    Meanwhile, the latest betting...

    Trump 13/18


    Harris 7/5




    Which suggests we are doomed, & the next leader of the so-called Free World will be a lying, racist, misogynist, convicted sex offender & felon.

    Sad times. Luckily, I'm approaching life's end game, so I plan to try & enjoy life whilst I can. I do feel sad for younger folks though, for whom this could turn out disastrously. This especially applies to POC & women.

    There was a complicated explanation for this on the telly last night.
    It was that, some mega-rich Trump supporters have lumped millions on.
    The bookies respond by shortening him up.
    They then publish stories about him being favourite, and will therefore win.
    So if they can convince the public, he wins, and they get a few quid.

    I suppose there could be a germ of truth in there somewhere.

    Honestly, it's beyond my comprehension how this could happen. (Trump winning). I fear it's a bit like Brexit, lots of folk believe the rhetoric & vote accordingly, & then, when it's too late, realise what a colossal mistake they've made.

    Democracy doing it's thing I suppose.

    I mean, look at all this stuff (merchandise) he's selling.

    He's a full-on snake oil salesman, surely folks can see that? Is that really who they want as President?

    I just find the thought that he could win absolutely incredible.
    Why cant the overwhelming majority see through him?
    I find him repulsive.

    One guy apparently bet 30 million on him.
    Wouldnt take many of them to shorten him up.
    Peanuts if you are a billionaire.

    Trump is selling $100K ‘Swiss-made’ watches. A search for who makes them took a bizarre turn



    Donald Trump announced last month he is selling “truly special” Trump Watches priced up to $100,000 and constructed with “premium, Swiss-made” materials.

    The watches were part of the latest merchandise push by the former president. The Republican nominee for president wrote on his Truth Social platform about the devices and how “you’re going to love them.” He added: “Would make a great Christmas Gift. Don’t wait, they will go fast. GET YOUR TRUMP WATCH RIGHT NOW!”

    Now, the watchmaker's origins are in question after CNN tried to track down the company behind the devices. They aren't based in Switzerland, but their address returns to a strip mall. In Wyoming. Next to an HR&Block and a Wendy's.

    Even the address for TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC was questioned by CNN's report. The address the watchmaker listed is a daycare. It's also the same address used by a lobbying firm that represents Montenergo's Government. The location is also tied to an LLC that sells male enhancement honey.

    It’s also the address given for the company behind Trump’s golden sneakers.

    The strip mall or address gives no indication it is the home of a top-line watchmaker, CNN’s report states.


    When contacted for comment, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told The Independent, “this is not a campaign related venture.”

    CNN noted the people behind TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC are hidden from public view. Knocking on the door of the address also did little to reveal the details behind the Trump watches.

    The watch company LLC was created on July 29, just months before Trump began promoting the jewelry.


    The honey company that lists the same Wyoming address as TheBestWatchesOnEarth LLC, uses a similar name, TheBestHoneyOnEarth. Vladimir Dmitriev, a spokesperson for the honey seller, told CNN that the company is “highly reputable.” Dmitriev also told the outlet that he “received direction from our leadership” not “engage” with news agencies until after Election Day.

    Many of the companies linked to that Wyoming office address also share the same so-called “organizer” named Andrew Pierce, CNN reports.

    Carol Mendelsohn, chief marketing officer for Andrew’s company, told CNN that his organization is the registered agent for several Trump-related companies. Mendelsohn told CNN that they do not “bear any responsibility for the actions of their clients.”

    But Mark Pierce, Andrew’s father and business partner, told the outlet that had had no idea that two of their clients were connected to Trump. He bashed the former president saying that if Trump or his family were on the same side of the street as him, he would walk to the other side.

    He also told CNN that consumers should be careful buying from someone with Trump’s reputation.

    “Before spending $100,000 on a watch, they should know who they’re buying it from,” he said.


    The Independent has contacted Trump Watches for comment.

    Those that vote for the orange balloon either can't bring themselves to vote blue even though the red candidate is patently certifiable or they are simply kool-aid drinking nutters
