SF has been "destroyed" according to him. I'm all for a bit of hyperbole, but that guy just takes the piss!

I guess I thought most of his utterings are so ridiculous they couldn’t possibly be real. Thank you for your guidance @Triggaaaar

He actually believes that asylum seekers are people that have been let out of insane asylums. That's why he keeps going on about insane asylums.
That's f***ing unbelievable. He seems to have a real problem with soldiers who have either been captured, wounded, disabled or killed in the line of duty for the country he claims to care so much about.
It's not the first time he's expressed such warped sentiments about that particular demographic, he's done it a few times, and on at least one occasion referred to them as "losers".
What's so shocking is not the fact that he holds such incompassionate sensibilities, as we fully expect that of him, it's more the fact that he believes that it's acceptable to voice those sentiments in public and that he thinks they're going to endear him to the electorate. He honestly has no perception of how warped and perverse his mindset is and seems to believe that people in general are similarly minded.
But that's the result of living in his warped MAGA vacuum and surrounding himself with the validating sycophants that he does.

I don't know who made this, or where it originally came from, but somebody sent me this and now I have to inflict it on somebody else:
I'm sorry...

They cant bet as its ilegal, the USA has very complex and strict gambling laws. Its considered political corruption. Having said the laws are always changing. Below gives you an idea of the kind of basket case it is.

i got a story from someone who played one of Trumps courses. There was a sign up saying Trump got a hole in one here on the first round of the course. They pressed the caddies about it and apparently an invitation round of golf is not subject to the rules of golf so Trump left all the hole caps of on all the par 3s so it would be like aiming at Swiss cheese. He no doubt was not the only one to get a hole in one that day but the others don't own the course so do not get their own sign. Nothing illegal here or breaking the rules. Its Trump.
A book has been written about Trump’s relentless cheating at golf, and what it says about him:

I know full well they can't bet in the USA. I bet for part of my living FFS.
Betfair is THE market. It is the current percentage probability of who gets in (53/47 give or take) and over 50 million has been staked on it. The fact you can't bet on it in the US without a VPN is irrelevant. There won't be massive variance because if there was dickheads like me would be playing one betting platform off against the other which ultimately adjusts the price.
You can't use Betfair in India either but there are millions staked every time India play cricket..

So, if you think that put your money where your mouth is. That's what the betting markets are for. If for example, you think Trump has a 70% chance of winning stuck your life savings on. At the minute 50 million quid says he has a 47% chance. If you know better, lump on.But the markets got the last 2 trump elections wrong.

As of 2 days ago, USA Betting Markets showed Kamala Harris as the slight-favourite across major USA Betting sites (Bet365, BetMGM, Caesars, Sports Interaction, and Bet Victor). Interestingly (to me), this shift happened shortly after the Musk/Trump conversation on X/Twitter.
- Prior to 2 days ago, Trump and Harris were largely neck and neck across the majority of those markets.
I am very interested in their upcoming debate, I think it'll decide the next President.

The Irony of Republicans' 'Tampon Tim' Insult
Far from being mocked, menstrual equity enjoys broad bipartisan support in the U.S., writes Jennifer Weiss-Wolf.
Now nearly a decade later, periods have become a mainstream public policy priority. Far from being mocked or maligned, “menstrual equity” is an agenda that enjoys broad bipartisan support across the country. So far, 30 states have eliminated state sales tax on menstrual products (also known as the “tampon tax"), including a law signed last year by the Republican governor of Texas, Greg Abbott. Minnesota is one of 28 states committed by law and/or budget to providing menstrual products in schools, joined by states with Republican leadership like Georgia, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Utah.
In fact, in 2018, Trump himself signed the first-ever federal menstrual access requirement into law—the First Step Act, a 2018 prison and sentencing reform package that mandates menstrual product provision in federal prisons. In 2020 he went on to sign the CARES Act, which made it possible for the first time for employees to use their Flexible Spending Account allowances to buy menstrual products with pre-tax dollars.
As for the latest round of name calling, it seems the aspect of the Minnesota law that has conservatives most agitated is its language: the law states that pads and tampons must be available to “all menstruating students” and “in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12.” A failed attempt to amend the bill to only name “female restrooms,” did not keep it from passing as is with bipartisan support. Among its Republican supporters, Rep. Dean Urdahl remarked, “Just talking with my wife and family members, they felt like it was an important issue I should support.”
