The Democrat playbook seems to be keeping Biden relatively quiet and letting Trump do Biden's work for him. On a side note the Senate elections could be very interesting. Could end up with a Senate majority for the Dems meaning they controlled both houses.

It's possibly one of the scariest aspects of US politics, that everything is so divisive. No room for anyone in the centre.

Possibly, but for thesake of balance let's remember that both sides have a lunatic fringe. Remember the Bernie campaigner who shot at Republicans at the charity baseball game?

The 'election was rigged' has been a line used by Democrats in the past (Florida when Bush won). The question of Trump not accepting defeat has been asked and apparently the security in the White House will forcibly eject him. I'm unsure to what extent anyone will rise up on his behalf. His...

In the US it refers to a practice which can see certain individuals banned from speaking at certain events. The most common being campus talks where a figure has a talk there cancelled or informed that they won't be invited to speak there. Another form is where advertisers on a show will be...

Trump gets to avoid Stone being offered a deal to talk and gets to set the agenda. You'd think the media in the US would have got wise to this. In the meantime the stories which would cause Trump problems with either his base or the floating voters sink below the radar.

Trump has tried to keep his tax records away from investigation since he was elected. The fact that in the run up he said he'd release them has been used to support the argument that Trump never wanted to win. The idea goes that he wanted to set up his own news agency and was going to play the...

That was the assumption, but it's a bit of an insulting generalisation the more you think about it (and by that I don't mean you personally!) People tend to vote in the US more along other lines. For example Trump got more of the Latino vote in 2016 than expected, despite running an...

Interesting developments with Kanye. Seems to be running on a Conservative ticket, might pull voters away from Trump. The idea of him being there to take votes away from Biden only works if he can echo him and if you have a very disciplined campaign. Kanye and Trump aren't likeky to have that...

I've ordered my own pc via the options above and a few years later had the chaps at Diamond Computers upgrade it. Unsure if they are open but they are a cracking lot and a local shop as well!

It's a familiar thing. Player leaves and was wrong, let's hope he fails. Also sometimes used as a yardstick to beat current players with. Likewise any player who retires from international duty. While playing for the country he was nit good enough, retires and suddenly a cracking player who we...

Unsure if it's been mentioned but Dan Carlin did a series on the revolution in the USA and it's break from rhe British in his 'Revolutions' podcast. Very interesting and gives a better perspective into how the US sees itself.

Another document we won't see the list of names the FBI are putting lines through which Maxwell will agree weren't involved. Those picked up will be the safer ones to prosecute.

Either, not done intentionally (I'm not convinced Trump has the nuance). Or done intentionally with the purpose of creating a point of controversy. Trump has got away with so much scrutiny because (if intentional) he lobs out controversial talking points when he wants the focus on him...

I'm surprised the flight logs for Epstein's plane haven't come to the fore. I thought they are required to have a passenger list? Could be very damning. Particularly for anyone claiming that they didn't know him. As for Maxwell, to quote Blackadder "accidentally brutally cut her head off while...

It's not necessarily going to pick someone off a sofa and deposit them in a bookies but it all has the effect of normalising football with betting. You hear odds in commentaries these days and bookies with updates on a particular market. Even Sky had criticism with the 'if the FUN stops...'...

In fairness I was referring to his early games and how the commentator's were all about him and very little about any other player on the pitch. As ever the Championship is highly entertaining as a competition!

remember watching one of Rooney's first games with them. Commentater and pundit spent the game blowing up every 5 yard pass as sublime. In reality he was way off the pace, which is understandable. Derby scored from a ball hoofed from a free kick near the half way line. It was a scrappy goal but...

Trump's approval rating amongst white evangelicals is falling. Ouch. As mentioned this demographic is important to him. He recently did the bible photo opportunity presumably to win support back. The recent loss in the Supreme Court won't have helped. It's more attrition, I don't see them...

some interesting Supreme Court decision in today. Another defeat for Trump, this time on abortion. It night not seem important but one of Trump's boasts was how he'd ensure a more right leaning Supreme Court. He really courted this demographic and they backed him purely because he was their man...
