When the UK last had a moron setting everything on fire she was outlasted by a lettuce.

Americans need to up their game.

My 7 year old likes it. I can watch it without wanting to gouge my own eyes out. 2 thumbs up.

This also mirrors my experience at Aushwitz. Israeli teenagers were generally being dicks around the site and then unrolled several large Israeli flags to take group photos with.

Can't blame the teens too much as their teachers had no problem with/promoted the behaviour.

I left the place traumatised, these kids... not so much.

Eventually, someone will Luigi Elon. Absolutely no one will care.

Whatever you want him to do, the next guy would reverse it in 2 months. Well done USA.

Close Cooperation with eachother. The USA can no longer be seen as a reliable partner with its wild ideological swings and a lack of strong commitment to the cause.

Make or break for a strong European State.

From a UK perspective we're absolutely fucked due to Brexit. USA is unreliable, detached from the EU, what's left? BRICS? Lol.

Shit.

Why Landlords never seem to take into account that rises in property/land value also equal profit has always been a mystery to me.

It's fine, she said in an interview afterwards that her next career move is fulfilling a lifetime ambition of joining the circus. So the spot is still open.

I might get downvoted to oblivion, but I'm open to discussion.

Firstly, having read the full article... IF (big if) she's telling the truth and it wasn't even her then its hard not to feel sympathy for her.

Secondly (more controversially), is a picture of a noose racist? I mean, it certainly has racist connotations and I personally wouldn't have used it, but (bear with me) I'm not sure racist is the concrete conclusion. Lots of people have been hung throughout history, if you're not viewing it through a racial lens then are you a racist or just very insensitive.

What about if it was a picture of a mastiff? Or a police officer? Both these things could symbolise the subjugation of slaves. Are we really gonna ban pictures of dogs or police?

Symbols mean different things to different people. Sometimes people just need to be told they've been insensitive and given the chance to apologise with promise of doing better in the future.

There is a scenario where whoever put that up was not invoking the lynchings of black people specifically.

Just my 2c.

Organising nones is like herding cats. The evangelicals do not get their power from their number. They vote uniformly and reliably, turning out for every primary, local, and federal election.

We are a diverse bunch with diverse opinions.

Part of me wonders what a Greta Gerwig - Oppenhiemer and/or Christipher Nolan's - Barbie would look like.

Xhaka incident was a symptom of the malaise. Malaise cured, previous symptom irrelevant.
