His audience even laugh to begin with thinking he’s joking….,

Clearly unfamiliar with Pakistan too…..

It's been a real banner few years for some of the dumbest people on the planet. Looking at the Tories and what passes for a Republican these days, my god. I've never been more glad to live in Ireland. Whatever can be said about the people at the top over here, they are at the very least somewhat competent and reasonable

He certainly got a boost from being shot at, but there's plenty more road to run in this campaign imo

He just caused the markets to drop by answering a question about Taiwan

Our time will come eventually, I'm sure. These culture war incels seem to be coagulating across the globe and making more noise, no reason to think we're immune

Yep, it seems that all countries have decided to get involved in a race to the bottom right now.

….the odds suggest it’s now almost a done deal. Not as convincing as Labour’s pre-election odds but Trump is a very strong favourite. What a concern;

It’s not like the UK elections where the campaign just lasts a few weeks. We’re still nearly FOUR MONTHS from Election Day. There’s going to be a lot of twists and turns.

Both candidates are ancient, one just survived an assassination attempt by literal millimeters. There’s nothing even close to a guarantee that both, or either, will be alive come November.

maybe they burnt the crown paint factory down because the hate the RS?

Schiff calls on Biden to drop out.
First of the big boys I suppose.

Time for change!

 

[tsubaki]

This surely is unsustainable now, Biden has to drop out.

Dems are just handing GOP the WH

The writing was on the wall a year ago. The political machine just decided they didn’t want to see it. Now it’s hot water time. Harris has a chance. Another candidate might have a better chance. Joe has no chance.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Schiff and Pelosi are very close. He is done even if he doesn't realize it and sadly, he doesn't.

Isn't Harris bad candidate in general (from what i read)?
Being prosecutor that apparently everyone hated, California connection (that everyone hates).
Unpopular even in her own party.
Its not surprise those behind the scenes planning for someone else.

She wasn't super popular on the national stage but she did well in CA, re elected DA and reelected Senator.
I think, given the threat Trump poses, the democrats and any sane independent will accept anyone who's in any way coherant.
The dems should wait till after the RNC and announce Harris.
Biden should now try and unite the party around her.
"If not me, her" stuff.
Nominate her at the DNC.
She'll have every vote biden has right now and might energize the black and women vote.
She might even get in some younger voters.
Just watch Trump avoid the September debate like the plague.
