PT: Since Everton's 10-point deduction for ONE fair-play violation virtually guarantees relegation for them, what will they do to Man City, who has multiples?? Gonna take a coupla titles away?

Hope y'all don't mind making this thread last through Sunday 😉 FL, do y'all have a similar traditional menu in October for your Thanksgiving? Not at this time of year, no. We have snacks and stuff related to Halloween and bonfire night, but nothing major. It's only really Christmas and maybe Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday - 13th Feb 2024) that really affect food that much. We might have had a harvest festival at some point, but we've not really bothered with it as a 'proper' holiday/feast etc. for some time... |

Who knows, but both have technically affected Leicester City (LCFC) over the past few years, (potential European football and our relegation), so... We have a feeling there's going to be a few court cases for LCFC to appeal at in the near future   |

At this point I don't think the recognize the difference between basic decency and opportunism, In fact I don't even think they understand the idea of humility and hypocrisy. It is like they're always projecting and gaslighting us at the same time. And that is because few if any has the balls to nail their BS to the wall. Our Media is by large worthless and there's always an ideological harbor they can go to, in order to lie without pushback. |

The thing about morons, is that they are responding to what they think they said, not what came out of their head. We're not responsible for the stupid shit that is vocalized. She is. But in true fashion of the valueless amoral right - they never take responsible for anything. Imagine writing a book to explain that what she said or stated was an error of our perceptions and not the brain rot of her mind.

Hope y'all don't mind making this thread last through Sunday 😉 FL, do y'all have a similar traditional menu in October for your Thanksgiving? Probably. The basics of turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, bread stuffing (dry + wet), dinner roll, and various veggies is probably the same though we may differ on veggies. My parents tended to favor mashed potato, diced and boiled squash, thick sliced and baked carrots and beans - generally veggies that store better over the winter. That said, my inlaws (immigrants) adopted more modern everyday veggies - brussel sprouts, carrots, peas, corn, etc - and nobody is going to really question that. |

I don't know about the US but in Canada, all cars sold must have a fuel regulator that cuts off the fuel if the car goes over 160km/h - or about 100mph. It is removable and you do hear of people getting pulled over for going over 200kph, but I think most people are not aware of it....

Never mind that all organized white supremacists and racists vote GOP. Criticizing Israel's government for what they do isn't antisemitism, especially since a lot of the protesters are jews themselves. But LARPing Neo Nazis marching in Charlotteville and Madison shouting 'Jews will not replace us' - something that is echoed by Elon Musk, Trucker Carlson and all the replacement theory wackos are I guess not racist. And here we have a front runner to the GOP ticket using Nazi rhetoric about murdering their perceived political opponents and other imaginary unwanted.
Media need to keep nailing these Fascist apologists for excusing what is an increasingly fascist movement.

BTW, the other day we had a conversation about 'what can Biden do' about Israel's genocide. That every president since the formation of Israel have pretty much given them unconditional support because trying affect their policies and actions never work.
Which is not really true. But I did mention that Obama pretty much stuck it in the eye of Israel when they wanted us to expand hostilities with Iran instead of negotiate a deal to keep nuclear development off the table. That was after Bibi addressed our congress - basically unheard of in that context, in order to further damage the process.
But, that's not the only time Obama stuck to his guns.
The only reason why there is so much acquiescence towards Israel is because American politicians fear the smear campaign that will follow. But here's the thing; it only works if people bow down. Bibi is actually extremely fucking weak. He hides behind the historic blight of the holocaust that still rings fresh in peoples minds, and assume Israel is a monolithic nation of holocaust survivors. But it isn't. In Obama's case he knew that they would attack him regardless, but when Bibi started meddling in our elections, Obama basically said fuck it and told Bibi to pound sand.
And just to add. The Israeli lobby and politicians will always accuse everyone of antisemitism even for the mildest criticism. It has worked before. But it doesn't anymore. There's a new generation with new ways of getting information that detest what Israel has become. The old norm no longer works that well. As you can see in all modern Western nations. The governments are trying to clamp down on basic free speech expression with accusations of antisemitism and they're flailing and failing. Big time. You have THIS administration trying to make a case of no genocide by Israel but genocide with Hamas and worrying about what happens when the ceasefire starts and the cameras go in. Because they know how fucking bad it is. What we've seen isn't even half of it.
We can resist and we can regain our sovereign identity by working with Israelis and Palestinians and then refuse to cooperate with Bibi and all the other bloodthirsty fuckers who boldly and declare just how insanely murderous they are.
We can all do both. Chew and walk. The idea that are some subjects were we're incapable of doing something is always betrayed by facts.
So
Happy Thanksgiving for all. Israelis and Palestinians alike. When the dust settles I hope we will echo the creed 'Never again'. Never again will we bow down and acquiesce to the tyrants that hide behind victims for their own political gains.
If I had one single wish, it would be to destroy all guns, bombs, nukes, tanks etc so that the bully around the block have to figure out how to continue his bloodthirst with his fists alone.

The Media is still stuck in that bothsides narrative BS - Biden old. Biden confused. Democrats worried about this and that. Meanwhile you can barely get them to talk about the fact that Trump is almost as fucking old as Biden AND he can barely string together a functional sentence. Or that he is echoing fascism so hard that Neo Nazis cum when they hear him speak. But moreso - the actual reality we live in is under constant assault by this continued narrative driven nonsense. The economy is going gang busters BUT they will always find a fault to hang themselves on. You can barely get Media to correct the message on inflation, gas prices, food prices, job numbers, increasing wages etc. They're still attacking workers who chose to walk away from shitty jobs with no upward mobility and you can't get them to wrap their heads around how awesome it is that Biden is supporting labor and at least try to go after Big pharma. And as we see this reality divide widens, you will have entire generations of voters who have no fucking clue what is going on. I mean how many times to we hear and see ignorant tit fuck Trump voters screaming that the sky is falling economically. At what fucking metric? I think the greatest destructive force of our Media isn't just the concentration of Media outlets by partisan billionaires. Such as the asshole that is now using Univision to try to get Spanish speaking voters to vote Trump. Or the rightwing kook who tried to do the same with CNN (and certainly succeeded). But there's also an overreliance on punditry, outright nonsensical speculation by people who has no knowledge on shit and just makes up stuff whole cloth. And of course constantly asking the public - idiots on social media - what they think, to shape the Media coverage. I just don't give a single shit what Joe Rando in a diner think. I want to have the facts and best data in front of me like a juice steak so I can make the best choice I can. The world have become so saturated with self important content and any random person with a voice, that we hear more from dumbasses then we do experts. There are so many out there that think their ability to form words and puke them out, is the same as information from subject matter experts. Everyone with a social media account has become an opinion as fact messenger and we have a lazy narrative driven Media who keep leaning towards the same idiots they just spoon fed nonsense too, for feedback. This relentless feedback loop of constantly saying dumb shit to idiots and then eat up for validation of their original stupid point (See Joe Rogan and how he became the health expert by allowing his audience to validate his stupid shit and reinforce a dumb notion over that of people who knew what they talked about). He vomited up nonsense, they ate it up, and validated his nonsense by clapping their flippers. I mean, in what sane word can you vote for an idiot with a chainsaw mask on his head in Argentina that promised to simply destroy everything and that has cloned his same dog like 4 times and says they speak to him and gives him advice. Or Trump wishing hellfire on everyone for Thanksgiving. And our Media goes...how cute, lets see what Mr random guy in the street think about it. There you go folks, random guy is a Okay so America approves. Yes, it makes me angry and frustrated. |

It should be noted, with the full endorsement of GOP that it is now okay to threaten and malign judges and their staff.
Since we cannot have a 2 tiered system, it is now fine to go one making up shit about our court system and delegitimize their work.
I mean, we only work with the rules we're given. And forget about respect for our legal system. It is our free speech right to intimidate staff, concoct shit about anyone and to go after witnesses.
After all, we might be campaign for a local school board, so naturally any restriction of speech is a direct political attack on our campaign.
Do note that Judge Engoron and his staff is receiving threatening phone calls and death threats via mail.
And we have one full party that is fine with it. They're entire mum on Trumps behavior and will excuse it as 'they started it first' type defense.

BTW, we're always told that the left is antisemitic because we do not swallow whole cloth the reasoning for Israel's governments assault on Gaza, but apparently no one is claiming that at all when a flood of doxing and threats are launched against Judge Engorons law clerk. She's Jewish and a lot of the threats against her is of the racist antisemitic tropes. We don't really hear Media pointing out that.
Again - every single organized white supremacists organization and Neo Nazi or fascist group all vote for GOP.
Lets have some balance dear Media and point that shit out. It is not the rando protesting in the street that is the problem. It is the organized mass of fascist cretins that in their defense of a criminal and corrupt Trump, attacks the law clerk for being Jewish. These people don't miss a beat.

In 1976, a Soviet pilot defected while patrolling in his Mig 25. He flew it to Japan, and landed at a Japanese civilian airport, in part out of necessity due to low fuel. The runway was a bit short so he blew at tire and overran it during landing.
Yadda yadda asylum, military secrets, soviets overstated their technology, etc....
After they were done investigating it, Japan returned the aircraft to the Soviets - though a few parts had remained in the hands of Americans. They also billed the Soviets for the damage to the runway. In response, the Soviets billed Japan for the missing parts

I mean, what fucking twit and Beta male person feel that they have to rough up a 78 year old? Just how small is your fucking penis that you feel that is appropriate. We're talking about our elderly that you can basically incapacitate by turning on the TV. Who hires these kind of psychopathic individual that get so angry that he thought this was an appropriate response.
I can hear the weak ass defense now, he feared for his life. Stop hiring these people. A person who cannot keep its cool knowing they have a loaded weapon in the holster and goes after women, kids and the elderly like they're WWE champions, prolly cannot hack it in real life doing shitty jobs. These people belongs in padded cells with a shock collar on for when they get to excited.

Sarah Huckster, gov of Arkansas don't want to talk about her corruption. She want media to stop asking her about how she partied up 19k in taxpayers money so she could get plastered in Paris with her friends. She has since tried to change the subject with banning naughty words (like CRT) and now hiring and appoint a book banner to Arkansas state library board. A guy that says Jesus was A Okay with book burning, eventho there were no books during his time to speak of AND the Bible itself do not discuss in any detail about book banning and burning.
The nice thing about conjuring Jesus when you want to hide your lame ass sociopathic fascist ass behind the Bible, is that God and Jesus don't come out as tell them to get fucked.
So you can ride baby Jesus all the day long.
And of course it is their free speech right to say the dumbest most heinous things AND ban other peoples free speech to use words, books, think, say stuff, print stuff etc. It's an amazing win win situation. Jesus endorses their nonsense through his silence and the idiot brained can simultaneous claim free speech AND demand to remove free speech while our drooling Media chucks it up, ask rando on the street what he thinks and then conclude with some ducks walking across the street. Plus this new normal and anti Democratic BS fist perfectly with the new normal of ever increasing chaotic weather. A twofer.
I'm sure he's paid handsomely for being a fucking lunatic and incompetent in the subject matter. With the idiot right, upward failure is a feature.
