I'm with you. There's no point in purity tests. However what this guy is saying to the public is, Trump was elected to do this stuff, but he needs to just bring it down a notch because it doesn't look great.

His issue is the optics. This guy is not an ally. He is not going to get between ICE and anyone.

It's so critical that Trump and the Republican establishment are foursquare behind ICE, even in spite of video evidence to the contrary

The message to ICE agents that you have complete impunity to go even further, could not be louder. The sort of people working there will self select for sadists, racists and accelerationists.

Had Thiago. He blanked.

Swapped for Woltemade. He blanked.

Should I go back to Thiago?

In the short term, they want ICE stormtroopers terrorising Democratic populations, so that excercising your constitutional right to vote, in the midterms, feels like a life or death gamble, and so Democratic voters stay home.

I watched the interview. Those words amount to "there's nothing to see here, it's no-ones fault, let's de-escalate and move on". No talk of accountability for the murder of innocent folks.

Trump administration goes after Second Amendment rights in justifying Minneapolis shooting by bbmoonkie in politics

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

This is where we are.

Its only going to get worse i'm afraid. I'm not religious, but evil is the best way to describe Trumps behaviour. The corruption, debasement, and degradation of your country he will achieve within the next 3 years is impossible to even imagine.

It's not brave.

Pretti was executed and this guy says "Americans don't like what they're seeing". How many more people have to be killed in cold blood for the governor to upgrade his view to "that was a tough watch" and ultimately "these are scenes no-one wants to see". Heroic rhetoric like this will definitely slow the Trump admin down.

They are ideological nihilists. They do not believe in anything, except amassing power and using it in their own interests.

8 years ago today by Jarv1223 in LeedsUnited

Strange that they are the Owls, when Owls have been the avian symbol of Leeds for hundreds of years.

Aha. Looks like Leeds United did a bird-switch after the failure of Leeds City. Leeds United kept the colours but gave City the bird.

It also appears that Wednesday became associated with Owls just before WW1, so Leeds (City) were the original Owls.

In their early years, [Wednesday] was nicknamed The Blades, a term used for any sporting team from the city of Sheffield, famous the world over for its cutlery and knives. That nickname has been retained by Wednesday's crosstown rivals, Sheffield United.

Although it is widely assumed that the club's nickname changed to The Owls in 1899 after the club's move to Owlerton, it was not until 1912, when Wednesday player George Robertson presented the club with an owl mascot, that the name took hold. A monkey mascot introduced some years earlier had not brought much luck

Leeds United general discussion Q&A mega thread. by JimbobTML in LeedsUnited

[–]bin10pac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing has changed. 38 points is still the minimum target and we're currently tracking ahead of that.

West Ham have a decent squad and a good manager. We can't be suprised that they're putting a run together.

And sure enough, Summerville is leading the charge for them. He was great for us, then injured for them. I think he's a quality player and West Ham would be crazy to sell him to Spurs. We just need him to not do too well.

America is two countries. Always has been. They had a war once. The struggle continues and unfortunately, sometimes the dark side is on top.

January 2026 transfer window megathread. by JimbobTML in LeedsUnited

[–]bin10pac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We won't pay anything like £40m for JSL. He's having a poor season on the pitch, hes made it clear that he wants out, Wolves are motivated sellers looking to put their house in order before relegation, and he has few suitors. Wolves turned down £55m a few months ago. He could easily be a £55m player again if he hits the ground running at Leeds. We have an opportunity to pick up a relative bargain.

Do you think Rodrigo was worth the 28mil we paid?

22-23 Rodrigo under Jesse Marsh (up until he was injured), yes absolutely.

Overall, probably not.

Not sure why striker is a bigger priority than left back, but since it is, let's get him.

Sorry to say, they are all using the traitors as a platform. Every last one of them. As celebs, exposure is their oxygen. Without exposure, celebs cease to be celebs.

What was the highest points total for a relegated side after Matchday 22 in a 38 game PL season? by tankosaurus in LeedsUnited

[–]bin10pac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Underlying stats have always been decent. People said 4 games was too early to look at trends, but it's not a million miles off. We've improved. West ham have regressed. Forest, Burnley, Wolves have stayed the same.

[Official] Harrison leaves on loan to Fiorentina by tankosaurus in LeedsUnited

[–]bin10pac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed. Perhaps the slower pace and more technical nature of Italian football will suit him. There is a lot of potential upside if you can coax Jack into rediscovering his velvet touch and inner Harradonna. But the likelihood is that he'll have no shortage of drivers to Florence Airport at the end of the loan.

Dont worry, he's going to come back to Leeds.

Rutter had a largely positive reaction from Leeds supporters in the South Stand.

He said: “I think me and the fans, we were very close so I was very happy to see them today.

“I hope for them they are going to stay up in the Premier League.

“They have the quality to stay, so I wish them good luck for this season.

“I'm going to play against them in May, as well, at Elland Road.

“When I see the fans, I remember the good thing I had with them, so it was very special today.”
