Hiding from who?  The CIA wouldn't care.

The CIA probably wouldn't find you either but you couldn't sit on a bar stool at the harbour lights club in Barbados too safely.

I see poc Roger Stone has been sentenced to 40 months in clink. Looks like Trump will reward him with an immediate pardon.

The traditional dizvision between the Executive and the Judicial system in the USA is disappearing.Trump seemingly believes he is the Chief Law Officer.

Meanwhile I reckon he is almost a certainty to be re-elected. The Democrats are all over the shop and will likely run one of three old blokes - Biden, Bloomberg or Sanders. Warren seems the best candidate to me but she is unlikely to have a chance of the nomination.

Obviously Trump will do anything to stay in and his fans support him irrespective of what he does. He will be worried about the end of his next four year term when he becomes exposed when no longer "Chief Law Officer" and will want to install his daughter.

Decent post, h. Agree 100%.

I reckon he’ll pardon Stone after the election. If he does it now, no one who wouldn’t have voted for him will do it as a result but some who might still believe the “Drain the Swamp” shtick might not.

Yup.

Bloomberg certainly didn't cover himself in glory in his first Democrat Presidential candidate debate.

He was made to look like a misogynistic, arrogant, rich boob by the other Democrat hopefuls, which I guess accurately describes him. Elizabeth Warren tore him a new arsehole.

Poor man’s Farty (though richer than the incumbent). And, sadly, probably the only one with a chance of beating him...

The alt right jewish conspiracy theory wackos will have a field day if Bloomberg wins the Dems nomination, esp since Donny Drumpff comes from Aryan stock.

Warren would be my preference but she is unelectable, being both a woman and rational.

These are less than *good times*.

Will Coronavirus stuff Trump?

How is Trump's approval rating remaining intact, after his Covid-19 buffoonery?

least worst option

We'll see come November.

**Bump**

Another bizarre election in the offing.

Biden leaves me totally cold but I guess he is seen as safer hands than Trump.

The Cv-19 has been unmitigated disaster for millions in the States. Trump is a figure of fun lampooned by most countries, though he is not fun. His erratic response to the knee on the throat death lost any middle ground. His attacks on the justice system and lack of interest in separation of powers is mind boggling.

The Bolton revelations have sunk his claims on being tough on China.

His great fear is a loss may see umpteen criminal charges pressed against him. Even with his determined electoral roll rigging he is up against the wall. His base will be encouraged by him and other crazies to NOT accept a loss. What this means is anyone's guess.

If the Republicans also lose control of the Senate they will drop him like a hot potato.

Overnight Trump retweeted a vid from some Floridians, one of whom was intoning "white power".

Of course the good ole boy was only stating the obvious truth about the USA (and Oz fwiw). 'Cept he was saying it was a good thing. Trump x'd out the retweet after 4 hours but of course his message had been sent by then.

Of course whites have hegemony over the economies, cultures and the power of life or death in the USA and many other countries.

I'm still hoping that he'll catch corona virus and die before the election ... though even that might not be enough to deter his brain dead supporters from voting for him.

Aye. If that happened could you imagine the reaction of all the conspiracy theory nutjobs.

It may be harsh on our part, but I harbour the same hopes as lardy and h re: Trump and Covid.

Idiot seppos might wake up and realise that they are not immune to this plague.

ABC article: "Is Trump a fascist?"

Of course he is.

Not sure about Trump and isms. I think if BLM was a sure fire vote winner he'd be calling for the defunding of police Dept's (a stupid idea BTW) and the moment he was elected he'd defund the CR division of the Justice Dept.
Makes John Howard look honest.

Of course he is.

I eagerly await the follow-ups: 'Are fire engines red?' and 'Does a one legged duck waddle in circles?'

You were going great guns early but drifted off-course after 'Stone'.

hehehe. What I am really hoping is that 1. Trump goes and 2. Outstanding prosecutions are brought fwd against Trump, Stone etc only after he is unable to commute sentences, issue pardons etc.

Trump may eventually overtake G W Bush as a mass murderer.

FFS k! He pardoned the guy who caused the '87 crash, he's bullet proof.
