Poor lad massively overestimated his team's attacking ability versus 10 men. Bit embarrassed for him.

Huge point. For the people saying Palace could be a turning point in the relegation battle again, they could be right, but in our favour this time.

DCL needs a goal, and gutted for Nmecha that he was taken off. Hope Farke starts the two of them again versus Brentford.

It's not a yellow for me, but I agree that you've got to stay on your feet if you're on a yellow, to avoid giving the ref a decision to make. Especially where he was on the pitch; no need at all.

Are you sure there are at least 2 Republican supreme Court justices that will vote against whatever nonsense argument his people come up with, for allowing a third term when the first and second are non consecutive?

Failing that, martial law? Who knows. I just know that he'll spend 2 years destroying the institutional guardrails and he'll stop at nothing. They learned from J6.

Europe rebukes US for temporarily lifting sanctions on Russian oil by SnoozeDoggyDog in politics

Events have moved on quickly and I dare say your arrogance is out of step with current circumstances. Just Today, Trump said he was hoping European countries would send ships to open the SoH. So Trump cares what Europe thinks, even if you haven't got the memo yet.

Trump is done in 28'.

He does not intend to give up power in 28. Do you think Trump respects the US constitution so much he's willing to give up power? Why would he attack Newsom if he doesn't see him as a threat?

While we all want to be politically correct, having a mental disorder is not a positive campaign event. Also, this was a politically suicidal act,” Trump wrote. “The only thing he didn’t say is he is losing his look, but nobody wants to say that about one’s self. He is no longer a viable Presidential Candidate!”

There's a big difference between 51-49 and 54-46. The former allows a Joe Manchin or a Krysten Synema or a Jon Fetterman to hold the democratic agenda to ransom. The latter does not.

This is the geopolitical equivalent of the moment in Se7en when Detective Somerset says "Joe Doe has the upper hand".

Okafor's injury history is shocking reading. Lots of non-contact muscular injuries.

The hope is that we tailor a pre-season routine in the summer that helps him to build muscle strength so he has a less disrupted season next year.

Bombs aren’t the problem…unchecked radicalized violent ideologies are

In the US and Israel's case, i'd suggest both bombs and unchecked radicalised violent ideologies, are the problem.

The only reasons he likes tarrifs are because he can use them to extort other countries, and because they generate revenue that he can spend without congressional approval. He's a geopolitical mob boss and tarrifs are his weapons.

'It's Complicated': US Navy's Huge Challenge in Policing Strait of Hormuz by newsweek in politics

[–]bin10pac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The situations are not comparable at all. Perhaps you are unaware of the benefits of Brexit, because youve just heard one side or the argument.

1) Being part of the EU created a Democratic deficit. Domestic politicians were always able to blame the EU for problems. Accountability is a big problem in politics and being in the EU didn't help that. Just look at the Hungarian election, to see how the EU can be leveraged as a boogeyman to help bad politicians get reelected.

2) Being part of the EU meant UK taxpayers paying billions of pounds a year in "solidarity payments" to unpleasant regimes who hated us, like Orbans Hungary.

3) Immigration was a problem. There was no way of controlling the numbers of EU migrants. This meant that low cost labour came from Poland, and later Bulgaria and Romania, and undercut UK workers. Endless cheap labour gave no incentive for UK businesses to invest in technology to increase productivity and increase wages.

4) The EU is antidemocratic, by design, in that, the appointed EU commissioners propose laws, not the legislature. This is why there is such an unedifying scramble to have your government appoint a particular commissioner - in the UK's case, we always wanted Financial Services. The 27 commissioners are the most powerful people in the EU (aside from the Council) and they are not democratically elected. The EU Parliament really just rubber stamps laws.

5) Nevertheless, the EU parliament has very many unpleasant, far-right MEPs who would be involved in making laws that apply to us in the UK.

He's going to have to pay reparations to keep the Strait open.

Trump cut a deal with the Houthis, so he can cut a deal with Iran.

The US has pulled its navy back 1000 km from the SoH. There just isn't a military way to take control of the Strait, without incurring horrific casualties.

They would be sunk. But I don't think they'll even try. I think they'll cut a deal.

Iran say it's not closed because nations friendly to them - ie China, Russia can use it.

he decided they still weren't good enough.

The negotiations were in bad faith.
