The by elections may be interesting, they'll be the first since chatGPT was released.

Obvs all parties will claim it as a victory whatever the result

Ferrier's constituency might be up for grabs too. The bastard English MPs forced her out.

If they don't call it Jesus they're missing a trick.
Parthenogenesis happens in some reptile species. It’s not “news” at all.

Happened with a shark a few years ago, thing is it only happens with females so Jebus was a girl as well.

Keeping good company then. Male reindeer typically lose their antlers by early December, but females keep theirs later. So Rudolph was female too.

I've handled a variety of top secret stuff and that could be a large exaggeration, it's impossible to tell.
As it's been shown Biden broke the same law I'm expecting him to recieve the same treatment because it's starting to look like witch hunt now.

Surely the crucial difference is that one is a current POTUS and the other is a former POTUS. When you leave office you lose all the privileges and entitlements.

Bidens papers were from when he was VP, same rules, same situation.

Biden's papers were locked away; some of Trump's were in a shower, others on a stage.

IIRC Biden's attorneys reported the find and handed them in. Trump's were found during an official search and, allegedly, he was showing them to other people.

If so, not quite the same situation.

Nope - he was still 'in office'. Trump is an ex-POTUS with a load of highly sensitive nuclear-related documents he's been hiding from the investigators.

Both of them had left office and kept papers they shouldn't have in unsecure locations. Apart from the way they were discovered I don't see the difference, that Biden became Potus after the fact is a bit irrelevant.

Probably all previous presidents and VPs are guilty of this but we know both of these have done it.

Biden stole some of the documents when he was merely a Senator. They're STILL finding stuff Biden took. Trumps stuff was all inside his house, Bidens stuff is spread across at least 3 States.

Or Rudolph was not typical.
