Suspect arrested after eight people, including six Asian women, were killed at Atlanta-area spas

Eight people, including six Asian women, were killed in shootings at three different businesses in Atlanta and Acworth, Georgia, on Tuesday, according to local police. A male suspect was arrested and charged with several counts of murder on Wednesday, police said. At a press conference in Atlanta on Wednesday, authorities identified the four victims killed in Cherokee County.

 

I spend a quiet 5 minutes of every day now enjoying reading democrats getting carried away thinking they are going to win. It’s a bit like enjoying the reform drongos who genuinely believed Farage would be PM or the Labour idiots who tonight a Twitter poll meant Corbyn was going to win. Obviously worse because I don’t want Trump to win.

But he’s so obviously going to. The democrats have to be the most deluded people ever. She’s a woman. She’s black. She’s from California. She’s obviously far better a candidate than Trump but she’s worse than Biden. If Hilary Clinton couldn’t win in 2016 before all the MAGA nonsense then thinking a black woman from ultra liberal tofu munching elitist California is going to win against Trump in the swing states is sort of hilarious.

Be ideal if I was wrong and would provide a far more satisfying level of schadenfreude but right now I can only see Democrats in despair come November. 

Tim Walz as a running mate is a surprisingly astute choice for Kamala.

If you are that sure the Bookies have it very close and getting closer. Remember the Democrats have 2-3m votes already saved in a computer somewhere

I think fanny 5 is mistaken. I genuinely believe that Harris will win now. Perfect candidate apart from her admitted communist leanings. Not white and female. Must prove irresistible in the woke/PC capital of the world?

I hope I am wrong and the hip pocket nerve twinge will get enough votes for the one who will put plenty more in their pockets. She won't win Arizona but the other swing states are anything but clear cut now she is the opponent.

It's increasingly clearer that Republicans are turning against Trump as much as agreeing with Harris - apart from the morons who still believe the Democrats are "aborting" babies a month after they were born or are just out and out racists.

Trump's mask is slipping. Now folk realise that it was Trump who blocked the Border Bill for his own political ends he really has no policies to fall back on, and greater scrutiny is being paid to his mindless rambling and ineffectual record that put their money in his pocket and helped his billionaire pals, not them.

The VP pick was smart as he has a proven track record of working across party lines to get stuff done and Americans are realising that if Trump is defeated they may end up with a government that actually works for once, instead of blocking every decent idea for political reasons.

The places that matter are not liberal. They aren’t politically correct or ‘woke’. A black woman from California is about the worst pick to win in America.

Biden - white man, from PA working class background, history of standing up for many of the swing state voters. Thats why he won. He united enough folk from disparate backgrounds.

See Starmer in the election just gone. United Tory defectors, Labour centrists and soft left voters. Lost the hard left and nu left but that wasn’t what would matter in that election.

Harris has absolutely united a lot of the democrat voters. How many switchers has she won over? Not many is my guess. 

I thought she might pick Josh Shapiro as her running mate given he's very popular in the vital swing state of Pennsylvania but it seems she's opted for someone else

I've seen a few American military veterans online upset about the cheap shots at Walz's military record but this takes the biscuit. Strap in for this one...

 

Listening to his conference. 

People are dying because they can't buy bacon 😁

Harris now favourite to win. 

Those odds smell like insurrection 

Old boy is sounding a bit rattled.

Not at the moment. He's taking an extended break, so his Mrs is doing them instead.

 

It's just cruel this. Forcing a 78-year-old dementia sufferer to run for President. The Republicans should step in and end this. 😢

Says it like it is.

Which, apparently, is "ermmm blumble pissfroth transgender flibble parp squamdeck man cofefe quack quack pussy gob gob ppllllllhhhggg"

Must admit, I thought after the assassination attempt, I thought Trump would piss it. I'm not so sure now. 

Question is, if he does lose, will there be huge uproar from the MAGA mob, claiming robbery again? 

Looks like the VP pick has those fine folk at fox rattled.

Taxes on couches?

Bastard.
