Karoline Leavitt was no dummy. She was confident and articulate and a very good press secretary for the Trump administration if you only judge her performance on those terms. It’s a pity she was batting for the wrong side and mostly spreading fact free propaganda, but she did it well.

The latest Fox News poll shows that corruption is an even bigger concern for voters than the economy at 88% disapproval. That's pretty extraordinary, especially for Fox. Trump has replaced the Washington political swamp with the New York real estate swamp.

That's your intelligent opinion. Are we dealing with an intelligent electorate?

Don't be too sure of a Democrat landslide in the mid-terms. The idea of that happening is based partly in polling. Over the last three Presidential elections the polling has been way off compared to its accuracy before about 2008. There is a number of factors causing that. This video describes some of those factors. This video discusses the topic. The presentation is unbiased.

Yes. The person is a paraplegic, having been shot through the spine during the incident. Wouldn't look good shooting a cripple. Shades of the SS. Not the usual image of the condemned man backed up against a wall, being offered a last cigarette and a blindfold.

If you think that the things will change on 4th November if the Dems gain a majority in either House, you are wrong. The winners of local elections will not take up their seats until 3rd January 2027. Between November and February, each State has to confirm and certify the winners of each seat within it. This can takes weeks and you can be sure that both Parties will be calling for recounts in close seats. How close? How long is a piece of string in the case of teh Republicans. After each State has confirmed the results in its seats, a certificate is sent to the Clerk of the House. Then in January, all those who have been elected congregate in the House they have been elected to and the Clerk Clerk calls the roll, giving a seat to the person called. That's why that ruckus happened on the 6th January 2021. It could happen again. Here's a video that give a description of what Trump and his cohorts could do if the Republicans cop a beating.

The Dems don't seem to promote any meaningful platform. The most they are offering is 'Vote for us to make things like they used to be'. Are they forgetting that the Trump led Republican administration got elected because the public don't want the previous style of corruption and warmongering? Sure it isn't draining the swamp. But will a Dem win be enough to bring about a shift away from billionaire controlled government?

I think the Republicans realise they will lose the House, but Trump will do everything he can to hold onto the Senate. If the Democrats win the Senate as well, they will be in a much stronger position to make his life miserable. My concern is that the Democrats are so focused on campaigning against Trump that they haven't figured out what they're actually for and what they would do to turn the ship around, so nothing much will get done for the next two years.

Lead is Bad stuff. There is plenty of it in the roofs at Broken Hill. Most of the Lead that kills Americans comes from GUNS. The Problem with Russian Fuels is SULPHUR which with any water forms Sulphuric acid H2SO4. Water is a Product of burning Hydrocarbon fuels .2H +O2 =s 2H2O. Paraffinic (chain) Hydrocarbons are C n H 2n + 2. Nev

Donald the Dick Tator just checking his equipment. He had a damaging leak from his administration.

They're called Maggots.

I don't think he will cancel the elections because early voting has already started in some States so it's getting a bit late. However I think he will do everything he can to disrupt the outcome and contest the results, as well as delay seating candidates. Assuming Democrats take the House and/or Senate he will ignore their subpoenas and investigations, drag everything through the courts, and try to block any kind of legislation they come up with. . He likes fighting so the Democrats will give him a tangible target to attack and his Truth Social posts will go into overdrive. Needless to say, he won't care about how the population is faring in the meantime and he will still be bogged down in Iran. His health is also noticeably deteriorating. His right arm twitches, his fingers seem to lock up at times. his face is sagging, he's slurring his words more and more, he can't walk in a straight line without lurching one way or the other, and he falls asleep in meetings all the time. I don't think he's going to last another two years.
