I hope nobody shows him the Russball team selection that had no strikers in the starting 11. Don't want him getting any bright ideas like that.

This lot haven't got a fucking clue.

Perhaps they have "avoid defeat" bonus clauses in their contracts.

Our son is booking a holiday in Czechia, and has opened an account on a Czech website, which in common with many sites seta security questions. Disregarding such standards as "Mother's maiden name" or "First school", the site asks "Which schoolmate did you like least?" and "Which sports team do you like to see lose ?".

Be careful, it's apparently a WAR ZONE.

What outcome will best serve his desire for the Nobel Peace Prize ?

If Trump is able to bring an end to the war that is acceptable to Ukraine then that will obviously be an excellent outcome. However, why has he taken the course he has ? Why not lean heavily on Putin from day 1 ? What was the purpose of humiliating Zelensky in the White House on live TV ? Trump is erratic and unreliable, and no specific individual outcome alters that.

🤣

But have you "caught him out" ?

Plenty of intelligence, zero wisdom. His safe middle-class upbringing in Tunbridge Wells has given him all he needs to understand and sympathise with oppressed people around the World. His parents probably eat tofu and wear sandals.

Perhaps he can take a lesson from the myth of the Augean stables.

The loan to Argentina is an attempt to buy support for Milei in the upcoming elections. Trump has said that the US "won't waste our time" on Argentina if his party does poorly.

For someone who has a history of complaining about electoral interference, offering what is effectively a $20Bn bribe to Argentine voters seems contradictory.

I am not dieputing the legalitiy. However, I am arguing my stance as to something that is very "wrong" with America.

The case law doesn't alter the wording of the Second Amendment, it establishes an interpretation of what it means. Americans, including SC Judges, seem to have a blind spot about the Amendment, and infer what the Founding Fathers actually meant when drafting the Constitution. There is little regard to how the World has moved on from the specific threats and issues that existed during and immediately after the Revolutionary War.

There are at least 5 different texts of the Second Amendment, it varies from State to State in terms of the exact punctuation ratified by that State's Legislature. None of them mention the protection of life and property, the text relates to the maintenance of a "well regulated militia" to ensure "the security of a free State." The bigger issue with the Amenment is that it is seen as inviolable, yet other Amendments have been varied, or even struck down. What is so special about the Second, given that all States maintain "well regulated" militias in the form of the National Guard ?

On the subject of Charlie Kirk, and how wonderful a person he was; On October 28th 2022, David De Pape broke into Nancy Pelosi's home armed with a hammer, intending to kidnap Mrs Pelosi. When he couldn't find her he assaulted her husband with the hammer and left him with a severely fractured skull. De Pape was remanded in custody. Kirk, on his podcast, said “Why has he not been bailed out? By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out", before repeating a conspiracy theory that the attack was actually a gay lovers' tiff. Real Christian values there.

You know when you have made a valid point on the forum - Nic gives it a laughing emoji.

Charlie Kirk didn't make uneducated comments, he was very clever at promoting a particular point of view despite almost certainly knowing the facts often went against his standpoint. He was a propagandist for Project 2025, and like any other form of propaganda, there had to be a basis in fact, if only a fleeting relationship. EDIT: and anybody that lobbies against gun control is most definitely stupid.

He may have played a role in the Gaza peace plan, it may have been significant, or he may simply be a figurehead being used to front up work done by others and having his fragile ego massaged, but it does not erase the many instances that evidence his mental incapacity.
