Yup, it looks like Trump is going to destroy the campaigns of two Trump mini-me opposition leaders in one week. Labor looking good in Australia

Eight-hundred years later, the US is now fighting to preserve Magna Carta.

For what it's worth, Trump is really killing the right-wing opposition party in the Australian election. The centre-left government has roared back into the lead.

The Supreme Court should call Bondi to the bar of the court for an interrogation.

Wait till the US Govt becomes addicted to the tariff revenue and can't afford to reduce it.

Since Merino became a striker, I have not seen him take a bad shot. No scuffs, no shanks. Drills them all on target. Then he links up the play and gets back to defend in the penalty area. You don't see Mbappe do any of that.

Timber shut down Vinicius! He shut down everyone.

The guy takes quality shots all the time. He's not a makeshift striker, he's a real one.

Pollbludger.bsky.social. However William Bowe does not appear to be posting nmuch so you should go to his website which is the go to blog in Australia

Funnily enough, the electoral college might come to the rescue. It makes it difficult for the Republicans to win an election by just running up the score in Red states.

True, but mass demonstrations have toppled many dictators. So I'm not sure your point.

With FPTP you only have to mobilise your base to win an election (particularly when voting is voluntary). So it tends to promote extremism.

Witkoff and Trump are going to get a hell of a shock when they realise that they don't matter because Ukraine is going to cut the US loose and keep fighting with Europe on its side.

Britain (and US) suffer from first-mover-DISadvantage. They were the earliest 'democracies' and now have woefully outdated systems. Britain should adopt the preferential/ranked choice system. Used at every level of govt in Australia for 100 years with tremendous success

You really should have ranked-choice voting. First past the post is a terrible system, sorry.

With Timber, it's also the dog that didn't bark. I lost count of how many times Cucurella thought about trying to beat him off the dribble and decided to just recirculate the ball. His heart just wasn't in it.

Spend the gazillion dollars getting someone who gets the ball to merino

People were screaming for Arsenal to get Ivan Toney who is not half the striker that merino is
comment in response to

Trump has made great mileage out of portraying himself and his followers as victims. He's now portraying the United States itself as a victim of its friends (which must be destroyed).
comment in response to
post
Funny how people were screaming that Arsenal needed Ivan Toney as a striker. Yet Merino is twice the striker: better defender, better in the air, quicker, much better technique. Yet he's not a 'real' striker

Surely, it's a no-brainer. There is a big lesson from Australia. Malcolm Turnbull removed an unpopular PM and surged in popularity. Should have gone straight to polls. Dithered for six months and almost lost. Carney can say he needs a mandate and the electorate should have a say

First past the post voting that discourages new parties and independent candidates

Fortunately, they are too dumb to be cunning. The EU and UKR have discovered that.

The power block that Trump (and Putin) really want to destroy is the European Union.

The best explanation I've seen is that Trump really wants to turn the US into a hermit economy. That is why he is imposing the MOST savage tariffs on its CLOSEST neighbours. That is the quickest way to isolate the US and create an autarky. The inflammatory language supports that.

Odegaard looks faster for some reason. An optical illusion?
comment in response to

I'm going to die of hysterics when Arteta tell that fanbase that, instead of getting their long-awaited striker-savior next season, they are going to get Mikel and Ricky. The only advantage Sesko has over them is pace and that doesn't mean much playing against low blocks.
comment in response to

Merino also has everything a striker needs except pace in behind. They can job share?

Yup, why not just sit there and further empower a bully. Trump would have loved that.

The US is about to lose all of the military, economic and cultural advantages that come from being the global hegemon. It's gonna be a long fall. Political leaders in Asia know they can either have the bomb or get treated like zelensky. Orders for weapons systems drying up as we speak.

Zelensky emerged the victor. Trump looked weak and the EU now knows that it has to pick up the standard of the free world. This provides a great excuse to unfreeze Russian assets and flood UKR with arms.

This will cost the US staggering amounts of soft power, economic power, military power. EU will become the political and cultural leader of the democratic world. How long now before the EU starts funneling unfrozen Russian sets (300 billion) into Ukraine.
comment in response to
post
Zelensky emerged MUCH stronger than Trump. He showed that he does not need Trump. The EU has almost 300 billion of Russian assets. It can now unfreeze them and flood Ukraine with arms. It will also become political and cultural capital of democratic world.

Does our pressing structure require too much effort from our front two. They really do have to work like Trojans.

Looked to me as if West Ham tried to shut down the Nwaneri - Merino axis and that left O in space to make the cross. But he prefers playing cute balls. I hope the Merino experiment continues. But he needs service.

Zelensky is a tried and tested war leader who has just seen how Trump folds under pressure. He will not let Trump push him around.

This is actually a positive sign. Trump is effectively saying that, if Russia wins, it will have control of the rare minerals.

Trump crumbled when Canada and Mexico stood up to him. He will wet his pants when a war leader like Zelensky tells him to take a hike.

Someone who 'wrote' a book called The Art of the Deal should know rule 1 in any negotiation: don't make threats you won't carry out. Your threats don't mean anything after that.

War-leader Zelinsky sees the Trump tariff backdowns and can't stop laughing.
