Wymsey Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Sorry, but genuinely still think that it's a lot of 'their word against hers' in this interesting case.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cljyn2e7l3yo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a bit coincidental if that was the case. Plus the Doctor giving evidence said he walked in on her doing nothing while stood over a premature baby that was struggling to breathe.

MPH Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July Plot twist for the democrats! some major party donors are now threatening to withhold funds unless Biden is replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 5 July Share Posted 5 July (edited) Harris is playing a blinder here. Some of her closest friends, one of whom coincidentally is one of those threatening to stop funding the dems has released a statement very recently about how she is destined to become president and she ‘ always has been’ Edited 5 July by MPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 6 July Share Posted 6 July (edited) very intresting vote going on in Iran right now. The hardliner Saheed Jalili slightly won the first round of voting mostly, in my opinion due to a low turnout from reformist voters. However the vote was close enough that it’s galvanized more people to come out and vote in the second round of voting in which the more moderate Masoud Pezeshkian is projected to be slightly in the lead. Pezeshkian favors better co-operation with the west and is not an Isolationist. He is more In favor of compromise with regards to their nuclear program. it could be great for Iran if Pezeshkian got elected!

How much control and influence will he actually have though? surely the hardliners can fiddle the voting if they were concerned he would make much of a difference? mind you, the progress that will soon be more widely reported in Gaza/israel ceasefire negs will no doubt be linked to his election as President.

I can’t see him having much say over regional foreign policy though - unless he can convince the ‘men in dark thobes’ it’s in their interest to stop meddling via proxies - very unlikely Edited 6 July by st albans fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden's candidacy, with the Democratic convention in August? what is interesting with regards to Iran is that even the Ayatollah has acknowledged that the people are unhappy right now with the regime. That is absolutely unheard of for him to comment on such things. It does hint, along with the new president, to a softer approach The American election is the biggy of course. I feel sorry for Biden. People can always offer positives and negatives for each individual policy and can argue for or against wether he’s been a good president, but to be judged on his cognitive decline.. I mean, that’s not really his fault, is it? And I hate that this is becoming his legacy and not his ‘ performance’ . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is Biden’s fault, through his arrogance to run for that 2nd term and equally The Democratic Party for their acquiescence. It reminds me of 1980’s Soviet Russia, when three aged presidents dropped dead in office within three years( they were all younger than Biden btw). They looked a bit like waxwork dummies and Biden is starting to resemble one! The Democrats should have had a succession plan worked out and Biden could have nominated his successor be that Harris, or someone else. Too dangerous to placate an old man’s vanity, by not giving themselves the best chance to beat Trump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to acknowledge or even see your own personal decline and personally I lay all the blame at the Democratic Party’s feet. How on earth they can stand by and not intervene is beyond me. theres still time though!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
