Support for the Chump's re-election is growing. Now he has the Taliban rooting for him.

What could possibly go wrong?

I am certain that all those who wish harm to the USA and its interests are praying for another Trump presidency!

Sorry, EA01.

That report by a commentator called Jamie Siedal contains damning claims easily proved incorrect. As far as I can tell this person is not a reporter for any credible news outlet and the story is not credited as coming from any known news organisation.

Unemployment.
His claim that unemployment is sky high is just stupid. In early 2020 unemployment was the lowest it had been for 20 years. Covid quite obviously caused a dramatic increase to 14% unemployment but the rate is now falling as dramatically as it rose and it is now passing 9% on the way down. The present unemployment rate is already lower than it was in 2009 so to say that "unemployment is sky high" is an error if the author is incompetent or a cynical lie if he is not.

"Emergency food queues for kilometres".
Sorry, I searched Google News and could not find any news on long emergency food queues in America and not on short ones either for that matter. Please let me know if you discover any examples.

This fellow is a simple fantasist on a slow news day.

This could hurt
https://www.cityam.com/wto-tells-eu-it- ... subsidies/
A UK / US trade deal moves a step closer. EU increases cost of US aircraft to the 27, Boeing needs the work and gives UK a good price, EU loses Airbus sales in the US and UK. Boris suggests he will support this "in the context of a comprehensive trade deal". All over a miserly 4B.

China has nowhere to go and Russia has too much to lose.

Did you notice this little piece recently?
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-a ... -agreement
The UK is Ukraine’s most fervent supporter. Whether it’s our defence support, stabilisation efforts, humanitarian assistance or close cooperation on political issues, our message is clear: we are utterly committed to upholding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Whoooh! I doubt the Tsar will be laughing about this.

We all know of the great Tango's intention to ignore the vote if it doesnt go his way, but considering the recent cases of mail bags being dumped and ballot boxes dissapearing It seems to me that if the vote doesn't go for Joe then he has good reason to behave same.

It appears that whatever happens in November You lot are in the ***** and probably wont have a functioning dictatorship for months to come

Dushan is indeed a fine bloke and doesn't consume alcohol.
