You definitely need a gun in a mountain/wilderness area with dangerous animals on the prowl, but it made me laugh when Alex Crawford interviewed a few people on the streets on both sides of a Republican/Democrat clash who were dressed and armed like Rambo. The usual reason for being so heavily armed is constitutional rights or, the other guy's got a gun so I need to protect myself!

It's all well and good adults being armed and protecting themselves in the wild west of America, but when guns are taken into schools and fired on children, sometimes by children; that probably never happened two centuries ago or whenever the 2nd amendment was enacted - they need to get into the 21st century!

Trump administration removes senior defense officials and installs loyalists

Won't make much difference. He's losing in too many states. None of the legal options are at all likely either, since the congress would never accept it. There's no way he's still; at 10-1, you can safely lay Trump. Still money to be made! Crazy that the market is still going. Trump's like a hydra that American's just can't get rid of.

Only way Trump could win is a military coup, which given the news in previous posts, I wouldn't entirely discount at this point. I was an American, I'd be genuinely worried about November 14th....

Interesting for the math fans - probably not so for the left or right fans.

It's quite amusing when you look at the lowest prices some of the selections were matched at

I think Trump might currently be around the same odds he was early election night in 2016.

The craziest stuff I've ever seen on Betfair.
And still crazy prices even now.
His real odds of course at this point would be 30-1 or worse I reckon, so still a great lay opportunity I guess.

only issue is, it's not jumping about quite so much, so funds maybe tied up for a bit in order to profit squarely from it at this stage. but the odds on both a re decent i agree.

I didn't quite catch that when it was on the news. How can electronic media leave a mark from deleted text?
