Only 11% of Europeans view US as ally, per Reuters

@giovannibassi No, it really isn't. Europeans have no idea how rich Americans are in comparison. And perhaps the Portugese less than most. Just ask @levelsio 😂

Argentina has a first class football team, a fifth class economy, a fourth class military and seventh class politics.

Starmer is a liar. A scumbag and a traitor to the country…

Revealed: The White House backs the Argentina players right to protest about the Falklands at World Cup matches and rejects calls (led by the UK government) to punish them. Trump’s World Cup chief Andrew Giulani told me it’s about first amendment rights on freedom of expression

No one needs to have >€40k a year in retirement. You have free travel, so no need for a car, no mortgage and you're hardly going to be in the pub every night.



BREAKING: ENOCH BURKE SPEAKS OUT AGAINST LIES AND MISREPRESENTATION Orla O'Connor is the Legal Affairs Correspondent for RTÉ, the state broadcaster. In her report today, she failed to report one word of what Enoch Burke spoke in today's High Court hearing. Judge Brian Cregan said that Enoch Burke can have his religious belief “outside the gate” of Wilson's Hospital School. The Constitution states otherwise: “freedom of conscience and the free profession and practice of religion… guaranteed to every citizen” (Article 44.2.1). Judge Cregan’s function and role on the bench is to uphold that Constitution, not his own ideas. The topic of the Court’s judgment this morning was how much Enoch Burke will be fined. The same Court has never dealt with the rights and wrongs of a School Principal demanding a teacher to use the “they” pronoun and a new name for a student in a classroom. This was Principal Niamh McShane’s demand of all teachers in Wilson's Hospital School. This was the basis for Enoch Burke's suspension - his refusal to comply with Principal McShane's demand. Judge Brian Cregan has closed his eyes to the Principal’s instruction and refused to vindicate Enoch Burke’s constitutional rights. Separately Judge Cregan is proposing to ban Martina Burke, Dr Isaac Burke and Ammi Burke from attending court hearings. No particulars have been provided by Judge Cregan for why this sanction is being proposed. The Court has not addressed serious concerns raised in correspondence to the Court by Martina Burke, Dr Isaac Burke and Ammi Burke, and Judge Cregan misrepresented the nature of that correspondence in Court this morning.


‘I only find joy in watching other teams lose because my nation are fucking shite’

Must be so exhausting living in a country so devoid of achievements that your biggest celebration is someone else’s defeat. Maybe channel that energy into your own country you might actually not be a total embarrassment for once. Just a thought.

French players were not allowed by FIFA to wear a black armband as a sign of respect for their manager Didier Deschamp’s mum dying, but I’m sure absolutely nothing will be done about this

Going to the movies by yourself is literally a humiliation ritual


My wife and I got into it last night about the grocery bill. I pulled up an old Target order from February 2020. 28 items. $64.50. Added every single one back to the cart just to see. $158.30. Same 28 items. Same store. Same cart. $93.80 more. In five years. We didn’t buy more. Didn’t upgrade anything. Didn’t add a single extra item. Just needed the same things we always needed. They told us inflation was transitory. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was strong. Our cart didn’t get any of those memos. 145% increase in five years. Not one member of Congress has looked at a grocery receipt in decades. And it shows.

Check engine light came on. I went to O’Reilys and got the code. I called the dealership to see what it would cost to fix. They said they wanted to do their own scan for 199.00. But it would go to any repair made. I said I’ve already done the scan. Still 199.00. People are crooks



In a pub in ireland, Argentina score, the place goes ballistic, explain it to me like I’m a child, I think it’s embarrassing and childish.
