US Politics Thread

I thought it was implicit that there would be an agree/disagree at the end.

In this case, we’ll make an exception.

Trump’s peaked. There’s only one way his potential support is going.

And piqued.
It was reported earlier that now he wants more than one debate. A whole day after not wanting a debate - Harris appears to have got to him already.

Let’s hope so.

If the idiot became president again, it would be a disaster for the whole world, but especially the USA.

All those convicted of 6th January offences will be pardoned. Ukraine will be forced to cede large areas of territory to the idiot's mate, Putin, and NATO countries will be left to rely on European forces to defend them against Russian aggression.

It’s not only for the future of America that Harris must win, but for the future of peace in the world.

Enjoyed Harris’ line that was along the lines of Vance seems to lack conviction, which is at odds with his running mate, who has 34.

Excellent!

That reminds me of a quote by Groucho Marx:

I never forget a face, but in your case, I’m willing to make an exception.

Donald Trump 4/7

Harris 11/8

Blimey ! She was over 3/1 a few days ago.

I do wonder if / hope that this could be their Kier Starmer moment.

 

[Elbow beards]

How can anyone seriously watch the articulate, intelligent and refreshing Harris and still vote for that dumb, racist grifter? Unbelievable if that orange twat wins now.

I am hoping Trump (and MAGA) gets their Portillo moment, as well.

I can’t see them taking it with anything vaguely resembling the same level of good grace.

I guess if you have to have closed door meetings and send memos around reminding people not to focus on the VP's race or gender, you might have a party with a few racists and misogynists in it . . .

 

[SebastianBlue]

I can’t see them taking it with anything vaguely resembling the same level of good grace.

One of the reasons I want to see it!

That, and I want a sense of full repudiation of the MAGA movement.

That is actually something that is vital to the future of the US (and not necessarily related to my desire for a Portillo moment). That entire insane idealogical force needs to be pushed back to the fringes, otherwise the US is just going to repeat the same cycle every four years (or never if Trump wins, of course).

Not sure about DEIs but there’s a fair number of DUIs amongst the maga contingent.

Naw, this doesn't smack of rampant fear, panic nor desperation. Not at all.

“Intellectually, just really kind of the bottom of the barrel” isn’t a very intellectual turn of phrase...

Broke with Liz Cheney when Cheney said Trump's claims of election fraud were untrue; i.e. saw an opportunity to run Liz out of the state and grab her seat. Among the worst of the grifting opportunists. Had never set foot out of the wasteland that is Wyoming (save Yellowstone) until then.
