I confess that I’ve watched some excepts from the debate. I’m pretty sure Joe Biden won.

Which is a fuckin shame, but apparently it's the best we can do.  Sorry, world - from America.

when you are grasping, don’t complain it is merely a straw.

that’s how trice within 23 years, the United States ended up without even a straw at the end of a presidential election

Judge Chutkan just handed Trump's legal team their arse. The trial is scheduled for 4 March 2024. Delays due to motions are likely, but it's still not the April 2026 date his team wanted.

I do not look forward to another election circus. But, it'll be here soon.

I must say that I have been under-impressed with Kamala Harris. Of course, she has been nearly invisible so I have no idea what she might be capable of.

This would have fractured the country beyond repair. Had it happened, I wouldn't have been surprised to see many states breaking off, or at least attempting to break off, from the union. Especially the deeply blue states.

That may have been his point. People like Ramaswamy, Boebert, Palin, etc seem to positively yearn for the balkanization of the US.

no,  they are just short sighted parasites who thinks their host still has lots of living fat for them to devour,  oblivious to the fact the host may die and they are unlikely to survive their host.

Being oblivious to the consequences of shattering the US doesn’t mean they wouldn’t like to see it happen. Just the opposite.
