US Politics

Sadly Biden has got on with governing rather than stacking the courts etc. Trump is going to bulldoze the remaining checks and balances. Things will be fucked for years and years to come.

So all they really wanted all along was a King?

It's also cool because just like 'Rogue One' segued into the beginning of 'Star Wars', we get to see the Civil War prequel but in real life.

Make America Great (Britain) Again

He'll be back on the street in October with added martyr status. Good timing for giving the Trump campaign a boost.

For the love of the mother why on earth would a resident of the UK want US-style madness brought here? Keep them at arm’s length until they sort themselves out.

You missed the point.
The manifesto is exactly what trump intends to impose.
Getting rid of the Environment Protection Agency for example: not just cutting back but completely erasing the entire agency and firing all the employees.
Plan 2025 is an extreme makeover of government.

What would the liberal justices achieve by walking out?
Trump would replace them with more assholes like Kavanaugh and Thomas.
How is that better?
If you think its ”sending a message” you’re out of your mind. Magats don’t give a shit what libtards think.

a few sources saying the epstein / pedo island files got released yesterday / or were ordered to be released, not 100% sure which ? is this true and is it true there are links between trump and some very underage girls ?

surely some independent / non political media sources must be reporting this if the files were released ?

FOX: Would you declassify the 9/11 files?
TRUMP: Yes.
FOX: Would you declassify the JFK files?
TRUMP: Yes.
FOX: Would you declassify the Epstein files?
TRUMP: Well... uh... I don't know about the Epstein files as much...

Needs context don't you think? And a link?

The post above adds a fair amount.

Would be nice to know why the papers have decided not to run it.

Isn't that one of those deep fake videos?

After the relief that the UK opinion polls were fairly accurate, back to seeing Biden be defiantly in denial about his situation. Is there some law of physics requiring the total amount of lunacy in the world to be constant?

Watching clips from the most recent interview with Biden. Oooff...
I could be wrong, but is Harris even more invisible right than what would be normal for a VP candidate at this stage?

White House releases more details on Biden’s health after press room shouting match

This is going great, huh? This is our last line of defence against a fascist America. Incredible stuff.

I really don't get why Trump isn't subjected to the same level of pile-on when he repeatedly spouts out non-sensical gibberish. He is barely coherent a lot of the time.

I think the serious news institutions see a real chance of him being re-elected and are terrified of what he will do in office. The insanely one sided coverage, post the debate does nothing but increase that likelihood.

Because he’s a fascist and uses the threat of violence to silence anyone who speaks out against him.

Yes. There's an uncomfortable feeling in the US right now, that NYT and some of the other institutions are more concerned with the future of the 'business' part, rather than equal handed reporting of the news.

Biden is so bad he makes Trump sound like a master orator. The only hope is Biden somehow gets it together and scrapes the win. I don’t see the Dems ousting Biden.

The Dems who have spoken up have probably done too much damage for Biden to have a chance now (on top of the damage already done by his own denialism). He needs to go for them to have any chance, and he won't. Unless someone dresses up as God and marches into the Oval Office telling him to go, which they really should do.

That's not true - Biden has never been the best public speaker, but he can maintain coherency through a delivery, even if via the teleprompter. Trump sounds crazy with all sorts of tics and nonsensical asides. The enormous difference is that the media don't report it, or do so as a footnote. They have zero interest in trying to drive a wedge between trump and the republican apparatus because there is no window to do so. With Biden, they're falling into the trap of trying to force the issue to make the news, rather than report on it.
