What a waste of such an enormous election victory.

So he’s saving his most popular stuff for the end of the campaign, then?

There’s an obvious dissonance here. The Republicans are borderline fascists who will kill democracy if they’re elected, unlike me who will put Republicans in my cabinet. Just terrible messaging.

Steven Spielberg bought the Rosebud sled from Citizen Kane for $55,000 in 1982. Orson Welles commented to his frequent collaborator Gary Graver, “If I knew people would spend this much money, I would’ve just made sleds.”

… is there really about to be over 100 hours of tapes of Epstein talking about Trump?

Their new album’s out today and it’s pretty great, I have to say.

2016 was the true end of history.

He says he thought Trump was dead. The news that he wasn’t dead was broken basically immediately.

At least there’s a good reserve in there, but for John Hurt dying in 2017.

Ridley Scott picked some fights with historians over Napoleon and, excitingly, it appears he's primed to do it again! Some of these are nitpicking, but this is awesome.

Weird that he didn't think to check the news at any point along the way, but I suppose he had to perform the role of badass commando that he so desperately wants.

I dunno, Biden laid down red lines that got ignored but there were report after report of him really meaning it this time. Hopefully you’re right but I’m pessimistic, unfortunately.

But he’s the one with power right now. In 1968, protestors hounded Johnson out of recontesting the presidency, had his subbed in VP change course on the war to save his shot at the presidency, but he changed too late and fell to Nixon, who expanded and prolonged the war. I don’t think anybody in...

Swings and roundabouts. Starmer's doubled down on austerity, which I don't think Harris is going to do. Macron did put up an incredibly right wing Prime Minister with the support of Le Pen's party in order to block the left getting a foothold, which kind of tarnishes the whole horseshoe theory...

Well so long as we all end up in the same place, the journey is probably less important. I don't think every comment about Biden needs a footnote comparing Trump. Because it was a joke. People barely like one candidate. Nobody likes both.

Because it does. America has less class consciousness than Australia or Western Europe, but it's been the case that low income voters vote Democrat since the New Deal.

Fair enough. I think I can be unsparing of Trump at times but he's such a known quantity that I've run out of much more to say. I've posted a fair bit about my thoughts on immigration and abortion. Funnily, I don't think the posters in the other International Politics threads (UK, France...

What do you think happens to people in the states with voter ID who can’t afford to get it? Do you think there should be a cost barrier to people being allowed to vote? What proof of address requirements do you think people without fixed address should be required to provide in order to obtain...

I hope Trump loses so you can find a new thing to say whenever there’s a criticism levelled at the Democrats.

Israel is a client state of the US and wouldn’t be able to carry this out without the US arming and supporting them. The US has also been drawn into strikes in Yemen etc at those who have taken action to curtail the Israeli actions. China does not have the same relationship with Russia and has...

I think he believes she needs him more than he needs her.

5. Lucy Dacus - Night Shift omgfridge I went through a break up around the time this song came out. Out of embarrassment I'll leave out some of the extra details but I listened to it a lot lol. 4. Rolling Stones - Midnight Rambler Fossie 32 kinda stunned this did so poorly, I adore this tune. 3...

Some of us like both candidates!

The French, the French!

Sees the goodness in his Republican colleagues that he doesn’t in Palestinian children, how lovely.

lol it hasn’t been clear what Biden means when he speaks for years now.

There’s no direct French word for “judgmental”, largely because that’s just the normal way to be.

And in 2012 there were Mitt Romney's comments about the 47% of people who his job wasn't to worry about and that "I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." I think comments like these make voters feel insulted, even if they're not the ones...

lol that’s not clear. He misspoke, which is to be expected, and whoever wrote the speech and didn’t realised “his supporter’s demonisation” is mildly complicated enough to have him potentially slip up should’ve known better. To quote Nate Silver, “The fact that he can't consistently speak...
