Parliament should be closed on a Friday.
Most MPs are back in their constituency on Fridays, and you can't start passing laws when there's only a dozen MPs in the House.
Nothing much can happen on a Friday because there's hardly anyone there. But twitter just does not understand that.
Every fucking week. Week after fucking week twitter gets its knickers in a twist because some private member's bill got blocked on a Friday
I've told people this so many times. Parliament does not pass laws on a Friday, and the best thing is if people just ignore it because all they do is get themselves upset.
Private member's bills nearly always involve an emotional subject. But strong feeling and emotional subject have nothing to do with the problem of MPs voting laws when nobody is there

Shall we go through some of the protocols of the withdrawal agreement?
Shall we?
The European Union has produced a handy explainer covering all the main topics
ec.europa.eu/commission/sit…
A lot of it is admin stuff which I'm not interested in because I'm shallow and insensitive.
But it starts getting good on page 30

The transition phase will include all current and any new EU laws and obligations, minus voting rights
Okay, so that's a little bit bad. But wait till you see how bad it gets on page 42.

Both sides will use their best endeavours to complete a new trade agreement before the end of the transition phase, but there is no obligation on the European Union to provide it.

We all know there's going to be a general election. For fuck sake, you don't get any points for that.
What we have to figure out is when.
I wonder if we can. With no inside knowledge whatsoever, never having met a journalist or politician in real life, if we can figure out when the general election is going to be.
Theresa May is like a ping pong ball at the moment, back and forth, back and forth between Europe and parliament. Neither side willing to give.

We've had this conversation before.

Fridays? You know Fridays, all the MPs are away in their own constituency.

That's why parliament doesn't pass laws on a fucking Friday
I think it would be far better for everyone if parliament was shut on a Friday. Because week after week after fucking week you all get your knickers in a twist about some fucking private members bill
You are fucking unteachable. You can't have half a dozen MPs voting laws through when no one else is there.
No matter what moral crusade it might concern. You daft fuckers.

This post is as much about how to become a BIG SOCIAL "MEDIA" HOTSHOT as it is about Politics. However, you will have to stay with me till the end.
Post Nehru, Congress has been a coterie of sycophants of the Gandhi dynasty. The sycophants were cultivated by Indira Gandhi, who if not for her assassination, would perhaps not have acquired such haloed afterglow. And she cultivated her sycophants in the media too ...
Also many of the media owners and journalist latched on 2 her wagon. Owners of Navabharat, Lokmat, Rajasthan Patrika, Sakal, Deccan Chronicle were card calling Congress members or Congress Nominated Rajya Sabha members or hv been very openly conspicuous in thr support 4 Congress.

I recall my days as a kid in the 50s and 60s. Christmas was magical, exciting, ripe with meaning and love. Even the grinches kept it to themselves. Folks who didn't celebrate or recognize Christmas remained silent and let the rest of us enjoy it.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Liberalism - that's what happened. Those who imagine they know better about how to run your life than you do - they happened.

They spread, reproduced, ran for office, got power and damned if they didn't start passing laws, creating regulations, eager to run EVERYONE'S LIFE!
Oh, did I say 'run'? Maybe I should have spelled it 'RUIN'. Because that is what happens when our freedoms to live, love, and enjoy life as AMERICANS are destroyed.

Liberals are those naysayers, those Debbie-Downers, those people you go out of your way to avoid.

Screw it, let’s start passing laws making membership in the Republican Party a felony.
I mean if we’re playing the mean-spirited destructively hostile unconstitutional laws game, then let’s play.

Voters who belong to country clubs and homeowners associations are purged. They can re-register on Labor Day in a Planned Parenthood. From 5:00am to 5:45am.
If you want to itemize on an income of over $500k, you have to pass a drug screen. Every month. Fine of 75% of previous year’s annual income if you fail one.

“Nothing’s happening!” they said. “All the plotters are going to walk!” they said.

“They” were wrong. As usual.

Prosecutors in DC have been using a grand jury to investigate Andrew McCabe for at least 6 months.

And it didn’t leak.

Imagine that.
This wasn’t LEAKED to the Washington Post. The prosecutors were ready to take the case public. That means the grand jury’s work is pretty much finished.

Which means the unsealing of an indictment is likely imminent.
I can only imagine the pants being filled all over DC tonight as this news breaks.

"What's that, you say? A grand jury was impaneled in THIS town by US attorneys and it's bee investigating Andy McCabe for at least 6 months and I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT IT?"

IMO: we need MUCH TOUGHER laws on illegal-drug financing, manufacturing & whole-sale level distribution along with RICO enforcement. Retail level distribution & use consequences MUST BE DEFINITIVE and EQUITABLE in application across US.
.@ChuckGrassley @realDonaldTrump @POTUS

DEFINITIVE and EQUITABLE means that you can not throw the poor, the black, & other minorities in JAIL and the rich-white-kid gets help thanks to lawyers & parents.

Statistics suggest Lady Justice is NOT blind; that's a problem.
.@ChuckGrassley @realDonaldTrump @POTUS

Illegal-Drugs are harmful & deadly (like alcohol & cigarettes); some limited medical or recreational use.

Re-classify drugs as: NO-Medical-Approval-Drugs (NOMAD) for ATF sale (COMPETE, TAX, REGISTER, TRACK, EDUCATE, CONTROL & REDUCE USE).
