So as the title suggests, the US election is over and the votes have been cast.

72,652,827 votes cast 50.8% of the vote went to Trump

This from a man who has been found guilty of 34 counts of felony charges of falsified business accounts
(ie) fraud
Been found guilty of sexual abuse (abet only in a civil court) however compensation will have to be paid in millions to the woman concerned.
During his first term in office he was found have made (fact checkers documented) 30,573 false or misleading claims anywhere between 6 to 21 per day depending on where you read.

Can someone over the pond explain to me why this man was even allowed to stand and run as President

Hithe other day I was bored my Good Lady had decided to go clothes shopping and as I am a hindrance rather than a help (her words) decided to go on her own and I was left to my own devices at home. So at a loose end I thought I’d watch some TV and as I have satellite TV I have about 200 odd channels of shit to choose from, so I was bouncing around the channels and came to the religious ones and started looking at them for a laugh. Now if you’re that way inclined and have a faith this is not a poke at you but I started to watch a channel called Loveworld UK which is a US channel as Loveworld USA cloned for UK consumption. It has a guy preaching called Pastor Chris and at the time he was going on about Revelations and bible prophecy and was banging on about the “Woman in Purple” in revelation scripture. Now I had no idea what he was on about so I had a look on my tablet to see what he was on about and they started showing pictures of Kamala Harris dressed in purple clothes and how she was this person quoted in revelations, now this Pastor Chris was very sure that she was this nasty entity and if you look at the actual description in scripture she is not a very nice person. So it leaves me with this questions How can the get away with this shit without getting their arse sued off them. ?Is it because she is a politician she’s fair game for any shit they want to throw at her.? If anyone reads the scripture the woman described is the “Woman in Purple and Scarlet”, they missed out the scarlet part so quoting scripture incorrectly to suit their end game. How big or wide is their fan base and will their congregation vote according to what Paster Chris says I’m assuming he’s not a democrat It was a very strange thing to watch.

 Well that is that is that the UK has spoken and we have swapped the Blue Tories for the Red Tories, God how dreary, a huge majority and not an original idea between the lot of them. I really despair about politics these days the country was desperate to get rid of Rishi and the crew labour knew they were getting in no matter what and where is the political inspiration, new ideas,cutting edge policies, Naw none of that just more of the same shit just different wrapping paper. Things can only get better sings the song Not fucking likely

Could someone explain to me why in God’s name is Donald Trump still being seen as a possible US president?. I watched some of his speech yesterday and as my title suggests was subject to listening to his Incoherent ramblings, now I know he’s famous in his speeches for going off in tangents but that yesterday was dire. Even CNN and CNBC pulled live commentary and started to discuss relevant points he was trying to bring up of which there was not many that made any sense, although I loved the comment from a CNN reporter who made the point that Trump said If they can do it to me they can do it to anyone, yes she said they will do it to anyone if the rap-sheet was as bad as his, that made me LOL. Also can anyone tell me why in a country with approx 290 million adults that Trump and Biden are the best you can come up with?, now I’m not saying UK politicians or Government Ministers are better here ( Liz Truss anyone) but there must be better candidates in the US political system somewhere.

We lost our loved Border Terrier Archie in 2019 after 15 years and at Christmas after having a dog sized hole in our life bought Brann another Border Terrier.
(If I knew how to post pictures on this site I'd show you just how cute he is) any way I digress,last sunday our 4 month puppy was playing his new game of roaring up the stairs jumping on our bed and attacking the teddy bears my wife keeps on the bed.
Well this time he missed bounced off the bed banged of the door and crashed to the floor yelping, never heard that sound from him before so I knew he'd hurt himself.
Turned out he'd fractured the growth plate and his kneecap and needed a specialist to op on him to pin his leg back together, So £4000 later he's back home feeling very sorry for himself, in his crate under bedrest and no walks for six weeks,Hell on earth for a 4 month old puppy.
Thank God for pet insurance, I dont have to sell a kidney this time.
