    I see in a last ditch show of spite Trumps administration is going to now try and push through the sale of oil rights in the Artic reserve to his oil barron buddies.

    In a time of climate and biodiversity crisis he sees this as a priority.

    Looks like the Medina vaccine is streets ahead of the pzfier one, guess what program funded it...

    Well done?

    The more vaccines that reach the production stage the better. Yes this one looks like it's better than the earlier one in many ways but is the health of the world something to be used in a pissing fight?

    I would love to see the controls on the clinical trials and the participants results.
    One wonders whether the results are post some participants being excluded with unfavourable results.
    Not in the Irish trials I know :-)

    Will we all have a vaccine by next summer?
    I'm sure Key workers, the vulnerable and Trump supporters are first in line. I wonder if healthy Irish will be back of the queue to get one of these vaccines?

    Trump is facing big setbacks on his campaign to discredit the Presidential Election.
    Will this finally end his actions?

    In all seriousness.

    What’s the story with trump pushing through all the federal executions ?

    Biden has said he will stop them completely.

    Is Trump just executing people now just to wind Biden up ??

    You should read the rap sheets for the inmates that are been executed, the next one due up was a father who murdered his two year old daughter by repeatedly smashing her head of the steering wheel of his truck, isn't the death penalty applicable in the above

    There was a time I supported the death penalty.
    But now I feel that’s too easy way out for these folk.

    Gladly not many countries use the death penalty nowadays. One reason is innocent people will also be put to death from time to time.

    Poor trump recorded encouraging election officials to “find” votes that would give him the election.

    Sounding more crooked and desperate as time goes on.

    Unlikely they will win the two of them. Bookies have GOP on about a 70% chance of holding onto control of the Senate. While DT is doing the candidates no favours it very hard d to overcome two incumbents.

    It seems that there is limited polling and after the inaccuracy of US polls in the November elections there is a certain amount of scepticism of the polls. As well polls are often carried out with a certain amount of bias depending on the results required. While both sides have. Spend a substantial amount of money the Democrats have outspend the Republicans. Yes the two Democrat. Candidates have pulled ahead in the polls over last few days however you are still in the margin of error of 2% and the Democrats needs to win the two seats. I hope they do but it would be unusual to unseat two incumbents in a traditionally GOP state. Gap in presidential race was less than 12k votes across complete state. You would need a fairly equal split of all votes across both election areas.

    Having said all that Stacy Abrams has carried out a massive amount of voter registration over the last two years. In the preceeding 4 years when Kemp was Secretary of state of Georgia he deregistered about 700k voter's. If the Democrats. Win the two Senate seats it will be thanks to her. Win or lose it will be an example for activists in other state where there is substantial amount of people who are not registered mostly Black and Hispanic, states like Texas and Florida may come more into play

    The full video was released today, the above video was edited from a hour long phone call, the finding votes mentioned by Trump pertained to votes cast for Biden by voters that had left the state of Georgia and relocated with evidence to back this up on the change of address database

    Trump isn’t the GOP party, the establishment elite in the GOP hated him, the democrats in full power will be a sight to behold the Us economy will self implode over the next 2 years as Biden taxes corporations out of America while allowing in tariff free trade from China from the same corporations that will move production their, the stock market will go into freefall their if the democrats do win the senate over the next few days

    Biden wants to double the corporation tax rate when he gets in and enforce a 15 dollar minimum wage, look at the state of New York City at the minute and the state of California both democratic super majority states they are in disarray....
    It’s not all bad news you could see massive investment on top of what’s already happening by American corporations into Ireland on the back of it

    They were still investing here even when Trump was saying otherwise. They just didn’t promote it like you would see on RTÉ news

    Republicans weren’t one bit worried about the national debt for the past 4 years but that tube will change in 14 days time!

    As for the economy, 2019 figures (latest available figures I could find) GDP growth for CA (2.6%) and NY (2.4%) were ahead of the national average (2.1%)

    But with Covid both will be be hit hard due to large urban populations and being the two centers on the entertainment and tourism industries which has been decimated worldwide

    Nebraska naturaly isn’t going to be hit as hard but wasn’t flying it to start with.
    Growing corn isn’t really affected by a pandemic
