Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

Interesting that you use the phrase “hillbilly”. Know that is in the title of the book that brought him to fame but always seemed more marketing than real to me.

Newsom is my governor and has historically been pretty similar to Harris on the positions he has taken, I doubt he would have looked at the political calculations of the situation and come to any different conclusions than Harris. And if you are thinking Gavin would have made idealistic, rather than political, choices then I don’t think you’ve really looked at his career.

Well his hands are at least clean.

And I think the way the Palestinian cause was treated last week in Chicago was nothing short of a disgrace.

I want the Democratic ticket to win, but they dont get a blank cheque, which I think they do from some people.

Glad to hear it!

I get the impression she's not very happy with her (disavowed) brother, and doubts her father would be very happy with his behaviour also

Tbf, JFK and RFK were hardly paragons of virtue themselves.

What are you referring to in relation to RFK?

 

[LinekersLegs]

Been going on a fun deep dive into “why Gen X likes Trump so much”, appreciate I have a somewhat odd sense of what is “fun”!

One of the more plausible theories I’ve seen is that Gen X were the last group who could still get a decent job straight out of school without college, that they understandably remember the time fondly so want to go back and believe (evidence free) that Teump will deliver it.

Not sure I buy the lead paint one

What are you referring to in relation to RFK?

He had his share of affairs and as Attorney General was an utter 'red basher'. Oh, he was also right behind JFK over the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban missile Crisis...but what's almost blowing the world up...certainly not worse than his son's conspiracy theories.

Kerry Kennedy is having a laugh there isn't she? Same as the rest of that clan's reaction over RFK jnr.

Jesus Christ , Dave you don't half come out with some clap trap.

Cuban Missile Crisis? He helped avoid nuclear war with the Soviet Union and Khrushchev putting missiles into Cuba. Yet you're blaming him for it!

Dave would you please grow to fcuk up and stop trumpeting opinions on every topic on GOT. We know you're a bright guy, go write a book or something.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

That wasn't a defence mechanism though was it?

You're absolutely right Dave, he's a disgrace for looking after his kid, better vote the Orange man in based off this.

Dave's been playing too much fallout mate.

"shopping for furniture" haha. love it, it just wont go away. Some kid with a random joke tweet ended JD Vance before he even got going!

The beat goes on

Bernie’s abc interview just masterful in walking the line between supporting Harris fully & enthusiastically while recognising his positions can still be different.

Not lost a step since 2016.
