O'Kelly Isley III Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Russia wasn't a hoax, it's just they didn't need anyone connected to Trump to do what they were doing, helping him get elected. I've recently read two good reviews of a new book by Catherine Belton about how Putin and his allies effectively annexed the chaotic and crumbling Russian state and now have total influence at home and massive international ambition. Both reviews made a point of quoting sources close to the Putin administration who claim that the Russian security services were shocked to discover the widespread political corruption across Western nations, with an obvious inference for the reader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetmonster Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 2 hours ago, Granny Danger said: The Republican Party were never nice people but it seems to have been emptied of anyone with a shred of common decency. I don’t follow US politics enough to know if this was a result of the Tea Party era or something else. The Republican establishment didn’t want Trump as their candidate, but since his election they have been cowardly and obsequious. I’d love for him to be investigated once he’s out of office but I’d put money on Biden blocking that. However if he is pursued once he’s kicked out I wonder how many Republicans will rally round him. None. He's a useful idiot who'll be jettisoned in much the same way as now there are apparently no people in America who ever voted for Nixon or GWB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it mental anyone can say with certainty who's going to win in November. Nearly as mental as anyone who can find themselves enthusiastic to support either candidate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea who that could be tho. The patter option is Hillary Clinton and you know she would do it. 47 minutes ago, BawWatchin said: Trump will win. America hates itself and everybody else.

BillyAnchor Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 “When you test, you have a case. When you test you find something is wrong with people. If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.” Similarly we can win that fight against tooth decay by banning dental visits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do away with morgues, burials and cremations. Then death won't be an issue anymore! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I think Biden might stick Kamala Harris on his ticket, she dropped out quite early and that might have been as a result of a wee nudge that she’d get the nod. Cant see Clinton taking a VP pick but stranger things have happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is they'll get Biden to drop out due to ill health and get Harris to step up from the VP position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris looked like an establishment favourite early on until she was destroyed by Tulsi Gabbard in one of the debates. It would be classic Democrat arrogance though to run with her anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
