The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.

…..when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in an interview published on Thursday. “When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”
The comments came on the heels of an interview the president gave to The New York Times, in which he repeatedly danced around a commitment to respecting the results of the midterms, claiming that he “always [respects] the results of elections, but the elections in our country are rigged.”…..
……White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked on Thursday about Trump suggesting multiple times that the midterms should be canceled. She claimed Trump was just “speaking facetiously,” and “simply joking.”…….
We all thought Trump was joking when he told us that he was going to invade Venezuela, and take their oil and sell it. And we all thought he was joking when he said said hAmerica saide wh invade Greenland and take over Island..
