brexit vote saturday

    

                                     


  Cyclops sits at the royal PC sipping a lemon tea-----no sugar cube in teethSmiling face with horns
                                              Twenty minutes ago west Ham lost 2-0 to Everton
               Ten minutes ago he  watched on BBC TV the House of Commons "divide' for its first Brexit vote of the morning.
               Ten minutes from now we will have the result of that vote and
               Spurs will kick off at home to bottom of table Watford.
               Can the season get worse?Sob

So a quick post  to those non British readers who have asked me to explain how the Hard Line Tory Brexiteers have decided to vote for the Johnson deal while they repeatedly defied their party on the Theresa May deals.

                                                            
                         Reesemogg voted against May's deal every time .As did the DUP.
                         DUP claim this deal is worse. Reesemogg demurs.
                                                              WHY?

                            Most of Cyclops English readers understand why the Tory Brexiteers have folded:

                                            THERESA MAY is a WOMAN who was NOT educated at ETON
                                                                THE JOHNSON is a MAN who WAS



NEWS FLASH: Johnson loses the first vote in the "historic Saturday" sitting
                          Spurs kick off and four minutes in and are still level with Watford.
                  
                  Both spurs and Johnson have been consistent since Barmy Boris became PM
                  For Spurs sake Boris MUST GO.Angry face with horns

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

                                       

Trumps decisions in Syria are awful.
The consequences likely horrific.
Erdogan may be a  megalomaniac unleashed.
Potentially  every bit as nasty as the Assads.
Its very hard to write satire when a brave,tormented and dispossessed people face devastation and death.
So a short not so satirical  blog post 



                                             MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

IN  TRUMP'S WORLD IT IS NOT IN AMERICA'S INTEREST TO PROTECT KURDISH CHILDREN FROM TURKISH GENOCIDE.


LIKE HIS FATHER,THEIR GRANDFATHERS DID NOT SERVE ON THE NORMANDY BEACHES.

UNLIKE HIS FRIEND ERDOGAN  THE KURDS  ARE NOT ALL ANGELS.

HASTA LA VISTA GUYS.   WE NEED TO MOVE ON TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

 Mattis responded to reports that Mr. Trump called him "the world's most overrated general" during a meeting with Democrats earlier this week. Mattis joked that he felt like he had "achieved greatness," because he was "not just an overrated general, I am the greatest, the world's most overrated."

THE TRIAL

                                                       This one will NOT be  Kafkaesque

If you have not followed the  inexorable progress to Trumpfski's impeachment,I must assume you live under a rock in Pyongyang.

Given that all are aware of the House impeachment "inquiry"  [you say in and  I say en--lets not give the whole thing up]  his "great and unmatched wisdom" alongside his "undeniably wise and stable genius|",King Cyclops will refrain from cheap cracks about the incoherent BS emanating from Trumpfski,Guilliani,Barr, assorted Publican Senators and miscellaneous toadies.

Though the repeated yelling of      "there was no explicit quid pro quo"
 will join the hallowed
                                                       " It depends on what the definition of "is"  is"
                                                       " The checks in the mail"
                                                       " Of course I will respect you in the Morning"
                                                       " I am just fascinated by your mind"
                                                       " This is a price I can only offer to you"
in the Valhalla of Eternal Truth

This note is just about whether or not The Trumfskians can successfully ignore Congressional subpoenas for both documents and witnesses.

The Forces of Justice and Righteousness [hereinafter-the Democrats] want to hear & see witnesses and  documents confirming  the malfeasance of the forces of darkness and destruction [hereinafter-the Trumpfskians].

Many wise,prudent and gentle sages [MSNBC commentators]  have  declared that :
   if we only had the single memo summarising the Trump/Zelensky phone call     -DAYENU
   if we only had tape of Trumpfski's WH lawn call for China to investigate Biden -DAYENU
   if we only had Guiliani rantings on both CNN and FOX                                       -DAYENU                 if we only had Guiliani shouting"of course"he demanded Ukrainians investigate-DAYENU
   if we only had Trumpfskian refusal to follow constitutional obligations              -DAYENU
   if we only pursue the Ukraine episode                                                                   -DAYENU

                                                             
                                      No more information is needed .
                                      Move to impeach.

                                      CYCLOPS has consistently maintained two things
                                   
                                                          1. IN NANCY WE TRUST                                                                                                                      2.TRUMP WILL NOT RUN IN 2020 
                            

CYCLOPS has taken advice and counsel from several of the sharpest prosecutorial minds of their respected generations.Not just Jack McCoy.But other active prosecutors whose identities must be protected.
He has also watched over 400 episodes of Law and Order .
The unanimous conclusion is that Jack Mccoy would already have had the subpoenas enacted or the scoff laws behind bars.                                                                                                                                 
    More subtlety  : 

  • the hearings in the House are the equivalent of a grand jury seeking information before a decision to indite.
  • The Trumpfskians can delay and obstruct until a judge forces them to appear or provide as the subpoena demands.
  • The Trumpfskians can appeal all the way to the Supremes
  • This takes time
  • Several of CYCLOPS interlocutors are still puzzled why it is taking so long.
  • Surely in cases of National Import the procedures can be expedited.


   CYCLOPS contact with the sharpest mind makes the following point however.

  •    Once the house votes to impeach,
  •    An indictment is sent to the Senate for trial. 
  •   Justice Roberts presides 
  •   He presumably will decide that the process will proceed under the normal rules of                      US    jurisprudence.
  •  That was what happened in the Clinton trial under Justice Rehnquist.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The game moves to a new stage with other rules.                                                                            
  •  Under trial rules if the prosecution--or defence-wish to see a document or hear a witness then said document or witness must be produced or be in automatic contempt . 
  • The attorneys must introduce this into evidence or call the witness immediately.
  • No time for review unless the judge so grants.
  • Once introduced the evidence/transcript  is part of the public record .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Et Voilas all is open to the wicked Medya and their Fake News Outlets 💪

Existential


                                                     

 For those wondering about CYCLOP's  silence while the the leaders of the Anglo Saxon Democracies set about defying/destroying their nation's constitutional protections there is an explanation   reason   excuse.

Cyclops has been deeply embroiled in thought about a real existential threat to CIVILISATION in North London.

                                      Tottenham Hotspur in the space of 2 weeks
  •                             Lost to Leicester having been 1 up and dominating
  •                             Knocked out of Caraboa Cup by a team from ESSEX
  •                             Four divisions below
  •                             Lost 7-2 at HOME to a German Club
  •                             Albeit one of Jewish foundation
  •                             Former Arsenal forward scoring four of them,
  •                             Lost 3-0 away at Brighton the following Saturday.
  •                             Prior to that Brighton had scored goals in 7 games                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Only redeeming feature Aurier got sent off against Villa and cannot play for 3 games.                                                                                                                                                                                        In this calendar year -9+ months
  •                          Spurs have lost 17  games
  •                         Have failed to win a single premiership away game 
  •                         Have been unable to sell a group of international players who want to                             leave 
  •                         And Spurs want to sell
  •                         
                                                      Will Levy get the message ?   

  •    The players--rightly --feel they are underpaid compared to their peers at Top clubs                     in UK,Spain,Italy,Germany and China.
  •    Every one in the starting 14 would get at least I million pounds more a year elsewhere.  
  •    Except for Aurier.
  •    Sold Trippier for £14 million to Atletico Madrid  BEFORE getting a better replacement/
  •    Bought Aurier for £ 23 million from  Paris St-Germain
  •   What did he know that they did not?
  •   Did he think PSG needed the money?
  •   Trippier is a better crosser,shooter,dribbler and DEFENDER than Aurier.
  •   Aurier can run faster--needs to because he is NEVER in the right place.
  •   Will be lucky to unload aurier for free in January
  •   Could not buy Trippier back for £60 million. 
  •   Pochetino is still sulking about Real Madrid not making an offer for him
  •   And signing a 5 year contract giving boss man Levy the whip hand
                                         Levy MUST go😒                                                                           He does not understand it is...
  •        Not about the Balance Sheet
  •        Nor the stadium
  •        Not about being the "toughest"negotiator
  •        Not about last minute bargain signings                                                                                                          the rest of football has sussed your tactics mate;                                                                               same as for Pochetino on the field
  •       Not about being more important than the manager.

                                         IT'S ABOUT THE GLORY
                                 🙋🙇✌🙏💪
