    The world at large will catch a cold here.

    Part of my wishes I was born into one of those Amazon indigenous tribes and could be blissfully unaware.

    God help us, not that I'm religious like.

    Putin and Netanyahu will be over the moon, I have a feeling the UN may be very worried

    Sadly, I think that may well happen. And will that only embolden Vlad and he tries the same elsewhere?

    Trump for president,and an anti-vaxxer in charge of healthcare <doh>

    On a positive note though, cats and dogs will be safe from being eaten by illegal immigrants, and all those states which allow termination of babies after they've been born will have to stop doing that. I expect that as his first piece of legislation, followed by a mandatory injection of bleach and sunlight for all Americans.

    Swap Musk and Putin's heads and stick them all in a very enthusiastic circle jerk and that's about right.

    You'd think people in the western world wouldn't believe this nonsense but I overheard two elderly American tourists in Italy over the summer saying exactly this.

    In the US, after 5/6 or more decades of world domination,the citizens now realise they're under a constant threat from brics countries,who are hell bent on unseating their power.
    So,vote for the option who they think will protect them the most.

    Democrats underestimated X/Twitter and the real-life Bond villain that is Elon Musk.

    Imagine telling someone even ten years ago that the presenter of American Apprentice won because of a squirrel called Peanut died right before voting time.

    There's plenty of people calling Trump an idiot. That could well be true but the people supporting him have played a blinder, a masterclass in underdog warfare.

    They blamed Biden's government for everything making Trump the Che Guevara of forgotten America.

    His stunts were magnificent, handing out burgers at McDonald's with the saintliness of Gandhi, driving around in a garbage truck. It made him look relatable to the many millions who felt ignored.

    Kamala told Christians they should be at a Trump rally, engaged with out of touch celebrities (Beyonce after P Diddy?) or the liberal elite Trump stood against (Taylor Swift). Other than that she was shifty and insipid. And that laugh! God help us.

    hmm, what better way to get the war they all crave?

    elect a person they tried to get locked up and managed to avoid two attempts to kill him (apparently) and strange enough to act before he thinks...better dig in lads, this could be messy.

    Yep
    - but It usually comes back to bite you in the ass

    Especially if you are the Foreign Secretary.

    The thick bastards who call themselves MP’s can’t even remember what they said yesterday never mind a few years ago, luckily the public have very good memories so we can remind the gormless twats.
