Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #3360 – June 29, 2024, 01:30:45 pm Dont see the well to do morally bankrupt Governor of California Gavin Newsom who would be favourite to take Bidens spot as the peoples champ or overly appealing to the struggling masses in the USA. As much as Biden is on his last legs he does have that public appeal to many as a bloke who served his country and who has decent morals which separates him from Trump and Newsom. Quote Selected

I kicked that old, broken down pile of crap. He's quitting the race" and then said of Harris "so f****g bad" - going on to call her "pathetic".America's decision Quote Selected

But that is because the only reference being used American social media dominated by Youtube, InstaTwaddle and FacePlant channels, which spend all day raging about sovereignty and being shot dead by the police!
