    Beto o rourke?
    He was never seriously in the running.

    Pete Buttigieg did surprisingly well I think he is only 38, intelligent and a war vet but I am not sure middle America will vote for a gay president just yet even though he is a christian.

    I just used Beto as a metaphor for the Dems not deciding on anyone under 40-50. Never heard of Pete Buittgieg so there you go. Honestly.

    In times past if you were older no one cared, now it seems if you are younger and well educated no on in the Dems care either.

    I often wonder about their strategy TBH.

    Biden needs a massive lead in the polls to have any chance and he hasn't. Desperately bad pick from the Democrats which they will severally regret.

    The world is much more right leaning then it wants to admit. It plays right into Trumps hands.

    How come "Martial law will be declared before his term is over" isn't an option?

    He’s trying to remove thousands of pharmaceutical jobs.

    Obama had the same idea, lets not forget that.

    You can trade services, if you are lucky enough to be able to do a skill or trade required within your own community. If you are not, better start learning one.

    No, its not, America is based on watching and consuming TV and all the corporate **** that goes with it, that's why the majority of their sports games have more advertising on the game than the actual game. You are in for a rough time if you think Joe is going to win.

    No, I hated Clinton but in a two horse race wanted her to win, hate Biden and want him to win....Trump has made the lives on many minorities intolerable, he's emboldened some of the most disgusting creatures on the far-right....Bring back the Guillotine!

    If the Democrats thought they had a chance they would have condemned and ended the riots months ago.

    They are trying to backtrack rapidly now but the damage is done. Backing violent thugs over the police is always a bad look to middle America which is voting America.

    We'll see another for years of Trump continuing to Make America Great.

    Yeah in fairness he did make America great, Covid has scuppered that but I'd put money on him to sort it out. He had the country flying. Biden will be a disaster.

    Let us see what happens. But in fairness the Dems fkd up here big time.

    When you think of all the advisers and strategists they pay so many dollars to, you would wonder what the F is going on.

    I really dunno, maybe they are depending on the VP elect. But who could name her without looking it up lol. That is a thing for me. But hey I don't live there so she may be more noted over there. Then again, who really cares about the VP anyway?

    It is the Rep Trump, v the Dem Biden. End of story.

    Tell that to the Yemenis being slaughtered by US financed Saudi artillery, tell that to the people of Gaza being bombed by the IDF with the full support of Trump.

    How will these companies operate, if there's a catastrophic crash, baring in mind what occured in 08!

    From the ground. That's how most of it is actually done. I produce most my seasonal veg from out my back yard that aint half the size of a tennis court. Anybody can do this. Anything else i need I can get it from my community. For trade or something else.

    Just have to adapt and do the same. Adaptation is the key to a crisis. What else are you going to do? Throw yourself in the river just because some country 4000 miles away is going to Hell?

    The Democrats are clutching at straws that a magic postal vote will come out for them. It seems likely that the Northern states results will be contested after November 4th with confirmation of the Trump victory dragged out as long as, it has gotten to that level of vindictiveness from the Democrats and RINOs. In most US elections it is normally a case that the side that loses accepts the result and comes back at the next term with a better plan, this time they learned nothing and combined with the amplification of social media and mainstream media chasing advertising clicks have created a situation where neither side will accept a loss.

    It is unlikely that the postal vote will work in Mr. Bidens favour as the older people who use the post office are pretty much set in their ways so the margins are not going to shift, the younger vote (under 30) that he needs to swing it does not use the postal system, so he needs them to turn out in person at the polling station.

    Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

    Not at all, she is priming herself to be President in the future I think.

    Doesn't matter if my view is rubbish, but just look at Jared Kushner.

    He wants American companies back in their own country, my point is that's not something Trump alone is in favour of.

    But the police would be restrained surely..
    It was what struck me watching that video..these sort of forces don't just go away once they are unleashed..It gives rise to an opposition..It just escalates..

    Where do you live? From the sounds of it its nowhere in Ireland, you are talking hyperwollix netflix fantasy ****. Nobody will be "killing anybody for food" in Ireland gasun, we didn't do that the last time we were made starve.

    Nah I'm not buying this Hunger Games scenario you are thinking might happen.

    Law and order, the phrase the man himself often tweets would win out every time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 552 ✭✭✭Gerry Hatrick


    Iv'e been saying for weeks now Biden needs to get out there and answer questions, do interviews etc.. You know put himself forward and let people know who he is.

    Take yesterday at his Pittsburgh speech as an example. Plenty of reporters present and he refuses to take any questions at all. This is going to kill him come election day.

    Trump ftw now it seems.

    Has anyone seen any polls yet? the higher for the opponent means a shoo in for the current candidate anyway. As we have seen.
