You’re the one having a laugh, American political campaigns seem to largely consist of slagging the other side off, with many personal insults, and little regard for facts.
Then it’s one side saying ‘you do more slagging of than us’.
Shit.
Yeah. He needs to have a debate with her and discuss his policies and plans. Like a grown up candidate would do. I watched a clip this morning of him waffling on about how he was like Elvis but without a guitar. How Elvis could bring 50k people together and how he can do more and he doesnt even have a guitar? Is he going fucking senile? He sounded batshit.

It really becomes clear how the nazis were able to get a foothold when you see all the trump enablers and acquiescers about.

should maybe dig into who hitlers main opponent was at the time. Maybe he had a limp or something

I thought Gary O’Donoghue was brilliant in his reporting, got loads of eyewitness accounts. I felt awful for him in the footage where he was hiding behind the car, it must have been more scary as a blind person not able to actually see what was happening when he’d just been expecting to do a small piece on a run-of-the-mill rally. Then he revealed, of course, they were stuck in the scene whilst it was all locked down.
Btw I wasn’t trying to be disparaging of the fact he is blind. I only found out after the initial interview. I love the fact though that the beeb basically farmed him out to what would have been seen as a run of the mill event but he ended up getting the scoop of the century and probably because he is blind he was just actively listening to the witnesses and not judging them for wearing maga hats etc.

I just don't understand why both parties think nothing of having candidates that are 80/pushing 80. Usually I hate ageism BUT come on, both are past their prime, one definitely had memory issues and is basically being held up lest he flops over in his chair, and the other is such a sleeze. And both have had their turn, each! Give it a rest! Is this really the best America can offer?! The parties need to back some younger candidates, seriously.

The Republicans need a young face, and the Democrats need someone who doesn't live in cloud cuckoo land. And certainly not Kamala, who whenever she speaks sounds as dumb as a box of rocks.

Surely there are plenty of honest and dynamic people on both sides who can step forward? Or are they being prevented from doing so?

America fascinates me :LOL: P.s. I think both parties are incredibly corrupt.
The alarming thing is that many folk see Trump as some sort of cartoon villain, but he's unhinged and has axes to grind.
Like you say, the fact that 4 years have passed and it's the same 2 men running again is quite unbelievable.

So clearly deserves shooting in the head?
Where did I say that?

The last few posts were about him being a practicing Christian and by inference a good man. He can be an absolute piece of shit and not deserve assasination. Anyone who acts like a guy who does impersonations of disabled people for laughs is a good christian is delusional.

Wasn't the alleged shooter a registered Republican?
Yes. But you know that means very little right? All it means is he registered to vote in the the Republican Primary at zero personal expense. If he was obsessed with Trump enough to try to kill him I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to think he voted against making him the candidate.

It’s also noted that he did pay towards the ActBlue organisation.


Details here.


The man who died has been named.


A man who diligently served his community as fire chief and regularly risked his life to help others. Basically everything that Thomas Crooks wasn’t and never could be.

He doesn’t look much like a redneck either.

hilarious that she managed to bait him with the comments about the size of his rallies, and how people get bored and leave. And he fell for it.

I think Trump is expressing cynicism that Harris wasn't publicly embracing the Black part of her heritage - as opposed to her Indian roots - so much until she needed to win over Black voters.
She did go to Howard university - a historical black university in Washington D.C. She is also a member from a congressional church founded by black parishers. That doesn't seem like someone not embracing their roots. From her biography on wikipedia it seems quite clear she grew up navigating between two cultures. But she didn't use her background for her career. She has been actually someone not talking a lot about her background. It's a bit ironical because when someone is bringing a lot their minority background they are accused of capitalizing on it and to make their whole personality about it. When they don't - like Kamala Harris - it's also being used againt them.

Also being mixed is different from being only from one background. Mixed people shouldn't have to choose or have to explain how they feel about their identity. In a country like the US where everybody is put in a box not belonging to a clear category can be confusing.

Laura 'Eva Braun' Loomer has become 'very close' to Donald. A woman who recently said The White House would stink of curry if Kamala won .... Oh my aching sides . :rolleyes: She's currently having a Twitter war with that other nutjob Majorie Taylor Green, calling her a 'slut'. I mean ... you literally couldn't make this shit up.

I genuinely can’t understand how anyone could vote for him, no point listing the reasons cause his hard core crew will still do it. He could r*pe someone on tv, wear a clan hood and they’d still do it.
For Americas sake (Ireland and Europes), I hope she pulls it off. The democrats made a mess of things not promoting her of having a proper candidate selection earlier, but we are where we are.
I think (and hope) she’ll do it, I think the fact so many women are out voting early it’ll be enough.

If allowed to. He's looking increasingly stupid and a bit pathetic with his nonsensical ramblings.
Part of the appeal of Donald for some (not all) and the part I find most repellent is that his candidacy (and god forbid presidency) gives 'permission'. Permission to be racist, permission to be misogynistic, permission to be fraudulant and frankly, permission to just be plain hateful. Thankfully I think people are tired of that rhetoric, exhausted. No right thinking person wants four years of chaos. Well, unless you own a media company of course. :cautious:

Biting babies is not normal. Looking like an Oompa Loompa version of the Black & White Minstrel show is not normal.

I thought Democrats were the nice reasonable democracy lovers and Trump supporters were the gun loving fanatics?
Anyone of any political view can be mentally ill and with gun laws the way they are there, I'm surprised this hasn't happened before.

I don't even care that much who wins at this point, both are dreadful for different reasons.
One is a racist, a rapist, a fascist, and a convicted felon and one isn't. Hope that helps if you're stuggling to decide who to support. :rolleyes:

I could well be jumping the gun, but I’m starting to think that he may not be the stable genius he claimed to be. Just a hunch 🤷‍♀️
