In all seriousness, I watched that Jon and thought the same as I did with Biden. It's a collective responsibility for key people to intervene. He clearly isn't able or fit to run for office. I can't stand Trump but I thought it was cruel to see Biden going through all this and I think the same for Trump. The US is in a dangerous place.Quote:

Yup :thumbup: ...but...Quote:

But they've got guns. What could possibly go wrong?
The more I’ve got into this election in recent weeks, the more I’ve found myself wondering how high another term as President was among Donald Trump’s priorities in running for a third time. For example, he seems to waste no opportunities to try and milk his supporters for more cash and, although you get all sorts of merchandise sold by a political party or candidate, Trump takes it to new levels. Also, it seems to be commonly accepted that, even if he loses, his chances of going to prison lessen if he’s running for the Presidency.Quote:

I just want to go back to the good old days when you could just detest Republicans for their venality, not worry about them subverting democracy.
I really hope you’re wrong. If the American experiment goes horribly wrong, humanity is without hope.Quote:

The documentary on Channel 4 - Trump's Heist - is frightening. Well worth a look.

Is Donald J Trump a cynical asshole or fascist? This well written piece comes down on the side of asshole!
Trump chickens out of second debate with Harris.
Have the noises on either side of the divide changed at all since this point? - 2016
The number of people voting against Trump went up by 25% in 2020, and the number of electoral college votes he got fell by almost a quarter so....yes?Quote:

It’s like there’s a different set of rules for Trump to other politicians - perhaps he’s still not regarded as one?Quote:
