I have to say it'd be real funny, but will that affect them? I'm not super up on UK politics but the gop does stupid poo poo all the time and the party itself doesn't really take a ton of consequences.

Fulton County, Georgia has begun a criminal investigation of Trump's efforts to overturn the Georgia election. Fulton county is a blue, plurality African American county in the heart of Atlanta. The county prosecutor is also an elected Democrat.

Will it affect them in elections? Who knows? Is it affecting the british people? Significantly so. Brexit is loving them up badly and the majority of britons are feeling the pain.

That's a good question, I'm not an expert on UK politics isn't part of the problem that the Labor party is a bit of a mess at the moment? I know they have more than two parties but it seems like the Tories will be insulated from some consequences if there isn't competent opposition.

iirc the last half decade of britpol has been a clusterfuck in large part because all of the major parties themselves split on the question of brexit and none of the longstanding alliances and spites and predictable order of things was relevant at all

Also yes there is still a powerful delusion despite all evidence to the contrary that the EU needs them more than they need the continent and absolute refusal to admit that they are, economically, Poland with a financial hub bolted on rather than the empire of perpetual daylight

The Tories have gotten relatively better in polling in the past few months as both brexit hit and the UK officially became the worst hit covid hotspot. The current labour party is very aggressive at purging their left but has not made substantial points of opposition to Boris.

UK greens are weird - it's more 'radical center' than left, so don't assume you can add that to labour. Lib Dems are basically Tories who aren't openly homophobic.

I'd check the IRS site to verify your information is correct and if the check has already been mailed out.

I can't recommend whose kneecaps to break other than "the entire republican caucus and maybe some of the problem solvers" but you can always call your congressional representative and/or senators and vent at some staffers for a bit.

Yes, they did. The voters thought that being a part of the EU just meant they were sending tax money to the mainland while missing out on all the benefits of being a part of the union. The advertising leading up to the Brexit election was falsely claiming that the only change is they'll be able to pour that tax money into healthcare instead of shipping it across the channel.

fknlo posted:

In this case, no, it's hurting everyone pretty badly. The poor get hosed hard all the time, but generally speaking they're suffering hasn't changed. The brexit voters are feeling most of the pain.

Allegedly Trump's "legal team" thinks that they need more videos to help them win!

Apparently they think a montage of Dems not conceding after an election will help their case. Hopefully they have some footage of mobs storming Gov't buildings claiming the election was stolen and... wait... What do you mean there isn't any footage of an attempted coup spurred on by the Dems?

I'm in the very fun group of "has to file to get stimulus as tax credit," which is very cool with the delayed filing this year and my lack of income last year. Which didn't stop the direct deposit from the first stimulus.

I just got off the phone with the IRS because they sent me a letter saying all of the $600 stimulus was being used to pay my 2007 taxes. Which I looked up and they owed me $30 that year. I was then told that they didn't have any record of any debt or sending me any such letter and that I should mail them a physical copy of the letter (they wanted a fax, of course, and refused an emailed copy) to verify its' authenticity or some bullshit. Oh, did I mention that I never got the $1200 stimulus either? I get to join the filing for a tax credit club, too, apparently.

Fortunately it's not a matter of life and death for me, but poo poo is ultra hosed and I sympathize. It infuriates me how many people in worse situations must be getting screwed over by all this.
