Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6case in point the american activist "free" jeff leurs who set fire to 3 SUV's (subsequently repaired and resold!) in protest over enviromental issues. He got 22 years hard time which was more than various hard core criminals, rapists and even the local axe murderer who only got 14 years!!
I don't agree that it is as simple as the austerity measures but it is about disempowerment, hopelessness and a whole culture of consumerism and individuality combined with a huge gulf between rich and poor and a breakdown in our value systems which is passed on to our children.
They were bored kids, amoral, feeling powerless and wanting the shiny things that society told them made them somebody which they could not afford, and more than anything, wanting to feel powerful and alive for a while.
they came from many different backgrounds, and definitely not just poor black kids at all. some were white kids from middle class families.
disempowerment and disparity are definitely factors
Brace yourself for a major crackdown on civil liberties. This is a great excuse for those in power to oppress the underclasses further.
...all par for the usual course. What sickens is the moral grandstanding about destruction and pillage as the powers that be bomb the shit out of villages and monopolise resources and warm up for a nuclear strike against Iran. And Clinton lining up with the fucking SAUDIs to wag her finger at Syria and Libya.
that Duggan was an armed criminal about to be arrested, whose property/family/friends did he respect? Such tunnel vision!
Focussing on Duggan is a bit like taking the catapult off the infant while his daddy loads the nukes onto the drone the other kid is playing remote war-games with.
Whose property/friends/family do the Pentagon/NATO/oiligarchs and wuncha bankstas respect??
Where do you detect tunnel vision?I detect too many wilful blind eyes being turned to mega-crime while the petty offenders are scapegoated for their poverty driven MIMICKING of the general cultural memememe carrot economy.
They catch a lot of donkeys though. Useful idiots come in blue as well as red.
What the hell have NATO or the Pentagon got to do with rioting criminals in London and elsewhere?
It seems you here have the easy answers to everything - blame the US/Israel/Shell for anything all wrongs.
There were a lot of people before the courts last week who were NOT downtrodden proles!
Cameron has no connection to NATO?To destruction and theft?No class analysis then, we're all happy Tories together getting our moral rocks off on the despicable vandals?
Ta for mentioning Shhhhell and Isreal, never crossed my mind. Tell us more about their criminality while you're fulminating.
My point? Lotta bigger criminals at higher levels will NEVER be before the same courts. Thats what angers more than these criminal kids.
