Biden got one thing right ...

[Mrs Ten Names]

fekme you certainly have not got a clue . Very scary that if you lived i america you would have the right to vote .

Living in a country does not endow the right to vote.

.... Very scary that ... you would have the right to vote .

Not as pathetic as your misspelling of Doubtfire.

One doesn't misspell one's own name. One has options of how to spell one's own name, even like running two names together without spaces.

But your childish pejorative misspelling of a highly educated, intelligent, successful, 2nd generation immigrant female, demonstrates your immaturity.

He rightly recognises pootin for what he is, and supports ukrane accordingly.

He probably thinks Ukraine is Russia.
The bloke is a liability.
The American political system isn't fit for purpose.
Democracy is supposed to give people choice, a system where the only choice is between a convicted felon and a geriatric who is obviously in cognitive decline, shows that something is very wrong.

All these democratic systems around the globe based on the Mother of all democratic systems.
You gotta laugh.

He probably thinks Ukraine is Russia.

He's been arming russsia then. And he doesn't buy the argument that pootin is sending missiles to children's hospitals because the west provoked him

The bloke is a liability.

His political decisions in the middle east and europe are classic american foreign policy

The American political system isn't fit for purpose.

The American media isn't fit for purpose

How many of our last few PM's have been elected?

Unlike the don who stayed in bed eating maccy d’s. Biden has made all the right calls on the middle east and ukrane.

Somebody is making decisions for sure, however not necessarily Biden ...

a convicted felon and a geriatric who is obviously in cognitive decline

The convicted felony barely has the cognition to start with, let alone to go into decline.

Trump's great advantage however is that, when he loses his train of thought, he just lies without blinking, fear, or shame.

He got something else right last night...

In a primetime address from the Oval Office, Biden said Americans must strive for “national unity,” warning that the political rhetoric in the US had gotten “too heated” as passions rise in the final months before the November presidential election...[he] forcefully condemned political violence and appealed to a nation still reeling from the attempted assassination of Donald Trump to reject “extremism and fury”.

Writing for the Guardian, 15 years ago, the cult expert Rick Ross warned us to “watch out for the tell-tale signs” of a cult, including “no tolerance for questions or critical inquiry”, “there is no legitimate reason to leave”, “former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil”, and “the group/leader is always right”.

Have Democrats drunk the kool-ayd?

The party that mocked Republicans for slamming Trump in private while backing him in public is now doing the same with its own leader. At the time of writing, only about 20 congressional Democrats have called for Biden to step aside and yet reporting from the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and more, suggest dozens more are saying the same behind closed doors. Most elected Democrats believe Biden will struggle to win against Trump in November, noted Politico’s Rachael Bade last week, “even if they don’t say it on record”.

And what’s one of the main reasons why they won’t say it on the record? Because they’re afraid. "I wish I was more brave,” NBC News quoted one anonymous Democratic state party chair as saying. “I would be crucified by them if I spoke out of line.” This person spoke on the condition of anonymity, according to NBC, “because they fear retaliation from the president’s camp”.

When Biden pretends the polls are all wrong; attacks members of the press at a campaign rally; and calls into a morning show to mock the “elites”… who does he sound like? When members of the Biden campaign decide to accuse their critics of “bed-wetting”, deride a group of “self-important” liberal podcasters, and pick a fight with a Hollywood star … which campaign do they sound like?

Trump it seems has rewritten his speech for the convention and now reckons he will reunite the US and tone the rhetoric down. It seems there has been more political strife in the US of late but not to the extent of Trump's shooting. That's a new twist. Much the same here really but not so extreme - eg slashing campaigners tyres. We have had a couple of MP stabbings though so???? Also my local MP had a stone thrown at him, it hit, bruising on his face. Later police needed at one of his surgeries and not related to the stone.

Polls - Gallup asks more interesting questions but more up to date ones needed. Things can change rapidly in the US but like most countries swing areas count. UK a little different sort of well we have tried voting Tory once - not again thanks.
