Yes. They should have read more Kipling.

I've been listening to a lot of commentators on this and I'm siding with them that it will be Harris by a reasonable margin. Not a landslide but a win none the less.

The arguments for this are the demographics of the early voters. There are huge amounts of democrats voting and of those there are more women than men, which is unusual from what they say. There are also a lot of young voters registered which will likely vote for Harris.

If you look at any of Trumps last events they are lack lustre and more bizarre than usual with his saying he will protect women whether they like it or not and then weirdly giving the microphone some very weird attention?

His stunt with the bin lorry and doubling down on the whole Garbage thing which is not going down well with the Porto Ricans apparently.

One of the most respected pollsters was showing Harris up in places that should have been republican, and Lichtman (who has a system for predicting the results not based on polls - right on the last 9/10 election) is predicting Harris


Trump is his own worst enemy. He is so egotistical that he can't say that he might be losing in the polls so has to say they are fake news. So he can't rally his base as he'd have to say that he is polling badly. Quite amusing really.

Given America's past history I suspect the winner will be obvious.

Will they vote for a psychopathic, corrupt, pathological lying Fascist or a Woman.

I wonder I wonder I wonder

Anybody who has watched one of his speeches can see he is totally unsuited to a position of high power.

The cognitive decline, the moral depravity, the narcissism

It doesn’t take much reasoning to see it

I wonder how the residents of Clacton are feeling about Nigel Farage finding time in his busy schedule of representing them to nip over to Pennsylvania to give Trump a helping hand …

Guarantee that those residents of Clacton who are Reform inclined will love it. 'Cos let's face it, hard of thinking and Reform voting go hand in hand.

It's a bit rich of the lefties on here vilifying Trump when just look who they chose to be their saviour and second coming! If I was a left wing voter I'd be utterly ashamed of who I voted into office. You really couldn't make it up and then they have the audacity to say Trump will be a disaster...like the profligate liar Starmer won't I suppose!

Anyone with the brain of a ferret which seems to exclude many people of a certain political leaning, could see the kind of leader he'd make when he was leader of the opposition and nothing has changed so stop insulting the American people and look at your own shortcomings first!

The juxtaposition there is delicious, and depressing:

So, an obscenely rich man paying people to talk-up 'freedom of speech' (oh, the irony) and gun rights. Yes, US politics and judiciary are in a pitiful state.

They are two entirely different situations! You cannot compare our two governments.

For one thing Harris, although considered 'left' is still more 'right' than our 'left'.

The differences between our Left and Right are not that vast, thankfully.

Good morning Tony. Did we get out of bed on the wrong side again? Give us a kiss .

Despite apparently having a brain less than the size of a ferret, I'm going to give Starmer a little longer than the scant few months he's had in office before I make a judgement. He's got a bit of a mess to clear up first.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Atm he's making it at about ten times the speed he's clearing it up.

I have come to the conclusion that Tony is on a massive wind up. He's probably an erudite Guardian reader in reality .

Whenever I see Starmer talking I always think "oooh Betty".

Time will tell. See you in five years. (Hopefully )

I didn't vote for Starmer as leader, nor for Labour at last election (first time in my life).
But even I recognise that Starmer is more or less a normal member of the human race, particularly when compared to the extremely weird orange psychopathic dangerous monster the yanks are having to face!
Trump is stranger than fiction.
Maybe our Tony is the one with brain of ferret? Or is it the relentless head banging?
