Sadiq Khan Demands Mail-in Voting for London Mayoral Election
[Breitbart] London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called for the expansion of postal voting in the upcoming local elections, claiming that the "disproportionate" effect of the Chinese coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
on ethnic minorities and the elderly will reduce voter turnout.

Mr Khan has been serving as the unelected Mayor of London for nearly a whole extra year after the regular elections were cancelled in March of 2020 during the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a letter to Constitution Minister Chloe Smith, Khan demanded that the government fund the distribution of postal voting forms to every household in the areas having elections this May.

"I am still concerned at the potential for low voter turnout, given the circumstances under which the elections will be held," the mayor wrote, per The Independent.

#5  Oh, luvvies find London a wonderful place,
Of fun foreign food an utopia,
And mad Bangladeshis are always quite nice,
And ashes a bright cornucopia.

#6  The Woosters, we're told, had a code;
So too did Sir Roderick Spode;
And so does this blister,
This weak Owen sister
To whom, oddly, everything's owed.

#7  Do pray for today's Mr. Harker,
Dispossessed, poor damned wight, by Ms. S.,
That queen of the night
With the world-famous bite
Who's our literal dark Dorothy Parker.

#3  There is little doubt the independent lawyer has been chosen and will whitewash all allegations. If they can steal an election they can sure cover up for Cuomo.

#4  It's looking like they don't want to cover for him. Seems like a tipping point for Fredo's big brother

#7  Isn't gratuitous sexual harassment a constitutional right if you are a Democrat? I know it is in their jeans genes.

Joe Collins, defeated GOP challenger to Maxine Waters, vows to use ballot harvesting in rematch
Hitting back twice as hard?
[JustTheNews] Collins discusses his legal and political fights against Waters, the 15-term House member representing Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s 43rd Congressional District.

Joe Collins lost to Rep. The Ageless and Downright Brilliant Comrade Maxine Impeach 45! Waters
...U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 29.24730 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in the United States Congress, and a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 44.24525 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was a little brighter she'd be a Communist...
(D-Calif.) in the 2020 election. Now, the 13-year Navy veteran is fighting back against the 15-term House member representing California's 43rd Congressional District — both in court and at the ballot box. This time, he's fighting to win — and he plans to wage his battle using the other side's weapons.

#1  An elected official should have to serve hard time for lying and libel - they are trusted with a high office. Especially those who have been in office for awhile. Seeing Mad Max in prison for 5-10 would do everyone some good.
Posted by: CrazyFool || 03/01/2021 0:35 Comments || Top||

#2  Collins, a 13 1/2 year Navy veteran who hosts a program heard on KABC Radio, filed a complaint against Waters and her campaign in September. He accused them of falsely advertising, during the campaign, through printed material and radio commercials that he was dishonorably discharged in an effort to deceive the voters. The South-Central native states Waters knew that was a lie because in 2018 he met with her office to get help with his veteran benefits. The paperwork stated Collins served honorably receiving decorations and commendations.

#3  "If they bring a knife, we bring a gun."

Did I quote Obama correctly there?

#4  While hiding behind security. Perhaps behind children as shields.

Covid relief bill may trigger $36 billion cut to Medicare, higher student loan fees
Herewith, two facts and an assumption.
[CNBC]
  • A $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill backed by Democrats may trigger billions of dollars in cuts to Medicare and other federal programs, like ones supporting student loan borrowers.

  • Republicans are using the automatic cuts — caused by a law called PAYGO — to argue against the pandemic stimulus.

  • Congress can, and likely would, override those cuts, according to budget experts.
