[DW] All the major political parties are represented in the top-level Presidium of the Bundestag, Germany's parliament, except one: the far-right AfD. Is that fair, or democratic? Germany's top court is examining the case.
Neither fair nor democratic. It would also help if the in-group traditional parties of the left and right — including the totalitarian hard-left Communists/Greens — would accept the difference between conservative populists like Alternativ für Deutschland and crazy totalitarian, slightly-right-of-Communist neo-Nazis. In the meantime, it isn’t just Trump they hate, but their own populists as well. I’m betting that the court votes against AfD, but would love to be surprised.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists... is set to leave her caretaker role next month when a new coalition government is expected to take up the reins. Social Democratic (SPD) politician Bärbel Bas will then be Germany's highest-ranking female politician, having been sworn in as parliamentary president, the country's third-highest office, in late October.
[GP] On the anniversary of the 2020 election steal, Republican lawmakers Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Louie Gohmert visited the DC Gitmo to visit the Jan. 6 political prisoners.
They were denied entry at first by the prison staff.
Several American citizens are being held in DC Gitmo for participating in the Jan. 6 protests at the US Capitol — where four Trump supporters lost their lives, one being shot in cold blood.
These prisoners are denied their God-given rights under the US Constitution and are beaten, abused, and placed in isolation for their political beliefs — in America.
On Saturday The Epoch Times posted more on the abused Jan. 6 prisoners.
According to court filings, the abused political prisoners were removed from the DC prison on stretchers after the assault by the guards.
Multiple Jan. 6 defendants were taken out of their cells on stretchers on Thursday, according to a court filing.
The situation started when one of the defendants refused to wear a mask, family members of Kelly Meggs, who is being held in the D.C. Jail, told Meggs lawyer.
Prison guards began spraying a chemical substance described as "some kind of mace or pepper spray, according to a filing in federal court.
"They sprayed mace or some type of gas at an inmate and kept missing so it went into an intake that fed into other cells and the lady with the key left because she didn’t like the gas, so the inmates in the cells who were being fed the gas from that intake were locked in for like 15 minutes while it was going into their rooms and they couldn’t see/breathe," the family told Jonathon Moseley, the lawyer.
More than one of the defendants was taken out on stretchers to medical bays.
Julie Kelly, a writer for the American Greatness, reported on Wednesday that prison guards filled an area of the jail with chemical spray and three detainees had to be taken out on stretchers.
In America, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty — unless you are a Trump supporter.

Will get o help from the ACLU, helping these people doesn't fit their real agenda.

The ACLU is an umbrella organization with its chapters doing what they bloody well feel like. Which is supporting lefty causes and the rare (quote)wacko 'Right Wing' Extremist(un-quote) so they can simultaneously claim 'nonpartisan virtue' while showcasing a strawman caricature of their political foes.

They need to hold the low level folks responsible for this stuff and not just give them all a pass and go after the high level individuals. send a message that unconstitutional acts will be punished and potential treason will be investigated and possibly result in the harshest penalties.
[Breitbart] Former President Trump trounces his potential competitors in a hypothetical 2024 Republican Primary matchup, a Zogby Analytics survey released Friday found.
The survey asked respondents, "For whom would you vote if the Republican Primary or Caucus for President was held today?"
Trump takes a dominating lead, as over half, 59.1 percent, chose the former president. No one else even came close, as former Vice President Mike Pence fell 47 points behind with 12 percent support. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in third with 7.4 percent, followed by former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley (5.2 percent), former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (2.2 percent). Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (1.6 percent), Sen. Ted Cruz (1.5 percent), and Marco Rubio (1.3 percent). Over 5 percent said they are "not sure," and 4.3 percent indicate they would vote for somebody else:
The survey, taken October 8-10, 2021, among 371 likely Republican primary voters, has a margin of error of +/- 5.1 percent.
Similarly, the survey asked the same among likely Democrat primary voters and found Biden leading with 40.2 percent of the vote. Former first lady Michelle Obama came in second with 20 percent, followed by Vice President Kamala Harris (9.8 percent), failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams (6.3 percent), California Gov. Gavin Newsom (4 percent), and Sen. Cory Booker (3.6 percent).

Former first lady Michelle Obama came in second with 20 percent
Here come Da Wookie.
The Agnew-Ford precedent gives them a blueprint. First, Perv Magoo will push Kackala out of her VP slot -- send her to Paris as our new Ambassador to the Rive Gauche boutiques -- and replace her with Big Mike.
Then Biden resigns and becomes Headmaster of Miss Porter's School for Girls.
And Big Mike becomes America's first intersectional POTUS. Dr Jill becomes the new VP.

I’d vote for Desantis over Trump because he would be far more effective at dealing with the deep state and it’s minions in the press. Truth is Trump sucked at draining the swap. Starting with appointing Sessions and leaving people like Wray in place, and his utter failure to roll heads at FBI, CIA, NSA, Justice, and flag rank in the military that resisted or slow walked his orders and policies. Plus he was too foolish to resist personal provocations and becoming side tracked, unlike Desantis. My hope is Trump is satisfied playing king maker, or better yet, run for Congress and become Speaker of the house, a far better role for his performance oriented persona. Imagine that. President Desantis and Speaker Trump. McConnel and the GOPe wouldn’t know what hit them, and they steamroller the progressives and RINOs

I've never been able to figure out how Trump had so many really bad backstabbers in his administration. Lots of them were people who had no obvious reason for ever having been chosen in the first place (Omarosa, Scaramucci, Grisham) or maybe could be argued to be qualified but obviously didn't work out so well (McBastard, Sessions) There's a story in it somewhere.

Along with his fundamental shrewdness in sizing up rivals and situations, Trump has an incurable attraction to endless drama of the reality-show variety. Omarosa, Scaramucci et al. we're like characters from The Apprentice crossed with Survivor.
With a bunch of character actors in supporting roles for the comedy-drama: Mattis as Sarge, Tillerson as J.R., McMaster as Don Rickles-Turgidson, Stormy as Ginger and Hope Hicks as Mary Ann...
[Fox News] It's time to pass the baton of PPOTUS (PPOTUSPants Pooper) to #FJB. Democrats fear voters could see brown red wave in 2022 midterm elections
New York Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler may be concluding his nearly 30 years of congressional service at the end of his term in 2023, according to reports Saturday.
Lots of rumours about that kind of thing, on both sides of the aisle.
Fox News could not immediately reach Nadler for comment, but according to a Hill insider, Nadler has not decided whether he will seek re-election in 2022, reported the New York Post.
"People are wondering when he would decide to retire," the source said. "He has a fighting spirit but maybe now is the time to exit."
Though Nadler is unlikely to face fierce competition in the 2022 midterm race if he decides to run again, the staunch Democrat may not want to continue the fight with the prospect of losing the House to the GOP.

Remember the tug of war over a microphone in the impeachment circus with Adam Schiff? Nadler may be thinking that after all the hard work kissing posteriors was wasted... so it is a good time to quit.
