Fwiw, Americans hate the “American style health care” with a smoldering, intense passion. We are ruled by ignorant clowns and rich bullies.
If only we could get to an NHS style healthcare.
First of all the docs are NOTHING. There's nothing of interest there.
So why the News Article about the Social Media?
Well, it's a horse race, innit
Seriously. "Where Have You Fucking Corporate Newspeople BEEN"
That media should report trump as a liar and unfit needs context?
Okay the context is: the last nine years.
Well only if you're still using Windows.
I mean . . . you're . . . . you're not still using Windows, right?
. . .
Right?
"Facts"?? HAHAhahahahahaha
Hey! Welcome to 1950, Dick Cavett! Seriously though, facts Do Not Matter, as has been proven in high relief for just about a decade now.
I have been inspired not to make a mockery of that action by doing something idiotic and posting it to Instagram pretending it's serious.
I'll have you know I've been featured in several NextDoor posts!
It's qualitatively different from Watching For Shoplifters.
You mean the American Public that burned the Beatles records because John said they were "bigger than Jesus"? The American Public that treated German POWs better than black Army servicemen? That American Public?
What's the source of that cartoon? I'm interested to know if it was in fact from Birmingham.
Russian election interference. It's so easy and cheap!
Sounds like Australia the-one-without-kangaroos isn't at the stage where they start talking openly about that yet though, that's sad. Hopefully they'll find their Maria Butina soon.
AND HERE THEY COME INTO THE BACK CORNER IT'S TRUMP IN THE LEAD WITH HARRIS SURGING UP THE INSIDE!!
Look pal, the general said “sow division” amongst whatever socio-political lines we can see, ok? Why Do You Hate Black Vegan Catholics???

This time we’ll get it in the end!
>Former President Donald J. Trump began his news conference on Thursday in the lobby of Trump Tower, standing in front of seven American flags. He laid a bound folder down on a lectern and declared that he was going to focus on the southern border, where his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, is headed on Friday. > >That lasted about 10 minutes. > >Mr. Trump quickly appeared to grow bored with the remarks he read from, and drifted repeatedly toward other topics. > >. . . At the beginning of the news conference, Mr. Trump struggled at times to articulate his thoughts or make a point clearly. He stumbled over some words as he read from remarks he had plainly not written. He bootstrapped one thought onto another based on whether the words associated with something else, as opposed to having a clear through line. > >After he accused Ms. Harris of ruining San Francisco while she was the district attorney, a recent favorite line of attack, Mr. Trump followed it up with tangents that related loosely to the city of San Francisco as opposed to the reason he was at the lectern. > >. . . Then he dodged several questions about whether Ukraine should cede its land to Russia in order to end the bloody incursion that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia first began in 2022. Ms. Harris earlier in the day made a jab at Mr. Trump, arguing that people who would propose Ukraine cede some of its territory to Russia were asking the country to surrender. > >“It would have been a lot easier to work out prior to the start,” said Mr. Trump, who has praised Mr. Putin over the years and described the invasion as “smart” when it first occurred. > >He answered a question about whether he would rescind his endorsement of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson of North Carolina, who’s running for governor and who has been linked in a CNN report to making homophobic, racist and antisemitic statements on a pornographic website before he was a candidate. Mr. Trump responded, “I don’t know the situation.” > >As he left the lobby, he stopped when someone asked if Ukraine should give up territory. > >“We’ll see what happens,” Mr. Trump said.

>Late in the summer of 2003, a team of television producers stepped off the elevator on the 26th floor of Trump Tower eager to survey the set of their next reality show. After years filming “Survivor” in jungles around the world, training cameras on exotic spiders and deadly snakes to evoke danger, they came looking for a different set of sensory clues, the tiny details that would convey wealth and power. > >Right away, they knew they had a problem. > >The first thing they noticed was the stench, a musty carpet odor that followed them like an invisible cloud. Then they spotted scores of chips in the finish of the wooden desks and credenzas. The décor felt long out of date, making the space seem like a time capsule from when Donald J. Trump opened the building early in his first rise to fame. > >The place did not exactly buzz with energy either. Fewer than 50 people worked at Trump Organization headquarters in midtown Manhattan. At the office’s spiritual center, Mr. Trump’s own desk bore no evidence of work, no computer screens or piles of contracts and blueprints, just a blanket of news articles focused on one subject: himself. > >“When you go into the office and you’re hearing ‘billionaire,’ even ‘recovering billionaire,’ you don’t expect to see chipped furniture, you don’t expect to smell carpet that needs to be refreshed in the worst, worst way,” recalled Bill Pruitt, one of the producers of the new NBC show. > >That program, “The Apprentice,” would at its essence be a game show, with a job in this office as the ultimate prize. But that prize, in a literal sense, stank. Making viewers believe the central conceit — that Ivy League grads would eagerly connive and humiliate themselves for a chance to learn at the side of this icon of success — would test the bounds of reality television magic. > >“The whole thing was absurd to all of us,” remembered another producer, Alan Blum.

The third and final presidential debate is over. Who came out on top in Las Vegas?
> This may have been the debate Donald Trump wanted, but it wasn't the one he needed. > > With one last chance to make a pitch to the American public that he should be trusted with the presidency, the Republican nominee had to make efforts to expand his base of support. > > He had to find a way to distance himself from the allegation that he has a history of sexual harassment. > > He had to position himself as the change candidate - just days after a Fox poll showed that Hillary Clinton, whose party has held the presidency for eight years, was beating him on the question of who would "change the country for the better". > > Instead, after roughly half an hour of something resembling an actual policy debate about the Supreme Court, gun rights, abortion and even immigration, the old Donald Trump - the one who constantly interrupted his opponent, sparred with the moderator and lashed out at enemies real and perceived - emerged. > > He called Mrs Clinton a liar and a "nasty woman". > > He said the women accusing him of sexual harassment bordering on assault were either attention-seekers or Clinton campaign stooges. > > He said the media were "poisoning the minds" of the public. And, most notably, he refused to say whether he would accept the results of the election if he loses. > > Mrs Clinton had her own moments where she was put on the defensive - on her emails, on the Clinton Foundation and on embarrassing details revealed in the Wikileaks hack. > > The difference, however, is that Mrs Clinton largely kept her poise and successfully changed the topic back to subjects where she was more comfortable. It was, in fact, a master class in parry-and-strike debate strategy. > > The key takeaway from this debate, however - the headline that Americans will wake up to read in the morning - will certainly be Mr Trump's refusal to back way from his "rigged" election claims. > > That was what Mr Trump wanted to say, but it isn't something the American people - or American democracy - needed to hear.
Just thought everyone should get a whiff of the post-debate 2016 flava to temper the feeling that anything at all is "in the bag". Also - it's amazing, isn't it.

Election officials across the U.S. are warning that problems with the nation’s mail delivery system threaten to disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election.
>State and local election officials from across the country on Wednesday warned that problems with the nation’s mail delivery system threaten to disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election, telling the head of the U.S. Postal Service that it hasn’t fixed persistent deficiencies. > >In an alarming letter, the officials said that over the past year, including the just-concluded primary season, mailed ballots that were postmarked on time were received by local election offices days after the deadline to be counted. They also noted that properly addressed election mail was being returned to them as undeliverable, a problem that could automatically send voters to inactive status through no fault of their own, potentially creating chaos when those voters show up to cast a ballot.
