Agree. What a mess.

I believe Platner must withdraw from the race by 13 July in order for his name to be removed from the state's ballot and replaced by another candidate.

His backers/sponsors are all pulling out so he will presumably drop out.

Edited

Yes, he's cooked.

This one does essentially end the reformed man narrative. The last polling I saw had him doing best with college educated voters, particularly women, and there's no way that demographic of Dems is going to get past this.

If only Schumer et al hadn't been so set on Mills, this could have been avoided. Idiots.

Adding that they need to find a way to get someone in there in a manner that feels more like a (small d) democratic process than the Harris for Biden sub.

On Communism. Will a Trump advisor please do a PPT with lots of cartoon pictures to explain to him how different political/economic ideologies work.

Great news! I have just been informed that one of the biggest, best, and smartest Retailers in America, Walmart, will be lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration's request to celebrate our great Country's 250th birthday. Walmart will, in particular, be dropping the price for a pound of ground beef by almost 15%, among many other products. This is a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart, which is a truly patriotic Company who loves the U.S.A. My Administration is lowering prices that Joe Biden incompetently raised with the worst inflation crisis in history, a total disaster along with the Southern Border, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and many other failures. Just as I promised, Oil Prices are plummeting FAST, and Gas Prices at the pump are dropping too, just like egg and Prescription Drug prices which I am bringing down by historic levels. Walmart is stepping up in a big and bold way, and other Retailers should follow the lead of these absolute Patriots. Together, we will make America stronger and greater than ever before! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Donald. This is communist command economy you are doing. You are a US Republican. You are supposed to be pro free market capitalism.

Edit to add. I will post this on the pro Trump thread (if there is space). See how the pro Trumpers explain it.

How is he president of anything other than Mickey Mouse land with such little understanding of politics?

Off to check out response to your post on the pro trump thread, just in case anyone can make it make sense. I already know that won't happen.

Before Trump settled on Communism as the ultimate threat, he used to label th Democrats as Marxist Communist Socialists, disregarding the fact that they are different political philosophies.

Yes, I think political philosophy as a concept is pretty far outside his mental reach.

I wonder if Trump has now totally fucked that footballer’s career. Will forever be known as the one where Trump got a red card overturned in his favour at a World Cup. Poor sod.

That was my thinking too. Balogun didn't ask for this. Another worry for me is that Trump (and some of his white-napkin-headed chums) can use the poor guy to demonstrate an element of "we're not racists because Balogun". I sincerely hope not.

On the BBC stream, reports of Belgium's win was accompanied by comment 'The world was rooting against the US'

Not "was". Increasingly not "was". (apologies to decent Americans on here).

The Belgium manager said Balogun came over and talked to him after the match
"It's not his fault. He is not the one to blame and I told him that.
"I appreciate that he came over to talk to me."

I don't think the US team formally challenged the red card (beyond the usual barracking on field), it was Trump who interfered.
Trump has totally bolloxed all the goodwill this competition has created for USA. The venues have been exceptional, the locals v welcoming to fans (even becoming honorary Scots and Dutch supporters). FIFA has not had a great reputation before this and he's made it worse. I mean how bad are things when Sepp Blatter is criticising you?!

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 07/07/2026 12:06

I think I heard Infantino is refusing to answer the calls for him to resign as head of FIFA. i don’t think it makes any difference, they can always find someone else to stoop to the lowest imaginable levels of corruption. (I write as a Swiss national.)

With most of the US not realising.

I was amused to read that USA fans started leaving before full time. Is that normal fan behaviour in the US ?

We have season tickets to a premiere league club (not that I go often), but to be fair, it's pretty normal fan behaviour here too. I think if your team is looking pathetic and you've got more than a walk home, it looks pretty enticing to beat the crowds leaving the stadium and on the road or public transport.

But the national team ? At the biggest tournament in the sport ?

A very real possibility is that he is confusing Denmark with Belgium. And this is a threatening reaction to the Footie fiasco to "punish" the insignificant little European country (not sure he can tell them apart) who dared to defy him.
