Unlike what theyâve displayed up to this
I dont agree, Isreal are going to do whatever they want regardless of international law or the US, too much money in buying weapons
At the moment it looks like Trump is the more likely to win but I wouldnât call it, Clinton was considered a 91% shot by some people the day of the 2016 election, @Sidney however correctly said that Trump had a path and that the rust belt was vulnerable.
I wouldnât call this with any certainty over 60% and these probability websites are being gamed to create the perception of inevitability of a Trump win which is far from the case.
It can get a lot worse than it is now.
If Trump wins the concept of the post World War II western order effectively ends but one thing which will never change is US support for Israel.
This is a tipping point in history as important as any that has gone before.
Not far from inevitable but my reading of it is the gap is larger but again you cant trust polls. If trump does win the Democrats will have to look at themselves in how they picked the candidate. Biden should have been pulled last year, harris wpuld not have been the candidate and a better choice would be available to beat trump. Saying that the last 4 years were a disaster, they could have killed off maga with sensible policy instead of spending 4 years of trying to prevent him runnimg again.
No they couldnât because MAGA has nothing to do with policy or facts, it has to do with racism, propaganda and denial of reality.
I highly recommend Jason Stanleyâs book âHow Fascism Worksâ.
These things are now very popular in the US and elsewhere, as they were in the 1930s in Germany.
Exactly, and I didnât like the population density.
Do you genuinely think Galway is better now than it was?
I find it worse in many ways.
Galwayâs grand. Iâd have to have access to a time machine to properly ascertain whether itâs better than 20 or 30 years ago but my gut sense is itâs a hell of a lot better than it was 30 years ago. 35 years ago the place was a kip compared to now.
Galwayâs peak was about 2001-2003. But itâs a grand place still, there are very few better places to live in the world, if they exist at all.
The McDonalds was shut down for the day. The car going through the drive through was staged and rehearsed several times. Gas shit in fairness.
Trump is really rattled by the fact that Harris worked at McDonaldâs while he lived his youth having the life of a prince.
Sheâs street, he lived a life of gated community luxury.
Woody Guthrie had the Trumps sussed in 1950.
Sheâs not âstreet@, sheâs from a middle class background. Both her parents were professors and probably wouldnât have gone through law school and ended up where she is if she was âstreetâ. She did work in a Mickey Dâs though while she was in college for spending money.
The last true working class kid to be Prez was Clinton.
Sheâs pure street compared to Trump.
American middle class âstreetâ is different to here.
Your wan dumb cunt if you donât think whoâs elected in the states doesnât affect us here.And you call yourself a salesman.

Mate, you donât need to make shit up.
She is from a middle class well educated background. She is miles and miles from anything approaching âstreetâ.
Jesus Christ.
This absolutely isnât the case. The pubs were way better, the prom was easy quieter, there were nightclubs, no social media, and the roads were quiet.
âOther people donât matter a fuck.â

The Quays was better. Thatâs about it. Have a look at the photos of Quay Street and surrounds circa 1990. Galway was a kip then. A good sort of kip, but a kip nonetheless.
You canât blame the people of Galway for there not being nightclubs. Nowhere has nightclubs now. My recollection as a nipper is that Salthill was the big going out area up to the mid 90s but by 96/97 it was done.
The late 90s and early 2000s had the Alley and CPâs in town and then later Halo but nightclubs have been done for over a decade now. Thatâs everywhere, not just Galway.
Ah it is.
You couldnât walk down town back then. Quay street was a nothing place back then. Wouldnât agree re the pubs either. Sidney is right, it did peak in 2001 - 2004 though. Shop Street badly needs a lick of paint now.
Galway council have got to be the worst council in Ireland for public works projects. Eyre Square around 2005 was an absolute fuck up. There was no Eyre Square for about two years if I remember right. The Eyre Square of the early 2000s was better too than the current nouveau version.
The paving of Shop Street is another monumental fuck up that has lasted a quarter of a century. They paved it around 1998 I think. Very soon after, the paving stones started coming up, the glue didnât function, it reminded me of the job they did on Busaras toilets.
Now itâs tarmacadam and has been for maybe five or six years. This was apparently supposed to be temporary.
Iâm confident that one of these years, Eyre Square will be sealed off as a private crytosporidium/tarmacadam/redeveloped roundabout theme park.

Sheâs like Lisa Left Eye Lopes compared to Trump.
