Does anybody know how to run an election over there? Can't someone show them how it's supposed to be done? I mean, I know they're a relatively new country and all that, but you'd think by now...

There's a certain amount of "Our Democracy" about it. According to Tucker Carlson 10 out of the last 13 dragged out vote counting fiascos were for Democrat strong holds and of the 3 Republican wins they were knife edge stuff. Partisan opinion though so I'd take it with a bag of salt, do your own research etc.

This FTX collapse...

The fall of the FTX ‘King of Crypto’ Sam Bankman-Fried

Given all the money went to the Democrat election campaign along with a load of donations meant for Ukraine can you say the recent elections were "stolen" if they were paid for with stolen crypto?

I can't believe he's not getting called out across the country for this - absolutely sickening. Talk about cheapening the death of a police officer.

https://nypost.com/2023/01/06/biden-blames-sick-insurrectionists-for-murder-of-cop-by-nation-of-islam-radical/

TL;DR - Biden blames the death of a police officer on 'sick insurrectionists'. Why? Well, he died 3 months after the Capitol 'insurrection' after being attacked by a Black Nationalist. But it was outside the Capitol, and the only reason he was there was because of all these bloody sick insurrectionists.

Cheap-shot or what.

Huh? So if we hadn't had to put on extra security he wouldn't have been there and wouldn't have come to harm from unrelated assailants?

Stretch Armstrong must be worth a fortune these days!

Im up late so watching the state of the union address. Biden sounding pretty good.

I suspect China would be quite happy with a war, just not right now, maybe 2040. Their military's too weak relative to the US and allies at the moment.

Fingers crossed the CCP prioritises easy targets like the west coast of the USA for their nukes

A hit piece from Don't Walk, Run!

tl;dr Joe Biden is a liar and a hypocrite. I know, you're shocked, right?

The interesting nugget though is how some Medicare and Social Security programs* will run out of money probably within the next decade. "I bet no one's talking about this..."

CNN: Medicare and Social Security insolvency is right around the corner

When even CNN are talking about something there really is a problem

*State pensions and subsidised healthcare for pensioners.

All government pension contributions (including NI from the start of the scheme) have just gone into the general pot and are paid out of general taxation. Why specifically do you think this is a problem now?

In news that will shock nobody:

How America took out the Nord Stream Pipeline

Everyone thought it was a gaff when Biden let slip they'd destroy it but it turns out that was a tactical move to avoid Congressional oversight.

At the end of the day you have to ask 'what did the us have to gain by blowing it up?'

Absolutely nothing. Nord 2 didn't get final approval and was never used. Nord 1 was shut down for the foreseeable future.

I agree government pensions would be a ponzi scheme but it's government. Thats how governments have worked for all funding and expediture since the year dot.

My question, though, is 'what has suddenly made it a problem'?
