Looks like Trump could win?

[Kittykat86]

It's looking good for Trump. My dad is a total Trump hater and has been convinced that he won't win, especially since Kamala took over.
I don't know how the system works but is it too early to say that Trump is going to win?

@Llhaaf if you are a British teacher, I thank God you are nowhere near my child.

Well, a lot of my Labour voting friends started feeling their regret around September.
So if in January they are still celebrating, I think they’re good!

Oh. 24 weeks and up till the day of birth are very different. Which is correct?

Exactly, I for one am hoping this Republican wave with Trump at the helm will pull things to the centre.. The pendulum has swung too far to the left.

That’s one single issue that is wheeled out as a blunt tool to polarise. You can be left wing and have critical views on that debate too.

Who, Starmer?

They already have.

Lyanaa, that's true.. Will he be able to control them, or even care?
I must say his alliance w the Christian Right sits uneasily w his pornstar- dating Las Vegas past. It's a marriage of convenience fir both, I guess.
& some horrible things he said were carried out. The so-called Muslim ban, for instance.

This is why people like Trump win because people like this exist in this world.
Utterly shameful.
I wonder how much lower the human race can go. I think we are about to find out.

Well obviously I think so, although she wouldn’t be my choice for President.

Trump, if you recall, refused to concede and started a riot. So a Trumpian criticising Harris for not conceding is, actually, a ridiculous comment.

With regards the EU I don't think pissing them of with Brexit needs to make that much difference to working together on defense etc. We still largely have shared interests there. Immigration is tougher because countries interests aren't aligned there. But even there Starmer is pushing for international cooperation on breaking people smuggling gangs.
I do think it's a pity about Brexit. But it's still possible to have a working relationship with the EU and I think if anything the news is a sign the the UK needs to pivot (not flounce) away. from blindly supporting America or expecting them to reciprocate.

I think the answer to your first question is a big fat Yes. I actually despair at the attitude to Ukraine. These people don’t know their history.

Me too!

PA still has to count its mail votes.

The Democratic Party should have realised that Biden wasn’t a viable reelection choice and they should have taken their time to look for a better candidate. Kamala was a rush decision and one would hope they learn from this.

Recriminations, already.

Blame Obama.

I'm a very environmental person and I believe that sexism and racism are still terrible blights on people's lives, but I wish as much attention was given to the looming new world order (China, Russia, Iran and their multi-polar world) as is given to climate change and identity politics. How do people think their children and grandchildren are going to like living in a world where countries with concentration camps are the dominant power?

This man would not piss on you if you were on fire.

This. I will never understand how people who vote for him, even if they clearly don’t give a shit about anyone else, think for one second he genuinely wants anything good for anybody but himself. He disgusts me. And, to be honest, so do all that voted for him.

Lol. Most parents wouldn’t know my political leanings, as there is only one thing I focus on in school, and that’s their child’s education.
That’s also why my exam success rate is always over 80%…and in a challenging area.

I don’t go to school to indoctrinate children. I go to educate children in my subject. And to show kindness to children who need a little of that in their lives.

If you care about anything else, you’re wasting your time.

And with that, I have to be in school within the hour, so some of us need to get showered and ready.

Congratulations America. I hope the next four years brings economic prosperity, happiness and certainty.

Israel has a right to eliminate the terrorist threats that murdered over 1400 of their citizens and took 150 odd hostages, and has killed most of them.
The terrorists are STILL firing rockets into Israel and killing their citizens.

In fact a Trump presidency might bring it to an end. Biden supported Israel.

Wrong post.

I think sterilising and mutilating kids and the President of the USA promoting it and the men who want more of it is pretty low to be fair.

Yes Trump himself will most likely be off playing golf but it’s who else is around him we need to be concerned about.

the fact is this has been a funny election. Harris would never have been the first choice of candidate for election but got it though a weird set of circumstances. Given her background I find her strangely inarticulate and I feel that the democrats lurched too far to the left and were facing a massive a backlash, particularly with their erosion of Title IX. I see people go ‘how can people vote Trump?’ But if you don’t want Harris, who else were you going to vote for?. If Biden had done an amazing job she would have been essentially the incumbent and voted in. Now that this could be his second term it will be a bit of a reset for both parties to sort themselves out and actually produce 2 candidates who give a valid choice to the people. If only they would truly listen to what people actually want!

@Pumpkinspawn "Right wing ideology? Do you mean people who are educated & have enough common sense to know that a biological male can never be a female & should not be trying to infiltrate women's sports."

I am left of centre and know that a male can never be a woman.

So stop trying to claim this is a right wing vs left wing issue.

It is however so typical of Trump and Reform voters to oversimplify issues, claiming right or left wing, woke, snowflake. It's such bollocks.

Zelensky has an inflated ego because he wants to defend his country from an illegal invasion?
Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe, more than twice the size of the UK. It’s hardly a tiny piece of land… but even if it were, why should a bully like Russia bulldoze it into submission. Unbelievable comment.
