    Trump's odds of winning continue to shorten, pretty much no value of betting 100notes just to get a reduced 157 to 161 return.

    Thanks Democrats for cutting my profits even further (was worth around 191 weeks ago), before the silly impeachment play, and childish paper tearing up.

    Anyway, drink it up and expect more way hugely gains for 2020.

    Trump now at the shortest odds he's ever been for POTUS20.

    Have seen price as low as 1.5, plenty at 1.61 and averaging around 1.64.
    e.g. Hand the bookie 100notes now and collect just 150 at the end of the year.

    Thank the 'wan that was ripping stuff up for this new latest level of market confidence.

    Sure he'll likely win by a hugely amount, and there will be more people crying and what have you, ah well.

    From one of the articles linked:
    "McDonald said Trump’s views on women, immigrants ...

    That's all you need to read right there. Those comments from her that were quoted above were made in response to horsesh*te that was being written at the time about Trump, such as reports saying he had generally referred to immigrants as animals (when the truth was that he had been referring to MS-13). So of course she was going to say he was "wrong, wrong, wrong.." in response to loaded questions which misrepresented him on such hot button issues. They'd love nothing more for her to not condemn him over those remarks as then they could run a "Mary Lou refuses to condemn Trump on his misogyny". That's how the leftist media operates. Sanctimony ever at the ready.

    The Israel-Palestine issue they would of course bump heads on but there are lots of issues that they would agree upon too. Trump is an economic nationalist for example and as too was Arthur Griffith. Something to chat about over tea and biscuits if nothing else.

    Anyway, back to US impeachment ...

    Ok Paddy Boggle, no need to get upset.

    But it does looks like he's getting even more popular with each and evey passing day, by Spring the Dems may just resign themselves to an early loss, and plan for 2024 instead.

    Cringe.

    Is not a surprise he has the lowest approval rating of all GOP senators.

    Universally hated.

    Pelosi has become a Donald Trump clone now. She stooped to his level. Nobody should ever do that, you must remain above it all so that his actions look reprehensible. When you do what he does then he doesn't look so bad.
    I wish I was a rich man, is it too late for Martin Heinrich to enter the race?

    Unless she starts raw dogging porn stars, sexually assaulting people or trying to blackmail Ukraine into cheating an election, I don't think she will get near his level TBF.

    You should learn to read first before you reply. He is a vain and vindictive man, we will see evidence of that today when he attacks Romney.

    So, if he gets a second term, he will not have to worry about re-election and so will go all out to destroy his enemies, those that have crossed him and those sections of soiciety he has contempt for without any accountability from the senate (if the republicans hold it).

    But in any case if the Democrats run a half decent campaign they will defeat him because any person with a conscious and half a brain will see him for what he is

    Course he will. Just like he nuked N. Korea :rolleyes:

    He'll stroll the 2020 election. I'd say thats killing you :D

    Two years ago: "TRUMP IS INSANE! HE'S GOING TO GO TO WAR WITH NK!"

    Remember the media in love with the high up woman NK sent to the winter olympics and was photo-ed giving daggers to Pence?

    Then when Trump meets up with Kim, "OMG! HE'S TALKING TO A DICTATOR!!"

    The past few years have been exhausting for some people.

    Yes, huge profits on both, more so the Donald.

    Don opened 100/1, went to 25/1 (there was a big thread here on it, very funny). On election night as votes were being counted, the bookies lost the plot and offered 10/1 for him briefly.

    Brexit to be fair was an AvB scenario, typically averaged 3.6, which is still good value (put down 100 get back total of 360).

    This year there is no profit to be made, when you get close to 1.5, the risk v reward offer isn't as appealing. Only potential value might be Warren for DN, as the rest of them are pure pants.

    Wonder where they got that idea?
    North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States - They will be met with fire and the fury like the world has never seen.

    Meanwhile North Korea are still testing missiles and threatening the United States.

    What was it they said?
    Dotage of a Dotard

    :pac:

    That war was immiment? Well a combination of media hysterics and people having believed everything shovelled in the 2016 campaign.

    Oh no, he didn't solve it 100% Dang. Is the situation better or worse? Were the War predictions so totally wrong, as to be hilariously bad up there with the best of them?

    Serious q, if you subscribed to the "OMG this is gonna be war" soon attitude to NK and then decried him for talking to NK... isn't your world view totally messed up? If you've been consistently wrong about pretty much every prediction you had about what the man would do in his presidency... should't you start to reconsider where it is you get your info? Or that you're thinking has been programmed to some degree in the wrong direction?

    He was completely suckered by Kim. So much for being great at making deals.

    What credible source said war with North Korea was imminent?

    If the POTUS is saying he is going to Nuke a country, that is news worthy right?

    The situation is neither worse nor better. The supposedly best deal maker in the history of man kind got played and was used as a puppet to legitimise NK as a nation.

    It's exactly as it was when Trump got elected, except Kim made Trump look like a complete mug.

    It is showing up the nonsense fantasist wet dreams that you and people like you come up with about Donnie in your heads. Last election he was gonna start WW3. This time he "will go all out to destroy his enemies, those that have crossed him and those sections of soiciety he has contempt for without any accountability from the senate (if the republicans hold it)." according to you. :D:D

    Also, it's a message board, I'll engage where I like :D:D

    Not possible that is a contradiction. Sinn Fein policies would be a complete anathema to Trump.
    You do realise the word "Republican" in American politics does not have the same meaning as the Irish context

    - Republican Senator Mitt Romney
    LOL. Romney, despised by Democrats a few short years ago, is now their darling? :rolleyes:

    Well, Romney is wrong on the law, he hates Trump and hates that Trump nixed his bid to become Secretary of State. He has said Trump is a cad, phony, fraud, and low-life. My, what losing a presidential election seems to do to all the wannabe presidential losers.

    Romney’s explanation for his vote doesn’t square. He claims he voted his conscience, but because he believes there should be no investigation into Joe Biden’s abuse of power with his quid pro quo, of which he admitted to on TV, how can he vote to remove Trump from office for doing his job and having legitimate concerns of Biden’s corruption? Seems to me Trump acted on his conscience, also.

    I think hatred trumped Romney’s conscience.

    He should have followed the wishes of the people of Utah he claims to represents or not voted at all. Utah’s Desert News recently polled residents on impeachment and found 39% percent at least somewhat in favor of removal, and 53% at least somewhat opposed. With around 30% of Utah voters are democrats the 39% is expected, but the 53% represents the majority will of the people of Utah.

    Romney appears to be on the road to being a one term Utah Senator.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    She doesn't have to do anything else, She only needed to do one stupid, disrespectful thing that's similar to what he'd do and she is considered just like him by the public.

    So tell me who are you talking about, Trumps horséshít speech or Nancy tearing up some paper?

    It isn't the first time she made Trump the footnote in the Presidents State of the Union speech.

    It's an absolute genius move. AGAIN.

    Or maybe just maybe he saw what the majority of Americans and what the majority of the world saw and was brave enough to stand up and vote with his head and heart rather than his political livelihood.

    It is obvious from comments made by certain other senators that they knew what he did was impeachable but they didnt have to courage to vote that way.

    When you say he should have followed the wishes of the voters in Utah, perhaps then the Senate should have followed the wishes of the American public and vote the impeach

    I do enjoy a good soap opera.

    But back to the point, Romney did say some unfavorable stuff (all true) about Trump but it pales in comparison to what Lindsay said, which was all true too.

    Any comment on that?

    Or back to Bad Orange Man Beat me Harder cheer leading?
