Whenever someone talks about politics when I'm in the US, and I'm being expected to say something, I tend to take the line of 'from an overseas view, what's astonishing is just how polarised your politics is. It's odd that there's only politicians at the extremes and no one represents the people on the ground who are more usually a bit more in the middle'. Everyone, everywhere thinks they're in the middle, so it generally goes down ok with people from whatever part of the political spectrum.

Unless you meet a true loony. Met a genuine honest to goodness flat earther once. Turned out to be an antisemite. What a surprise that was.

Trump is liable in the second E. Jean Carroll defamation case, judge rules; January trial will determine damages

A federal judge ruled that the jury hearing E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit will only need to decide how much money Donald Trump will have to pay her, after the judge found the former president was liable for making defamatory statements.

The finding is a significant blow to Trump, who is facing numerous criminal indictments and civil lawsuits – many of them coming to a head as he embarks on a presidential campaign.

......

In May after a two-week trial, a jury found Trump sexually abused Carroll and defamed her when he said in 2022 that he didn’t rape her, didn’t know her, and that she wasn’t his “type.”

In that case, the jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages.

The Biden Administration wants to now make our Army Tanks all Electric so that, despite the fact that they will not be able to go very far, fewer pollutants will be released into the air

The Army wants to field a fully electric tactical vehicle by 2050, and to develop the charging capability to meet those vehicles’ needs by the same date, according to its 2022 climate plan. By 2035, it plans to field a hybrid tactical vehicle and run a fully electric non-tactical fleet.

Given the plumes of thick black smoke from the tank exhausts you see on some of the videos, going electric might be a bit more “stealth” also?

Probably because he's watching what the gear is being used for.

You mean the god fearing, family values first, Christian who thinks that Christianity should come before the constitution?

After having her plastic tits fondled, whilst having a good old grope of cock, vaping in front of pregnant women, whilst still legally married and a grandmother by a 17 yr old son and a girl who was of legal age..(that's 14).. Congresswoman..

But the Reps continually cry over the most nothing shit, either real or made up.

Our version in Canada continually bring up Trudeau doing blackface at a costume party in 2001 and as a student for stage production, which he apologized for. ... not good enough for the right wing nuts who call him a traitor and the worst PM in history.

Endorsing Congressman Jim Banks for the U.S. Senate from the Great State of Indiana was a very easy thing for me to do. I was happy to see that, after the Endorsement, some talented and professional people, but not talented and professional in a league with Jim, all drooped out of the race. Jim has no choice but to be GREAT because Indiana’s other Senator, Todd Young, has been weak & ineffective! Jim will be replacing a very good and talented Senator, Mike Braun, who is running for Governor

Freudian !

I'm sure one of the keenest observer of Trudeau coming back on the market was Melanoma !

WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - The Biden administration is in talks with Vietnam over an agreement for the largest arms transfer in history between the ex-Cold War adversaries, according to two people familiar with a deal that could irk China and sideline Russia.

A package, which could come together within the next year, could consummate the newly upgraded partnership between Washington and Hanoi with the sale of a fleet of American F-16 fighter jets as the Southeast Asian nation faces tensions with Beijing in the disputed South China Sea, one of the people said.

Oh, that'd be hilarious, just for how the Trump cult would react! He'll probably hook up with a Hollywood celeb to beat ol' dad's track record, but I'd love to know if he offers Melania a decent proposal.
