Seeing as we are approaching the presidential debates, and with the actual election being only 42 days away, maybe we could keep this as a US election megathread for those on here who are interested? One location for all the discussion would prevent multiple threads clogging up the board for those who don't care to get involved?
Personally, the reality of having to experience this election in the near future is stressful AF so if anyone else wants to get stressed together... Jump on board.
Now, insert all the usual caveats about polling here but...it's looking positive that we will be rid of Trump come 2021, much to the disappointment of a couple of posters on here. 538 are well respected in the field of poll analysis so what they announce should be taken seriously.
Of course their analysis doesn't take account of any election fraud, Russian interference, voter suppression etc. But it's positive news none the less. Once Trump is gone, we can work on Johnson. Decent people of the world... Unite!

Quite. But nobody is seriously saying that this is a "To Catch a Predator" style bust. That's not really the point at all.
The point is to see how easily a top government advisor with direct communication lines to the President gets put in a massively compromising situation with a foreign national, which on this occasion was for Borat style shïts and giggles but could on another occasion have much more dire consequences.
It really just underlines the fact that we have grotesque idiots running the show and putting us all in danger.

Indeed, this was at the height of Russian interference too

Giuliani previously disclosed his run-in with Borat over the summer, but he failed to mention the part about him seducing an underage girl: "I thought about all the people he previously fooled and I felt good about myself because he didn't get me." https://t.co/DUKhkPa9uVpic.twitter.com/lIs5xg3Th2
Ha ha that's a classic 'I was up on a ladder when I fell off and the hoover somehow went up my bum!' type excuse if ever I've heard one!

“Can you imagine if I had had a a secret Chinese back account? You think Fox News would have been a little concerned about that? They would have called me Beijing Barry!â€@BarackObama throws some shade at @realDonaldTrump.

He's been tearing it up in Philly today. Absolutely giving Trump both barrels. On the economy "Just like everything else he's inherited he messed it up!". Ouch.
Just goes to show the importance of having good surrogates to do your bidding when it's time to get a little dirty.
Even Scarlett Johansson emailed me the other day saying she wanted to call me to 'discuss my election experiences'.
I'm sure that was a typo.

Watching Obama speaking at the Biden rally shows such a stark contrast between the incumbent president and his predecessor. The US has gone from the greatest political orator of the 21st century to "I'm going to cut taxes bigly"

That guy should run for president...

Yeah I'm watching now. He wasn't perfect. Aspects of his legacy are open to serious criticism. But by God I miss having a President like this.
I would have loved to have seen where the States would be now of the GOP hadn't been in control of the senate and sabotaged what he was trying to achieve every single day for eight years.
I just miss having a thoughtful, intelligent, dignified, serious but human person in charge. I don't expect to always agree with them, but I do expect to be able to trust them.

I've just finished watching the C4 series on Trump, the last episode featured Obama becoming President and the Trump doing what he usually does and questioning Obama's nationality: "Is he an American? Was he actually born here? I don't know - you tell me!" - that kind of thing.
Eventually, I think it was the state of Hawaii that released Obamas birth certificate, just to shut people like Trump up. Not long afterwards, the was some kind of awards presentation/celebration at the WH, packed with hundreds of people, including Donald. Obama ripped him a new one, just took the p1ss out of him whilst he sat in the audience with a fixed smile on his face...revenge is sweet.
However, one of Trumps aides at the time then went on to say that that was the moment Trump decided to run in 2016 - he probably would have anyway, but clearly his ego forced his hand.
His "full, flowing and magnificently brilliant answers"?! Who talks like that!?
With his ego, and his crimes, I wonder what the odds would be on him taking the Adolf exit if he loses in a couple of weeks...
I will soon be giving a first in television history full, unedited preview of the vicious attempted “takeout†interview of me by Lesley Stahl of @60Minutes. Watch her constant interruptions & anger. Compare my full, flowing and “magnificently brilliant†answers to their “Q’sâ€. https://t.co/L3szccGamP

It's possible I suppose , but I don't think he has the balls to do it. More likely to seek refuge in some country without scruples who will accept him. For sure he has stashed a shedload of money somewhere where the IRS can't reach him.

I am not sure he would top himself. He has already laid the groundwork by claiming postal votes are being misused - and will happily trot out how he was 'stabbed in the back' etc
It is not being thrown out of the White House that will concern him most, but being thrown into the nick, as there is every thought that the courts will take him into custody as with Ghislaine Maxwell, pending a full trial.

He's going to move to Scotland. I'm convinced he'll be allowed to just walk away to help America heal and him moving to Scotland would probably suit Biden and co just fine. Maybe they'll use the threat to get him to call his supporters off before he leaves.

Surely he wouldn't risk moving anywhere that the US has an extradition treaty with? Biden csnt pardon him did state crimes even if he's mad enough to pardon him at a federal level.
I'm thinking Russia or Saudi if he legs it.
The question is, would US intelligence allow a former President (with all that he knows) to defect to an enemy country? Maybe Trump would have an accident.

What with his business interests in China, surely they would welcome him with open arms.

He's too far into corruption, fraud and much else to be allowed to simply walk away
Letting him off would allow him to become, the 'prince over the water'
A focal point for fellow nutters to rally round
That was why in post war Germany those executed were given an anonymous grave, It was why local folk were taken to the death camps so they could not claim in future that it didn't happen. Much as was film shown to all captured German soldiers in allied hands.
The running sore that is Trump and his kind will need to be dealt with by an open and thorough investigation, and trial where necessary.

Does he know anything? I doubt he's even listening half the time.
Could defect to Russia and tell them all sorts of things about the US having flying saucers or spaceships on Mars or whatever.
In fact, probably best to start telling him that now just in case he manages to scarper.

Probably not to he honest. It would be quite the feather in Russia's hat though, to be able to parade a former US president around like a prize micropig next to Putin.
