Mid-terms looming, approval falling, prices rising, wars ongoing - Ping Ping and Fu Shuang must be wondering what heinous crime they committed to be banished chosen as envoys of friendship between China and USA. 🐼🐼

Meanwhile Israel goes to the polls.

I guess it would be too much to hope for a hat trick in a week ?

To be fair, some of the great intellectuals and academics of what is now the Arab world were Persian or of Persian descent and might not identify themselves as Arabic.

But somehow I doubt that is what RFdK meant...

That Al Gore, can't trust him, he was a Commie Leftie, probably Islamic with a name like that, with actual scientific proof of climate change. Who needs facts.

I saw his TRUTH about that. Nuts.

“To have to give advanced notices to a judge who has no expertise in Golf, Architecture, Landscaping, Construction, or anything else having to do with building such a World Class Project, is not fair, appropriate, or Constitutional,” Trump posted.

Yeah. Thing is, Judges do know the law. I would have POTUS knew that :-)

And looking at the map of the course, on it's Island, it seems Trump knows feck all about Championships etc. Because there is no space for spectators on that island. Unless he expects to to watch from boats offshore.

For the record, I know feck all about golf. But I was reading that his Turnbery course keeps getting knocked back for championships because of lack of access.

WTAF. At first I thought this was a joke, but it's real. I had no idea Scrotus was actually a 'plus' in the Israel elections. Cuz he certainly isn't one here!

For some reason I have just remembered that Trump dumped Bolsanaro like teh loser he is.

Yeah. I post on the Iran war thread. I think there are about 6 of us left now.

I don't post so much on the Palestine threads. Lot more posters on them, and they attract too many Islamophobics for me. And yes, I allowed to say that, because just look at what Trump has been saying/posting.

And what gets me about all this yelling of "We will win, we must win", is that Trump, and Netanyahu, are not defining what winning is? So how can they win, when they won't say what a win is ?

Zelensky on the other hand. We all know what a win there is, But Trump is trying to paint a Ukraine loss as a win.

Like " Melania got a ceasefire ". Did she fuck. She got the citizens of a Ukrainian city to evacuate. Leave their homes etc, so Russia can take it. She just got the Russians to promise not to kill them as they leave.

AND TRUMP PAINTS THAT AS A WIN.

Let's not forget how furious he was with Netanyahu when he phoned Biden to congratulate him for winning.

Quite. But times change. Maybe Trump realises he may need a big buddy in jail ?

No amount of air travel could do the harm already done. Think if it like cutting down trees to prevent an entire forest going up in flames.

are carrying chainsaws

Great news from Serbia - 'A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.'

Unfortunately the new lot don't seem to be pro-Ukraine, though. Or at least, they still won't impose any sanctions on Russia.

Let's see, between Scrotus & Vance, so far we have;

Abdul El-Sayed 'is a jihadist' and 'is evil'
Ilhan Omar 'shouldn't be here' and 'is an evil person'
James Talarico is 'too gay for TX' and 'is a (vegan) freak show'
Democratic Party 'is evil' and 'hates America'

And yet the GOP poll numbers keep on dropping as the CoL keeps rising.

I'm not saying we're going to see a Blue Wave. I'm not saying we're going to flip either the House or the Senate. Polls don't = votes. I'm just saying it's interesting. Diehard MAGAts will keep on "cheering stupid things I say and still love me" (Scrotus' own words) but it could be that some GOPers are either starting to wake up or really feeling the pain in the pocketbook.

My ballot will be dropped at the elections office today and I have signed up for CA's ballot tracking system. Roll on 3 Nov. I will probably still be up watching the returns when y'all in the UK are rising, shining, and having your first cup of morning tea (or coffee).

To my citizen pals here in the US; Take those ballots in early rather than mail them. And sign up for any tracking systems. Delays by the USPO could invalidate your ballot if it's not received and/or postmarked by election day.

To my non-resident citizen pals; mail your ballots in as early as you can and sign up for tracking, too.

IYKYK 😉
