Was thinking about what @Howmanheyman was saying in the match thread about his strike comparable to Beardsley ones. Different position but like, in terms of our midfielders in the Premier League era, where do we reckon he is? Tonali or Cabaye for instance.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/trump-tariffs-chlorinated-chicken-uk-b2726709.html Trump to the UK - If you want the tariffs gone, open the doors to chlorinated chicken. If that's a red line for him in this trade deal, we're not getting that trade deal. If Starmer signs on for that, he's done.

The positive is there's no way this shit holds up. Its built on absolute bullshit and has no basis in reality. The Senate has already moved to prevent it and while the House may side with Trump its only a matter of time surely. I notice no other countries have immediately retaliated yet so we'll see what happens I guess.

Yeah that's it right there. A complete fucking nonsense is now about to cripple the global economy. This idea that the right wing are good on economics. It is a fantasy. It is. I have not once in my life seen it to be true, but now it's like they're going out of their way to be even more incompetent.

I was just reading over the EU's detail about all of this: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/qanda_25_541 So it sounds like Trump is claiming VAT is a tariff... even though it applies to all goods, domestic and foreign.

Nope

Although the other way of looking at it is that he went half in on them, and matched us like for like..! He's claiming they're at 40% on the US so he's hit them with 20%. We're at 10% so got hit with 10%. Presumably if we were in the EU, we'd be running at 40% on the US. Idk if that's true tbh but we're now fully in make believe land on these numbers so I'm claiming it either way

UK hit with 10% tariffs, but he's basically lashed out at every major economy in the world. It's an attempt to push back globalisation I suppose. They also now have their anti abortion pressure groups taking root in the UK and are apparently 'monitoring' our handling of the issue. We voted to be weak. That's actually the only thing now that stops me getting angry about these things. We voted for our own enfeeblement, we have fucking no one to blame now that bigger kids are bullying us.

No words for Tonali like, the guy was absolutely worth the extra year wait.

Is that fucking weapon still trying to create some sort of a link with them ffs. It's like it's his life's work, which is honestly beyond sad even if he ever does find any sort of connection.

Did it catch anyone

We've got this.

True but I think the bigger hit is that he heavily associated himself with that campaign, plastered his name all over it, and lost. You'd have thought Musk was running himself with the visibility he had within that election.

They're pushing for Luigi to be executed too.

The problem is that I suspect that they're not going to do that properly, and instead of supporting the crafting of positive versions of masculinity and turning people's frustrations onto wealth inequality, they're likely just going to lecture them about how not to be incels.

She will for sure but like, what is the alternative really. She's a fucking criminal. At some point we need that line in the sand where we stop giving ground and start actually standing up to these gangsters. Besides, if there's a country in the world you can rely on to not go quietly against government authoritarianism in this day and age, it's France.

She's actually been sentenced to jail? Fucking hell, France rapidly becoming the most ballsy country in the world at this rate, wtf is this timeline.

I'd prefer City to win it. Call me small minded but I feel like Palace or Forest winning the FA Cup will overshadow what we achieved. Even though frankly I think ours was the harder one to win.

This game is gonna be revealing for the rest of the season. We should win, I back us to win - but then I'm going to be saying that in every remaining game this season I feel like.

RTG have decided it's shameful that a crowd about ten times the size of their average attendance turned up today, while simultaneously failing to to comprehend why 300,000 people gathering to celebrate something with a football club made national news. Magedia at it again.

I enjoyed this. It was a bit cheesy, a bit 'local' but the players bought into it, massive turnout, entire city united around the football club. Looks like the stream had 40k watching as well from around the world.. lots of people impressed with the turnout and so on. Positive day for the club, and everyone associated with it.

Musk planning to step down from his role as part of the Trump team by end of May when he anticipates that his team of teenagers will have successfully cut $1tn. Probably also because the cost to him of continuing with this is not small and he's had enough of being on the front lines already.

While I agree, I wish to point out that he's taken more responsibility in those comments than I think I've ever see any political figure manage in any capacity, ever

I think Vance is 100% a cryptobro asset. He worked for Thiel for several years being groomed into what he is and was then sponsored to the tune of $15m dollars by Thiel once again to win his seat in the senate, coming from absolutely nowhere to do so. Trump took him as VP as part of a deal with the cryptobros sponsor his campaign. What Vance otherwise believes changes to fit his needs - it's not long ago he was calling Trump a nazi. He is there only to advance Thiel's agenda, I'm sure of it.
