So, will this be a Biden presidency or a Harris presidency? We will have to wait and see: as Biden is a moderate and Kamala is far left.

Something I found on-line in relation to Trump's claims of fraudulent voting:

The DHS is the agency tasked with the integrity of the US system of voting. This is from the CISA explaining the variety of measures, including watermarks as a state choice: https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/mail-in-voting-election-integrity-safeguards_508.pdf
Harris is in no sense far left. Why did you refer to Biden by his second name, and Harris by her first?

No she isn't.

Depends on the definition of far-left - she is rated as the most liberal senator.

Kamala's healthcare proposal eventually decided to allow a role for private medical insurance, whereas Bernie Saunders' Medicare for All proposal eliminated private healthcare insurance completely I think. Kamala said she wanted to take the changes brought by Obamacare further so that the cost of insulin or arthritis medication is not a barrier for people to access healthcare, but she seemed to keep changing her mind about whether there was a role for private insurance. She also did not specify exactly how her proposal would be funded

I think Joe Byden said they would reinstate health care but certainly not try to stop private insurance; the latter being virtually impossible to do I should think.

Thanks for the link, Gabriella.

Yes, that is where I picked-up the view that Kamala Biden was far-left when Biden first introduced her as his running mate. Must admit, rather lazily, I didn't research further.

Note that they were only talking about the role of private insurance within the Medicare system, not generally.

This has had an effect on the betting for who is declared as the next President. Before it 20/1 against, he's now just 10/1

No she isn't.

I think she's considered 'Far Left' in the US, but given how far right of our centre their centre is, that's not really saying much.

Following on from the post with Trump's spiritual advisor is this masterpiece from someone called Schmoyoho on youtube. Whoever they are genius!

Well, I listened as far as when he boarded the ship, but it seems like one of those pop star drugs and riches to good life stories. What is the main point of your post, please?

Hmmm....not sure what you were listening to Susandoris.

My apologies as it is quite a visual piece and with sound only you maybe didn't get the full context.

The piece I linked to was a compilation of various Trump acolytes who had been mixed together to produce a musical track using their words or noises. I thought it was amusing. I'm not sure where you got the "pop star drugs and riches" idea from. Maybe you clicked on another video clip?

I clicked on the link in your post!! I did Ctrl+W to get back to the post and it worked. Never mind, I've just walked 10 laps up and down the Close in the rain in my waterproof gear - got back in and there was post - in it a cheque from Premium Bonds for £25!! That's a total of two x £25 since I bought the £500 worth about 25 years ago!!

He won't concede until the electoral college has voted.

One of his (many) former cronies reckons he will decamp to Mar el Lago at Christmas and simply not return.

I believe he owes Putin a lot of money. Part of me thinks that he might be trying to hang on because of what Putin might do to him otherwise.

Maybe Novichok is heading its way in Trump's direction.

When this era in world history is being taught to future generations I suspect Trump will not be shown up in a good a light.
