It was REALLY bad, wasn't it?? Absolutely NO pandemic precautions. No distancing, no masks.......... just carrying on as if there is no pandemic. His degrading Biden was the main theme. Yet he offered no real plans to deal with all the hot situations going on in the US currently. But He was loving every second of being center of attention. He would still be out there if he could get away with it. Between the pandemic, the gun (Police) violence, the racism, and the current emotional state. & devastated economy........the US is virtually boiling over.........and all that matters to him is HIM....

And I have begun to think that the US voter is not voting for what is best for the nation (everyone).........but what fits their personal ideology. Hate to say this......but personally,I don't have much confidence in them .....But their system is also a problem too. Some don't care enough to vote.


It seems that way doesn't it. When the wife and I made our numerous trips to the U.S. 20 - 30 years ago, we encountered mostly kind, generous and helpful people. Quite honestly we never had a bad experience with an American.

What, never got shot at by a 17-year-old kid with military hardware for being a "socialist" Canadian?

You missed all the fun!

We used to travel there a lot too. For the most part the same experiences as you describe. Although we were robbed once. ( our room was broken into) Another time , we saw a body in the middle of the street........and the cops were coming. We did not hang around.;-) I still LOVE San Francisco.

We even had a USA post office box in Blaine for quite a while.Saw some strange stuff in New Orleans........

Have no plans or desire to go back ........as t has radically changed. There is so much to see and enjoy in my province.BBC ;-) Beautiful British Columbia

Professor doubles down on prediction model of Trump's chances in 2020
Stony Brook professor Helmut Norpoth says Trump has a 91% chance of winning in November

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pr...cent-chance-of-winning-election-despite-polls

This guy has a good track record.
Those kind of predictions are a dime a dozen. Tarot Cards anyone..??

BUT......I would not be surprised to see DT win. ( whether it will be legit is another story. Trump is not concerned about HOW he wins......just that he does. He could care less if he can actually handle the job........it is the status and power he is after. HE has never asked: what can HE do for the country ...but he loves entertaining high level leaders ....particularly if they stroke his ego.

He's already called for continuation in office past 2025. Laying the groundwork.

Traditionally, the next step would be to burn the Reichstag. . . um. . . Capitol.

My goodness. He is setting himself up for leader for life.........and the R party is passively going along with it.

That is frightening. T Bones.

Gez /WHAT constitution?? What protocols ?? what traditions?? Maybe he will rename the country Trump when he has absolute power.

Most fun I had down there was in Reno when I got stopped at gun point by a cop as I was walking to the casino at 8 in the morning. A good thing just then his partner showed up and says let him go that's not him. "Oh, sorry you resemble a guy who was breaking into cars during the night" Loads of fun!

I'm glad you got through it, and REALLY glad his smarter, saner partner showed up.

I know it's pretty late to be saying, but I apologize on behalf of my country. There is absolutely no reason to approach with a weapon drawn, even if you WERE the guy.

No problem ;-) Yes. Nevada is fun to visit. Saw a number of good entertainers there. I like South Tahoe too.( Saw Frank Sinatra and John Denver (together ) there. Great show. But I am digressing. Maybe we should start a thread on Our experiences travelling in the USA.;-)

reality can be very distressing. I agree. But IMHO.....we cannot ignore this lunatic either........as until he is gone.......he is dangerous and we need to be alert to his actions and words and intentions. He is acting out he prejudices by selectively ignoring the Pandemic, the Police violence......... while condemning Biden and Blmaing democrats for any violence taking place.He is the perfect example of what can happen when the wrong personalty is granted too much power. We have seen this happen through history......and the disastrous results that ensued. As TBones says.... Trump is planing beyond this coming election......and the US is hardly recognizable NOW...

Even if he loses..... there will be legal action from him.. he won't accept the results. and he will continue his role as a disrupt er one way or another.

No but he is starting a civil war. Win or lose this election, there will be much blood in the streets and all of it on his hands. He has divided the country like none before.
