And why the fuck are they in the Europa league? Last I checked Israel was nowhere near Europe. Aren't they Semitic and from the Middle East? At least they love to use that definition when they shout "antisemitism" at anyone who criticises them. And why are they in the European Song Contest? Anyway, no sympathy. They clearly like violence so let them have it.

Nice. I'm a wrecker of civilisation and I'm not even American and never voted in your pretend illusion of democracy. Your country is Rome before the fall. I will enjoy seeing it sink into the sea. Better learn to swim.

She was dogshit. So fucking dogshit she got beaten by a narcissist. Fuck America! They deserve the president they elected.

Damned right. It would've been hard to out-dogshit her.

I think you're being a bit over dramatic. The US is already fucked. It's Rome before the fall. If Trump gets in the inevitable decline will only happen quicker. The Democrats are wolves in sheep's clothing who merely slow this decline. A two party system controlled by the same lobbyists is only an illusion of democracy. Until the American people break out of that, there's no hope. I don't hold out much hope for America. The collapse has been on the cards for decades. A country gets the president it deserves. The US is built on greed, corruption, decadence, fraud and imperialist ideology. Everyone else in the world can see it for exactly what it is. Goodbye America. The experiment failed.

Yeah, they did that here in 2014 with peer pressure and the likes. The most ridiculous thing that occurred was "The Vow" which appeared two days before the referendum in the shittiest of shitty tabloid newspapers, promising the people of Scotland new powers, more say and the political equivalent of a goody bag. It was so cartoonish I didn't think people would fall for it, but some did, and it was enough to swing the vote. Needless to say "The Vow" never came into effect. Surprise! Surprise!

Kamala's not promising anything, let alone horeshit, so my prediction is sadly a Trump win.

Weird looking bastard, isn't he?

You vote with your heart for a party that reflects your values. Never align with what you think is the lesser of two evils. They are both still evil. This is the problem with what is essentially a two party system like they have in the US. Forget the consequences. If you don't agree with the policies of the two main parties, then vote for a third that reflects your values. Years ago, here in Scotland, the SNP were regarded as a fringe movement only for them to gain power to a point where they acquired an over-all majority under a system of Proportional Representation (a system that makes gaining an over-all majority extremely difficult). How did this happen? Over time and under the realisation that the two main parties didn't reflect people's values, they chose instead to vote with their hearts. This lead to the opportunity in a 2014 referendum to become an independent country. Sadly, the population was duped and decided to stick with the devil they knew, but the fight goes on. People in the US need to do the same. Genocide is never acceptable. It is a red line. If you vote for a third party and Trump gets in then your conscience is clear and a message has been sent. Then the fight goes on and you deal with that problem next. It's small steps, one stage at a time. Certain things have to be regarded as unacceptable. It's a case of "Non Serviam" regardless of the conditions.

Do you think it's possible to make one of those virtual personal assistants (Alexa for example) speak like Orac from Blake's 7?

I will only ever use one if I can get it to sound like Orac.

I know a guy that heats his house with those tubular heaters for greenhouses. One for each room and the place is always comfortably warm without being too expensive.
