Finns Party splinters, new group makes bid for Sipilä government
Following its exit from Juha Sipilä’s government, the Finns Party’s parliamentary group has collapsed, with a band of 20 MPs forming a new group to be known as the "New Alternative".


quote:

Reeling after its departure from government, the Finns Party has splintered, with a group of 20 MPs leaving to establish a new political force known as the "New Alternative".

Former party chair and Foreign Minister Timo Soini is among the members of the new faction. He is joined by other high profile MPs such as parliamentary group leader Sampo Terho, Defence Minister Jussi Niinistö and Health Minister Pirkko Mattila, as well as Parliamentary Speaker Maria Lohela.

Seeing populists and far right nationalists tear each other apart politically is :discourse:

That's true. Usually it's the left splintering in a dozen factions, while the conservatives stay united in their goal of loving over as many people as posdible. So nice to see it happening to the right.

Colbert is actually a pretty good interviewer who will call people out on their bullshit without skipping a beat.

His interview of Assange when that Apache video came out was great, because he straight up called out Assange for editing the video and then editorializing the video with the title.

I don't think they'll ever get anything directly Russia related on him because I think Russia's too good to compromise such a valuable asset like that. They wouldn't let him touch them remember the I think everybody's met with Kislayak (spelling) except me?

And now for something completely different
Trump’s Personal Lawyer Boasted That He Got Preet Bharara Fired. Marc Kasowitz, President Trump’s lawyer in the Russia investigation, has bragged he was behind the firing of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.

quote:

Marc Kasowitz, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer in the Russia investigation, has boasted to friends and colleagues that he played a central role in the firing of Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, according to four people familiar with the conversations.

Kasowitz told Trump, “This guy is going to get you,” according to a person familiar with Kasowitz’s account.

Those who know Kasowitz say he is sometimes prone to exaggerating when regaling them with his exploits. But if true, his assertion adds to the mystery surrounding the motive and timing of Bharara’s firing.

New presidents typically ask U.S. attorneys to resign and have the power to fire them. But Trump asked Bharara to stay in his job when they met in November at Trump Tower, as Bharara announced after the meeting.

In early March, Trump reversed himself. He asked all the remaining U.S. attorneys to resign, including Bharara. Bharara, a telegenic prosecutor with a history of taking on powerful politicians, refused and was fired March 11.

As ProPublica previously reported, at the time of Bharara’s firing the Southern District was conducting an investigation into Trump’s secretary of the health and human services, Tom Price.

Kasowitz and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

I know I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but Trump seems to be a magnet for the worst human turds to walk this earth.

We spent a decade with the only 2 parties capable of Government more or less indistinguishable in their policies (unless you take your economics seriously.) Now the traditionally centre left party has moved a bit more to the left and made its-self less popular because of infighting and some bizarre leadership, all aided by a hostile press.

Then Cameron tries to appease the old fucks on his back bench (who would probably fit in the Republican party nicely) and to stop the cancer of UKIP eating his voting base by calling Brexit in a gamble. He loses the gamble, we give the finger to the EU and it has polarized the electorate so much that everything is now volatile and nothing can politically be taken for granted. His successor overestimate her advantage in the polls and calls an election in the hope of winning a larger majority and therefore a mandate for a hard Brexit (which is realistically the only one we can have and not have the current political order collapse) and she fucks it up, although not as badly as D&D would have you believe.

Now to form a government they need 10 more seats which they are getting from the DUP, an Ulster pro-union party who don't like gays. Also you aren't ever meant to be in a coalition with a NI party because it compromises the independence of their fragile and currently fractious political
system.


We will have another election before Brexit is done I think. May has cooked her Goose and I'm sure Labour will go back to squabbling soon as well.
