It'll be super interesting to see what happens to current anchors, whether they'll just quit/be fired or change their tunes as if nothing happened.

Its to close to the vote to risk him saying anything else stupid, eating children?

He is running scared in the debate, blustering he won... the debates he had in 2016 and 2020 were a lot closer to polling day than the date being proposed here.

Who pays the piper I imagine...

1998! Why keep him in prison for 26 years and then execute him? Why not straight away?
Allegedly killed one person (but no evidence linked him to the crimescene or weapon) - are people being executed all day long in the USA?
20K+ homicides per year ( america) with approx 40% conviction rate, so let's say 8K sentenced per year.

It's not straight away, thankfully, cos they get several chances to appeal.

I'm laughing at this way more than a man my age should.

There are now 120 accusers, a trail that suggests he drugged victims, over 3,000 people have come forward and 20% of alleged victims were underaged

Diddy do it? Ahem sorry.

Seems an awful lot of people accusing him. I wonder how many of these are bandwagon jumpers, this always seems to happen, and it’s totally unfair on the genuine victims

The key part with this is that a year ago Trump was accusing the court of all sorts of corruption and pushed for transparency, now he is furious that all of this is coming out weeks before the election deadline - but it's his own making, the information wouldn't have been made public if he hadn't played himself. The second release in around 10 days is also expected to be the point where the scale of corruption within wider Republican members comes out and should Trump lose this years election the party may be set for a Tory style implosion of scandals.
