The potential for Trump to have to declare bankruptcy must be quite high now. Yesterday’s ruling and the upcoming one for $330m where his guilt is already established and they are just deciding the amount may be close to wiping him out. I very much doubt he has the cash. He may be able to sell assets but the problem there is he inflated there value to borrow against them and there may not be as much(if any) equity in them as he thinks.

Won't he just raise it from his knuckledragging base? :dunno:Quote:

She might spring a surprise with the nomination. She seems to be gathering support for being anti-trump and someone moderates can unite behind.Quote:

She has one big thing going for is that she can beat Biden. I don’t think Trump can. If Republicans want to win then she is their best bet.Quote:

Quite. And they're openly saying they won't vote for anything that might reflect well on Biden. A bipartisan bill looked like a goer the other day, then Trump got involved, and Mitch McConnell said that, unfortunately,, the politics had changed.Quote:

He is. Is saw a screenshot of a $75million fundraiser on Twitter.Quote:

Biden won the New Hampshire primary last week with 64% of the vote, despite not even being on the ticket*, after a successful campaign to write his name on the ballot.Quote:

Seems Biden is a good judge of character on the weirdo that is Trump

Probably the dumbest clip I've ever seen, Trump is surrounded by imbeciles

When you think he can't surprise you with how abhorrent he is. Even right wingers like Reagan and Nixon would be disgusted in himQuote:

Trump will push countries like Taiwan and the Baltics to look at getting their own nuclear arsenal if they can't depend on the US

I still don’t think he will make it to the start line. I’m not sure Biden will either.Quote:

Johnson has a stated ambition to be a "war Prime Minister."
All through this Russian ambitions have been available in their statements and writings since the 1990's, alongside their stated psychop plans to divide the USA and the EU.
What chances the war in Ukraine doesn't expand? Its all there in front of our eyes.

An absolute disgrace that the best the US can come up with is Trump and Biden.
Then again, we've had Boris, Truss, Sunak and Starmer to come.
Will we ever again see an intelligent, inspiring, empathetic leader in either country?
Wow on Friday Trump said the NRA that he would mobilise 150k-200k national guards immediately to start deporting millions of immigrants. Aides say The army would have to be made up from people from red states and travel into blue states. Maybe they could use cattle trains!
"When I am President, on Day One, instead of fighting Texas, I will work hand in hand with Governor Abbott and other Border States to Stop the Invasion, Seal the Border, and Rapidly Begin the Largest Domestic Deportation Operation in History. Those Biden has let in should not get comfortable because they will be going home"

To round up migrants, Miller said, Trump would dispatch forces to “go around the country arresting illegal immigrants in large-scale raids.” Then, it would build “large-scale staging grounds near the border, most likely in TX,” to serve as internment camps for migrants
From these camps, admin would schedule constant flights returning migrants to their home countries. Miller: “You create this efficiency by having these standing facilities where planes are moving off the runway constantly, probably military aircraft, some existing DHS assets"
Jason Houser, former ICE Chief of Staff, says removing 500k to 1 million migrants a year could require as many as 100,000–150,000 deputized enforcement officers. Staffing the internment camps and constant flights that Miller is contemplating could require 50,000 more people
