Re: U.S Election 2020
TBH I’m slightly bemused that military service is still a ‘thing’ when it comes to presidents. If Kamala Harris gets a nomination in 2024 will anyone try to make an issue of her not having been in the military?

Nice try but irrelevant whataboutery.
The President Elect hasn't complained about 3,000 people who voted in Nevada after moving to another state.

It's become less common as the WW2 generation died. I looked it up and was surprised how common it was until Clinton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...litary_service
What's also interesting is that no veteran of Vietnam has ever become President despite it being the other major American war. You would expect at least one given how many Americans went but when I think about it every nominee who served lost their race: Al Gore, John Kerry and McCain. George Bush is on there but he didn't really serve in Vietnam.
In America, it seems like military service was an important qualifier for President until one day it wasn't.

Kamala Harris won’t need a nomination, she’ll be president by 2023.

I thought for a moment that was going to be the chicken, fox and sack of corn question!
Definitely the chlorinated chicken!
When the time is right, Biden can send Nigel to Moscow to join Donald Trump, Vladamir Putin and Edward Snowden on the golf course. I reckon our Nigel could match the Vlad in the clubhouse drink for drink but Snowden would fall by the wayside quite early on but at least the lift home is sorted as Trump's a non-drinker.

You seen the way donny drives, the guy he made cling on the back was lucky to cling on as long as he did.

A Pennsylvania postal worker has admitted he made up claims of electoral fraud in the battleground state, according to reports.
The case had been cited by Republicans as evidence of widespread ballot tampering and GOP donors had even given $136,000 to the whistleblower.
