Replying To jm25: "It's still neck and neck in betting it's like 2 drunks fighting over kebab. Kamala saying trump left worst attack on democracy since civil war on the eve of Sept 11th was pretty awful too" That's your take. All the mad stuff he said that's your only take from it?

Replying To peiledoir20: "Trump is an amadan, no getting away from it. Harris on the other hand is not but yet still supports what is going on in Gaza, which is worse. These two being the two presidential candidates just shows what an odious country America has become." The American electoral system is unique, compared to those European systems, where the party with the biggest share of votes is elected. The electoral college system in US Presidential elections means the candidate with the largest electoral popular vote, may not be elected, unless they win a majority of the electoral college. It should be changed to a system which rewards the candidate with the largest share of the popular vote. There are two main parties, no third party candidate is elected. If Joe Biden was still the Democratic candidate, Trump would win by a landslide. Kamala Harris is more likely to beat Trump, but it will be a close election. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1879 - 12/09/2024 13:39:54 2569550 Link

America has been odious for a very long time, sticking it's nose in everywhere, claiming to be the moral authority for the whole world, the list of countries they have left in a heap is shameful. Libya x 2 Haiti Iraq Vietnam Korea Freedom and democracy for all, (as long as it doesn't directly affect them negatively). dolfos (Longford) - Posts: 124 - 12/09/2024 13:47:52 2569554 Link

Or someone who pretends to be nice, is down with the kids but is every bit as odious behind it all For all the talk not a whole pile of difference between trump 4 years and Biden yet all we heard pre 2016 was what a disaster he would be. jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1255 - 12/09/2024 13:52:22 2569557 Link

You are a gas man. Can't admit fully that Trump is an absolute lunatic. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8062 - 12/09/2024 14:10:49 2569559 Link

On the other hand, they cleaned up the Balkan War in 3 weeks flat, and if the EU had facilitated their 'contribution' earlier, a substantial reduction to the estimated 100,000 casualties might have been realised.

It genuinely scares me that this is a close US Presidential race. The fact that close to half of a population of the world's largest democracy can watch Trump's performance the other night and still vote for him blows my mind. Whatever your thoughts on Harris, Trump is quite clearly unhinged. Let's be honest, if someone was talking like that to you in a pub you would be taking the keys off them. This guy has a 50:50 chance of being the most powerful man in the free world. It has to come down to the fact that social media has brainwashed people beyond repair. People simply can't believe the evidence of their own eyes anymore. Immigrants eating cats and dogs, babies aborted after birth, only accepting the election result if he wins etc. etc. Then when corrected, Trump and his supporters reckon it is a 3 on 1 debate. Sharing false videos online to try and show their man was correct with these absurd conspiracy theories. Stupidity is also a disease that can cross the Atlantic and considering the rise of far right populist candidates in this country, I genuinely fear that we could follow suit over the next few years. If so, I fear for the country my kids will grow up in. It's imperative that Trump gets beat in November and it's even more imperative that the GOP dumps Trump and his cronies and moves back to the real conservative values they have tried championing for years.

Where have I said he's not a header?? he is, along with been a felon and probley a fraudster Do you not get it ?? He's an absolute taepot but Harris who's meant to be intelligent articulate etc when it comes down to it will be not much different Maybe trump will do more to stop what happening in Gaza ??what you think of Biden Harris efforts stopping that are they not absolute lunatics for not doing more ?? Your a gas man. At least we know what he is and makes no apologies he is easier manage It's the sly ones who are nice to your face that could stab you in back you need to watch. Like I didn't find things much bad during his previous reign despite what we were told before he won the election. Actually I got to move back west and my salary improved a fair bit during his last term. I hate how you have to black white one side good one bad. Realistically how much say do him Biden have now?? it's just a figure head role no more then Michael D, who on a separate point needs to get a move on meeting teams at the aviva. jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1255 - 12/09/2024 15:19:46 2569577 Link
Replying To TheFlaker: "You are a gas man. Can't admit fully that Trump is an absolute lunatic." After what I called trump in that post you picked me out as defending him. Your a gas man see you on here on all the time speaking down to others sometimes rightly when the master was in here. I'm only going off the bookies but it's still up in the air prob 51/49 in Harris favour. It sad that such a thing could swing an election but Taylor swift ( who is a good egg in my opinion) endorsement could be a bigger factor then trump doing badly in the debate jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1255 - 12/09/2024 15:27:27 2569580 Link

In your post you basically said there is no difference in America no matter who is in charge. I wasn't speaking down to you but simply pointing out him getting re elected is very dangerous. And he will want riots in the street if not elected. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8062 - 12/09/2024 16:00:50 2569585 Link

I see one of the billionaires in America travelled to space for a second time..there is so much wrong in the world today and then I hear this..surely this individual could find some very worthwhile projects to put this money into..now before people come back I heard someone say he's involved in some charity of sorts..to me this is a complete waste of time and I know for one I'll never get there or be able to afford it..am I missing something in all this?

He (or she. . .I didn't see it) is a billionaire. The trip to space was there for anyone who could afford it to purchase. This person chose to do so. I don't see the problem. I don't appreciate people telling me what to do with my money and I'm sure you're the same. The vast majority of billionaires are massive employers and they support more livelihoods than me or you will ever be able to. What someone spends their money on, so long as it's legal (and not downright immoral which i dont think this is), is none of my business and none of yours. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5115 - 13/09/2024 01:51:47 2569648 Link

How do you know the individual doesn't pump their money into a lot of worthwhile projects also. The cost of this is probably the equivalent of a night out in a restaurant for the rest of us plebs.

Cork build 45000 stadium and probably only averages 30 to 35000 in hurling might get the odd full house. DuhallowRed (Cork) - Posts: 295 - 13/09/2024 15:10:04 2569725 Link

Replying To eslinchickenmaryland: "Funny how left wing media said Harris was clear winner of the debate isn't it and how Irish media parroted this outlook. Trump was debating not only Harris but the moderators also but he's well used to that and the American people aren't conned by such reporting, whereas some of the Irish ones seem to be." Embarrassing post. Trump got 11 extra minutes to chat. 11! Can you imagine if she had been given the extra time. He was awful. You know it. Cop on to yourself. Talking about executing babies after birth and other mad stuff. He went into the spin room after as well which he was advised not to by his staff as it almost admits defeat. Which American people are you talking about. The election won't be decided by his hardcore base. You don't seem to understand that. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8062 - 13/09/2024 15:40:36 2569731 Link
