Why is there some US sheriff(?) pictured in the thumbnail here @theguardian.com ?

Like just about everything else, presumably we are going to have to start aligning ourselves with the Europeans and other allies? They generally have more robust safety standards and progressive policies than the US anyways, so that's probably good.

I was at my polling station at 9 am on the dot, and about 30 people were ahead of me. Took 40 minutes to get through. Lineup was 3x as long by the time I left.

Advance voting open this weekend! It was busy. Got there at 9 am on the dot, and there were about 30 people already in line ahead of me when they opened. Took me 40 minutes to get through. Make sure you leave enough time in case you run into the same. Most importantly though, go VOTE!

Shocked, not shocked. Vote appropriately!

Well, I predicted 8 years ago that the USA was headed for civil war. Sadly, I'd still be prepared to put money on it.

Look, we’ve all had a girlfriend who’s been there.

Here's some advice:

1: Don’t date a walking red flag

2: Don’t vote for Pierre Poilievre

Yes, but it would be nice to have one. Less complicated when I get to the polling place.

Has this been shared more widely, and not just on social media? Seems like info North Island voters (and beyond) would like to know!

To the US specifically . . .

"May even be" desirable to restore America's standing with trade partners? I can think of at least 3 VERY important trade partners for whom there is no doubt.

Good for you! It can be done, through a combination of good fortune (as you acknowlege) and discipline, and yes, you should celebrate.

Wow. I thought it might be high, but those numbers shock me. Thanks for the reply(s).

Fair enough if you prefer not to answer the specifics, but I'm curious, as a non-USian, what you pay per annum for these?

Anyone who is surprised by this has not been paying attention.
