Prime minister Yahoo, addressing the US congress, said that the protestors outside the building will officially become Iran's useful idiots. :D

Trump now claims Harris is the worst VP in American history. Obviously doesn't remember Dan Quale (and his tomatoe). :)

Joe Biden claims to be the only man to defeat Trump (in all two elections!) and the man with the best chance of beating him again. Therefore he decides the best thing to do his hand the task to somebody with a lesser chance. :roll:

Naffman hasn't been around since Old Joe stepped aside, hope he never got caught with his pants down in the market. That was a dangerous market, a very dangerous market as human beings have to sleep.

I listened to JD Vance making a speech and it was poor, and this railing against childless women that has come up makes him look like an ogre.

On the other hand I'm not massively impressed by Kamala Harris either to put it mildly.

US politics is in a right state.

I’m not an expert on US politics but I suspect many voters and dark forces in power will not want a female president of the USA.

I was impressed the camera's were there to capture the phone call (with perfect audio)... How lucky was that !

Beginning to think Kamala could beat Trump. She's as sharp as a tack and unafraid to speak her mind. That could appeal to a lot fed up with political BS. Telling Netanyahu to end his war is pretty gutsy. I would tune into a debate between her and Trump for sure.

Been looking back at some of my greatest trades.

Check out this doozer from 17 months before the 2016 US election. I ended up trading out when he was about 10. No balls back then. :lol:

65 million US women of reproductive age have to decide if they want to vote away their abortion rights. Problem is, many women disagree with abortion until the get raped or endure some other experience that makes them see the world for a different angle.
