    Should've seen their faces when I suggested giving Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona etc back to Mexico instead of building a wall.


    California as well

    There is no equivalence between Trump and Biden though
    Biden has a history of being the Mob's man in Baltimore.

    A few months back, the Democrats did a poll of 'gettable' voters in some of the swing states. They excluded people from the sample who had voted for Trump or were likely to, and tried to find out what they knew about some of his more extreme statements. And basically, most of them hadn't heard or read any of it.

    It's known that one of the most important factors in voters' choice is where they get their news and information, with Trump voters likely to be getting their info /disinfo from social media or the more extreme cable outlets, rather than newspaper journalism or mainstream news programmes where the extreme right and the conspiracy theorists have a strong foothold. In the more fragmented media landscape we have now, it's going to be really important for the Democrats (and the non-right in the UK and elsewhere) to learn how to use it and to take information to where people are at now.
    Takes a lot of money. The Russians spand millions promoting far right and a few far left entities world wide. Whatever causes friction, divides. The main themes they put are emotionally driven lies, so that's a lot to combat and undermines any message.

    Russian influence is reported in the UK but has barely gained any traction. The incidents and narratives of what has happened since Blair offered the Oiligarchs a home in the UK (and a home in a UK offshore dependency for their cash) to when the Reform supporting Facebook pages were taken down last week is still an untold story for the public, but it's all part of the same story.

    Labour need to bring it to the fore. Doesn't have to be big headlines. Do something like audit MI5/6, don't just publish the Russia report but recommence it with a broader remit - remember they were tasked NOT to look for evidence which is fishy as.


    To back the idea up that there is undoubtedly Russian interference, Boris Johnson, husband of "The Conservative Friends of Russia" founder Carrie Symonds, said with his mouth that wasn't any, not a sausage. Which means there must have been.

    Labour won't be surrounded by friends when they arrive in power. They have to plant their feet a bit.

    "Russian influence is reported in the UK but has barely gained any traction."

    Seriously? They payrolled Brexit and helped fund the crooks that have been governing the UK for over a decade.

    I'm talking about the actual reporting of what has happened. The traction it has in the culture is what needs the media's attention.

    I don’t bet at all these days but still keep an eye on the odds of various things out of interest.

    Joe Biden is up at 7/1 to win the US election which seems crazy seeing as he’s still stating the intention to stand.

    Kamal Harris only 4/1 for someone not current standing and Trump very low odds.

    I think Biden will stand down before the end of the month and Harris will be President.

    Another completely incoherent speech from him for the 4th of July and BBC reporting that democrat donors are threatening to pull funding. Can’t see him lasting much longer.

    Surely the answer is for Biden to step down both from the election race and maybe even as president citing I'll health brought on by the stress of the additional workload the election is adding to his already stressful job.
    Let Harris step up in his place both as nominee and acting president.

    Harris should be the ideal candidate and I thought he would have passed the baton to her mid term already. She’s been pretty anonymous though. I eonder why.

    It’s pretty normal though. The vice president doesn’t really have a role in the US unless the President dies. That’s all they are really for.

    Or they can invoke the 25th I think it is and make the president stand down?

    Or am I watching too much TV?

    Don’t think so but on Biden’s performances, there would be a change of success. Although they’d never do it as it would be political suicide for the GOP to exploit

    Not long now. Will be fascinating to watch how they do the handover. Straight to Harris or a contested convention?

    an hour later he called vice-president Kamala Harris "vice-president Trump" in front of a national TV audience



    Trump has been pretty quiet since the release of those epstein files but he's made a lot of name gaffes as well

    Harry Sisson on X: "Here are 3 minutes straight of Donald Trump confusing people and messing up people’s names. I’m sure the Republicans won’t talk about this though! https://t.co/GORqIizdNl" / X

    When you introduce Zelenskiy as "President Putin", then surely you've really lost it.

    Time to stand down, Mr Biden.
