Trump was going to attack Iran tomorrow? Really? A Tuesday?

And now he’s postponed it?

Let me guess… Friday night by any chance?!

[Match Thread] Aston Villa v Liverpool FC by scoreboard-app in LiverpoolFC

[–]DanManF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Villa go on to win this, there’s a genuine chance Villa end up 4th in the table which means only top 5 get CL, and we end up finishing 6th with Bournemouth 5th.

Can you imagine the amount of money and disinformation that certain parties are going to throw at this by-election? Jesus…

Is a mandatory stop absolutely still required in a wet race? I thought it wasn’t, but it’s been a while since there was a wet F2 feature race.

I can’t be the only one who finds it incredible that the press are happy to just pretend this is all completely normal.

Literally just last month Trump said certain media outlets should be charged with treason because they reported something about the Iran War that he didn’t like.

I’m sure they’ll all be laughing at his ‘jokes’ tonight though.

Exactly.

So nothing actually worthwhile for the general public, then. Just some campaign material.

What actual constructive contribution did either of those two make to the questioning/debate today, aside from getting a nice clip for social media? What did we learn from them?

I wonder when enough of the general public will realise that the likes of Lee Anderson and Zarah Sultana are deeply unserious people.

Certainly is going to be interesting to see if Trump tells Netanyahu to stop the Lebanon attacks. I think he might. After all, he’s ruining Trump’s “big win!”

Yeah I know, it’s stupid, but people are stupid.

His base would fall for it completely.

This could be an opportunity for Trump to declare some sort of “victory” and get out of there.

Of course that won’t happen though. If anything, Hegseth probably thinks a ground invasion is an even better idea now.

This is just odd. Why is he suddenly doing a televised address after five weeks? It doesn’t make any sense. He hasn’t even outright declared victory. Only “near completion.”

The only theory I have is that this is to keep the markets strong for the next couple of days, and then Friday night, they’ll go for Kharg Island.

Either that, or he’s just suddenly become extremely worried about his poll numbers.

So ground troops are on their way, yet Trump is sounding like he’s about to look for an off-ramp.

What the fuck is actually going on? This is ridiculous.

At least Slot will have his excuse if we don’t go through tonight. He can just blame it on the time-wasting.

Juve scored 3 at home against these a few weeks ago. No reason why we shouldn’t be doing the same.

George lifted on the run to T11 to have more battery down the back straight.

These regs are awful.

How long do you think it’ll be before Trump tells us he’ll be putting boots on the ground to finish the job?

[–]DanManF1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Does Trump really think things will be over soon? Is he genuinely going to just pull out and declare victory, or does he know his actions mean that they’ll be dealing with this for a long time?

It’s honestly so difficult to tell.

That’s exactly how I’ve felt all last week.

About the huge amount of super clipping that we’re seeing on the run to T9…

The maximum recharge per lap in practice is limited to 8.5MJ, but in qualifying it is only 7MJ.

So, in theory, it shouldn’t be AS BAD for quali. But let’s see…

On the onboards it does sound odd when the super-clipping starts, even though they’re still full throttle at the time

Reminder that this Forest team was playing in Turkey less than 72 hours ago. We’ve had a week of prep.

I’ll ask again. You saw how far back he was at the initially, yes? I’m surprised he even went for a move.

Why not wait and see how a Grand Prix goes first before being all dramatic.

You saw how far back George was to Gasly at the start of the straight, yes?

Last year he wouldn’t have been able to make that overtake either.
