Sure, but it always seem to directed at Trump, even though the Biden/Harris are hardly popular.

For very obvious reasons, although somehow I doubt they will be recognised here let alone accepted.

Trump has gone out of his way to be controversial, divisive and often insulting. He lies constantly and has tried to overturn democracy. It’s hardly surprising that he provokes strong reactions from some people.

Biden and Harris may well not be popular with many but they don’t engender the type of hatred that Trump does.

You need to get Telegram if you want to access past the mainstream media's filter (which is why they want to kill it). This is an example, as here you can see this guy's motivations for what he attempted as clear as day.

Here he is in 2022 having rucked up in Ukraine explaining his worldview.....essentially a globalist who wanted to be part of recruiting international legions for Ukraine.

His 'good' v 'evil' analysis is possibly part of the reason he thought he needed to murder Trump as this is the constant implied message of so much western media.

Thank you Teddy

Corruption should be called out wherever it occurs. You can’t ignore it because it’s tagged to ‘your guy’

I’m sure a prosecution of Biden is pending but surprise surprise he will play the mental incapacity card to wriggle off the hook. I called this is what would happen a year ago. Just watch.

I watched both episodes of the Channel 4 documentary “Trump’s Heist” yesterday evening. This recounts Trump’s, and his closest advisers, behaviour in the run up to the 2020 election and afterwards, including the Jan 6th rioting.

Whilst familiar territory to avid followers of US politics like me the depth of the investigation is very revealing. The interviews with the Attorney General, Bill Barr and with the Governors and election officials in Arizona and Georgia particularly so. They are all Republicans who wanted Trump to win, but because they knew he hadn’t did their constitutional duty and refused to bow to the pressure put on them to falsify the results.

I have no idea if this, or a version of it, is being aired in the USA, but it really ought to be. It is compelling viewing. It can be found on catch up TV or here:-


Do invest some time and watch it. That anyone still thinks that the 2020 election was “stolen” is amazing of itself but the words of these Republicans ought to put such thoughts in the bin and raise very serious concerns about any possibility of Trump winning this time.
 
If anyone wants to know what people mean by the 'deep state' and how and why American foreign policy still remains the same independent of whether it's a Republican or Democrat administration then watch this excellent talk even by amongst others John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs.

Very revealing.

I'm 30 minutes into this but have to go out.

Knowledgable Americans talking sense, answering the question, respecting other opinions not shouting or screaming over the top of the other person. C'mon Stirling who are you kidding this is clearly a fake video 😀

Seriously it is so refreshing to listen to people who know their subject not evading or disrespecting the other person just giving the benefit of their opinion. A must watch.

Of course the USA, along with every major western country, maintains a consistent, coordinated approach on foreign policy that transcends individual administrations.

How else do we ensure stability and common purpose? The last thing we need is to flip flop from one approach to another. That would open the door even wider to the Chinese and Russians and ultimately threaten our very existence.

If that’s the “deep state”, then thank goodness for it. The idea that someone like Trump steamrolling it flat would improve things is both comical and seriously concerning.

Thank goodness it looks as though my predictions will prove correct.
 
I came across this very interesting recent interview with James Comey, the former head of the FBI, who was dismissed by Trump after he refused to be bullied by him. It was conducted by Times Radio so I doubt will get much airtime in the USA.

Although starting by promoting the children’s books he has written it quickly gets on to current politics. Comey comes over as hugely intelligent, very well informed and completely honest. Not being a politician allows that.

When asked whether Trump will again claim the election was stolen if he loses he said he would do that even if every vote, including Melania’s, was cast for Harris.

Although exclusively directed at US politics some of his analysis on why voters continue to support people they know to be corrupt, unsuitable, or even dangerous, because not to do so requires them to admit their own frailties, has resonance here too.

It’s well worth watching.

Here’s another, from a retired military man.

What’s interesting is that these come from Times Radio, part of the Murdoch empire.

Does this mean that Fox News, traditionally the loyalist of the Trump supporting media and also owned by Murdoch, could be about to dump him and endorse Harris?

I predicted a bombshell moment in the weeks running up to the election. Could that be it?

 
Both clips you posted are really interesting and revealing; step by step it seems to me that Harris is inching ahead albeit the swing states are still so close.
Re Murdoch, that certainly would be significant if it happened. Perhaps the issue is who is now really in control of the empire and Fox - is it still the father who is calling the shots or some of his more liberal children?
