US politics - cooked

Agree with you on all points. The democrats have already targeted de santis despite him not yet nominating (although that is a matter of time) purely, I suspect, because they are afraid he has broader appeal than trump (correct although it’s all relative) and his age and energy will provide a significant and obvious point of difference to Biden.

Don’t make me do stuff.

Serbia has acted promptly to tighten up gun laws - However are they investigating how a thirteen year old meticulously planned his assault and specifically targetted those who had allegedly bullied him - Yes, tightening up guns laws should be applauded and is a necessary step BUT lets delve deeper into the background of the under-age shooter and what societal behaviours caused his actions.

I like Trump saying he didn’t even know who she was… well, that makes it better. Senile, or too many such examples?

The part where he said she wasn’t his type, then mistook Carroll for his former wife in a photo and his lawyer had to correct him, in hindsight probably didn’t help his case either.

The most striking thing about this to me is the judge telling the jury not to identify themselves publicly, out of any personal danger to themselves that may occur as a result of this.

Sandi Logan, who is on a tour outside Oz promoting his book about the American drug grannies jailed in Australia, says he feels too unsafe to do promos in the USA.
Instead he will do them from Canada, his country of origin.

says he feels too unsafe to do promos in the USA.

Fair enough.
Some of these religious zealots are prepared to wait a long time to exact “revenge” .
Take the 2022 Salman Rushdie stabbing , about 35 years after the fatwa.

Not guilty of rape tho. Phew /s

The media and Democrats can now report that a court has found that Trump is a sexual abuser with complete impunity now.

Only $2.7M in damages? Chump change. And he will get his chumps to pay it.

Today might just be the nadir of US politics in my lifetime.

Both parties just doing their absolute best to tell the world how much they suck.
