    Biden has no chance whatsover of winning.

    Ah now. It will be close. It will be very close. The incumbent usually has an advantage and Trump will probably squeak it but to say Biden has no chance is daft.

    Biden looks like he's having a stroke in that picture of the mural.

    Must have been commissioned by the GOP.

    This is a fairly weird take. Why does an upcoming US election make it contemptible or strange. Its not a bloody ongoing Irish court case that could be influenced.

    You only have to look a PARlance's point a few posts back to see one good reason for this 'weird take'.

    Especially when they represent a significant vote.

    Biden is just following in the footsteps of JFK, Ronald Reagan & Obama. Identify an Irish connection no matter how far back and combine a few public appearances into your trip to Ireland.

    His trip here as VP was the beginning of his tilt at the White House. Its all in the name of winning the Irish American vote and nothing more. It will all be in vain as I think Trump's team will have been planning on rigging this election for a long time. I could see this vote featuring all the hallmarks of a Russian, Ukrainian, Belarussian type result.

    If that pans out then god help us.

    There will be a stock crash the second week of November. The US has been over leveraged since before Nixon decoupled the Gold standard from the Dollar. I am amazed it has gone on this long since I found out about it.

    Its going to be one almighty crash and Trump is going to be blamed for a load of bad historical judgements that preceded his office.

    You could put Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking in charge over there and still won't save the place. Yuri Bezemenov was right in what he said 30 years ago.

    Jaysus, there hasn't been this much activity on the Mayo forum in ages :D

    The mural itself is okay but the group the Ballina Community Cleanup group are doing some brilliant work around the town painting and tidying up run-down parts of the town so fair play to them

    Trump has changed the political face of the United states for the next 40 years. The Democrats were over confident at a Hillary win, they didnt bother to appoint over 100 judges. Then Trump got in and appointed all of them and will again in the next term.
    While the Democrats should have been getting their act together to get an electable candidate in, they were blaming Russians, White supremacists and male toxicity. Democrats were also infighting.

    Now they have an incompetent candidate that Trump is dying to debate. When they should have been building up one of the Kennedys. But they are all unelectable messes.

    Good to see Mayo getting a boost here.

    BTW a young Kennedy even failed to win the Dem nomination in Mass.

    If you could bury half the stuff the Clintons did, then you could get a washed up Kennedy to the White House in one fell swoop against Jeb Bush.

    Saw the start of the docu of Biden on CNN last night. Both being Irish and catholic were signalled as his family's two defining points. So his Irishness is important to him.

    It's kind of funny how they went from removing god from whatever during the convention to his Catholicism is a big thing..He was quoting Pope John Paul the second the other day too.. I'd say they've realised they f*cked up letting the military wing burn the place down over the summer..

    I'll have to get a translator for that, as I haven't the foggiest notion what you're saying.

    Mod Note: Keep it to civilized discussion about the mural please. Not a discussion on the US elections.
    If you want that go the appropriate forum or AHs for ranting posts.
    Cheers
