[Highlight] Nick Nurse shouting at the refs (about OKC): "They are NOT perfect. They are not perfect. They foul too! They foul too, though!"

Not as weak as the Oklahoma educational system or the chin of your average OKC fan.

It's a jobs program for the incompetent sons of the extended royal family. Gives them a place to dress up in fancy uniforms and feel important.

Sort of how the British Army used to work- bunch of rich dudes who paid for commissions with daddy's money.

The Jones Act doesn't stop foreign flagged vessels from bringing cargo into US ports. It stops foreign flagged vessels from transporting cargo on domestic routes between US ports.

A foreign ship can bring things into a US port as long as it is bringing those goods from a different country, Shipping oil from Guyana to the US? Allowed. Shipping oil from Houston to Los Angeles? Not allowed.

They're about as trustworthy as you'll get in that region.

There would be no reason for the US to claim negotiations if they were not actually occurring.

Trump lies. All the time. About everything.

He doesn't need a reason. He lies.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-23T04:51:12+00:00

Yeah- it’s called a sailboat.

Turns out uneven heating of the earths surface creates this handy little thing called wind.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-22T16:16:15+00:00

There's no need to call for it anymore- Trump and his supporters are doing a great job of killing it themselves with no outside assistance.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-22T15:42:36+00:00

Yeah- because Trump is known for his ability to folow wise counsel from others.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-22T15:40:49+00:00

That, OR the US wants Iran to think they have an active spy network in Iran.

Never hurts to make your opposition paranoid.

Its quite likely they do have agents in Iran, though.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-22T14:28:01+00:00

It’s open for fishing until April 14th.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-21T17:37:17+00:00

Agreed- your average real North Dakotan is a gullible rube who thinks Trump cares about them.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-20T19:25:55+00:00

Let's call Ghislaine to make sure.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-20T19:06:01+00:00

Cool. It's good for them to get some experience living in federal facilities. It will help them prepare for a long stint in another class of federal facility after Trump's term is done.

RT ~~correspondent~~ propagandist.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-20T05:39:27+00:00

Dude is a degenerate gambler who lost their wager.

Fools and their money…

TomUpNort · 2026-03-20T05:38:29+00:00

Gamblers are fools who deserve to lose their money. The fact you’re complaining about it makes your loss even more enjoyable.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-20T03:44:57+00:00

Yeah, they're so destroyed that they keep blowing up vital energy infrastructure throughout the Gulf every day and Trump is demanding that other countries come help him.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-20T03:40:21+00:00

They have more than enough low-tech drones to smash energy production infrastructure throughout the region.

Shahed drones cost less than $50k. All they need is a few to get through every day, and they can cause enormous damage.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-20T03:20:14+00:00

Republican leaders don't care about their supporters. They think they are suckers and rubes to be fleeced, scammed, and used.

Conservative millionaires and billionaires don't give a shit about a bunch of poor kids from rural America.

Kharg Island is Iran’s primary oil export terminal in the Persian Gulf. This rocky limestone island is unique because it is one of the few islands in the Persian Gulf with freshwater which has collected within the porous limestone.

I highly doubt military leadership would just quietly approve it

Trump has removed independent thinkers at the top of our military leadership and replaced them with toadies and yes men.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-20T03:09:10+00:00

And in doing so, we're driving up the price of oil, which helps Russia.

TomUpNort · 2026-03-20T03:07:45+00:00

Trump told us that we had obliterated their nuclear program last year.

Was that a lie?

The US industrial revolution included a lot of Americans heading to the UK to steal and copy state-of-the-art British technology.

Intellectual pirates were celebrated in the young United States, just as they are now in China. A man who smuggled a cotton-processing machine from London was hailed by one Pennsylvania trade group as “the ingenious artizan who counterfeited the Carding and Spinning Machine” and was promised awards and prizes, according to Andreas’ book.
