"Oh don't worry, he's just on vacation and/or has business there, he'll come back (after he sold other hidden US top secret information)"

"I do not believe my people have done this" (So do not try to seek justice)

Not only that, he has to, it's the only way he can postpone or cancel his impending criminal convictions.

Besides that, for the people pushing his movement it currently is the only option to seat a king and solidify a path for his family to inherit the throne.

So I fully expect a lot of trouble around the elections, from lawsuits to riots and open hostilities, and will be very surprised if it all goes fairly peacefully.

Not so secret anymore after Trump sold the information....

It's so strange, the olympics are all about excellence and striving for being the best, but swimming in polluted water is deemed ok and almost shrugged at.

Not sure what kind of morals those are, but they definitely do not belong to a truely civilized society.

I read the title, and it left me thinking it was about Ukrainian POWs returned from Russia without their organs, like I read about recently.

It seems the US does not even need such circumstances.

Utter depravity. I do not have other words for it anymore.

He's already been told he has "the votes" now and has won. So if that turns out not to be happening the closer we get to November's results, to him it will be a purely fraudulent steal.

It would be hilarious if all three showed up at the debate location (if it even happens) to show support to Harris, I think the orange man would blue screen. :-D

The result of the US elections are the tipping point either way for the whole world, and every country is awaiting what will happen.

One side drops the world in misery, from the full destruction of Ukraine and it's people, to an intense war in the EU and the Koreas.Taiwan as a country will cease to exist, as will its chip production. Not to mention the deep scarring that will take place within the US itself where it will see the Constitution torn up. America First, but as a consequence it loses power and status everywhere else for years to come.

The other possibility is that starting in 2025 the current big worldwide conflicts will be resolved semi peacefully, a slow growth to more financial prosperity and equality sets in plus a number of billionaires will need to pay some of their taxes, but international treaties and trades will be reinforced.

I am really hoping for the latter, because if the outcome is the first, we'll see a least a decade of chaos and economic downfall everywhere.

So, my choice is made, it will be better in 2025

<crosses fingers>

At this point I believe they will ignore/disavow any voting result that does not benefit them, even if it was an overwhelming result.

These things are small experimentation gardens, big corporations are looking at these setups with interest:

It reduces overhead costs on their end, no printer costs, no paper costs, less personnel-hours needed since the customer does all the work by sorting out their own menu, adding their own email adress, and inserting their order in the system.

It might lead to the next step in ordering fast food (on site), customers ordering on their own phone (email login required) and using qr codes to transfer them to the local restaurant's ordering kiosk...

Ofcourse the savings will only be on the corporate side and the actual food will just keep getting more expensive for the customers.

Now for the receipt thing, I don't know the exact rules, but a written receipt must be provided if the customer asks for one. A "pin" receipt, ie. validation of payment is not a legal item to be used for tax deduction because it does not list what you bought nor the amount of tax, not sure if both percentage and the amount must be present.

It sounds a bit like you went inside a place that was a startup by some "students" with bright new ideas that were not fully thought out yet. They easily go for the bottom line in costs saving by dropping staff costs as much as they can, probably corrects itself over some time.

Well I am not a fan, at all, far from it, Biden is too old, he was too old 4 years ago... But it has absolutely no use to choose a new candidate 4 months before the election and still expect to get a landslide win.

Because without a landslide win there is nothing against the door to stop Trump claiming victory and destroying the USA just for the benefits of his close friends and family (and keeping himself out of jail).

Heck, it will be like last time, Trump will be found mostly on the golfcourse (and billing the government for it again) and his family and henchmen will run the country for him, ignoring the law, congress and even the constitution. 4 years later Trump will have installed one of his sons permanently in the white house, without an election.

Only an overwhelmingly Democrat win will give anyone pause and realize that Trump has no right to claim anything (again).

Currently there just is no blue candidate that the whole country knows all about and can accept enough to massively vote for, and there just is no time to present and get to know one.

I would almost say make it a dual Democratic ballot in November, any votes for either of the blue candidates go to the eventual winner. But I don't think the republicans will allow that to happen.

Finding the best candidate is a ship that sailed 2 years ago if not 3... Same with prosecuting and jailing Trump before the elections deadline saving him.

Mistakes were made, the train is chugging at high speed, pulling the emergency break now, 4!!! months before the election, will not end well.

It is too late to go find another candidate that has any sort of chance to beat Trump.

Biden still has a hidden card or two, but if too much attention is laid there certain voters will lose interest for sure.

Well this sounds a bit familiar...

Next step is adding a scoring system with penalties for certain behavior and it will be quite similar to the social system that is rolling out in China...

It looks and feels like everyone is waiting out what happens in November and with it what happens in January... (There might not even be an inauguration in January, Trump might begin his day 1 dictatorship right after he claims winning the elections, and has his goons to support him)

Everybody that matters now is frozen from acting untill past the election, while imo now should be the time to intervene and not let it roll onwards, remove one of the chess pieces now and the momentum might not be unstoppable.

I've been gently pushing for the same message but at best hear people say "oh it's just politics, and we have laws against all this so it will be years before anything can truely change"

Hitler's power was solidified in a matter of months, whereby he threatened and/or had his political opposition killed. Then he came with the excuse "I don't believe my people did this"

No one dared say any of it was against the laws, he was fully above the law and shielded anyone he felt worthy of the same, ofcourse he would have them dissappear when their use ran out..

I have hope democracy prevails... But also a big feeling that the republicans have all their pawns lined up for a perfect storm this time (and half of them are still hidden), allowing them to be able to semi legally brush the election results aside. They had 6+ years to prepare...

Only a true landslide of blue votes might be able to give some of them pause, a small difference would be ignored and decided upon faster than Gore vs Bush.

Trump will declare a win regardless of the outcome.

Very pleasing how he put the girl in the background :-)
