Hahahahaha, like she destroyed sweet little Tulsi Gabbard. Oh wait, beautiful Tulsi Gabbard made her look a bit of a fool and the media laughed at her and she then dropped out of the race with 1 per cent. I can't wait to see how Harris "destroys" Trump, lol. I think you'll be in for a nasty surprise, CJ.

I don't think he really did care if the mics were on or off. He would have debated either way, because this is a close race and he is so vain he'll believe he'll win the debate easily either way. What he did care about was not to be messed around by Harris or ABC. That's why he made it clear that he'll not accept any rule change. Because even if ABC had fallen through he knows another network would have done it for him on his rules. Easy Peasy. It all makes sense.

Well since I would have been aware that this case will drag out to 2025 anyway, I would not have seen this as a big priority. And given that there were two presidential election campaigns under way I would have thought it fairer not to interfere in that process. However, that's just me, as a fair minded individual. I'm not a Jack Smith, trying to make a career out of pleasing my Democrat employers. Smith knows very well this case will drag on til 2025. Why would he have to bring the indictment now? Surely only because it's a political maneuvre to make Trump look bad, make him look like a criminal again. But this tactic is like howling at the moon. Pointless. Expeditiously? Everyone knows it will not be before 2025 that this case is decided. Assuming Trump doesn't throw it out when he's in the White House.

He's already won one though. So that will be the second one. And Harris doesn't want more then? Is she chickening out?

Food waste is a serious problem. The key is to check the fridge and freezer constantly to realise what you have and what goes bad. For some reason the spring onions bought at the market go bad within a day or two here even in the fridge. You have to do that laborious Chinese trick of putting them in water, cutting off the bad parts and covering them. Thank God for the girlfriend. Otherwise, sauces you can multi-use for pasta and mash, yes, agreed, But otherwise of course leftover mash with a fried egg and a Chinese sausage makes a great breakfast, you can get creative. I toasted one large slice of white bread too many. It got hard. Did I throw it away? No, I used the grater to make A Grade breadcrumbs for pasta and Tonkatsu.

Ummm, Trump is very much in control. Harris tried to move the goalpost and change the rules last minute in her benefit. Trump basically said "either my rules or no debate". Harris caved in. The debate will take place, but on the rules Trump wants. How is he not in control???

He seems in an awful hurry to file that indictment. I wonder why, lol.

That's right, but they don't seem to take that as very important, strangely. The Filipina had no job, no land, no nothing, no ties to Phil at all. We basically made the argument we'd never break the immigration rules because we may wish to marry and live in the UK, so we would never have any interest in breaking immigration rules. It worked. It shouldn't. But it did. I think because we were honest and followed that lawyer's advice.

But I never said Smith tried to delay it??? But why does he file the indictment now out of all periods, when the hot election campaigns are under way? Coincidence?

And of course Jack Smith, the Democrat appointee, brings this in the hot phase of the election campaign period. The sole aim is to discredit Trump, but that card has been played too often. They should know by now Trump is immune to this.

It's a non story, the Supreme court ruled presidents have robust immunity, so Jack Smith had his papers graded and was told he failed, so he's doing a resit now, having exercised all the portions he thinks he got wrong the first time around. However, this case would drag to 2025 at least, by which time Trump will be in the White House and will dismiss the case, as he has a legal right then. And immunity for it, thanks to Jack Smith and the Supreme Court.

With UK immigration it's important to always be honest. I went to see a lawyer at a top UK law firm about bringing my Filipina into the UK, we had the option to rely on somewhat massaged employment documents, but the lawyer counselled against it. He said just tell the truth. Even though she had no job at all it was not a problem and that lawyer was right, though he said it could have gone either way. She got the visa and was able to come into the UK. Of course she turned out to be a cheating skank, so that could be a much bigger problem.

How about Biden saying Facebook was killing people during Covid?

Lol, Russia's economy is not in "freefall". It's soaring. "An influential global body has forecast Russia's economy will grow faster than all of the world's advanced economies, including the US, this year. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects Russia to grow 3.2% this year, significantly more than the UK, France and Germany." https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68823399

Well, your first sentence was correct. But of course the hybrid has real practical benefits, it's not a "feel good" purchase. The benefits are of course reduced fuel costs and avoiding the range anxiety which BEV drivers would have, because you can fuel up a hybrid at any petrol station. You can't do the same with a BEV. A hybrid makes a lot of sense for a lot of people, as the sales figures show.

And from the same link: Even though hybrids thrive in city driving, it's not all bad news on the highway. In general, hybrid systems provide a fuel-economy boost in steady-state, high-speed driving as well.

This is the stuff I used. Works great.

Absolutely, when she debated Tulsi Gabbard she was taken to task for her poor prosecutorial record and she had no real answers. Even the news people were making fun of her.

Last I saw she was on the national stage endorsing Trump and helping him prepare for his debate against Harris. The beautiful and lovely Ms Gabbard has been extremely helpful in this campaign and we should probably prepare for her to get a significant post when Trump is back in the White House.

Well we will get the debate. On the same rules as before. Let the better man, or woman, take the glory.

Looking at Ben Wallace, he's a career soldier, not a diplomat or scholar. And he's not the brightest tool in the box either: "In August 2019, Wallace was overheard discussing Johnson's controversial prorogation of parliament with Florence Parly, the French Armed Forces minister. He suggested that the reason for the prorogation for five weeks was to prevent MPs from blocking the government's Brexit plans, rather than the government's official position that it was to introduce a new legislative agenda. 10 Downing Street responded to his comments by admonishing him and stating that he had "misspoken"." Loose lips and giving away government policy, okay. What else? "On 23 February 2022, Wallace was filmed saying that the Scots Guards "kicked the backside" of Nicholas I of Russia during the Crimean War, and could do so again. Russia invaded Ukraine the following day." So a delusional national chauvinist to boot. Okay. Russia has invaded the Donbass. Where are the Scots Guards now, Mr Wallace? Okay, so he's a delusional chauvinist, but he's a smart guy, he wouldn't be easily fooled, right? "On 21 March 2022, clipped footage of Wallace in a prank call by Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus was released online. The duo (suspected by the British government to have links to Russian security services or of being Russian state actors) impersonated the Ukrainian prime minister Denys Shmyhal saying that Ukraine wished to promote its own nuclear deterrent to protect itself from Russia, a false claim made by the Russian government during the Russo-Ukrainian War and the invasion of Ukraine. Wallace was believed to be on a Microsoft Teams call with the duo for ten minutes." Ali G would have had a field day with Ben Wallace, lol. Okay Clearly Mr Ben Wallace is not the brightest man in the world, just a career soldier and nationalist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician)

We have to look at the facts. Has Putin ever said he wants to annex all of the UKraine? No. He has said however that he wants the Donbass. What is happening? The main fighting is in the Donbass. Why can't we just look at what's on record, what Putin said, and what is happening on the ground? Surley that will gives us a better indication than speculating or some article which just happens to spew exactly the same propaganda lies as NATO does on its website, when they took Putin's view on history and misconstrued it as a master plan to occupy all of Eastern Europe and to resconstitute Imperial Russia. Someone is lying to us here, but it's not Putin.

Well, if Harris has this humongous and unassailable lead in the polls, as some people here believe, why would she risk a debate with the man who slayed the current president in a debate? She could then skip the debate altogether. However, clearly Harris does not have the unassailable lead some believe, instead she knows she needs the chance to do well in a debate, even if it is not on her terms. Nah, Trump never intended not to debate, he only wanted the old rules retained which worked so well against Biden.

And what do you have to be not to realise the link was from the Washington Post, not Trump's media co?
