So, I didn't hear about this latest piece of insanity from the broligarch in chief until just now. What in the ever-loving fuck is he thinking? Just edit out all the stuff he doesn't like with some AI BS? How can that be trusted and correct? Oh, that's right it can't be and will be wrong.

For folks living in the United States, participating in this sort of thing is a federal crime and will land you on the radar of the US Office of Foreign Assets Control If you don't go broke defending yourself from the federal indictment first, you'll likely go broke while you're in federal prison

They’re literally deporting brown people and importing white people. That’s about as racist as it gets, folks.

In a nice bright spot of news today I see that the Wellington Phoenix are going to host Wrexham FC. I hope this inspires more kids to play the beautiful game in NZ. I remember travelling to see Winton Rufer and Werder Bremen play the All Whites as a kid www.footboom1.com/en/news/foot...
