  1. Not at all, deeply disappointed in a once great nation e.g. Marshall plan, something a trump like character would never do
  2. Says a lot about weaponising the US justice system - i.e. undemocratic
  3. The other way round, MAGA has been deceived.
  4. He was, Vance admitted it was a lie to motivate MAGA voters, but trump carried on with the nonsense
  5. agree...great conman - what does that say about those who voted for him?
  6. trump's proposed policies will dramatically increase the national debt - currently costing tax payers approx billion $85o p.a. in interest. Will increase inflation that is currently back in control and so on. US voters have been conned.
  7. it was...saved by God in order to be president
  8. We will see how the trump presidency unfolds. IMO anyone with White Supremacists and weirdo conspiracists as senior advisors is unfit to represent the Office of the President of the USA, but does demonstrate the nature of majority of American citizens either through ignorance or intention. Plus of course trump's numerous vile comments, let alone the tens of thousands of lies etc etc. IMO the USA and the Western world will look back at trump's presidency with deep regret. However, we will see what the next four years bring; hopefully I am wrong.
  9. Sadly looks as though trump has won the 2024 Election. The only blessings I can think off no whining and lies about election loss, no violence encouraged by the loser. I believe US society will deeply regret trump gaining power in the coming few years For me it's having to turn off the news very time I hear his voice.
  10. You asked...."Do you think Seattle, Chicago, Portland, New York and Los Angeles boarding up their downtown areas because MAGAs are going to riot when Harris wins? " My answer: No, but having re-read your above post my answer would be Yes. Apologies for my error.
  11. Also covered in US media. However, provide the links claiming Harris supporters are readying for violent protest. I suggest it isn't Democratic supports, but rather fringe elements such as anarchist's , criminal opportunists. etc
  12. Usual MAGA nonsense, deflecting / blaming the Dems for what they publicly stated wish to do which has been widely covered by credible media sources. Or as some prefer to define him as... new authoritarianism” that subverts democracy from within and solidifies power through administrative, rather than paramilitary, means. https://theconversation.com/is-donald-trump-a-fascist-no-hes-a-new-brand-of-authoritarian-241586
  13. No, but MAGA has already threatened some voting centres, where Dems expected to be majority, with additional security being provided. Some examples, there are others... https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/terrified-us-election-voters-panic-at-the-polling-stations-as-kamala-harris-and-donald-trump-face-off/news-story/434bb05e01b3a7aef1adc2e206fb66f5 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mzrnr7nj2o https://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/us-politics/bomb-threats-a-security-scare-at-the-capitol-and-fake-videos-from-russia-disrupt-us-election/news-story/b56c465444fe3366270ba1803d25c537
  14. Who is circulating rumours of an electoral fix for Harris? trump has claimed if he loses the election has been corrupted, but if we wins all OK. Does that not strike you as an attempted political fix. trump has already established his MO for multiple channels for attempts of lawfare. He lost all 60 attempts last time round. Some light reading for you... the Republican Party once again assented to Trump’s de facto leadership of the party. He easily secured the Republican nomination—and he may well secure a second term. Even if he loses, the fact that he has been able to come so close to the nation’s highest office, after previously mounting an insurrection to illegally hold onto it, is a reflection of the profound failure of American institutions to meet the moment. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-one-institution-that-checked-trump
  15. Then you are identifying yourself as an enemy of Western democratic policies / institutions; is that correct?
  16. I read the first 4 URLs. None of the actual violence was attributed to Clinton supporters, but fringe groups such as anarchists who could reasonable be defined as radical left. I suggest rioters would mainly be opportunistic criminally motivated for theft, anarchists etc, not motivated by Clinton's loss. If you have credible source information confirming actual Clinton voters rioted / were violent please post; repeat credible,
  17. trump's never been supported by the majority, actually missed out by millions of votes, only got in due to archaic electoral college. trump and enablers have been busy recognising the reality by trying to disenfranchise voters and setting up BS legal interference. God help the US if he manages to con his way into the Presidency this time round, 'cause trump certainly will not.
  18. What is wrong for Federal government to fund education beyond high school? There are differing models, but I would think that in fact it benefits the economy in the longer term, rather than access being dictated by partisan politics which seems to me very narrow minded. . Some examples... https://www.google.com/search?q=countrties+with+government+funded+universities&oq=countrties+with+government+funded+universities&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIJCAEQIRgKGKAB0gEKMjA1NzNqMWoxNagCCLACAQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  19. Personally I don't agree with publicly announcing going for trump on the matter prior to the election as it will agitate the MAGA people. But, it was an act of gross stupidity, there is zero cause to exposing Cheney to some lunatic motivated by trump's words. If there is a viable legal case act upon it after the election with anticipation he will lose.
  20. I suggest the issue is created by American employers who take on migrants / illegals at lower wages and benefits than US citizens.
  21. In addition to rumors about candidates, the Snopes newsroom is seeing a wave of rumors about voting without sufficient evidence to support them. In particular, groups are attempting to frame mundane election processes or isolated irregularities as evidence of widespread fraud — a disinformation effort that aims to sow chaos and confusion, and convince people that America's electoral system is weak. https://www.snopes.com/category/politics/

  23. The justices denied an emergency request by the Republican National Committee and Republican Party of Pennsylvania to put on hold the Oct. 23 Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling in favor of two Butler County voters who sought to have their provisional ballots counted after their mail-in ballots were rejected during that state's primary election for lacking secrecy envelopes. https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-wont-block-pennsylvania-provisional-ballots-decision-2024-11-01/

  24. The fact is there was an IT glitch with the process of registering voters. The initial request by Stephen Miller's organisation was declined to concerns regards harassment - perfectly valid. One hopes the names are not released into the public domain or to Miller's organisation, but to a non partisan group for review. BTW there has been a number of false MAGA claims in Arizona, all proven false and listed below: Just the Facts
  25. I had read the link, usual nonsense, as you should have known when I mentioned Tucker.
