Friedrich Merz conned his way into an election "win" by telling the German voters that he was breaking with his mentor Angela Merkel and would start deporting illegal aliens. Then, having won a plurality of seats, he repudiated those promises, formed a government with the left, and announced there would be no changes to German immigration policy at all.

He's now facing embarrassment and setback as he fails to secure a majority of parliamentary votes actually become chancellor.

@Schuldensuehner
Good Morning from Germany, where Friedrich Merz has fallen short of a majority in the first round of the chancellor vote--something that has never happened before in German history. He received 310 votes, 6 short of the 316 needed for a majority in parliament.

AfD leader Alice Wiedel was pleased:

BREAKING: FRIEDRICH MERZ LOSES CHANCELLOR ELECTION
For the first time in history, the designated chancellor loses the parliamentary election.
This is the consequence of his unprecedented voter BETRAYAL.
@Alice_Weidel: "Today we saw that liars won't get far."

I'm sure he'll wind up "winning" -- German democracy is dead and "managed" by the the Nazi successor regime -- but it's nice to see him at least embarrassed.

Yesterday I mentioned the UK council elections over the past weekend, but I failed to provide numbers showing just what an absolute catastrophe this was for Labour, and even more so for the "Conservatives."

Both parties lost two thirds of their council representatives, mostly to Reform.

The first line shows the new number of council members, the second line shows the change, up or down, from the last election. The "Conservatives" lost 665 seats, falling from 966 to 311.

I don't know how many times I have to tell you Bigots that there is no election fraud in America.

Former Colorado postal employee admits to stealing ballots ahead of 2024 election

Not just stealing them -- voting them.

One of the women accused of stealing and fraudulently casting more than a dozen ballots ahead of last November's election pleaded guilty Monday.
Vicki Stuart, 64, was charged with 34 counts related to the ballot theft scheme, which occurred in the lead-up to last year's presidential election. She pleaded guilty to one count of identity theft and one count of forgery in the 21st Judicial District Court.
For much of the hearing, she answered Judge Brian Flynn's questions with a simple "yes," but when asked why she was willing to accept the plea agreement, she responded because "I feel like I am guilty for the part that I played in it."
Stuart was charged in November with counts that included forgery, identity theft and attempts to influence a public servant. According to the arrest affidavit, Stuart and another woman stole more than a dozen ballots from Mesa County residents before they could be delivered to the intended voters. The goal, prosecutors said, was to test the state's voting safeguards.
The scheme was uncovered when some voters alerted authorities after the Colorado Ballot tracking system informed them their ballots were being processed, even though they hadn't received their ballots yet. State officials said three of the stolen ballots that were cast fraudulently did make it through the signature verification process and were counted as legitimate votes.

This article completely fails to mention which party they were associated with and for which party they cast the fraudulent ballots. They're women working for the government so I'll just assume they could be from any party.

No idea who these Crusty Karens cast fraudulent ballots for, none at all.

Wow this is sure nice: The Supreme Court realized that the Command in Chief of the United States, rather than lowly district court judges, has plenary power over the military's health and readiness standards.

What a nice thing to discover. Who knew that the Command-in-Chief, as designated in the Constitution, had some kind of power over military readiness?

ABC "News:"

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration can move forward with a ban on transgender military service members for now, lifting a lower court injunction against the policy after a judge ruled it was an "unsupported, dramatic and facially unfair exclusionary policy."
The court did not explain its decision other than to say the order would expire if the justices ultimately take up the case on the merits and issue a ruling striking it down.

Ed Morrissey comments:

The order itself is interesting, in that it pre-empts any action the Ninth Circuit might take against this policy. The text states that the injunction will remain in place as it proceeds to the Supreme Court, as long as a writ of certiorari "is timely sought." Three justices indicated that they would not have enjoined the district court ruling -- you can guess which three, and probably why, although it may be just that they object to an intervention at this stage.
It seems pretty clear, though, that six justices think that the ruling will not survive scrutiny and that the authority to make these decisions fall within executive authority when Congress has not acted in one way or the other. It is yet another incremental indicator that the Supreme Court has begun to draw some constitutional lines, and may be ready to draw jurisdictional lines in its own branch.

'Non-Binary Femme' Singer Robert Adam Refuses to Perform His Queer Country Music in U.S. over Trump

This is a real blow you guys.

Self-described "non-binary femme" Canadian country singer Robert Adam went to Nashville, Tennessee, to record his latest album but cites the triumphant return of President Donald Trump to the White House as the reason he won't be heading back across the border anytime soon.
The Calgary-based performer says he contemplated the decision not to go back for several months, claiming past negative experiences as a "queer person" visiting the United States were weighed against the importance of that market for emerging musicians.

Don't sweat it, the US isn't a big market for country music anyway.

Adam told the Canadian Press in a phone interview he made the right decision not to go stateside because it would be just too stressful.

(I'm) pretty non-binary presenting, pretty femme ... it's hard not to see that I kind of stick out.
I don't want to spend my life stressed out over whether I feel like I have to ... tone down my image, or what I have to say, just to exist and play a show.

"Just to exist." They all say exactly the same things using exactly the same cultic code words.

Unfortunately--and contra what I posted this morning--this will not result in new elections and an AfD victory, unless something really screwy happens. The German constitution does allow the formation of a minority government (a coalition with less than half the Bundestag seats, cribbing votes from others on an ad hoc basis) under certain conditions. One of those is the consent of the President, who is himself an SPD guy and can be counted on to keep the AfD out of power as long as possible.

Again, we have to burn down the democracy to save it.

When the fight with the Houthi started, everyone in our government said openly that it was to keep the sea routes clear, and to stop the Houthi from shooting missiles at passing ships, or from extorting money to allow them to pass. We always have stated that if the Houthi's would leave shipping alone, then our interest in them would be done. We were *not* fighting them to get them to stop taking potshots at Isreal; the Israeli's can handle that part of it themselves, as they just showed yesterday.

69 Kind of a tangential comment on the UK: I think one short-term effect may be a temporary breakdown of the two-party system the Brits have had up to now. Apart from Reform, the Lib Dems had a pretty good result as well, coming at the expense of both the Tories and Labour.

Putting it on the map, there might be a brief regionalization of British politics; Reform will be strong in the somewhat impoverished regions of North and East England, Lib Dems in the Southwest, what's left of the Conservatives holding on to some of their old heartlands in the wealthier southern counties, and Labour relying on Londonistan and other culturally-enriched urban areas.

Though I suspect this is only a prelude to two strong parties again emerging in the future, whoever those might be.

78 From various sources I have heard that Merz won on the second ballot. Also that German government bond sales went poorly, not selling the entire auction.

Further, in the face of the promise to up the German debt limit, the EU is now stating that the proposed issuance of debt is beyond what is allowed under EU rules.

So, apparently Merz one, has promised to up the German deficit, found that he is forbidden to do so by Brussels, and that he was unable to sell enough bonds to cover current projections.

it must suck to be Merz right now.

IF you claim to be non-binary, THEN you are not entitled to use singular pronouns which implY that you are one or the other (that being male or female). So, when you say something like THIS:

"(I'm) pretty non-binary presenting, pretty femme ... it's hard not to see that I kind of stick out."

THEN, it proves you are an attention seeking poser AND a lousy English student.

101 Jasmine Crockett caught cutting in front of disabled people at the airport to get on a plane.

Back in the day, Eastern Airlines ran a shuttle from Boston to Washington. No reservations, first come, first serve. The deal was that if the first plane filled up, the other passengers have to wait a few minutes for Eastern to bring up a second plane.

Monday mornings were busy, and they would frequently have to use a second plane.

Prominent Massachusetts politicos were usually flying to DC on Monday morning, and politicians like Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, and others had the sense to wait in line along with everyone else if they needed a second plane.

Except for John F'ing Kerry, who would invariably pull the "Do You Know Who I Am" schtick to try to get on the first plane no matter what.

Congratulations, Jasmine. You've lowered yourself to the level of John Kerry.

But, that's not sufficient for a TRO--like to succeed on the merits--a disagreement of experts is clearly outside of "likely."

But of course, that's after they hand-waved past the separation of powers doctrine--"we're not violating the Constitution by impeding on the power of the Executive because we can stop the President if we believe he has BadThink."
Which they admitted with all the florid language, "dripping with malice" etc. that has no place in a sober legal opinion but fits right in the the current New York Time Editorial Page Judiciary.

Not really. Peters is an idiot. In 2020, when elections were completely FUBAR all over the country, she lost track of how votes were being gathered and counted, and what she ended up doing was covering up the fact that she lost track of it all.

Again, nobody in Denver was doing any better than she was, but Peters is a Republican. So they came after her.

224 Somebody said, perhaps on the previous thread, that India allows Christians more freedom to practice their religion than Pakistan. I am sure that is true, given the remarkable intolerance of the Mohammedan pseudo-religion, but in conversation with a missionary from my church who had recently returned from a mission to India, the recent Hindu nationalism propounded by the current Indian government has made it harder to preach Christianity in India. The government especially hates our attempts to convert the bottom rung Dalit caste members to Christianity, since Christianity teaches that all men are brothers. This is taken as a direct affront to the caste system, which, frankly, it is.

229 Tina Peters hired an outside consultant to make backup copies of the files on the voting machines. After the election, the consultant discovered that log files on the machine were being deleted and modified by the vendor using remote access procedures.

It was the hiring of the consultant that get Peters convicted of a law violation. The Democrats had just passed a new law that restricted machine access to State employees - and the vendor technicians.

Tina Peters got sentenced to 9 years in prison.
