The United States(!) of A
Thanks H2O
I had read about this guy and his methodology .
As we have seen with Trump , the polls are unreliable .
During his first Run , many people were scared 2 say they liked Trump .
After the assassination attempt , that may have changed , a smidgeon .
Trump always seems to Poll badly , except at the ballot box .
Trump is much closer to Harris , than he was to Clinton or Biden in the Polls , at the same time .
That's interesting , a smidgeon :) !
Hey Jules
I still need coffee 2 " Start Me Up " .
Stopped alcohol consumption , 4 years ago .
@ pop down
Just been trying some different teas
Camellia sinensis
Amazing how seriously the Asians take there tea , lots of different varieties, preparations ,picking times
Different tastes effects
Lot better , and more expensive than the average Woolies dust
The Poms 2 Jules .
King Charles seems addicted to the sinensis ? of a Camellia .
Gave up a Dianna herb , that looked picked at the right time 2 me , 4 a different variety ( Woolies Dust ) , that must have tasted better , 2 Charles .
Amazing how people have different tastes and how different tastes affect different people , differently .
@ popdown
I get it, you’re making a pun on the camellia
Hoho or is it ha ha
Melania Trump is now promoting her Memoire .
Just saw a 36 sec video , of her giving the book a promo and mentions Free Speech .
She HITS the number one Election issue , "right off the bat" , in less than a minute .
Another Pop prediction but its an easy 1 .
The Book will be a " Best Seller " , unlike "Harry does Megan" !
Guessing most of U on SN think , the Big M , is a twit , having a Dick( tator ) like Trump , as a Long Term husband .
For whatever reason , probably safety , Melania doesn't seem 2 like Standing , close to Trump .
She doesn't like holding his hand in public , so she is NOT putting on a Show , 4 anyone !
As she has kept SUCH a low profile ( only 2 fundraisers 4 the LBQT+ Republicans recently ) , guessing MOST America , don't know her that well , either .
That's the reason why , she wanted to write the book ( it's not confirmed if it was. co-authored ) , correct the record with her version , of the truth .
The Guy's and Jules of the world , won't B interested in What Melania has 2 say .
I have already called it a best seller , with re runs galore and no discounting haha .
Guys like Adam 12 , where is he ? , have said Melania doesn't " Stand By Her Man " .
Well , writing and releasing a book about her life with Trump , 4 release BEFORE the Election , looks like Standing Right next 2 Trump , 2 Me .
She is a Trump and looks more formidable , than her husband imho .
I really like " the girl " !
The book is simple called Melania , simple black letters on a White book .
It could also be Titled " Terminate Harris and the Swamp she lives in " , but a bit long .
Odds update
Trump: 51.5
Harris: 47.0
https://www.realclearpolling.com/betting-odds/2024/president
Highest Trump odds have been since Harris entered the race.
The debate will be the big decider in where things go though.
Just ignore this
I think this is a good example of Darwin’s theory of Evolution ,
If the foolish Trumpeters lie loud and long enough for a Trump victory
Then the human race will be under threat!

Juliang. Hi mate. What you write or think , is nothing like Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, or the scenario that you think may come to fruition.
Firstly, what do know about the theory and how could it have anything to do with your topic.
With all due respect. What crap you write, I’m sorry , but that’s just garbage.
How could you insert that wonderful theoretical and practical work of Sir Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin into such a corny shitfight.
I’ve heard it all now. What a joke !!!. Gabberflasted.
Next thing you’ll tell me is there is tripedal humans or quadrupedal birds.
Those late nights are destroying your synaptic connections. AW

Any sensible person would ignore it, because its nothing more than rumours and speculation.
@ AW
Well if we’re not smart enough to see an incoherent , dangerous , geriatric , egomaniac,
Freind of Putin , Kim Jong un , Orban
With his finger on the button
Then maybe there’s a better description
Funny how an opinion on this theory raises a lot more concern than what’s really planned for over there
And I like the way you politely disagree
Instead of going into a tirade of rah rah rah
Insults
That’s comments for you
Going from a villain to a top
bloke , back to a villain, in the space of a couple of comments
But right your used to this, insulting/praising
roller coaster
Which has probably done your head in

Juliang. Hi mate.
We haven’t met properly. Welcome.
We are a bunch of opinionated folk on Swellnet, that’s right, it’s all opinions. And we surf.
Myself and others are and can be shit stirrers, converse to that , most of us are decent downhearted people.
On these forums you will slap and get slapped, it’s just the territory, nastiness will always be called out or the hammer of @Stu will send you to the sin bin or one of the moons of Jupiter , (I’d prefer Ganymede because it’s one planetary body that’s got an ice cap 100km thick with an underlying ocean and it’s believed, freshwater), see , we rant and rave and crap on.
But you know what, Swellnet is an outlet, socially, verbally and mentally , it takes you away from mundane or regular life and plonks you in a maelstrom of wonderful discussion, debate, controversy, learning and then back to totally serene
moments in your own life.
It’s an outlet. Why are you on here ? The very same reason we are all on here.
Play along, it’s nothing malicious, we support others when they are down and we all gather around when someone is hurting.
All of this is said without prejudice or malice.
I hope you enjoy yourself.
Forgot to tell you, I throw barbs, it gets a response, just like you 10 mins ago, it gets folk, talking, typing , researching, keyboard punching. I’m more the wiser and a better person from being involved with all of these quality characters, you included.AW
;)

JellyFlater. Hi mate. Hope ya digging it
That’s so good.
Your own or others ?. I’m hoping it’s yours, AW
Edit. Remiss of me, true, Galilean Moons
Although point 3 puts some checks and balances on point 2
@aw
All of those quality characters I included?
I don’t like to generalise, everyone is different
Some commentators don’t go off at all
Some don’t mind telling you they disagree
but don’t take it personally
And some think you’re a completely
blithering idiot
That’s why I don’t like to generalise
Debate is Wed 11:00 AEST The debate between Harris and Trump will be held at the National Constitutional Centre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The US ABC network will host the event.

Hey. I despise Trump also. But none of it interests me at all.
I respect yours and Indos views, I’ve learnt not to smash in and corrupt other’s interest just because I don’t agree(thanks Indo). AW

with all due respect, AW, here's two pretty stand up blokes, who present a different perspective.
Don’t know about Rolf being a stand up bloke, as it turned out.

If i ever start an ambient/punk band (unfortunately, unlikely), i'm gonna call it The Quadrupedal Birds.
HEAVY,, on the bass, i should think The Q-Birds would be.
check out melbourne 2-bass+drums outfit 'the omnific' online @wax, (cranker this thurs, northcote saturday), too prog for me, but a lot to offer those of that mind..
Thanx, Base.... i just checked em out. You are right on it. That's the sound of The Quadrupedal Birds. I could only listen to most of one song (at, work. they expect me to work). I'll dive in more tonite. (0630, my time.)
I was into some prog years ago. Genesis, Yes, King Crimson... that ilk. I'll play it as a nostalga thingy at times... but have moved away from it, for the most part.
I had to wake up to see if @ Indo would notice a post
and to make a herbs for anti inflammatory tea
for aching muscles
And to watch American Pickers !
How cool is that
The reason RFK’s name is staying on the ballot papers in some states (MI, NC?) is because to change them would delay the schedule for distribution of mail-in voting material. This schedule has been known for a long time. In some states it’s starting now. To delay this to reprint new papers would affect the election.
Which seems fair to me. Rules for mail-in voting vary from state to state. Like a whole range of other rules. Some of which favour Rep, some Dem. But, they’re the rules.
Just to add a little to the conversation. I think TBB has brought this issue up a few times. RFK waited too long to make his decision to cancel his run. It’s not a conspiracy.

Mike and Frank are pretty cool …
@Guy Smiley
Yes Mike and Frank are nice guys
I like their passion
Mike stopped saying that mildly creepy-grinned "I appreciate you" to absolutely everyone, which I was glad about. Quite like grumpy drew in salvage hunters for an english version too, narrated by chris finch from UKs the Office.
The Partridge Family
?si=pBG89Rs940Nu1S94 Classic British comedy
?si=5k4OtImNvTHn07T3 Hey Eta
Maybe U can explain how some States WERE able 2 remove RFK fromBallot Papers and some couldn't work it out ?
As some States have shown , printing New Ballot Papers , took a day or 2 ffs !
Only 1 or 2 , are still spinning unprintable ,BS , now .
You have posted this BS a few times ?
Kamala is really getting ready 4 The Debate .
Has a stage set up in her hotel room , with Lights , Cameras and Action .
They have everything , even a Trump Imposter carrying on like a Fruit Cake .
Kamala has been killing him , apparently , according to aides lol .
Poor Kamala , will B overcooked by Tuesday night and it will show imho !
Edit
Kamala just added a Policy Page , 2 her website , after 50 days of Running .
As expected , it doesn't say anything important , just like Harris .
Haha. How about you fuck off PD? You’ve just made up that states printed millions of ballot papers in ‘a day or two’. You flat out made that up.
I’ve just explained that it is done state by state. The dates are different state by state. Changing the rules because someone changed their mind would be a form of election interference. Depends on the state. You understand that?
I think pop down needs a wheel alignment
Keeps drifting to the right
have a listen to this @Juliang, excellent recommend by @stu number 3:
https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/festival-of-dangerous-ideas-is-aus...
Morning Eta
I sure did make up " a day or 2 " .
But that's the Only BS in my post , as U pointed out .
You have had 3 cracks and all the posts were total BS !
We are in the 21st century and printing doesn't take long , so maybe should have said a Jiffy .
Now , 1 maybe 2 States , have STILL refused to remove JFK's name .
The bloody election is in fn November ffs !
It's early September , ANY State has eons of time , 2 get a ballot paper printed and Online should take a Jiffy .
If they can't get organised , I bet their Counting of Votes is stuffed 2 , so Ban the State !
And U pretend there are legitimate State by State issues haha lol haha lol , that Each State is battling with ffs .
Total BS , go and watch some other Pigs fly eta :) !

He’s definitely got biased tyres.
Can’t work out if he’s a drifter or a grifter !!!. AW
^^ Mike, Frank, Danielle, Robbie and Jersey John are very cool and overall I get the sense pretty honest in their dealings with collectors. I particularly like the way Mike will offer more to someone if they underquote themselves. The stuff and the passion people have is just amazing.
I also watch Salvage Hunters but mostly to see the English countryside and houses. I find Drew more hard-nosed with prices, sometimes not so, than Mike and Frank.
Desert Collectors Australia is pretty good, Nigel is very laid back and there was a short run program where these two guys travelled the country in search of old barn and paddock find trucks, worth chasing up Truck Hunters Australia.
Geez, it sounds like I watch a lot of TV but apart from ^^ and Iron Resurrection type programs pretty much that's all I watch free to air

More dodgem car than the real deal, inadvertently blindly bumping into issues on a daily basis
Oh My Stars , AW .
I am definitely no piece of flotsam and jetsam , drifting around 4 fun on SN , I think .
It's much nicer description than Grifter , though , I won't Go there .
Maybe Smiley has more of an idea , what sort of Old bloke , I really am .
I do flop from issue 2 issue in a haphazard Pop way and sometimes fumble away in the dark .
Very happy to bump into anyone and if necessary , "give em a honk of the Horn " .
Lots of people on SN , like to have a go at just me , Pops this and that Stuff .
I put up a lot of facts , lots of questions and lots of views .
No one seems 2 want 2 chat about the details , get only minor corrections from eta , but get abused and pigeon holed .
Maybe I'm just a Devine Madman , Don Quixote like ?
Who in the fuck knows , or cares :) !
I have said on many occasions , the number 1 Issue in THIS Election is Free Speech and Censorship .
Gents , anyone want 2 chat about that ?
It's Free , atm !
