What Do Indian Politicians Have To Say About Rishi Sunak’s Elevation As UK Prime Minister? – Benzinga
OK. Good for UK I guess. Wasn’t he Boris’ Chairman of the Exchequer? Another Conservative, but one who might not sound like a screaming Mimi on the floor of Parliament. Shitty conservative policies coming from a polite person. UK decline marches on.
You got it Pogo. Somehow me thinks there’ll be another general election soon. Labour is 30 points ahead in the polls.
In other news, Now This:
Adidas answers Kanye West’s question, “Now what?”.
Interesting to see how West will now rap out of the other side of his mouth.
depending on if Rishi continues UK’s big support for Ukraine, he may motivate India to move off the dime and help out too (much to the dismay of putie).
where did/does he stand on brexit? that’s another fine kettle of worms they got themselves into.

So Great Britain has a Prime Minister who is 1, not a Christian, that is a first and a from an ethnic minority that has been the focal point of much white nationalist angst in the British world.
It could get interesting.

If California was a nation, it would now be no. 4 behind the US, China and Japan, edging out Germany.
On the subject of the day, Who Is Rishi Sunak? UK’s First Hindu Prime Minister – Bloomberg
Just another of the “only the little people pay taxes” cult. My guess for the office poll is four Scarramucci’s and then the white nationalists kick him out.
A significant day in my computer world, I am tearing down one of my old servers. Time to copy all the hard drives to backup server and strip out the components I need for other computers. Some of the drives are from pre-2010. That is a long time ago in computer lifespans. Too bad the power supply croaked, and the motherboard is from 2012. Ancient machine, holding lots of memories.
WTF were they thinking? Wapo.
It’s bullshit like this that gives Republicans talking points and makes holding a party together and WINNING MIDTERM ELECTIONS difficult. Did they fucking miss Polysci 101?
All of those Texas MAGAts who are afraid liberals will turn Texas into another California. Ha! And this is despite Rick Perry enticing companies to relocate from CA to TX.

Voted for Beto and every other Dem on the list. There were dozens (pages) of offices that are uncontested and one seat that nobody wants. I should’ve written in my own name.
Adidas only dropped Ye because their stock prices started to suffer. What about everyone else who Carrie’s his products, including his music?
Slava Ukraine- all of it
640,000 early votes in Pennsylvania so far, a midterm record. 73% D, 19% R. 57% women 42% men. Alito Surge! (CNN)
Wisconsin early voting started today. Quarter million showed up, another midterm record. 42% D, 29% R. 56% women, 39% men
“Did they fucking miss Polysci 101?”
pogo, not only missed that day but also the one about why defunding the police might not work so well as a campaign slogan during crime waves.
Remember, Dems tend to vote early and Repugz day of, so…but let’s hope this trend holds.
General Winter is coming …………..
Two stories today , Putin calls a meeting of his logistics generals .
Canada has shipped 500,000 sets of winter gear to the Kranes, along with the Germans and other NATo members .
NATO has been training the Kranes for months for this winter , and preparing for the winter.
I wondered why the Russians didn’t smash their grid before the lawn mower drones . I guess he thought he would win, and need the juice .
A long hard winter ahead , but a deadly one for all those “Ivans” in a trench . I don’t think Putin ever heard of ” trench foot” , he’s about to get a hard lesson shitty boots , and wet socks.
Putin failed to learn the lessons of history on his own ground .
” If your going invade Russia bring your heavy wool coast.”
Napoleon , and Hitler both thought a quick victory would carry the day . So Putin invaded in March sure that would give him the time .
Hitler thought he could ” Kick In the door and the whole rotten house would cave in. ”
These guys never learn .
Also, won’t exit polls just help Repugz get out the vote?
OM – Winter gear is great, but Russia is also targeting their water supply. I guess they will have snow, so maybe not a complete loss of water. Why isn’t the UN, NATO, the rest of the world (except communist China and NK) solved this already? Any success Poo-tin gets will embolden him to go further. The vampire is in the house and only one thing will turn him to dust.
Another history lesson ……..
This one that Lib Letter today, Chamberlin holding that piece of paper with Hitler’s signature .
” Peace in our time “
The exit polls ………..
I want to see the 18 to 30 numbers , and the Black turn out.
Well there is indeed a ” Pink Wave ” . As for “polling” the cell phone tower screwed that pooch.

“Sunak will not only be Britain’s youngest leader for 200 years, he is the country’s first non-White prime minister. And thanks largely to his wife Murty, Sunak will be one of the richest people to reach the top of the political establishment.”
“Murty has a 0.93% stake in her father’s Indian software company, Infosys, worth approximately $715 million. That represents the bulk of the couple’s estimated net worth of £730 million ($830 million), according to the Sunday Times Rich List, an annual ranking of the wealthiest people in Britain.”
“Even Queen Elizabeth wasn’t as rich – the Sunday Times put the late monarch’s net worth at £370 million (about $420 million) before she died.”
Biden/Harris, I was almost the only white person in line and it was out the door and down the parking lot.
Today, almost everyone was white or of Indian origin, and the line was short. The few black people there were women, except one guy. Also, everyone looked to be at least 70. A very grey crowd.

Pointing out that Fetterman had a stroke is not an answer to every question, or to any question.
People are not fleeing their homes on a whim , they are leaving because to stay is to die.
This fact has never entered our debate.
That is the is the root of the problem .
All over the Earth.
Watch the water here , to stay is to die .
