Perados - About Boris BETTER KNOWN AS FLOPPY:
"A smart guy, who knows nothing about the real world, isn't willing to inform himself, gives a fuck about consequences, but is willing to do everything as long as it gives him "positive press" and is a populist and demagogue, who is able to make people believe in his bullshit."
My thoughts exactly. In addition, this very same description can be said about Donald also known as Trumpty Dumpty, or perhaps just Dumpty!
Apparently it is more difficult for many here that are British to see this clearly how just alike they really are. Floppy Boris and Humpty Dumpty do not come from the same exact "class," but both are part of a rich man's economic class. NYC millionaire class is not like the millionaire class of many American cities and certainly not like that of England or in the US areas that were first settled by the English.
Floppy is from the upper crust having gone to Eaton and is an fond of more classical things.
Dumpty prefers hamburgers from McDonalds and entertaining heads of states and other important people at very plush golf clubs that he or his creditors own.
There are profound differences in the two if you just look at how they are different.
One is in attendance at the Symphony with the Queen sitting as far away from Floppy as she can get.
One is at a plush golf club trying to find the ball, though there are reports that he was looking for something else.
However, both are in attendance with millionaires, billionaires, heads of states, and so on.
Both born with silver spoons in their mouths!
Neither has had any opportunity to live or be around the middle class. Middle class may drive a respectable car, have a respectable house, dress the family appropriately and so on. But they live payday to payday. Let that salary be held up two weeks or their pension checks held up for two weeks, they are in major trouble.
Here in the US, the goal is to live in a three bedroom house or apartment. All male offspring get one bedroom while all female offspring get the second bedroom. Most have to settle for 1000 sq ft. They hope for a 1500 sq ft house. Some will make it. A few, very few will get to a 2000 or even a 3000 sq ft house if they move up in the chain of promotions and manage money well. A majority will get no further than that 1000 sq ft house or apartment. Three tiny bedrooms and one full bathroom and perhaps a second toilet for the master bedroom is as far as they will make it. Getting to decorate it like they want is their achievement in having a house of their dreams.
Even the ones that appear to have it all are in debt that makes it difficult to stay afloat. A demotion in job would mean showing the house on Sundays to prospective buyers and downsize living quarters.
Dumpty does not have even have a remote idea as to what all this is like. I suspect that the same can be true of Floppy. The difference between middle class and the rich respective to the two nations is most likely the same distance apart for both Floppy and Dumpty!
Looking at these two villains from a political science viewpoint, this quote does a masterful job of a one paragraph description that can equally be written about either Dumpty or Floppy!
There are only two descriptions listed where the two despots seem different:
"A smart guy,"
Floppy excelled at being a student at an upper class school that only accepts students that are above average, unless of course they are the heir to the throne or to a noble position. In the US we would call Floppy book smart. Perhaps a patron of the arts.
Trump is smart. Trump has some sort of vision problem that makes it difficult for him to read. Not having taught or formally evaluated him, I can only surmise as to the extent that this is a disability. Dumpty can real a teleprompter on the wall well enough to get by. Perhaps it is the written print up close on the written page that gives Dumpty problems.
...... had to erase some.....
Dumpty is expelling bodily fluids at times and places that are considered inappropriate. As more evidence that Dumpty is the most corrupt American president in history, the only president who may have committed treason, will most likely by impeached by the House. If 67 out of 100 senators vote to convict Dumpty of impeachable offenses, then we are most likely to see Mount Dumpty erupt even more so than now as he is lead away from his office in the White House, somehow blaming Hillary for this!
Another thing: There are elected leaders in the UK who are openly or implying they want to UK to disappear as a nation. Dumpty has already announced that if he is removed from office, there will be a civil war here in America. Dumpty is talking about being president for life which is in direct conflict with the US Constitution.
Some in the UK are thrilled to joy that the UK may cease to be a nation. "Good riddance! We didn't need those folks anyway!"
How in the hell did this happen to two great nations!
Oh yes. Dear. I forgot!
All ROADS LEAD TO PUTIN!
Putin may be the most knowledgeable person in the world concerning all things that are part of intelligence agencies. He could now be in charge of the Five Seeing Eyes for all we know. What Putin knows and how he knows how to carry out strategies to get what he wants is mind boggling. What if Trump is a Russian agent. Who is the UK and the US are the Russian agents? How many are there?
I really have come to the conclusion that Putin has infiltrated both the US and the UK to the point that I'm not sure we can get his claws removed from our skins without major suffering on the part of both the UK and the US. They are dug into our major organs and muscles. We hear the propaganda with brains too addled to stop and consider what it really going on and instead accepting the truth for the lies produced by Putin!
*The largest and also one of the largest mainline churches in the US both come straight from the Church of England as a by product of the American War for Independence. When Trump does go to church he does go to the Episcopal Church which is under the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Episcopal Church is the American church of the Anglican Communion.
The priests are reading the same, Epistle, New Testament, Psalm and Gospel readings as is the Queen hearing in which ever church she is attending that day. There are a few minor differences in each worship service and from congregation to congregation from time to time partly due to the size of congregation and the skills of the leaders including musicians.
The cathedral does belong to the Episcopal Church and has a bishop in residence along with other priests and has a full Anglican church program every Sunday.
I add this as further evidence as how much the US is like the UK.
Peralos: Thanks for noticing and posting your summation of Floppy. I understand that many in the UK don't want to even consider that they may have a prime minister that is very much like Dumpty in how he governs. I'm glad I am not the only non British person posting here.
Different perspectives enrich everyone if shared appropriately.
