As expected. Zero change. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/29375520/trump-slams-joe-biden-withdrawn-presidential-race/ QED.

Nope. Yours for $299USD. Limited to only 5,000 pairs. SHOW ME YOUR MONEY!!!!!

Silly me. I said per day. It is per month as Eldon said. I'll admit I only caught a part of the piece on the tv.

I am pretty sure our news used AUD hence bigger number.

So the news tonight here has said that Elon Musk is donating $65,000,000 every day to the Trump campaign. From now until Election Day. Mind you, having seen some stuff that Musk puts on social media, he will fit right in. I know Trump has said he is going to change etc. He's a narcissist. Narcissists can't change. The only person that is correct is them. Period. And to show I am not a narcissist, I am open to being corrected.

Attempted assassination of Trump at Pennsylvania rally. Twitter has two opinions obviously. 1) attempted assassination 2) staged photo op

Well our news has just said that apparently that judge Merchan is now delaying sentencing until sometime in September if ever, while he considers the Supreme Court verdict on immunity. Why?

I was just reading bits & pieces of stuff on the internet and Trump is calling for his hush money trial to be quashed. If Judge Merchan is onto it and I have no doubt he is, was Trump the President when he paid the hush money to Ms. Daniels? No. Verdict stands. Rape case against the author. Was he the president at the time? No. Verdict stands. January 6th. At the time that he caused all the mayhem, the votes had been counted which said that Biden had won. Even if Trump had not agreed at that point, isn't he no longer the president due to popular vote? Therefore can still be tried for insurrection? Gee. I should have been a lawyer. I would have been a nice one though. 😇

Well, apparently assassination is pushing the envelope of whether it is something that can be called an official task of office. Depends on whose opinion you read. If the voting public of the USA cannot see that Trump is doing everything he can to surround himself with 'yes' men, November may be the start of a rather large upheaval. Does the USA have the ability to have a vote of 'no confidence' against a sitting president?

So based on the immunity result from the Supreme Court, Biden could now have Trump assassinated and everything should be fine? I wonder if the MAGArines have thought of that?

Based on what I just read about Project 2025, I expect that the Secret Service guys will be happy when someone assasinates Trump. That would be what I expect will happen. Surely Project 2025 falls foul of the Constitution?

There is a very interesting episode in Black Mirro on Netflix which is about a social media application that has basically taken over everyone's lives. The writer must have been like the peron that wrote The Jetsons. Well ahead of their tie, or able to see sa future that no-one else has thought of or did not know how to express. The people that own these social media platforms today seem to thin they are a law unto themselves. A very slippery slope.

exponential or existential?

I am wondering what is going on? Maybe I am not that astute and I am too trusting. We now have an egg shortage in Victoria due to bird flu which is migrating between egg farms somehow. 5 so far. The government in Australia is now beginning a campaign to get people off vapes and stop the habit completely. We have seen countries thrown into disarray by Covid. Just saw on the news that Michael Mosley has shown up dead in Greece. Russia-Ukraine. Israel-Palestine. China-Taiwan potential. The whole EV thing just seems like an absolute worldwide debacle. Incivility, as I have seen it named. Seems to be an epidemic which seems to have increased since Covid as well. I know that both my wife and myself feel more agoraphobic and enochlophobic since Covid. The USA presidential race. Trump can not be seen as a rational option whatsoever in my opinion. Even if Joe Biden is too old, he has to be a better option at this point in time. I wonder how much other stuff is going on that I do not know about and what the next thing is going to be? The world just feels more on edge than I have felt it to be in my lifetime. Or maybe it is just the speed that news can travel between places because of social media and the general media and what is then seen as the most money making stories to promote/spin? I have seen a lot of other things in my life as well. Afghanistan, Falklands etc, but I have never felt this at unease before. Maybe I'm just a worry-wart?

All the best @ChrisJ. Hope you get better soon. Good on your daughter for getting you help as soon as possible.
