Who is Joe Biggs and why should I care who Joe Biggs is?

Both sides will scream that it was rigged.

Yep and that is just one of the reasons they are making their country a laughing stock in the eyes of so many other countries.

If CrossBows weren't outlawed in 1146?
Things would be different today.

A second lawsuit, this one in Michigan, has been filed to prevent Trump from being named on election ballots per Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The first was in Florida.

Here’s the transcript of Trump’s deposition for the NY fraud case against the Trump organization coming to trial October 2nd. If this rambling nightmare is what’s in store for the March trials Trump will be ruined. Most people understand that you don't volunteer information over what is being asked, but not the mighty Trump. He's hanging himself.

Hardly the surprise revelation of the century.

Donald Trump's trial in Georgia over charges of election fraud will be livestreamed and televised, a judge has ruled.

All the hearings will be available live on Fulton County Court's YouTube channel, said Judge Scott McAfee.

A date for the trial has not yet been set, but it could be next year when Mr Trump is running for re-election.

About time somebody made the decision simply as a precaution if nothing else.

President Joe Biden has been taking the shorter stairs to get on Air Force One much more often since falling over a sandbag on stage during the US Air Force Academy graduation in June, a news photography analysis has shown.

NPR reports that Mr Biden has been eschewing the 18-foot staircase, which may at times be unstable, traditionally used when getting on and off Air Force One.

Instead of exiting and entering via the upper door, Mr Biden has been using the staircase that folds out from the lower level rather than the separate stairs wheeled up to the plane at airports and bases. Using the lower, foldable stairs means that most of Mr Biden’s journey up to the main floor of the aircraft takes place inside, away from the view of the cameras.

The 80-year-old commander-in-chief has stumbled on the stairs on more than one occasion, with the White House brushing aside questions on the issue as Mr Biden’s age is one of the main worries on the minds of voters as he runs for re-election.

No need to think along extremes all the time, there’s a ton of good things I can say about my country. However the current political climate and circus drama is about the only thing not on that list.


I also realize European nations like the U.K. and Germany have the exact same circus as we do. The only difference is, that unlike European media, your political boondoggles are not in our news cycle because honestly nobody over here really gives a ratsass about your political drama. Let’s face it, if Europe was so perfect the shining beacon on the hill. The U.S. wouldn’t have to place its time, effort and money to quell ANOTHER European war.
