far right narratives and dogwhistle bigoted bullshit.

A mayor giving $$ to pigs 🐷 🐷 :acab: & cutting money to the #LAFD is a bad decision. There are many knobhead politicians from all identities all over the world who chummy-up to pigs 🐷.

Also #fossilfuel, #climatechange #capitalism collectively play a role (see #DemocracyNow last week about LA fires).

So many knobs to choose from but here's one: #Partygate during the #COVID crisis. Last I checked, #BoorishJohnson was not from a marginalised group.

So, the 'rat' , to me, is the #rightwing/#extremeright repeating their bigotry over and over, hoping to have an effect on the psyche of the public which they hope result in support for #racist #sexist & #antiLGBTQIAplus far right policies, laws, etc.

It's the right who kvetched abt taxes, immigrants & being 'replaced', 'welfare queens', etc. which brainwashed voters (of various backgrounds).

“Treasury officials may have broken the law when they failed to alert the Office for Budget Responsibility about £9.5bn of spending that should have appeared in the March Tory budget, MPs have been told”

…Creative accounting ?

Surely not

@Mob64 Oh dear. Seems like she failed to comprehend the significance of #partygate as a cipher for the Electorate. British Citizens expect their rulers to follow the rules. Especially the rules the rulers themselves have ordained. It is absolutely basic stuff. If she understands so little, her tenure will be brief indeed.

“ “I can see the right honourable gentleman’s ears have pricked up,” she said, looking at Rishi Sunak, before setting out the details of the change. “That is equivalent to £450 per passenger for a private jet to, say, California?” she added, getting a decent number of laughs “

The Independent · Budget: Rachel Reeves mocks Rishi Sunak with private jet announcementBy Holly Patrick

“For his final question, Sunak celebrates Britain's 'kindness, decency and tolerance' “

…can’t recall the tories showing any 'kindness, decency and tolerance' over the past 14 years

So off to Santa Monica on Sunday ?
