Seriously, no. Now if his ear was nicked by a meteorite I'd be even more disappointed in our imprecise universe, that's for sure. But we should never want, or hope for, any of the ills of our country cured by political assassinations. That is especially true now that we've had such an odious, vindictive, and incompetent jackass like Trump spoiling our record of peaceful transitions.

That one’s brilliant. It’s got so many levels of insanity to it. Apparently even before he became the candidate it was already known that he was so into porn he used to hang out in porn stores with video booths most weekdays before everything moved online. And now the reporters were able to verify it was him by cracking the fiendish code of he used his own real name, everyday email address and social media handle to register on the site. Other great details like his already well known habit of quoting from Hitler’s speeches but saying that doesn’t mean he likes Hitler because history books quite him too (and the GOP evidently thought that was fine) then on the porn site saying ‘I’d choose Hitler over anyone in DC right now!’ Then after all his warnings about transgender people invading womens’ bathrooms, the admissions that he still fantasises about the time he actually did find a way to spy on a high school girls’ shower room. The theory that says Republicans will always be found trying to do the stuff they accuse their opponents of doing pretty much never fails. I hope we never find out what’s on JD Vance’s takeaway menu…

Hi Nigel, IMO it would be an even better day when all religions are in our rearview mirrors. Jerry Baumchen

He needs to get several dozen mares and a couple breeding stallions. So he can ride the colts when they get old enough replacing the older horses when they die on the trail.

Which is something he will never, ever do. He will deny, delay and distract. He's done it before. Indeed, he will consider it a victory if it bothers you. Given that, I'd suggest there are better ways to spend your time.

I really think that Trump and Vance are knowingly inciting violence and unrest as a deliberate strategy. They want and need blood to be spilled on a large scale. A couple of weeks ago we had a discussion with regards to the UK government locking up people for inciting violence. A US friend argued that it means the UK doesn’t have free speech. Once again I think the US lacks guard rails as it doesn’t appear there is means to stop the 2 loonies.

That's going to be a long dusty trail for you.

So none of your grandparents wanted to associate with their own kind?

Evidently Iran wants Harris to win as stolen-hacked trump campaign documents were offered to the Harris campaign staff. Meanwhile Putin and Russia are all in for a trump win with multiple troll farms working 24/7. In other news the US stock markets are at record highs, inflation at four year lows, full employment, gas prices at new lows, a 1/2% interest rate cut. Sorry Brent but Bideneconomics is clearly working wonders.

Landmines are truly indiscriminate, so are rockets fired blindly into civilian areas. As John says these were terrorist communications devices. Israel is responsible for the innocent casualties, of course they are. But the real question is did they make reasonable efforts to minimise killing innocent people? In my opinion they did - it was terrorist equipment with a small amount of explosives limiting the radius.

God wants him to rot in jail, not die a martyr.

Hi Mark, The Palestinians only have to reach a peace agreement with the Israelis and then they can make progress on all of their disputes. IMO it is the shards of Arafat that are still causing the problems. War is hell. Jerry Baumchen

This is the reason why President Harris will and should bring a more balanced approach to Israel. What Kamala Harris really thinks about Israel and Gaza Article for VOX dated July 25, 2024 To date the US state department has sanctioned individual Israeli settlers involved in these attacks.Which is a total joke. The US needs to hold a press conference stating that Netanyahu is personally accountable for the safety of these Palestinian farmers. That all aid will be halted if this continues. The real backbone to this problem is Iran. Iran is meddling in many Arab countries in the region and all the Arab countries are concerned.So they have aligned closer to Israel as a counter to Iran. At the same time toned down the support for Palestinians. Mostly because Hamas is the winner if they support the Palestinians.
