So while that orange McMuffin over-inflated cheesy wotsit is still running things in that VERY White House, there are many a murmuring that he may actually be re- elected by appealing to his base – again! His kickoff rally for re-election in Florida was reminiscent of a chorus of chanting monks – or incoherent monkeys in the jungle. Cue the usual jabbering battle cries of “Lock Her up” after the obsessed leader baboon again mentioned the unmentionable Hillary Clinton. They do realize she’s not running again? Who cares anymore? LEAVE HILLARY ALONE!
Meanwhile in the land of Democracia there is a resistance forming, led by wise owl Uncle Joe B. Democracia is under seige and needs help to be heard, but leading the rallying cry are the women freedom fighters Warren the Warrior and Harris the Herald. Ranged alongside Bernie the Ballbuster and Pete the Prefect and 15 others, we will get to see what these candidates are indeed made of in the first battle rounds of The Voice, whoops sorry I mean “The Debates“, Twenty Davids will talk it out, push their agendas and try to convince us they are the right candidate to take down Goliath.
Samantha Bee, the Daily Show alumna and current political pundit on TBS is urging some of the less-known candidates to instead run for the senate, currently with a republican majority in place, that is over-run with older established career politicians that should have retired a long time ago. I’m looking at you, touché turtle Mitch McConnell.
Why is it important the Democrats take the senate? Well that’s the place where stuff gets done. They’re the ones who vote on our Supreme Court Justices, the highest court of the land to which Trumpaloompa is sending his nominees. He’s already gotten two elected, including a whiney former frat bro who loves women’s bodies so much, he wants to decide what they can do with them. I’m talking about Brett Kavanaugh. A reminder that when President Obama had six months left to run, Mitch vetoed any nominee he put forward, stating that it needs to be the incoming president to determine that. And he won. Mainly because the republicans also had he majority in the house and senate at that time.
So as the White House Hunger Games kick off next week on MSNBC I’ll be watching with an eagle eye to see who has the best shot of becoming America’s next best president. Seems the UK is copying the American format and having some quite interesting debates of their own as the Tory hopefuls – and now it’s down to two – vie to replace tired Theresa May. Tiegate anyone?!?

With all the political spite in the world it’s nice there’s still room for some romance. Last Wednesday at Crustacean restaurant in Beverly Hills, the wonderful PR maven that is Christine Peake hosted a British singles night for us, and quite a few sparks were made. It was an early soirée and so quite a few of you couldn’t make it. Sodding work always getting in the way! But don’t despair as we are shooting to make this a monthly thing.
There’s still hope for you hopeless romantics yet. No matter what age. Even Joni Mitchell joined us, enjoying the music and looking for some good company… 😉
In the meantime Brits Breakfast and Pub Quiz are still happening every Tuesday. So if you can’t be lucky in love, be lucky in your belly and lucky at the Cat and Fiddle.
Cheers!
