2024 USA Election: Wishin' and Hopin'

[Stavros]

Any thoughts on Tim Walz? He comes across as a coherent no nonsense speaker. I know next to nothing about Minnesota and his record there.

Here (scroll down for the video) is some idiot talking about how RFK is going to get 'the data' on vaccinations and presumably overhaul the system, if Trump wins and Kennedy is given some health job he is clearly not qualified for; and in the second link the facts which make the proposal to hire Kennedy even more alarming. One wonders who will have the most reckless, dangerous-to-life vaccination policy -the US, or the Taliban?

Completely agree that's exactly what Minnesota Governor Tim Walz comes across as. And he's down to earth and keeps it real. And was the right the choose to be Vice President Kamala Harris running mate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Walz

For the first time in history and/or since they started doing it, the following three newspapers will not endorse any Presidential candidate:

The Los Angeles Times
The Washington Post
USA Today

Exactly how it should be!
Media is supposed to be non-partisan and a watch dog of the government REGARDLESS of political party!

Exactly how it should be!
Media is supposed to be non-partisan and a watch dog of the government REGARDLESS of political party!

But not how it is -Murdoch persuaded Reagan to end the Fair Broadcasting Doctrine in 1987 precisely so that his media outlets could abandon objective and balanced reporting to be Partisan and as Biased as Murdoch wanted, just as he did with his newspapers in the UK (The Sun, News of the World in particular). Newspapers are privately owned and it is up to the owners if they show a bias, so there is no point in expecting them to be non-partisan unless the owners want it that way.

The US media in general has enabled Trump at every level. He was known for decades as a liar and a scam merchant, yet even when he has been convicted of crimes with more to come, he gets a free pass -do you think any Democrat nominee would survive the onslaught of bad press if they were a convicted criminal?

Most intriguing of all, even the Democrats have not pushed the Epstein enigma, how close Trump was to Epstein, how much he knew about Epstein's illegal behaviour -Trump tends to clam shut when the name Epstein is mentioned. As for all the verifiable lies, again reporters let him get away with the most outrageous nonsense -he cannot bring himself to admit the Springfield story is rubbish because he is never wrong, but all he had to do was call the Mayor on the phone, he is, after all, a Republican, but he can't do that because he never says sorry, never admits to being wrong.

Russia Russia Russia - the Mueller report identified hundreds of incidences when the Trump campaign was in touch with the Russians in 2015-2016, had that been Clinton she would have been shredded in the media but she was the one who was subjected to legal scrutiny by the FBI.

Now Trump is suing CBS for $10 billion -! why not $20 bn?- because the man who complains he is the victim of the weaponization of the law is addicted to litigation. It is his way of at the very least draining other people of their money, so he doesn't even care if he loses, as long as the other side have had to sell everything to defend themselves against Trump's made up lies. Will then media report this for what it is, or treat it as a legitimate legal argument?

What a mess you are in.

Down and down he goes. Not content with suggesting Liz Cheney be a target with "nine barrels shooting at her", and certainly aware of the outrage -and potentially legal action- his comments have provoked, he of course added to the first set of comments by claiming "she kills people" who "wanted to go to war with everybody". (Note: when he was Trump's National Security Advisor he wanted Trump to bomb Iran, is he a disgrace too?).

Just as disturbing is the argument in today's Guardian

"Republicans are already laying the ground for rejecting the result of next week’s US presidential election in the event Donald Trump loses, with early lawsuits baselessly alleging fraud and polls from right-leaning groups that analysts say may be exaggerating his popularity and could be used by Trump to claim only cheating prevented him from returning to the White House."

There is something really wrong with the Orange Convicted Felon Donald Trump,and his despicable and disgusting comments shows how unhinged and unstable he really is. Not surprised at all that his enablers are laying the groundwork for The Big Lie 2.0

He's really stupid. All those years in the military and he's a simp bitch trying load and fire a hunting rifle. He should load it and fire it with almost perfection.
