A second US civil war is “going to happen” if state and federal authorities continue to prosecute Donald Trump, the former Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin said.

“Those who are conducting this travesty and creating this two-tier system of justice, I want to ask them what the heck, do you do want us to be in civil war? Because that’s what’s going to happen,” Palin told Newsmax on Thursday night.

“We’re not going to keep putting up with this.”

Palin was speaking to the rightwing network as Trump surrendered at a jail in Fulton county, Georgia, and a historic mugshot was released. » | Martin Pengelly in Washington | Friday, August 25, 2023

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Unelected matron saint of the Tea Party compares America to "a battered wife" that can no longer [take] her husband's abuse

Sarah Palin has taken her vitriolic criticism of President Barack Obama to a new level, calling for him to be impeached and removed from office.

The former governor of Alaska compared America to "a battered wife" that could no longer take any more of her husband's abuse.

Mrs Palin said "the last straw" was Mr Obama's decision to take executive action to change America's immigration system after reforms stalled in the face of opposition from Republicans in Congress.

"It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment," she wrote. » | Raf Sanchez, Washington | Wednesday June 09, 2014

Sarah Palin, star déchue de l'Amérique conservatrice

LE FIGARO: L'ex-égérie du Tea Party n'a pas renouvelé son contrat d'éditorialiste politique avec Fox News et semble de plus en plus «has-been».

Mais que va donc devenir Sarah Palin ? La presse américaine se pose la question. Il y a un peu plus de quatre ans en effet, cette inconnue amatrice de chasse à l'ours, chantre de la maman (de cinq enfants) moderne, était choisie comme vice-présidente par le candidat à la présidentielle, John McCain. Aujourd'hui, l'ex-gouverneure d'Alaska disparaît des écrans de télévision: la très conservatrice chaîne de Rupert Murdoch, Fox News, a annoncé vendredi qu'elle ne renouvelait pas son contrat d'éditorialiste politique, après trois ans de collaboration. Un contrat d'un million de dollars par an grâce auquel Palin était payée 15,85 dollars (près de 12 euros) par mot, selon une étude d'Eric Ostermeier, de l'université du Minnesota, publiée lundi. » | Par Anne-Laure Frémont | mardi 29 janvier 2013

Marine Le Pen Threatens to Sue Madonna
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French far-Right, has threatened to sue Madonna over a video depicting the National Front chief with a swastika on her forehead.

The fleeting image was shown at a concert the US-born singer gave in Tel Aviv last Thursday as part of her MDNA world tour.

Projected during the song Nobody knows me, the film morphed Madonna's face with a number of famous figures, including Chinese leader Hu Jinatao, US Republican former presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Pope Benedict XVI.

Miss Le Pen's eyes and forehead then appear for a second before a swastika and the eyes of Adolf Hitler are superimposed onto the FN leader.

Furious, Miss Le Pen threatened to sue the singer if she kept the video unchanged when she performs in Paris on the July 14 national holiday and in Nice in August. "If she does that in France, we'll be waiting for her," she told Le Parisien. » | Henry Samuel, Paris | Monday, June 04, 2012

GOP Worst-case Scenario: Long Fight

My comment:

I have been in the USA since December, so I have been able to observe first-hand the circus that is the Republican US primaries.

One is subjected to the running commentary night after night after night. The whole thing is ridiculous. Americans think this is democracy in action. I'd beg to differ.

In my humble opinion, the only man who has a snowball's chance in hell of beating Obama is Mitt Romney. He is not perfect, but he's the best that the GOP can throw up at this time. Even though he is wooden, he is a likable fellow. And has been very successful to boot.

The others: Forget them! Rick Santorum, though telegenic, is a throwback; furthermore, he's too emotional and sentimental for high office. He is certainly also far, far too regressive. His social conservatism is going to turn off the moderate voters, the feminists, and the gays.

Newt Gingrich is not right for the time. He'd have made a great president right after 9/11. Alas, the train has left the station for him, I fear.

Now they talk of the possibility of Sarah Palin running. God! How desperate can the 'Grand Old Party' be? Her high-pitched voice is enough to sour the milk! And what experience does she have to run the world's superpower? (Though I hasten to add that such things seem not to matter to the American voter these days. Witness Barack Obama's success at the polls.) Moreover, I somehow doubt that Sarah Palin could put a pin in Tehran or Kabul on a globe.

At this rate, the Republicans are going to lose. And they have only themselves to blame, because they are doing it to themselves. They are bickering with each other endlessly, and in such a negative way. Such negativity in a lead-up to an election is rare to behold – anywhere.

By the time November comes, the electorate will be so damn sick of hearing the Republican candidates going on ad infinitum, and trying to outdo each other in being the most conservative, or most pious candidate that they'll end up re-electing Obama into the White House. If this happens, the Republicans will have been the architects of their own demise. They will have had their chance in Mitt Romney, but they will have been too dim to seize it.

If the Republican Party is serious about winning this election, it should stop the nastiness and close ranks behind their only hope: Mitt Romney. If they don't, they'll be committing electoral suicide. – © Mark

Sarah Palin Refuses to Rule Out Presidential Run Saying 'Anything's Possible'

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Sarah Palin has not ruled out running for president saying “anything’s possible” as she cast a vote for Newt Gingrich at Alaska's GOP Super Tuesday primary last night.

The former Republican vice-presidential candidate told a CNN reporter she would “seriously consider whatever I can do to help our country” when asked if she would agree to being put forward if the party faced a brokered convention.

The Tea Party darling also indicated she would consider running in the 2016 presidential race, if asked.

"Anything in this life, in this world is possible. Anything is possible for an American. I don't discount any idea or plan that, at this point, isn't in my control. Anything's possible,” she said. » | Amy Willis, Los Angeles | Wednesday, March 07, 2012
