    The right wing media went away from covering it after fairly short order too I noticed. Are they biased too?

    Add to all that, since then, Trump kept on making massive own goals which took the limelight away from his earlier press. For instance at a black reporters conference. "Kamala only recently decided to become black" in front of that crowd! What an IDIOT. As usual, trump was the author of his own misfortune. Then he picked a guy for vp that went on to say stupid things about woman and the role he sees they should be filling. For the last month every time trump has had a microphone in his hand he starts smashing it into his nuts. Don't get me wrong, I never get sick of that - give that man a bigger microphone I say!

    That is one hell of a bold prediction. I'm looking forward to Kamala the prosecutor putting big mouth under the kosh! A former prosecutor against a criminal convicted unanimously by a jury of 12. You may want to keep in mind how much you passionately defended the US legal system in past debates before you reply.
    Are you sure he is debate ready at all? Becuase of late I noticed trumps energy levels have dropped in the last few years if you look at some of his earlier videos, now he is down to this - Michigan yesterday.


    You better get on the next plane to the USA post haste, looks like the guy could do with a hug.

    I get your point - but you must admit that we grant more leeway to people we believe are working with our best interests at heart. The latter part is absolutely up for debate.
    If course you are right, no politician measures up to that standard, being seen to always do ones best is good enough. Trump however never got close to that standard Trump for trump etc.

    The USA does not have complete control over gas prices, the inflation is low compared to other countries who are still dealing with covid fallout/wayward covid policies. Trump started a war within his own country imo. Not many bodies - yet.

    The Right Wing media is preaching to the choir though - their audience is presumably already on the Trump train. The point was to draw the comparison between how we both know that the Left would react if the roles were reversed and the sort of wall-to-wall coverage that would be occurring

    Not necessarily - I have heard commentary from African Americans that they really don't like it when people who aren't fully black, playing the black card.

    Now - Caveat - I don't like playing racial politics, it is not something I advance - I am only pointing out that there is a proportion of the African American community who feels like Kamala is pretending to be 'black' when it suits her agenda - and they don't like it.

    I have seen other commentary on JD Vance - one political news outlet I follow picked him as the VP, that same group made a comment that JD was essentially Trump's assassination policy (this is before the actual attempt) - e.g. have a candidate that the radical Left would dislike or

    Tulsi, who is not a prosecutor, destroyed Harris in the debates. And I dont think Tulsi is that good of a debater.

    Could be a drop in energy levels, could be he has mellowed out a bit - I am not sure - in his Biden debate, we certainly got a more restrained Trump. Perhaps the near death experience has had some unintended consequences.

    Always doing ones best - an interesting standard... So the example I keep referencing is the lack of a retaliatory strike for downing a Drone. Organizing the end of the Middle East Wars is another, Making the US Energy independent, moving the embassy to Jerusalem - Those are the examples that stick out to me as doing ones best. I doubt you will agree with them - but if the standard is doing ones best, then from my perspective - Trump meets it.

    Sure - but it stands to reason if the USA is a net exporter of energy, then globally it will be cheaper than if the USA is a net importer of energy.

    Started a war? As I said - Trump is a reaction to deeper socio-political divides.

    What an odd response - so you are saying it is fine that the right wing media can drop the story earlier because trump supporters are already on the train, but the left wing media should run the story longer....to, ummmm - give slow reading democrats a chance to catch the train? Surely an easier solution would be to put kiwirail in charge, so every one has a fair chance to catch the now guaranteed slow late train

    Not sure where the rest of that went. Yeah, I must admit I've been waiting for the maga mob to start saying JD is a dem plant (with jd's history of calling trump hitler etc) and the war cry of "Lance JD Vance" to start ringing out!

    The comparison of the two vice president nominees can be found in the 2 videos below - both from yesterday. I now very much see why kamala picked that guy.

    Or he has been watching the wild popularity of the Dems conference? The differences between the RNC and DMC bashes was very stark to say the least.

    You would cheer like a giddy school boy for tulsi if she stood at the podium and recited the alphabet. I can just see it, as she gets to the letter "B" you would go and grab her arse and loudly shout "B for butt". I think we would all know what body part you would be grabbing to represent the letter "C"! As endorsed by the orange one

    Are you having a laugh? trump solved peace in the middle east? At best he did the equivalent of making some fighting kids in a playground begrudgingly shake hands. Moving the embassy pleased precisely one country and not retaliating when a single drone got shot down - big whoop. That in no way makes up for the carnage he caused his own countries faith in democracy through his never ending wahhh wahhh fire hose of stolen election lies.

    And in case you missed it, the USA is producing more oil under biden than trump. I'm assuming you are writing a letter of congratulations to biden right now?

    Okay - When certain Michigan tried to pass tyrannical restrictions based on the Sniffles - Militia turned out in force, armed to the teeth - to remind the Government that they work *for* the people.

    And so yes - I think that worked out better.

    When it comes to the Death Toll - that was an inevitability in the big cities based on an aging population, mass-transit systems and a prevalance of co-morbidities (many of which have been long pointed out).

    America, for the most part, retained its fundamental freedoms.

    Never before did I think in an Anglo-Liberal democracy I would need to show my papers to merely go about my business.

    NEVER

    Never did I think the rest of the population would be so complicit as to go along with it.
