US Elections 5th November

Fortunately for the general American population the actual policies have been beneficial for them.

There was an hilarious moment last night when Trump accused Biden of not firing enough people, as if the chaos of his tenure was something to be proud of. Then Biden reminded everyone of the huge debt pile Trump accumulated.

The Democrats are in the brown smelly stuff of their own creation. Blindingly obvious for at least a year that Biden is not fit for office.
It was there for all to see at the debate. Undecided voters will not vote for someone with dementia.
But to jettison Biden now, would see Newsom or Harris take on Trump. And they both poll even worse than Biden against Trump.
So they're fooked.
Republicans are now 4/7 to win the election and pretty much all of the swing states are all headed Trumps way.
I don't want the Donald in the Whitehouse. But to see the snowflakes go in to total meltdown... yeah... why not.

Great news for Trump just announced...supreme court says the President has immunity...liberal judges hystrical with rage....cases wont be heard until after Novembers election....

"The US Supreme Court rules former presidents are entitled to absolute immunity from prosecution for official acts taken while in office, but have no immunity for unofficial acts"

I think this is about right, if there is clear demarcation between "official" and "unofficial"

Is mounting a false campaign that tried to undermine an election result with lies and frivolous lawsuits, all of which were thrown out by multiple courts across the States, "Official"?

If it is that not abuse of executive powers (as in Nixon's case)
Or is that unofficial?

I guess what I find disturbing is that anyone, and I mean anyone" could find it in themselves to support Trump.
I watched the debate live over there and as bad as Biden was (I felt sorry for him, he really should step down) Trump was a ranting lunatic spouting lie after lie. I get the sense over there that he turned a lot of people off. I hope so, but unless something big happens he will be reelected.
A disaster for the American economy, a disaster for civil liberties, a disaster for the international liberal free markets.

Common knowledge?
I think not. Something has happened over the last 18 months to Biden.
Lots of name the Governor's of California, Gavin Newsom: Michigan, Gretchin Whitmer: New York, Kathy Hochul

And of course the VP Kamala Harris who procedurally, if Biden steps down now, it should be.

Cue triggering a load of white males going berserk because she is black and a woman.

On what grounds have you determined that she is "useless"?

How have you come to the conclusion that "she ain't got it"?

Ok.

But

— President Biden, facing a political crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border in the early days of his administration, tapped Vice President Kamala Harris to lead a high-profile response that would bet heavily on improving conditions in three Central American countries.
It was known as the “root causes” strategy. The border, administration officials argued, was only a symptom. If the United States could improve economic, security and political conditions in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, fewer people would risk the perilous journey and much of the problem could be solved, they reasoned.

Three years later, the border crisis has only deepened, with record numbers of migrants from all over the hemisphere overwhelming the border, and a president on the defense as Republicans make immigration a key issue in his reelection campaign.

Specialists in migration say the administration miscalculated, choosing a narrow and time-consuming strategy that failed to anticipate the shifting nature of migration.

“It was focused on a long-term scenario and it was focused on countries that are no longer the primary sending countries,” said Ariel Ruiz Soto, a senior policy analyst with the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan research group."

Given that everything that had gone before had failed, regardless of the administration, I personally could understand why the administration opted for something more radical, rather than just repeat the same old responses laced with the usual anti immigrant tropes.

It appears to have failed, not because of Harris, but because the policy was flawed and not tuned to a quick result.

Of course the media and others will focus on Harris..like I said.

OK, let's not go any further on this as it's painfully obvious that you will support any Democrat as evidenced by your defence of Biden over the last couple of years when it was painfully obvious to anyone with any sense that he was ill and shouldn't be allowed to carry on. Harris has been described in the US media as 'the most unpopular VP in modern times'. She was the first to pull out of the Democratic Presidential Nomination race as she didn't even get 1% of her own parties support!
You appear blinkered in your views, so you'll find yourself going down that same alley as you did with your defence of Biden.

Newsweek
"He said: "To realize just how unpopular Kamala Harris is, you have to keep in mind the historical significance of it all. No one in her position has had this low of favorabilities in a first term since Dan Quayle. That's saying something. So it's no surprise, especially with Biden's age, that Republicans keep hammering home a simple point: a vote for Biden is a vote for Harris.



"While it's usually the top of the ticket that drives voting, and that will be true again in 2024, Harris' abysmal popularity will matter on the margins. And with next year's election poised to be close, those margins could end up being a difference-maker."
