Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

I don't think an American president should be implementing policy to suit any particular ancestry within their country be the Jewish,Irish,Arab,Italian etc .Same applies for every other country in the world.

If people don't like it then maybe they should return to their ancestral homelands.

I dislike the massive influence the pro-israel lobby has in America, it would be great if AIPAC were told to piss off forever.

Each country should be looking after their own interests not trying to suit people who have their feet in 2 camps.

Last time I checked Italian Americans and Irish Americans weren't complaining but if they were I'd tell them the same thing.

Ditto. From the Nov issue of the Atlantic interview with General John Kelly about the first president [George Washington] and his historic accomplishments, what a US president should be and what Washington's most important contribution to the nation he liberated was: he went home. One other thing Washington is famed for: I cannot tell a lie…

Kelly's opinion of Trump is completely the opposite, having served under Trump in two administration roles.

In 2019, when Trump was president, a New Monmouth poll 7 out of 10 people polled had Washington as the better BUT amongst GOP members the result was 44% Washington to 37% Trump. The GOP still refuses to tell of the difference between their current choice to be their president and the 1st President of their nation.

Now it seems to me that is part of the problem with how the US has in handling Trump, part of the GOP base membership still credit Trump with an ability that he plainly does not have, an ability to stick to any deal or agreement he has made, including those he made with them about leading the US itself into MAGA-ness [whatever that means to them individually].

When it comes to deals Trump made with the GOP leadership, they got into bed with him voluntarily and let him do what he does best there so they can all go take a hike.

Is Harris the first candidate to have the most "celeb endorsements" ever, I don't think Obama even had as much as her, even Avengers united for her

"There's no difference between this plain chicken sandwich and this rancid, maggot ridden ham sandwich"

I was just watching a video of fencing being put up round the White House and nearby shop windows being covered with plywood. The comments were mostly suggesting that this was somehow the fault of the Democrats and they could find the money to install riot proofing though there was no money for hurricane relief.

A few people were trying to point out that this had never been necessary before and had only become a possible necessity since the last election and the actions of Trump and his supporters. But no, it was all down to Joe and Kamala being dramatic and stirring up trouble.

"RFK Jr vows to remove fluoride from public water

In a post on X, Robert F Kennedy Jr has said that he will remove fluoride from all public water if Donald Trump is elected and gives him responsibility over the nation’s health agencies."

A part of me wants to see the ensuing chaos if this utter loon gets anywhere near a government position.

Wow Bill O'Reilly! Now there's a blast from the past.

Last I heard of him he was costing Fox News millions in lawsuits because of all the sexual harassing that he engaged in while working there.

I guess that explains why he's resorting to Youtube now.

"No-Spin News" - Good one!

Nate Silver came out today suggesting that the polls are very misleading and effectively that they are not representative of the reality.

He wasn't saying that anyone poll or poll company is gaming the system but basically he was saying that it's very unlikely that where there's a +/- 3% Margin of Error but yet so many polls are being very close like decimals of % difference that it is not what you should expect, ergo………

He accused them of "herding". He discussed it in his latest podcast episode.

He basically said that if a polling company never publish a weird outlier of a poll then that likely means that they are sanitising their results to conform to the rest of the polling out there. I believe the expression he used was "it shows that they don't have balls". He called out the New York Times as a pollster who do not seem to engage in this practice

Wow. The famous pollster Ann Seltzer of the Des Moines Register has Harris winning in Iowa…wtf

Maga currently thinking a squirrel will win them the election

"I genuinely believe that Biden would have won"

If the polls are to believed, empirical evidence to the contrary

He called out the New York Times as a pollster who do not seem to engage in this practice

Here's another one apparently

Don't suppose the DMR are big noises in the polling world though…
