Its all very depressing I didn't see any MSN reportage of the French Parliamentarians observations in direct defiance of ICJ Perhaps I missed it as the Newsfeeds were busy reporting US and UK bombing Iraq and Syria Then you have Nutjob Hitler apologist and Anti Semite Hana Tov calling out a Nutjob Rabid Rabbi who for years has been preaching the extermination of Arab Muslims and he's OK with European Collateral as they were responsible for Holocaust How anyone can negotiate out of this deep seated hatred I don't know

It's utterly inexplicable how Israel commands such complete power over them, whilst at the same time, so many suffer as a result of those actions.

When is the last time both the Republicans and the Democrats both had even a semi credible candidate at a US Presidential election? In fact has it ever happened?

I don't understand why Bezos or Gates, or some other billionaire with more money than God hasn't stepped up to seize the presidency before now. I suppose they don't need to.

I don't understand why Bezos or Gates, or some other billionaire with more money than God hasn't stepped up to seize the presidency before now. I suppose they don't need to. You raise a very interesting point and I wouldn't yet rule it out as this Election in particular is primed for a Third-party Candidate to enter the race and surely Elon Musk would have the ego to do so. Essentially Trump ran as a Populist allegedly outside the Political System Musk has all the tools with his 170M X Followers to run an effective Campaign. Not sure who his running mate would be but if he could persuade Beyonce that would be the Dream Ticket. The last time a Third-party Candidate threatened the status quo was 1992 with Ross Perot. Many Americans sickened by the Two party System had him ahead in early Polls against Clinton and Bush. Perot wasn't really up to the cut and thrust of Electioneering he wanted a Coronation, I don't think Musk would be adverse to getting down and dirty We live in interesting times.

Thankfully I believe the megalomaniac musk is ineligible to run Due to having been born in South Africa The very same rule on this occasion Austria prevented the American people from the chance of electing arnie

It's "a little over the top" according to Joe Biden. They don't want peace.

Wrestling fans don’t even want him back in the ring at present 😂 However, yes I definitely anticipate he will run for President one day (and win) based on his excellent experience in politics 😂

Blimey, Trump could be campaigning from a prison and Biden from a care home. How the heck has it come to this. A pure lack of effort on Democrats’ part. They shuffled an unlikeable Kamala Harris in as VP, a role that can often hurt a political career as much as help it. Then, they don’t bother promoting from within. They have a couple of younger moderates in their ranks but instead of having a long-term plan for the future of their party, they’ve idly sat by and let Trump fail his way to a possible victory. The Fed will decide this election. If inflation drops and the economy continues to improve, Biden may just scrape by. It’s negligent and similar issues came up in SCOTUS. For as phenomenal a women that RBG was, her lack of awareness and stubborn desire to stay relevant in court helped contribute to an inevitable Republican majority that overturned Roe vs Wade. Also, no one in the Senate can match McConnell. He’s just better at politics than all of them. Lastly, MSM. Ask most people who are right wing and they will say that they care about immigration. The House apparently does because they tried to impeach Mayorkas for allowing too many Mexicans in. On the same day, the Speaker of the House (Johnson) decided to quash a bipartisan Senate bill that would create stricter enforcements of the border (the strictest bill in about 20 years). Was it on Fox? Was it boot. They ran some story about a good looking woman burning books from a public library that mentioned homosexuality instead. People getting bipartisan deals over the line is what the US needs. Its how Biden won. It would have been a great deal and reputation boost for younger politicians on both sides of the aisle.

Scenes From a distance it seems incongruous that the Office of the Most Powerful Man in the World is being contested by two Octogenarians with very specific impediments.to hold that Office It would be foolish to ridicule either, but one appears to have a problem with Cognitive Fuction while the other is facing a succession of Federal and State Felony Charges The latter is a slight favourite to win the Election but is facing very precarious criminal Charges. In any event whoever emerges as the Victor will shape the World Order for the next four years. Personally but with some trepidation I favour the incumbent to win. The current Colorado Case, brought by Republicans against Trump is doomed to failure. The Supreme Court is never going to uphold a State enacting an effective injunction in a Federal Matter, a Presidential Election It will be interesting which case against Trump proceeds next. The three Federal Cases seem to be stymied by legal argument while the Stormy New York case appears ready to go. Being speculative, if for instance the NY Felony Case did proceed next which carries a penalty of up to four years and is not pardonable by a POTUS what would be the reaction of Trumps MAGA Supporters Has the US become ungovernable as a Democracy?

The timing of the ICJ Report swiftly followed by the UNRWA Dodgy Dossier was obvious Osborne offers no reason why US UK Australia Germany France and others reacted with unseemly haste to cut off funding to UNRWA There are notable honourable exceptions i.e. Norway Spain and Ireland there are probably others while EU is "reviewing" Its quite obvious that Geopolitical Alliances in Middle East and Indo Pacific are more important than Palestinians who are merely Collateral Damage Even if the Dodgy Dossier contains some element of truth by cutting off Aid to 6 Million Palestinians could be seen as collective punishment which is a breach of Article 33 of the Geneva Convention and it's outworkings may lead to Genocide I say 6 Million because it's not just the 2.3 Million UNRWA is supporting in Gaza but also the other Millions UNRWA is supporting in Refugee Camps in Lebanon Syria Jordan and West Bank Israel's intent is clear as it knows that whatever the outcome of Gaza War there are Millions of Palestinians outside Palestine displaced by the Nakba 1967 and 1973 Wars etc and prevented from returning to their homes. The more Israel can eliminate helps towards The Final Solution Shameful

The anti genocide labour collective should come together and make a new party under the JC. Give us all the left wing opposition we deserve. Plus it would be hilarious to see Sunak and Starmer no longer attacking eachother and focusing all their toxicity into a new party because we know they don't really fear one another. They fear the status quo being rocked.
