Another nonsensical rant with personal attacks, it's getting silly now. He is getting worse,possibly because he thinks that Trump will win and that there will be a nasty outbreak of World wide peace. Another superb piece of analysis

Donald Trump cracks jokes at charity dinner, while Kamala Harris does video skit..by Emily Atkinson

Trump mocks Harris for skipping the traditionTrump says he is honoured to be at the dinner in New York and "wouldn't have missed it for anything", stating that Kamala Harris's decision to skip the event was "deeply disrespectful". "Maybe she's gone hunting with her running mate," he jokes in reference to Tim Walz, who has made hunting part of his campaign activities. He adds: "But if you really wanted Vice-President Harris to accept your invitation, I guess you should have told her the funds were going to bail out the looters and rioters in Minneapolis and she would've been here guaranteed" - making a reference to the unrest sparked by the death of George Floyd in 2020. Trump goes on to say he "didn't like Biden very much but now I like him" because they are no longer opponents, adding that the sitting president "was a much better candidate than her". "When we win, I'll like her, but right now I don't like her," he adds. "Catholics, you better vote for me. You better remember I'm here and she's not." The tradition of the dinner is you poke fun at yourself and your opponent. In 2012 then-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney joked about "dining with rich people" - a reference to his wealth, and his opponent Barack Obama joked about having slept through their first presidential debate - one he was seen to have performed poorly in. At tonight's dinner, Donald Trump made a few jokes at his own expense and those in the audience, with lines like: "I guess I just don't see the point of taking shots at myself when other people have been shooting at me for a hell of a long time". But there were repeated barbs aimed at Kamala Harris for not appearing herself and only sending in a video. Harris in her video made a few light jabs at Trump, saying at one point she wouldn’t criticise Catholics - "I would never do that. That would be like criticising Detroit in Detroit" - referring to an event last week in which Trump said the US would “end up” like Detroit if Harris wins the election. The fact that Harris skipped the event - the first time a Democrat has done so in 40 years - shows just how important her team felt campaigning in Wisconsin instead was. It’s one of the states which will likely decide this election, and polls there remain tight.

Pity It's a shame that you appear to be committed to nothing at all, at least in terms of your political, social and economic thinking. Can I ask you though, what is the point in posting on a current affairs discussion board when you are not prepared to discuss anything at all? It's nonsensical

I will make a prediction,IF Harris wins and there is a 'Kamala Harris President' thread on here the usual candidates will mention 'Trump' 'the Republicans' in every post...even though Biden/Harris have been in power for the last four years....if I didnt think that Trump is the best bet to stop WW3 I would welcome a Harris win just to be able to laugh and say "we did warn you". I am sure that post makes some sort of sense to someone, not sure who...but there you go It does make sense. What doesn't make sense are your constant attacks on the posters and just why the Mods continue to let it happen.

It's nonsensical Les, you keep coming back with the same old inane banal narrative, i really do expect a man of your age (72) to know better... Attack, attack, attack is your forever recurring motto that you bleat out at almost every other response that you make... Les, you could be such a nice, thoughtful and caring person if you took a minute or two and stayed calm.

Hurricane rattled me, says woman who lost home, but voting still matters..by Paulin Kola in Washington DCichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/1024/cpsprodpb/686c/live/4b46b160-8c93-11ef-81f8-1f28bcc5be15.jpgA resident in Boone, North Carolina, says that despite her home being destroyed by Hurricane Helene, she still intends to vote early in the US election The process, which allows people to vote in person or by mail ahead of 5 November, got under way in the swing state earlier today Cindy Galgano, currently living in a motel, told the BBC she's "always valued voting highly" and intends to cast her ballot for Donald Trump - who won North Carolina by about 70,000 votes at the last election Kamala Harris's campaign is vying to turn the state Democratic this time around, but officials have questioned whether the storm's aftermath will affect their chances Harris is campaigning in Wisconsin and has decided to break presidential tradition by not attending this year’s Al Smith charity dinner in person. Donald Trump, though, will be there Wtf These posts are getting more bizarre by the day. Go Cindy...is your husband in the local militia chasing FEMA employees trying to help you? Does BlueTornadoes know where North Carolina is? Go Tar Heels To quote yourself Oldie..... "I am sure that post makes some sort of sense to someone, not sure who...but there you go"

Another nonsensical rant with personal attacks, it's getting silly now. He is getting worse,possibly because he thinks that Trump will win and that there will be a nasty outbreak of World wide peace. Oldie seems to live in a world of black & white. His thinking goes that if you support a person/party then you believe in every word that person/party says, and every policy they push. In the real world this view is of course nonsense. For example, in the GE I voted for Reform, however I believe their policy on Nationalization to be wrong and I would never support that policy. Maybe we should cut Oldie some slack because his world is purely a confrontational world. It does seem as though the word 'compromise' has been left out of his mental dictionary.

What doesn't make sense are your constant attacks on the posters and just why the Mods continue to let it happen. Hi Nobby I cannot read every single post although I try to read as much as I can. Like others I don't always have the time, I can however review something if requested. The mods have had no complaints registered. We should all respect each others opinion, whichever side of the political spectrum, responding to the post not the poster. If a post seems not to make sense then a question should be asked to clarify. So, we do not 'continue to let it happen' as you seem to believe, implying we allow certain people to get away with things. We try to be fair as much as possible. Regards Cheshire
