I was thinking 15 years would have been more appropriate. She was a nasty bully, conning millions of dollars from well meaning investors and putting patients lives at risk with inaccurate diagnosis. Her strategic pregnancies were also distasteful. One before the trial, one before sentencing. Now her strategy for clemency has failed so those children will spend the first 10 years of their lives talking to their mother in a prison meeting room. What a character. Bill Clinton couldn't have been more wrong with his assessment of her. "Don't worry about the future. We're in safe hands" he said of her.

Good move Elon. Freedom of speech must prevail above the silencing and cancel culture of the left.

Pelosi was an awful leader of the house. Her childish behaviour was an embarrassment for US politics, dramatically ripping up Trump's speech like a spoilt teenager was a good example of her poor judgement. Extremely unprofessional. Hopefully her replacement conducts themselves with more grace. Having said that, I wish her a happy retirement. I'm hearing the camera footage of the attack on her husband may be released shortly, so stepping back from the limelight now might just be great timing if the rumours are true about it not matching the official narrative.

Your boy Prayut set the tone. Why should the people solve problems with peaceful conversation when the likes of P steals the country with tanks and guns? What an example to set. Shameful. As is your support.

His surname is quite appropriate. His monologue was quite a stretch. I wonder if rants like this will become the new justification for abuses around the world. "Don't criticize us for having slaves because the West had them a few centuries ago". They seem to conveniently forget the contribution the West made to ending slavery, to advancing technology, medicine etc. Still, all these mental gymnastics are quite amusing. Champagne socialists Neville and Lineker justifying earning huge salaries for going there and covering the tournament, Southgate continuing to virtue signal meaninglessly. It's quite the show.

Should have fought on "Thai Fight". Channel 3? Didn't watch for a while. Thai TV, Thai audience, Thai matchmakers, Thai judge. Thai always win. Thai so strong. Let's see how they do at the Olympics.

Biden and Harris????? If this is the best the US has to offer, with Von Der Leyen leading the European federalist project, the West has huge problems. The East shall rise.

As long as your phone is charged up and has a 4g/5g sim card, why would a power cut affect it? But I'm with you on preferring cash, especially given that some of my spending wouldn't look too good on my monthly credit card statement.

I believe so. That's why it's fun to speculate. Aren't forums great!

Actually, the topic is Trump running in the 2024 election. Therefore, the 2024 election is also part of the thread. Trump is not the only one running in that. I know you'd like every post on this forum to be restricted to "Orange Man bad" and removed if it does not conform to that rule, but unfortunately that's not the way things work. Hope that clears things up...

I guess he could be the lesser of two evils now that he's been neutered. I just wish he'd stop embarrassing himself (and the country) on the national stage. Maybe he could just stop talking, that seems like a fair compromise.

I wasn't talking about Trump. I know you can't get him out of your head, but do try to at least read the posts before posting. Good lad.

No doubt Biden will be out soon to rebadge this result as a tremendous victory for the Dems. ???? On a more serious note, anything that can put the reigns on Biden's disastrous stint as President must be a good thing for the country. Hopefully he will do the decent thing now and step down.

It's also a pity humility cannot be bottled for those who cannot accept when they are wrong.

The other poster referenced the last year, a mature president, and the white house. Sounds like Biden to me. Who did you think he was referring to?

Yes I paraphrased his post. He said "I think the international events of the past year have demonstrated precisely why it’s important to have an experienced President in the WH." I paraphrased that his position was "the last year had shown how we needed a mature President". It was an accurate summary of what he said. I referenced Biden to contradict his position. Remind me, how is that not truthful?

Actually another poster stated how the last year had shown how we needed a mature President. Biden was the President this last year and at 79 you could be kind and call him "mature". So I refuted his assertion. Hope that's OK boss...

I was responding to Ozimoron's assertion that he wasn't at all concerned with Biden's mental capacity because he has advisors "advising" him. Maybe you should check with him.

The conversation had evolved beyond the OP. Do try to keep up. Of course, when people don't like the direction of travel and start losing the argument, they scream "off topic". It's all they've got. edit for typo.

Why would he not be concerned with his mental capacity if he thought he would consider the advice given to him carefully? That process of careful consideration requires mental capacity. Think about it for a while before replying, I prefer not to explain it a third time.

Au contraire. There is also a saying "The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend". If what you were saying were true, Ozimoron would be indeed be concerned with his mental capacity. Because he knows Biden would need the mental capacity to listen to the advice, and then weigh up the options and opinons and reach a sensible conclusion. Only if he were blindly following the advice would his mental capacity be of no concern.

Maybe we should let his advisors make all the decisions? Who voted for them? How Democratic.

It's sad isn't it. Electing someone because he isn't someone else. Hardly a ringing endorsement is it? American politics is in a sad state.

The last election proves beyond any doubt that many Americans felt the same way.

"Hey, look over there!". Trump being bad doesn't make Biden good.
