I found a lot of Masterji's arguments quite compelling... always interesting seeing it through a Muslim's eyes... I'd be more engaged with those arguments if they were based on actual history, not his imagined version he typed in that post. But that doesn't matter... history doesn't matter... we're...

What is why? I'm sure everyone has heard the rumours.

The point is that CIA need enemies to ketp ots big budget. You name it, they created it. Mossad used this guy, gave him millions to hire white girls and got them raped by rich white people from America and Europe. They then used to it to tighten the screw of they asked any questions on Israeli evil...

I do think Vance is quick on his feet and will make an excellent president....much more so than the governor of the dumpster fire that we call California. The way he spoke to Zelensky... was unforgiveable... It shouldn't have been public but Zelensky was blatantly playing to the cameras there.

I see it now. Some of you guys have a man crush on him. Only explanation that makes sense because his number one fanboy, Precious, has saved all of his pictures. I've come to accept him with his strange tweets and speeches because I have another 3.5 years to go. (Hopefully another 4 or 8 with Vance...

The Swedish fans turning up in Switzerland to support the women's football. Not a bad show.

The 25m maul try at full sprint was quite impressive by the rosebuds at the death.

Indeed.

Hillary shot herself in the foot. She also was never a likeable politician. Both Hilary and Harris failed to win a previous Democratic nomination prior to their runs due to not being able to connect as well with Democratic voters. Harris was so bad she dropped out before her state came up to sav et...

Hillary shot herself in the foot. She also was never a likeable politician. Why is Hilary not likeable yet a 6 times bankrupt , almost illiterate plus whatever else he'd done , more likeable? Its because society magnifies the faults in women. Its like Trump can sleep with so many women, cheat on hi...

It is the key stat. There was nothing she could do. She was always destined to lose. She was up against the worst candidate a convicted felon who incited an insurrection to overturn the previous election. He was caught on tape asking for state offi officials to change the result in his favour. If t...

Welsh defending and keeper were horrendous!

A shame, they got to the Euros by being defensively solid, well drilled and hard to beat. I think the occasion got to them.

Balance so much better with Toones work rate and positioning in midfield. LJ is a bit of an enigma but is easily better than Mead on the right. Shoutout to Stanway and Walsh. That was way way better than anything I’ve seen from them since the euros 2022. Meads had a bad game, but her goal and assis...

Where do you come up with this stuff. Like show me these articles that show she was losing ground. Is the donor class not helpful to Dems, sure. But part of it is that it is a gamble to go more left because they have no history of voting so being more middle of the road and getting the consisitent ...

Trump is winless against white male but undefeated against women. That's is a key data point. Biden. Steps down earlier and a white male wins the nomination and I believe the democrats win. That's like saying black men are undefeated against white republicans in the elections. It's clear Trump won ...

It's not even that. They need to pick some who appeals to the white working class. That's the demographic they've lost since Obama because of objectively bad candidates selected from a pool of culture war weirdos, venal Clintonite elitists, and utter non-entities. Perfectly put. :thumbup: No it's n...

Post election analysis showed Harris was in a deep hole when she took over, she managed to close it well but the argument that Biden should have stepped down after one term, announced it early for a proper campaign season seems valid.

I enjoy women's football and prefer a few aspects.

Black America felt that way, even moving to Kamala. This country was way too racist for that. If it was Walz-Harris, Dems would have won. After the debarcle of Bidens departure from the race , no democratic candidate would have won. Post election analysis showed Harris was in a deep hole when she t...

No one has an issue with women’s football except the fact that it is getting rammed down our throats as something that resembles a decent sporting spectacle. Rammed down yoru throat? You mean that TV dares to show some women's games now, the media reports on some games? That's getting rammed down y...

I love Oasis, and saw them a couple of times back in the day, but I don't love them enough to fly to Oz at great expense and see them one more time.

Fair play. I always admired that guy. He epitomises the "size of the fight in the dog" thing. It's easy to be huge and be a tough. It's hard to be small and tough. He has real brass. You've just described most half-backs. How can it? The words "Mouthy little gobshite" didn't appear in his post?

In political elites, you'd be right. Maybe media (where I think a lot just kept quiet out of fear of cancelation). But not the wider public.

Many Iranians, including us, feel this is not our war. It has been forced on us by a corrupt regime that only has the support of maybe 10 to 20 percent of the population. The overwhelming majority are completely against it. Our government is truly the number one enemy of the Iranian people. It has ...
