What an absolute joke of a political process. No firm policies and we know for a fact that any half baked pledges will never be implemented. As ever there is no accountancy in US politics, just a huge charade and a lot of rancid air being blown around.
And what's even stranger is our " joke of a political process" has been copied by other countries around the world.
