You know Trump is doing exactly like I thought he would once elected, making everyday about him. He’s in every news bulletin everyday and it’s all about him, how shocking, outrageous, whatever you want to describe his behaviour or actions he needs to be noticed and talked about everyday. Him him him him, the total narcissist is the most powerful man in the world and I believe he is very dangerous because of that.

And if his plan for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza goes ahead, he will be remembered in history as the tyrant that he is.

Had a bit of a chuckle at the write up on the Scunny website.

the shot moved so viciously that it had Fitzsimons well beaten and the ball would’ve been destined for the top corner if not for the intervention of the post that caused the ball to ricochet back into play before being cleared.

Well done that goalpost.

Good support for Trump from the bigots.

I’m guessing LK has Fox News on his favourites list, the advocates of honest upright journalism, lol.

Not only Fox News, Trump unfortunately has his admirers here.

My prediction is that Trump won’t turn out to be as bad as many fear, and he’ll be nowhere near as good as he’ll make himself out to be. As ever time will tell.

While talk of the end of American democracy is far too early, it’s important not to normalise authoritarianism and sheer corruption to appear balanced when Trump has replaced a politically neutral bureaucracy with his lackeys:

It looks very much like “Project 2025” to me.

What’s wrong with a ref having his own views. The world’s going soft.

However, if it were Man U he was talking about.

Did Keith Houchen get it right. In his book “A Ten Pound Note and a Box of Kippers” he describes us as “A bunch of miserable gits.”

Two or three cleared off the line, two or three good chances not converted.
Final five minutes were just scrappy, when you need to hoof it, just hoof it, don’t wrestle for it in the area.

Don’t worry. They are currently building on an M181 connection from Burringham Road, so I am sure it’s progressing just as Waltham said it would when Swann got ahead of himself and thought we could say farewell to Glanford Park in 2015-16..

Now that roundabout will be of use, unlike the other one which I refer to as “Tevye’s roundabout” (One going nowhere just for fun).

Lebanon is not strong enough to control Hezbollah, it can barely run itself after the fifteen years of civil war.
Added to that the invasions by Israel and Syria it’s been on its knees since 1990.
Interference from outside has disrupted a fine balance.
Beirut used to be known as the best holiday destination of the middle east. No longer.

Not only Hezbollah, Israel is now buzzing Beirut, why? Because it can.
Lebanon is a very fragile state suffering from different factions fighting and decades of bullying by Israel.
