Sick and tired

would be nice if you could have a mailing personalized to your liking

 

but here they don't even indicate that ads are mixed with the news... how hard could that be to differentiate from a real topic?  right ?

 

never understood why the 'headline' in the newsletter were once again repeated in the rest of the section either...

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.

   On the first two pages  12 of the threads are about Trump , that is quite a look of scrolling that needs to be done to get past all the Trump threads 

Has your mouse not got a scrolling wheel?

I just strolled past 10 hrs of 'new content', and posted on 4, I think, simply because I'm bored, while making & finished my first cup of coffee.  Took less than 1 hour, and that' while doing things.  

 

Take vitamins, dog had to go out, and all during my morning routine.  It's a quick read, while talking to daughter on FB.

   Yes., but I just scroll the first two pages and often miss threads way  back in the page list , due to the Trump threads clogging up the forum

Do you really only watch CNN. ABC  MSNBC and read the Washington Post?

Agreed, its very sad that some folks actually believe what CNN, MSNBC, Salon, the New Republic, Huffington Post, etc  publish!

I am getting sick and tired about all topics about the USA election. Every second topic on AN is about that. 

 

Only two weeks left for that.

And then two weeks + 1 day for the threads about Trump complaining the election was rigged.

So I have to suffer for another 4 weeks?

MTG and the Georgia nutters are already claiming fraud, in early voting.

Hate Trump hate Harries who cares? not every body lives in the US only 340 million out of 8 billion. Sorry about my American friends but I am getting pinched off. How many posts do we get about the coming Australian election ? None What about New Zealand or Italy India none, 

Who wins the American election effects not only America, but also the rest of the world.

Who wins the Australian or New Zealand election doesn't matter outside of those countries.

Simple as that!

That will be nothing compared to the meltdown from MAGA when/if Trump loses.

 

The Repubs are already preparing for all kinds of court challenges, although I don't know where they will get the money for the lawyers. Perhaps Musk or Putin will help out.

Alas, poor Lacessit seems to be infested with the woketard virus. Do yourself a favor my friend and be sure to lock up any sharp objects in your home on Nov. 5th, because if you are as delusional as you seem to be, then when you awaken on Nov. 6th you will be in for quite a surprise.  BTW it is the Democrats not the Republicans, who have assembled an army of 1000 lawyers to try and challenge the election results, and to try and put up roadblocks challenging Trumps new Executive orders and his cancellation of all of n Joe Bidens executive orders, this will be fun watching the Marxist Demonrats twist in the wind and wither away like the decrepit wicked witch of the west in the wizard of OZ.

Actually, you are delusional if you think anything Trump does as President affects an Australian retiree in Thailand.

 

Please learn how to use apostrophes, you are hurting my eyes.

For a poor Aussie retiree in Northern Thailand, you certainly seem to be quite vested in, and opinionated on the political goings on in a Country half way around the world that supposedly has no affect on your life. This is a clear sign of the virulent woketard virus that seems to be attacking far left wing loons all around the globe. Like I said, be sure to lock up any weapons or sharp objects before your retire on the evening of November 5th, because President Trump is poised for a landslide victory in the Electoral College, and Republicans will make gains in the House of Representatives and take back the Senate.  On the morning of November 6th I will bathe in liberal tears!

If Trump wins, I will only feel regret America has succumbed to the idiots in its society.

 

I don't know where you get the idea I am poor. I will die solvent, which is more than I can say for the impoverished Trump supporters who will be thrown under the bus as soon as Trump regains power.

 

What will you do if your optimistic prognostications fail, and your cult hero loses? March on the Capitol again?

 

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

But you are posting about the US election are you not?

You are free to start a topic about Australia, NZ, Italy or India.

 

As an American expat I would be glad to get rid of the busybodies from other countries holding forth about US politics.

We don't have controversies about abortion or the alphabet thing, and we are too far away from everywhere for rubber boats so nothing about illegal immigrants either. I guess we are just not chaotic enough to care about.

 

However, I'm pretty sure something really awful is coming along, though I can't post what it is on here.

Why do you post so much about the US election if you are Kiwi?

I am not counting your posts but you seem to be pretty active in the US election threads.
