My bookmakers are still forecasting a Trump win. This was not their position immediately after Harris was nominated when odds for Trump were 2 to 3-1 against. Bookies are not always right, of course, but they usually are otherwise they wouldn't be in business.

I refer to your comment that you 'don't encounter these kinds of people'. Is this a reference to Clinton's 'deplorables' ?

Rather pathetic bringing Trump into this.

I wonder how many of Earth's people realise that their planet will eventually be destroyed by the Sun. For the human race to survive it will be necessary for huge numbers to have found another place to live long before that happens.

There are far too many people based in temples who should never have been allowed to join the monkhood.

Lighten up.

Personally I follow elections in the USA closely. As a Brit born in the early days of WW2 I value a friendly relationship with America. As a result I have been disturbed by Biden's antipathy towards the UK which is why I am following the Harris/Trump with interest.

Good point. The one in the pic is not used any more, since the kids grew up.

The view from the balcony of our house in Rayong. Personally, if I had to choose between a quiet room or a room with a view, I would take the room a view. Restful and calming even if there is noise outside.

Nonsense.

What exactly is your problem ?

Entirely wrong. The islands, which are over 2000 Kms distance from Mauritius, belong to the Chagossians. Mauritius laid claim to them, under Chinese influence, following independence in 1968.

Brits need to wake up. They are being betrayed from within.

An American friend who worked on a security detail at Mar a Lago told me Trump has a great sense of humour.

I reckon India would just about beat Thailand in a contest for which of the two is the most accomplished litterer.

My wife likewise, and me also. I recently, foolishly, gave the number of a bank card to a very legitimate-sounding caller, only to wake up and realize I was being scammed. Of course I immediately cancelled the card. Scammers are becoming highly sophisticated and clever. Caution needed at all times.

Some will say 'how sweet', others 'pass the vomit bucket'.

'Could be partially responsible....no explicit order'. In other words, not guilty.

Musk has not become the richest person in the world by accident. He is a businessman through and through. His strategies throughout his career to date have been highly successful, to put it mildly. Worth paying attention to who he supports, and why.

Google has become. sadly and increasingly. a waste of time.

Fair question. I doubt, though, you will get even one sensible answer.

Well said.

What it says is, to repeat the insult made by a former losing candidate, that Trump supporters are the 'Deplorables'. That lost her the election.

Lighten up !

Using bar lingo the expression 'cheap Charlie' comes mind.
