Harris proved by her abject failure on the border, that she is incapable of running an entire country.

I don't think he will. IMO he is so far gone mentally that he has no capacity to realise that he should step out. I'm sure there is a psychiatric term to describe such. If he did have the capacity to understand his own condition, I'm sure he would have been long gone, for the benefit of his party and the country. I reckon they will invoke the 25th so they can get him out with enough time to big up a more competent candidate. While I'm happy that the anti Trumpsters are facing humiliation in November, I feel a bit sad for Biden that he has lost it so publicly.

Unless it is your contention that minorites are being lynched, IMO the only thing needed is for the law to be colour blind. If a crime is committed it should be a crime whatever the victim's ethnicity. I despise the idea that some groups should be treated differently now because of historical problems.

Rwanda.

Oh that has to a classic in the annals of American jurisprudence. It's not often that justice is so dramatically served.. As for the case itself, I assume it was one of those cases by which a prosecutor wanted to make a name for themselves by prosecuting a famous person. If so they certainly have, but not in the way intended.

I would not be surprised if black people would be insulted at the idea that they vote for someone just because of the colour of their skin.

I'm sure they do, but the voters want Trump. Try getting around that, why don't you? He's doing quite well for a sex offender, convicted criminal and serial liar. How will you get on if after January you wake up every day to president Trump?

Your belief that a term of incarceration would prevent Trump becoming POTUS is rather quaint. Even supposing that he was sent to prison, he'd be let out to be POTUS. The US is already looking like something out of a Marx Brother's movie, and the idea that foreign dignitaries would have to visit him in jail is

Though he might not have the stamina he certainly has the mental acuity to do the job , I just about fell off my chair laughing when I read that. If your grandfather was as incoherent as Biden without a teleprompter, would you not be concerned for his mental condition? Anyone that misspeaks, mumbles or loses his train of thought as much as Biden without a teleprompter obviously has a mental challenge. If people didn't think he was the only one capable of beating Trump would he still be in the W H? I did what I said I would do, stabilized the country Seriously, I don't know which parallel universe you live in, but it's pretty apparent the US is not "stabilised". How did "uniting the country" work out, LOL. I wish someone would say that to Biden. Having heard a speech he have in the US yesterday, in which he tried to reassure the people that he still had it, I will not be at all surprised to hear that they invoked the 25th amendment, if he doesn't step down voluntarily. IMO every day he continues in office is a loss of respect by unfriendly countries around the world. It must be cheering up Putin, Kim and Xi immensely.

We can argue about Trump for the next 5 years if you like,but suffice to say that IMO anyone voting for Harris will come to regret being so stupid.

You really are flailing about trying to find something worth saying. To hear you, it's like if the GOP can come up with another candidate that they'd rather have than Trump, they could just tell Trump to get lost. It doesn't work like that, but I'm not going to give lessons on how US politics works. The difference between Trump and Harris is that Trump has millions of supporters and more millions that will likely vote for him because they hate Washington, while Harris failed miserably in the primaries, is unlikable, incompetent, and epitomises Washington. How many people do you think would turn up to hear her in a Trump style rally? Nevertheless, I certainly don't know what the US political landscape will look like in 4 months, and that is the only poll that counts.

I never mentioned a phoney war. The one in Ukraine is hardly phoney for the boys dying in it. Shall I also condemn every other warmonger on the planet to satisfy your baiting? There are plenty of them to talk about if that is what you want, but it's like Ukraine is the only war going on to read some posts. I don't need to mention Putin as he is a dictator doing what dictators do. What annoys me though are those that think everyone on "our side" is a good person, which is a nonsense. The ones that want "us" to go in have obviously no idea of what a war is like, but I notice it's always other people that have to do the "going in" and the dying, while they post from thousands of miles away. It's not even as though they couldn't join in if they really wanted to- they will find something for even the oldest warmonger to do.

I spent a few years in Saudi and visited Bahrain and the Emirates. My opinion of that part of the world is not flattering, despite them having incredible amounts of our money, none of which came to them because they were astute businessmen and manufacturers. My opinion of the MSM is on a par with my opinion of Saudi.

Sadly, I believe it could be true. Truly, I despair for the west's future if that the best they can find to lead it.

Many on the planet IMO would not sleep well with her in charge. IMO if she is really the best the Dems have to replace him, we ( in the west ) are all screwed. Xi would wet himself laughing if she became POTUS, IMO.

and yet, presumably the same people rejected her in the primaries as a POTUS candidate. Clutching and straws comes to mind. They have a problem with the candidate being out to lunch mentally, and want to replace him with an unlikable and IMO incompetent contender- way to go. Seems the Dems cupboard really is bare when it comes to an alternative to Biden, LOL.

Thinking about it, the west is sending loads of weapons, planes etc to Ukraine to continue the fight. Don't hear much about them calling for peace negotiations on realistic terms. I guess you are correct in your opinion that the US doesn't want peace, as long as Ukraine can rustle up a few more bodies for the front lines.

You must have a good imagination, IMO. BTW in this situation stalemate is more harmful for Ukraine than Russia. Every man of the age is going to be terrified of the conscription police, and labour is going to be critically short with so many men in the front lines. Meanwhile reconstruction can't start if it's just going to get blown up again. If someone was invading your country, killing your civilians and kidnapping your children, what would your response be? Given i'm ex military likely I'd be called up, and in any event I'd fight. However, I'm not Ukrainian, don't live in Ukraine, never been there, don't know any Ukrainians, so it's not my fight. Let the Ukrainians die for their country, but it's of no more importance to me personally that Burma, and I'm not over there fighting either.

Is reality finally being accepted? I can't see Zelensky wanting that unless he was in real trouble. Doesn't fit with the narrative previously of no surrender. Meanwhile, will he still be attacking inside Russia and poking the bear? Not advisable if one wants a meaningful result. Seems that Trump has become so powerful in world politics that he hasn't even had an election and Zelensky is running for cover. I guess Zelensky thinks Trump is going to be a winner.

Agree. IMO politics in the US is so toxic that people will vote for the Dems, or for Trump, regardless of policies. No one cares for anything in the middle ground any more, far as I can see. It's like this forum. There are those that would vote for Biden regardless of his mental deterioration, and those that would vote for Trump even if he was convicted of every case brought against him.

Indeed. IMO those that think she would be a good president do so because they want a repeat of Obama. There is absolutely nothing to say that she would be the same as he, from her past presence in the W H.

I feel for you. If I liked him I'd also have been disappointed. He had both the senate and the house and passed nothing worthwhile, not even Obama care. As I recall, that was later after he lost the house. Tell me if that's wrong. Before anyone accuses me of disliking him because of his skin colour, remember I'm the one constantly reminding people only half black and brought up by his white mother.

IMO the western world barely survived the past 11 years of Obama, and I doubt it will survive another 8. If you hadn't guessed already, the only president I disliked more than Biden ( and Bush the younger ) was Obama. He would have made a great cabaret crooner, but he didn't do so well at being president, IMO.

IMO America was doomed the moment gender became changeable. From now on IMO, electing presidents is just filling in time before it's over. So long America, home of the brave. It was real, but the fat lady is warming up her vocal chords.

Better an incompetent president that doesn't start wars than someone so obviously mentally challenged that he might start a war by accident.
