    That is mental stuff. Though you can't avoid the feeling it's almost a surprise it didn't happen before now.

    What would have happened if Trump had been an inch to one side and was now dead? I'm not sure America is quite as Gavrilo Princip levels, but it can't be far off

    The whole world is. They are installing metal detectors at McDonalds across London bc of knife attacks. That isn't even news anymore.

    It's insane! I'm all for people getting a fair shake in life but this is crazy! When have things gone too far? I was in Portland. It seriously looks like a third world country. I can show you photos. Its the twilight zone.

    Chicago had 100 shootings reported last weekend (and God knows how many this weekend) and the Mayor blamed Richard Nixon! Seriously!

    I know he’s leading in many of the polls but do you think this really moves the dial? I don’t think it changes blue to red. Maybe it shifts some undecideds. Maybe that’s all he needs.

    No, the whole world is not at or even close to America levels of looney. I think that's a very American thing to think

    Parts of London have big issues with knife crime which is probably a factor in what you're seeing. Parts of London does not mean the entire world

    No we've lost it for sure.

    But I mean, do you think Paris is still a nice city?

    Apologies for the late reply.

    My post was predicated on Biden remaining the Democrat nominee, which of course the debate put paid to. Now it’s all up the air again.

    I’d say Trump regrets agreeing to that debate when he did. In retrospect it seems like a set up to remove Biden.
