When you see the way the press is treating Joe Biden for aging in public, you see how they could treat Donald Trump for committing fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection and never, ever will.

Yet if you read the article she still has managed to learn precisely nothing from her time as minister, her utter shitshow as PM, AND her electoral defeat. She is, indeed, a cabbage.🥬

Useful for the next few NZ elections.
…Especially if the public turn on the NACTCOOKER coalition for their overt power grabs & corruption, & Luxon gets angry at the bottom feeders criticizing his hollow, business-fellating faux-governance…
There’s no rage like incompetent privilege rage.

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

Perfect summary.
Worth a read if you want to understand Luxon and his mates.
It’s not exactly equal to this (because USA) but the same basic processes apply if you met Kings/Grammar boys circa the 80s to 90s. I have a large collection of horror stories.

It’s all so obvious in retrospect once you pack the court completely against the will of most voters, you need fascism to retain that control. So why wouldn’t they just go for it?

Would pay good money for Biden’s press release this morning to be:
“As an official act as Commander in Chief I’m putting together a military target package for corrupt Justices Thomas & Alito.
I will have a list of replacements ready for confirmation.”

On the same morning, the Court said: 1) We should not presume to know more than small town mayors regarding complex, technical questions like whether to arrest people for being poor. 2) I don't see why a "PhD" in "nuclear physics" should have any latitude to implement ambiguous energy rules.

It seems to boil down to 2 extremes with an impossibly large number of nebulous factors, beliefs, pet ideologies & personal ambitions to weigh: 1) Polls are baked in & changing candidates gains no votes but spits the party & 2) Replacing him would secure independent & soft R votes & unite party

Similar comparison: Democrats treated as adults: Responsible, sensible, accountable & capable of shame & self-reflection “Must do better” Republicans treated as over-tired toddlers: Whiny, angry, destructive, hate rules, irrational, cruel & incapable of shame or self-reflection “What can you do?”

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

I can’t believe how massively, arrogantly and ridiculously deluded, out-of-touch and entitled those pricks have become. Watching any of them try to “relate to the common poor people” or fake sincerity has been a sick joke. I hope they don’t win a single seat. Corrupt, venal fuckers.

I think the reason Philip K Dick is still the predominant SF writer of the last century is, he was the only one who foresaw a future where everything would be boring, inconvenient and dehumanising, and where the only way you can win is to somehow refuse to give up your humanity.

Can’t wait for a NZ where the private prison industry starts bribing politicians and judges to:
1) ignore subhuman conditions/food
2) put more people in prison for minor offenses
3) change laws so more crimes require prison time.
