Council Net Zero Madness
7 May 2025
Law professor James Allan has had a bet on Donald Trump to win the Presidency for two years. He's even more confident of winning now that Kamala Harris has become the Democratic nominee.
Biden's sudden exit and the canonisation of his hopeless VP is a dismal chapter in American politics – one that will further erode trust in the democratic process, says Tony Morrison.
In the latest Weekly Sceptic, the talking points are whether Biden was the victim of a palace coup, Kamala Harris's staggeringly bad speeches and Kim Cheatle's humiliation.
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.
President Biden delayed stepping down in part because he doubted Kamala Harris was up to the challenge of an election battle with Donald Trump, sources have said.
Joe Biden has withdrawn from the 2024 Presidential race against Donald Trump – and has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
Unless anything extraordinary happens, the dire debate pretty much doomed Biden’s race against Trump, while the assassination attempt sealed the deal, says Tony Morrison.
In a post-election misery fest, the talking points are the injustice of Labour winning with just 20% of the vote, the even-more-outrageous French election result and Noel Gallagher's glorious anti-Glasto rant.
After the Rumble with the Mumble debate, Biden's support is slipping away. But since he made clear that folks will have to prise his cold dead hands away from the Presidency, his Democrat critics have gone awfully quiet.
After carefully avoiding interviews with even friendly reporters, the White House realised that some serious damage control was required. But Biden's comeback interview backfired badly, says Haven Pell.
