I never understand this. Most of the time when I see this it’s a low-throughput business like a pawn shop trying to entice people to come inside. But why would I get any closer to your loud-as-fuck speaker that you’ve propped the door open with blaring shitty trap music?

So either you really dont get how things work, or you’re kind of racist/xenophobic.

It’s both. It’s always both. People are afraid and angry and hungry, and that brings fascism like flies to shit. I really don’t want to believe that people were always this hateful, and that it’s mostly because times are tough for everyone. Doesn’t help that you have Fox News and their cronies whipping everyone into a frenzy about every little thing.

Oh well. Now we’ll see them put their plan into action and hope that they somehow self-implode before they do too much damage.

It’s really easy to convince people that “different” is worse, it seems.

I’d support a threat of secession.

Too?

That scares me more, honestly. The police riding around in a malfunctioning APC…

Good thing we spent the last 25 years giving the police surplus military equipment.

I’m not blaming it on cabin fever or anything like that. I think people are just angry.

Some don’t care, and some don’t have the energy to. This is by design.

Exactly. It doesn’t really matter who the candidate is - for a lot of people the cycle is to just elect someone from the other party every 8 years because the economy isn’t fixed.

“Longstanding policy” = what we did the last time this fucker was elected. There is no precedent for this, and the entire judicial branch shrugged and said “What are you going to do?”.

Very possible.

Hell, I want change too. So why would I elect the same dude again?

Yeah, it’s happening all over the world. AfD in Germany, for example, is gaining a lot of traction when last time they were dismissed as kooks. Not a coincidence that the world leaders excited about a Trump presidency are the usual suspects.

Ha no, I was annoyed that he only got 15-20 minutes because we looked absolutely dire despite the number of shots we got off and he could have done us absolutely no harm.

o Nwaneri got some minutes, he seemed pretty able to stand up physically to the Inter players, which is pretty impressive… in classic Ethan form, he was demanding the ball and had one decent switch to Martinelli that obviously didn’t pan out but I thought was a breath of fresh air.
o Havertz hopefully only has a concussion after that monster collision.
o Ode came on and seemed okay physically, and our press jumped to life as soon as he did.

They vote on what they think will benefit them now. But yes, they seem to have completely forgotten how terrible things were during his presidency. They just want something different, no matter what it is. If Darth Vader came down and said his new Death Star project was going to stimulate the economy, they’d vote for him.

When it shits, it pours

This week is perhaps the worst week I’ve had in a while.

Fitting that our last chance of the match is a cross that connects with no one. Fucking hell.
