These kids are able to articulate their political views better than I do, at age 65. Of course, they were Democrats to begin.

First time voters are gonna play a major role. It may sound off topic but I chanced on this cool translator that does everything and more of what a translator should have, name is Immersive Translate and one thing that can really help is it’s new feature, which lets you create a custom AI expert for translating anything. Thank me later, it's gold.

Quick question, why is BBC so anti trump? Surely a news media outlet should be neutral? And lastly surely BBC license payers deserve an unbiased news outlet, not just about American politics but so many issues.

I always wonder how many podcasters secretly want Trump to win for the sake of their podcasts.

Mark Cuban just won the election for Trump. Smart women for Trump just donned Safety Vests and marching for Trump. So funny. One person's garbage is another person's TREASURE!
