I hope Ramaswamy or Scott wins the nomination, just to piss off the white supremacists, but I hope a Democrat wins the election.

I like the way they have to explain that WW2 ended in 1945 just in case some people don't understand.

That 'What if one of them dies?' isn't the most bizarre hypothetical  discussed in this article underlines the weird and whacky world of the Presidential election.

I can't help but pick out the quote below and wish that it didn't apply to what Labour has done under Starmer but it does.

'Nikki Haley says TikTok makes people ‘17% more antisemitic, more pro-Hamas’'

I fear this presidential election may be 84.3% more batshit crazy than the last one, the all time record breaker.
