No, I am not a betting man (who spends loads of time on Vegas forums). Mind you I am broke. If money wasn’t an issue maybe I would, but it would seem like I would just be taking the bookies money. I have zero issue with others profiting from my skillset though.

Given she will be taking office just before I expect global state war (ww3) to be at its highest risk point, she will have her work cut out for her. But I think she would be a wise hand to help steer the world to safety.

Imaging bojo as a wartime prime minister, in his Churchill mode!

I really do hope that I am either wrong on this or the spooks and diplomats prevent it.

Smiling to acknowledge someone who’s waiting to let you past in the supermarket doesn’t really work if you’re wearing a mask :roll_eyes:

Must come up with another mode of non-verbal communication :rofl:

I’m less convinced now because of Biden’s chosen running mate, Kamala Harris. Biden is very close to, and loyal to the Obama’s. and if there was a real prospect of Michelle Obama running, I doubt he would have put Kamala on the ticket as VP, as that is seen as a path to a presidential campaign and thus positions her as a competitor to Obama… 8 years or so from now, a Kamala president with Michelle Obama as VP, on an all female ticket though… now that could be a possibility, and also would be fascinating to watch… but, hey, what do I know!

I know Trump bucked the trend on that (and most things), but isn’t it normal for serious future presidential candidates to run for congress/senate/governer first to give themselves some political credentials?

I’ve regularly found myself smiling or acknowledging behind the mask.

Facial expressions are a big way of communication with poeple.

Biden will keel over a couple of months in*, making Komma - La president…

*the US has come up with another screamer…let’s put the weakest possible candidate up, let’s not change our policies, and let’s all cry when Trumpet gets another term…

Calm down there old boy!

Sounds like your judgement is coming around to agree with me. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

You will be telling us that Michelle Obama will win in 2024 next! :upside_down_face: :wink:

i have always been in total agreement with myself…

I don’t follow Mobama closely, but i think thus far she has avoided most of the nonsense of identity politics…if she can stay away from that then she stands a chance…

Have you ever made a sandwich from frozen bread to thaw out hours later?

Mind. Blown.

Sounds unpleasant and wet. Or does it work?

When a youth, doing farmwork during the summer (it’s what we did in Lincolnshire) we used to do this.

Works great & not wet, ideal as @pacha says if its hot & the bread would go stale quickly.
