Trump

[Thunder Bolt]

I even struggle to explain stoolball to my friends and colleagues up here in the north. Shame really - because it was the only sport I was actually much good at!

I had the same problem when living in Yorkshire, as they thought they invented cricket.

FWIW the bookies odd on a Trump win lengthened a bit overnight.

Must be desperate now, wondering what dirty tactics he'll employ with his fascist Russian mates?

He's very dangerous, I really would not put anything past him, I fear there is no depth he won't sink to to hang on at any cost.

The fact that the only scenario I can't see, IF he loses, is quiet acceptance, is somewhat alarming.


That said it won't be dull.

One thing that no-one has explained to me (and I've read several news outlets) is the significance of Hunter Biden's business dealings. Let's put aside the debate as to whether there's any truth in the stories or not and assume they are: these are not Joe Biden's emails.

Lots of politicians have relatives who are embarrassment - Trump's got a whole tribe of them. But I also recall Jimmy Carter's drunken brother, John Major's equally embarrassing brother, Thatcher's son (whose misadventures are too numerous to relate) and Ronald Reagan's daughter nude model, anti-nuclear activist daughter - I'm sure there are many more. But none of their misdeeds or opinions reflected on the politician, why should Biden be any different? I've not seen any publication explain this

The only way he can win now is dirty tactics. Although the volume of early voting - 42m as of last night - mitigates the effect of this. Trump's current odds are really poor value and driven by sentiment of his unexpected win 4 years ago.

2s on is a great price for Biden.

All over.

Yup. They moved swiftly on to the next question, it wasn't even acknowledged. But before they did, THAT was Trumps response. During the questioning, he said that these kids "are bought over by coyotes".

Mind. Blown.

"Coyote" is American slang for people smugglers across the Mexico border, so Trumps statement isn't as weird as it might seem.

Indeed. Poor Mary Trump is the exception to the rule in that dysfunctional family. No particular fan of Corbyn and the hatchet job the tory media have done on him. However, having that wingnut Piers as a brother does his cause no favours. Mick Jones once of the Clash is the cousin of Grant Shapps. If that isn't embarrassing enough, Shapps often name drops him. Something Jones doesn't do in return. Unsurprisingly.

You have to assume that he won’t accept the result of the election if he loses and won’t stand aside until a full investigation of postal votes has concluded. That could take some time. Meanwhile, will the educated minority take to the streets and protest?

There was a clear winner.

Looks like a legit poll.

Can't argue with FaCTs

4% error probably as I'm sure it should be 100%.

This was retweeted by the least racist man in America today and the best President for Black US citizens since Abraham Lincoln.

Was that a poll of the Trump family?

In a poll of KKK members, it's a surprise that Trump didn't make 100%.

If he loses outright then we'll be on to Plan B, feck knows what that is.

Plan A has been signaled since 2016.
Trump will fight the integrity of the postal vote.

To do that he needs the individual state legislature to back him.

This is where Mitch McConnell comes in and Tyrone is dead right:-
'Never trust a career politician'.

McConnell has quietly stacked these positions with GOP candidates.

So that is now very much in play.


Irrespective of what happens between 03/11 and 30/01/21 if Trump loses he must be gone then.
What happens between those 2 dates is anybody's guess.

He'll do a runner if he loses and will have roughly 11 weeks during which they cannot stop him leaving the country.
