Is Biden really the best the Democrats could put forward? A racist with wandering hands? They can only blame themselves if they don't win it.

Yeah, things are just great in the US at the moment. Just great. Those who warned about Trump being a fascist should have been listened to. By God, how they were proven right.

The person who decided to arrest the telly reporter must be a bit slow. What as he thinking on live television like?

US cops don't come across as the most reasonable bunch. They certainly don't do any reasoning. Say what you like about the Gardai but they're light years ahead of that lot.

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

He was thinking the reporter was ethnic minority. Which seeems to be an arrestable offence in America.

I went to the Hoover Dam before, three police officers checked everyone on the way in. One said 'Any Muslims aboard?'

They don't play over over there. Was on a bus from Cleveland to New York years ago and we were near enough the Canadian border round Buffalo I think. The cops came on and checked all our I.D's/passports but there was one latino fella who wouldn't answer the cops question on how he got into the country. He was pretending he could't understand English but they hauled him off the bus straight away.

The "are there any Muslims on board" thing is not remotely funny though. It's just racism.

I'm laughing at the absurdity of it not the actual victimising of Muslims.

I know that. It's just the way they said it. Stupid baseball hats on and a big machine gun. The dam was full of freaks who thought the government built it to hide aliens.

OK. The thing is, I've completely lost any ability to see humour in the situation in the US. I just see it as profoundly depressing, it makes me very angry, and I see Trump, the Republican party and this whole crazy white supremacist, fascist ideology that has swept through so much of white America as nothing more than pure evil. I saw it that way from the start. It's like a malignant cancer, and it's linked to so many appalling situations internationally. If it doesn't end in November (and it won't because he'll be there until January at least), I fear catastrophic things are going to happen, not that they aren't already, but on a much greater scale. This guy and his international allies are an existential threat to our world.

A good read in The Atlantic- most of them are - it’s framed around the pandemic and how its spreading in the US.
But also touches on roots of social injustice and imbalance over there. 30 minutes with a brew of choice required. |

I’m not sure if the assumption that they will sweep to power. In more extreme examples Trump is very much in the hunt for re-election and the Tories turned a two year period of disaster and parliamentary loss after loss into an overall majority. If a government is formed, and remains stable for five years, they will be in the hunt for re-election in 2025. SF will undoubtedly continue in with their nonsense “I’ll have what you’re having approach”, while abstaining in Westminster (a platform they were voted for on), and being the “opposition” within the power sharing agreement up north. It’s easy to scratch their surface. But I think on another note, what scares me about the George Floyd (RIP) killing is that it may actually only be the thin edge of the wedge, and that things are about to get a whole lot worse.

I didn't know too much about him prior to today, I knew the name and that was it really, but he seems like he has a heart and a brain and genuinely cares about his hometown. He came across very well there. It is rare I would say this about a cop, but their chief of police deserves credit for going on to the street and meeting them.
