If you watch Sky News you can be forgiven for thinking most Americans are deranged lunatics, but I'm beginning to feel Americans with moderate or intelligent views just aren't newsworthy. :lol:
The latest stats show that around 68 million Americans leave high school or college with no formal education qualifications. That’s more than the total population of the UK.

When I tell the story of the waitress I met in a diner once who didn’t know where England was most people think I am joking. I’m not.

I don’t know but I imagine a large majority of that 68 million probably have guns.
I've met people right here who don't understand north, south, east and west. You'd think north/south England, America, World, etc. would be a clue. If you can master left and right the compass shouldn't be much of a challenge!

What a waste of time and money, I guess what else is he meant to do :lol:

Chris Christie also declaring soon, at least he probably has a purpose in that he’s going to go out all guns blazing and attack but then bow out after the first couple of primaries.

Biden's fallen over on stage. Big mistake, the Republicans will have a field day over this.

Edit: He tripped over a sandbag. Anyone can do that. :)

It’s amazing what optics can do to a persons popularity, if Obama was in his first term now getting stuff done like Biden is he’d be unbeatable going into 24.

Imagine backing Trump at sub 1.6 days before an indictment, and after slagging off 3 of 4 early state primary governors

Trump is well and truly fucked isn't he.

That many now have now thrown him under the bus, normally its Trump who's doing the throwing.

Mark Meadows is probably the biggest one to testify, it seems like they've left no stone unturned.

Out from 4.0 to 4.6 just on the possibility an indictment is close, will get to 5.5-6+ when its officially announced and all the charges are made public

All I've seen in the news today is Ukraine, Prince Harry and Sunak in the US being questioned on UK matters. Nothing on Trump but good to know he's on the drift.

Trump indited and summoned to appear in a Miami court on Tuesday. :D

He says it's a hoax. I think he means witch hunt.

Basically everyone in Mar-a-lago has been subpoenaed, he’s got no defence as he’s said numerous times on TV that he declassified them with his mind, if he wriggles his way out of this one he really is Teflon Don.

And I’m guessing they’re also going to bring J6 charges in DC…just reading now that charges will probably be brought in about a months time for J6

Smarkets still continuing to trade Trump about 7 ticks shorter than BF, it really wouldn’t surprise me if Smarkets themselves are backing it as I remember laying the full amount and then another back bet came in it’s place almost immediately.

Biden still trading around 1.4 for nominee, I reckon if it wasn’t for PC then that would’ve been swept up a long time ago, now why would anyone back it when on PC2 and end up with odds closer to 1.2
