The Trump administration is disrespecting it’s ally Ukraine’s sovereignty by insisting the country give up it’s raw materials without guarantees against future incursions by a hostile foreign aggressor and historically one of the US’s biggest enemies. Zelensky did not disrespect the Oval Office.

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

Rangers are so poor here. No cohesion, no urgency. Woeful defending. Propper and Nsiala look like they’ve never played together. Attacking is non existent.

Crikey, Rangers look very sluggish out of possession and indecisive in possession. Butland is currently keeping them in this game

FYI @teamlabouruk.bsky.social . You can’t out Reform the Reform party. You’ll just drive voters in to voting for Reform if you are seen to be being Reform. You’re alienating the vast majority of those who voted for you at the last election.

So finding out the antagonist in #Thunderbolts is going to be The Sentry/The Void has me a little bit more excited about it, but I’m still in the ‘meh’ camp I’m afraid
