Sorry, a news channel said that a news story was going to be pay per view? Am I reading that correctly or are you taking the piss and I should take myself off to the thick thread?
LOL, just jesting about the whole coverage of it Paul, sky no doubt would be wall to wall coverage with reporters on the ground in the war zones bringing coverage like the game modern warfare all we would need is the popcorn LOL

Not to mention the possible militias that can be recruited in neighbouring countries.
 

Here's a very thorough look at it from Radio War Nerd, worth a listen once it gets going.

There's a big gun protest going on in American, a protestor actually said that banning guns is like banning cars. More or less saying- Guns don't kill people, cars don't kill people, people kill people.

If you've ever met a pro-guns advocate or Trumpist, you're wasting your time trying to debate or reason with them. They're too entrenched in their views and you'd only spend the whole night arguing with a brick wall.

It's mad how nobody talks about this anymore. 

Especially after that utter sham last night and over the last week. Putin would have been proud of his boys.

Democracy in the US is so, so fooked. It's way, way worse than you think.

And by extension that means it's fooked pretty much everywhere else too.

So it’s going to be Joe (77) or Bernie (78) up against the young lad Donald (73).....

He’s going to get a double term unless something major happens.

Are you trying to suggest these 3 are the same because they are similar ages? I do agree that Trump is a fairly heavy favourite now though, I'd be tempted to pick him over Biden.

With the support Joe Biden has from the unions he can win the swing states of PA, OH, MI and IL and can beat Trump. That is why Trump had been trying to get Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden, he knows Biden can beat him.

Warren dropping out.

A real shame. A first class intellect and would have been a fantastic president.

She completely derailed her own campaign with that nonsense she got involved over Sanders with - i.e calling him a liar and then refusing to shake his hand after one of the debates. It's been all downhill for her since then - culminating in the ignominy of not even winning her home state on Tuesday.
 
I actually thought the DNC would do everything in their power to keep her involved though as she's the only one left potentially taking votes off Sanders. Her dropping out has to be seen as a huge boost to his campaign.

Only if she endorses him. The rest have all shamelessly consolidated in behind Biden in order to stop Bernie. The DNC are at it again and they deserve everything they get when they run Hilary 2.0 against Trump. 

Biden also has some pretty worrying mental health issues and seems to be developing early dementia. It's not just gaffes like before. 

I'd still have him over Trump no question but he's a much weaker candidate than Bernie imo.

So it’s Joe v Donald in November.

Donald wins a 2nd term.

I think this crisis may change the thinking of some voters. There also isn’t the polarisation caused by Hillary. Provided the Democrats can unite, he’s in with a good shout.
