not going to happen.
Trump now has the same weakness Biden had in terms of being a very old man. They aren't going to go anywhere near something that can be framed in terms of physical decline.
You’re missing my point: it wouldn’t be age-related deafness preventing him from answering difficult questions; it would be murderous domestic terrorist-related deafness… I've not got much hope, but his classless response to Biden might not play as well as he'd like beyond his core voter base. I don't think anyone expects these people to be best mates, but having a bit of common courtesy is generally regarded as important. Certainly here. I assume it is the case in the USA as well. Anyone who thought recent events would change the man for the better has been shown very quickly how naive that thought was.

Voting for Brexit is fine. It's allowed. Many people did. Including you. And you know it. But you can't admit it. I get it. I'm perfectly chilled though thanks for asking. Sadly the rain has just drawn me out of the garden and back into my awning in the beautiful West Lakes, under the backdrop of Black Combe, looking out to the Duddon Estuary and the Irish Sea (hence the delay in responding). It's beautiful, even when raining. And it's a beautiful country we now live in, having shaken the yolk of self-inflicted pyromania a few weeks back. Starmer seems to be meeting the people at the top tables at an equal level rather than being looked down at and laughed at behind his back, and we seem to be back to sensible politics on the whole. Most importantly he's really pissing people like you off. You can try to pretend otherwise, but it oozes from every single post you type. That was a very important part of Labour sweeping the Tories out for me. Right wing loons self-degrading themselves trying to lie, and displaying in plain view their own hypocrisy. It's fantastic. Have you found this secret Whats-app group Nik's not on yet? What's it about out of interest, County or Politics? There are some posters on here have what could best be described as extremist views to say the least. Bigmartin, what year did they allow you to join the extremist Communist Party of Great Britain Same year you voted Brexit.

Keeping Trump out would be straight forward enough if the alternative is somebody who people are motivated to get out and vote for. Hillary Clinton invoked the same feelings of revulsion and disgust that Trumpt did for many, Kamala Harris has the same kind of vibe and energy that Hillary had. And frankly the same kind of "oh for f*cks sake" track record. If she gets the nomination, she loses and they get Trump. Given that Harris used to be a prosecutor, how great would it be to see her debate a convicted felon? I don't see Trump agreeing to another debate, though. There's one already agreed to and arranged. 10th September. No? Be interesting if Trump did pull out. "Running from a fight" I imagine would be the spin.

But he appears already to be trying to weasel out of it or to at least trying to change the broadcaster. Along some mad claim that the Republican Party should somehow be reimbursed for what they've already spent attacking Biden.

Off-balanced them maybe. Interesting.

Why are the likes of Truss and Farage shilling for Trump considering that a Trump re-election to the White House is likely to financially and militarily impact the UK negatively?
It doesn't trouble me. In fact it's quite hilarious that they both seem to have been snubbed by him. But I am intrigued what THEIR play is here. What do they hope to gain?

Places on the lucrative right-wing lecture circuit in the US is what they’re after.

For Farage it's because Trump has the same opinions to him on race. For Truss, she's looking for a new career since July 4th and has spotted a gap in the market since Katie Hopkins' legal troubles.

Same year you voted Brexit. That old chestnut. Socialism is not communism. FFS. In Martins case it's clearly is the case. He is a fully paid up member of the Communist Party of Great Britain and he knows it.

Aye, but anyone professing to be a communist, are they members of The CPB or CPB-ML?
