US Politics Thread

The great Usha Vance visit to Greenland seems to have come off the rails.
First the NSA invited himself, must be quite some dogsled race.
Then JD Eyeliner invited himself along.
Dogsled visit cancelled, now they're just going to the military base. Bet Usha's had that on her bucket list!

I can only guess/hope that ordinary, middle of the road American journalists (with no political bias towards left or right) would be horrified at that outburst.

I highly doubt it. They enabled it.

It seems that Republicans may finally be waking up...

Democrat James Malone just pulled off a narrow victory in a Pennsylvania state Senate special election in a bright red district where Trump won resoundingly with 57% of the vote last November. The 36th district hasn’t elected a Democrat since it moved from Philadelphia to Lancaster County in 1979, according to Lancaster Online. Malone made Musk and recent events in Washington, DC a central part of his campaign.

The county’s elections website showed 100% of precincts reporting, with Malone getting 26,951 votes compared to Parsons’ 26,469. Libertarian candidate Zachary Moore had obtained 480.

Stephen Medvic, a political science professor at Franklin & Marshall College, posted on social media Tuesday night: “Democrats just flipped a seat in a Trump +15 state senate district in Lancaster County, PA. Margin was less than 500 votes, and there will likely be challenges, but this is stunning.”

Interesting that Malone beat "Parsons, a U.S. Army infantry veteran and former prosecutor" in a Republican area and did so with less money.

Democrat James Malone narrowly edges Republican Josh Parsons in 36th Senate race; some votes still to be counted

And to think we still have a few on here and in the wider public that cheer these cretins on.

'She'? Looks like like one of the members of Hinge and Bracket.

One for the kids.

Seriously though, she is one hateful individual, I think she has real mental problems.

You’ve got to be wary of the Amish. They may get mediaeval on one’s hiney when angered.

She’s just playing a role , like most of Trumps circle.

Yeah, I heard him. Fair play to him for that. The evil mare said she wouldn't answer it as it originated from the UK journalist. If UK politician treated an American journalist in the same manner, Washington would go into meltdown.

Sadly, it would depend on who the journalist is and what the journalist's political leanings are.

If anything other than a liberal. It would mostly be celebrated in the press.

She is, but I honestly believe that she is a little unhinged too. She looks like she genuinely idolises him, in some of the videos/pictures I've seen of her, even more so than that other odd woman (who's name evades me right now) that idolises Boris Johnson.

Back to MJT, very few of the current GOP are likeable, but some like her, are truly abhorrent.

I’m struggling to have much sympathy for Greenland and Denmark when they stupidly facilitate such visits. Their sovereignty is clearly being undermined but they choose to allow them in anyway.

Think it was a US base so may not have much of a say
