The Many Faces of US Politics...

I dunno MS. There's something inherently wrong about skin colour being taken into account when applying for universities. I think its weird that anyone would want this in 2023.

It was taken into account the other way for hundreds of years before the 70s.

But it's a difficult issue for sure. Especially for Asian American students.

Perhaps they'll figure out some other way to give kids from poor and troubled backgrounds and locales a chance.

As I read someone commenting, when you start to regularly get black and Latino legacy students rolling up to Harvard, you'll know that things have progressed.

 Another scandalous made up indictment for 45

[Eamonnca1]

How many indictments are we up to now?

[Orior]

How many indictments are we up to now?

Does not appear to be doing him any harm in the race for the Republican nomination.

[AustinPowers]

How many indictments are we up to now?

As many as it will  take to stop him  running for  the Presidency

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Nothing he's currently indicted of would prevent him, even if found guilty, from running for president.

[armaghniac]

He'll not be a great President in the clink.

[Jell 0 Biafra]

He wasn't when he was free either.

[Captain Scarlet]

Isn't it insane that the Republicans in competition with him are terrified to really go at him.
Like usually an opponent jumps on anything but not the way it is over there.

I see the irony of me posting here when I'm also going to say there are too many in Irish media all over every Trump story while the HSE, housing and more are in bits...

[RedHand88]

He's going to end up winning a second term isn't he.

[Captain Scarlet]

Sure if he does, that's what they want.
I hate this: 'This is not what my country is about' bollox from the USA. The hoor got millions of votes when he lost too.

[imtommygunn]

He's going to end up winning a second term isn't he.

I'd say so.

[Milltown Row2]

He's going to end up winning a second term isn't he.

I'd say so.

So there was a Republican commentator on the radio the other day giving up his two cents worth.

Basically he said that the Democrats want Trump to be the nomination rather than the other guy, as they feel that Trump will not win over the ones who are sitting on the fence, whereas the other candidate has a better opportunity to bring them back on the Republican side!

Its a gamble but sounds legit!

The betting markets have consistently had Biden as the favourite all year. Trump closed the gap a little in June but Biden's numbers are on their way back up again, probably because of the strong economy. This RFK Junior character is going after the tinfoil hat vote on the left, but that sort of thing is more lucrative on the right where Trump is still the hot favourite for the GOP nomination.

Odds still very close. Biden only marginally ahead, but at around 6/4 or 7/4 he's still well odds against. Trump at mainly 2/1 just slightly longer.
Biden a poor candidate and Trump even worse. If either party had a very competent front runner, they'd be odds on.
