wouldn't be suprised....same as the one that fell ill in london with radiation poisoning....bit more subtle than a soldier running up and putting a syringe in the neck like they did during the Kursk press conference.....but effective nonetheless

They are checking surveilance footage at a cafe at the airport which is where they think it happened.

He is definately in the Stalin class when it comes to despots

But sadly not surprising. It's a dictatorship over there in every sense of the word.

Chalk up another Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon associate/former administration advisor arrested. Steve Bannon charged with wire fraud.

Had a huge belly laugh when I read a post elsewhere from @Curly_Tiger yesterday at the irony of him supposedly supporting Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon because of corruption and cronyism. Within hours we have him attempting to disown another of his former campaign team and part of his administration that has been indicted, a day before his large donor and postal service head appointment is to appear to answer representatives on his handling of the service!

Not to mention the Republican endorsed senate report that apart from confirming the Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon campaign's involvement with Russia, basically states that which any reasonable person already knows, in that they believe Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon lied to the Mueller investigation. Making it all the more unbelievable that Lindsey Graham was/is holding senate committee hearings in his role of sycophant to appease his master and pander to his obamagate crap.

That the hearings were running when no deals were being made on the latest pandemic response bill makes it's occurrence worse.

No pardons for "Sloppy Steve" I suspect.

I also said believe little of what you see on the TV or read in the papers, yet here we are, you are quoting from these exact sources. Irony all around
The postal service smoke and mirrors is more about the Ds promoting vote by mail in an effort to scam the vote process
Let's see how it pans out, I'm sticking where I am

Dude, these are the words of your messiah distancing himself from an individual and organisation that he has previously endorsed, plus finalised or current court and government chamber matters, with actual people not receiving medications on time, but hey, you can continue to believe whatever you like.

"support" and "messiah" are your words, I merely raised questions as to why he is universally rubbished. Other than joking that I wasn't sure who was more unpopular in the forum, Benji or Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon, adding that I rated both, that's the extent of my support, but I do respect what he's done and doing

I'm sure we will both continue to believe what we like, that's our right. Different views are a good thing for the world as a whole, long may they be allowed to continue

Yes a few genocides and concentration camps short of Stalin!

Thought experiment - what do you think the reaction would be if Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon, blaming covid, delayed the US election? Would people be as chilled as when Adern just did it in NZ?

Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon does not have the power to delay the election.The Republican and Democrat parties have both already told him he cant do it as it is written in the USA constitution when it has to happen.
As far as the NZ regulations are concerned i have no idea if it can legally be delayed or not.

Yes, if the legalities and policy circumstances were even close, but no because they are far from that and one's election day is set in their constitution. For instance, I would be happy for our federal or affected state's elections to be deferred for a short period currently.
