US Politics / Biden thread

I got as far as his digression from his digression. Did he manage to brilliantly pull all the threads of his narrative back together? If so, what actually is the relationship between immigration and Hollywood actors' physical fitness?

No, he just went into speaking in what I assume was supposed to be an impression of a Latin American accent.

Trump's solved another problem that only a genius could solve.

He doesn’t even seem to understand what an app is ‘they call the app’. Huh?

It has all the hallmarks of something he saw somewhere, didn't really understand what it was all about (ditto 'asylum'), but thought it was worth throwing at Harris anyway, with some comment like "Who knew what an app is?"

Anyone watch the Vance vs Walz debate ?
Just on highlights Vance seemed more assured - Walz certainly isn't a great communicator in that format.
Walz made a few gaffes - Vance refused to day Trump lost the last election - haven't seen any polling on how they were received

I just can't see the point in a poll that surveys just 1000 people in a diverse population of 350m where the only votes that count are the stupid Electoral College ones, even though it seems it is generally very close (and much closer than it should be, in the circumstances).
I guess it gets clicks and sells papers though, so they keep on publishing these.

You've got threads for rockets *and* Musk when he's not being political. If you're not careful, I'll start posting stuff about jazz and trumpets in the politics threads randomly.

The fact you can't even give that massive achievement a like proves how bias you are, by all means disagree with Musk but have some class and praise what SpaceX has achieved. I sure as damn know you'd be mocking a failed attempt here.
It looks like some film CGI, it's that incredible. Remember the Americans used to use Russian rockets.
Come on Brian show some class. That goes for the rest of you.

Even if you put it in the right thread I'm not going to give it a like, any more than I'd have given Mussolini a like for making Italian trains run on time.

I just find that sad.

Why do people say bias when they mean biased?
proves how bias you are - not it's biased.
You show bias, but you are biased.
Pedant rant over!

Yep, fair point.

How is this not election interference? $1m/day in a swing state to someone who signs up to right wing agenda.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I suppose left wing election interference is OK though?
Mind you, if anything, they might win it for Trump. As the article jokes;
"It’s hard to think of anything more likely to put off American voters than a group of Left-wing limeys showing up, uninvited, in order to lecture the locals about the perils of authoritarianism.
Imagine the scene at the barn doors of Beaver County, Pennsylvania when Marcus and Indy, from Bethnal Green, come a’ knockin:
“Waddaya want?”
“Hey, yah, so we’re from the international Progressive Alliance and I’m here to tell you that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy.”
“Suzanne, git ma AR-15...” "

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has said he will give away $1m (£766,000) a day to a registered voter in the key swing state of Pennsylvania until the US presidential election in November. The winner will be chosen at random from those who sign a pro-constitution petition.
A constitution is a set of fundamental rules that determine how a country or state is run. Almost all constitutions are “codified”, which simply means they are written down clearly in a specific document called “the constitution”.
He's not telling people how to vote.
The Federal Communications Commission has approved a controversial deal: it gives control of more than 200 radio stations to a group funded by Democratic mega-donor George Soros.
Republicans in congress are calling it an attempt to interfere in the election and the House Oversight Committee is investigating how the FCC handled the deal.
The News 4 I-Team interviewed one of the FCC commissioners who opposed the move. He says approval was fast-tracked in a way the FCC has not done before.
In a complex deal, a nonprofit funded by billionaire George Soros is taking over the radio station licenses of Audacy Inc., a broadcast company that's been in bankruptcy.
Talking of election interference.

Yeah well, as far as I'm concerned he is saying join my cult and some will become millionaires. Stinks.

It's not illegal but the ruling party of one country sending people over to another country to support one side is probably not advisable or wise - especially if Trump wins...
Also as the article explains, it has a history of failure.

I guess it is a leftie free pass from you then. Thought so.

It also does seem illegal on the face of it, from the below (not least as Musk is the beneficiary of public contracts, which adds more restrictions). I've seen it suggested that even if Garland sticks to precedent of not pursuing new legal cases close to an election, it doesn't stop some body suing Musk in order to halt the scheme.
There also seems to be another scheme Musk is involved in the might be illegal (similar to which others have been imprisoned/fined for):

Didn't your let send a former PM to the RNC?
I understand why everyone might like to keep quiet about that 🙂

Interesting that the viewing figures for Harris on Fox news were significantly higher than for Trump. Obviously could be many reasons for that but I suspect a least a proportion were perhaps some undecided voters keen to hear what she had to say.

Sorry, should say "your lot". Truss has been very visible. I'm led to believe that a few weeks secondment is fairly normal for political nerds from either of the main parties.
