And MAGA fails to decouple aid to Israel from aid to Ukraine that are both in the border bill MAGA wants to stop. Bad day for MAGA.

What is worrying is the scenarios possible - and just ten years ago having been thought of as impossible - if Trump either gets banned by courts to candidate, or is allowed to candidate and against expectations looses the elections. Something could dangerously click in civil society then. Also worrying is the outlook of Trump wining.

Every possible scenario by now is worriyng, even a Biden win in itself and Trump in all regards taken out of the equation.


That bad it has become.

However it goes in the upcoming election the Americans are heading for a showdown.

It doesn't matter whether Biden or Trump should win the election. It's a choice between plaque and Cholera.

One can see the Nevada results as relevant or not (due to the special situation there), important or not, but the impression that outlasts both is this: it was not just a defeat for Haley, but a humiliation. The question is not so much if she still has a chance left. The more truthful question seems to be: did she ever had a chance in the first?



Maybe she stays in the race, hoping the courts will knock Trump out. But will the party majority then forgive her automatically? I doubt it.

Sky, remember that it was not long ago when the US delegation to NATO was led by a nasty woman who made a habit of flipping the middle digit to the rest of NATO.

THAT was Nicki Haley. There's a good reason why she looks familiar to Europe.

Putin and Xi love this crap show. Its beyond their wildest dreams that we could get THIS screwed up THIS quickly.

My imagination ran away with me....again.

We are in the near future USA is in a state of national unrest-The government isn't working, nor is the Congress or the Senate

Only a few month later following happens:

China sees it chances and invade Taiwan
Iran and some allied to them attack Israel
Russia seize the opportunity and attack the Baltic states.

The worst-kept secret in the Middle East is that Israel has nuclear warheads and the hardware to deliver them. This is why Iran needs to maintain some form of deniability.

If the democrats manage to convince people that the border is MAGA & President Trump's fault they are truly evil masters of manipulation.

What a difference party affiliation makes. Trump gets charged, Biden gets off.

Special Counsel Robert Hur will not recommend criminal charges against President Biden for mishandling classified documents, according to his report after a months-long investigation into the president's alleged improper retention of classified records.
Hur has been investigating Biden’s improper retention of classified records since last year. Those records included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, among other records related to national security and foreign policy which Hur said implicated "sensitive intelligence sources and methods."
"We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter," the report states. "We would reach the same conclusion even if the Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president."

In the meantime, you all polarise, vote for the one you deserve somebody is planning against you like Osama was planning 9/11 when the US was looking if Monica took her pants off.
