Actually I think would be 6 stars, they were relegated in 77, 79 and 81. Tinpot fucks

Aye first thing I said to my pal when he came one was "he's lost at least half a stone in weight".

Well, that was fun

I'm get back to this properly when I get to a PC but I saw this this morning and thought I would pass it on. https://blueprint2024.com/polling/why-trump-reasons-11-8/ " The results paint a clear picture: Democrats were punished for inflation, misalignment on immigration and cultural issues, and Biden. The top three reasons not to vote for Harris were: “Inflation was too high under the Biden-Harris Administration” (+24) “Too many immigrants illegally crossed the border under the Biden-Harris Administration” (+23) “Kamala Harris is focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class” (+17). This suggests that Harris was weighed down heavily by the Biden administration, particularly by inflation and their track record on immigration. Harris was also weighed down by voters’ belief that she focused on liberal cultural issues. In fact, this was the most frequent criticism among swing voters who broke for Trump (+28)." Clearly it wasn't a side issue for those folks.

Jesus fucking wept. This kind of attitude is EXACTLY why the Democrats lost. "well, i don't think this is a big deal so no-one else should and if you do you're a bigot. We know better, just suck it up oiks" 1. Whether you like it or not it's not a fucking side issue at all. As I said prior a lot of people have become single issue voters over it over here (look at the collapse of the female vote for the SNP if you need an example) and I would be very surprised if it's not the same in the states. 2. Where was I when people in positions of authority were raping women? Condemning it whenever I became aware of it. Giving birth in a cell? Also condemning it. The difference here is that in both cases the prison staff are failing in their duty of care and there are processes in place to to discipline them for it and for them to lose their jobs. Prisons are not meant to be holiday camps but, equally, people should be safe within them. It's interesting though that you show concern on those fronts but then show nothing but contempt for woman when you trivialise rape by saying "Or any other far more pressing issues in women's prisons that don't involved getting biffed by a tranny.". Why are you ok with with women getting locked up with males that want to rape them that they can't escape from cos, you know, prison? Genuine question. Also what are these issues in womans prisons that are more pressing that inmates being raped? Again, genuine question. 3 "It's fucking mental how such a side issue has been elevated to something important. It's impressive actually. It started with an attempt to help a relatively small number of people with identity issues, was picked up by the crap-rags who made it the biggest issue of our times" This is not what happened at all. What started out as a very noble cause to raise awareness for those suffering the mental health condition, gender dysphoria, was hijacked and has now basically become a male supremacy movement. Further to that the ideological capture of institutions (see the edinburgh rape crisis centre controversy for example) and the indoctrination of children in schools has further stoked the fire. I feel absolutely gutted for the actually gender dysphoric because none of them wanted this. 4. It's not about "genital history" it's about an emperors new clothes level delusion (namely the concept that sex is not real and immutable) sweeping the world and weak minded people going along with it because they are too scared to offend or be branded a bigot. Hope you enjoyed your wee virtue signal though

I also don't think you can underestimate the effect Identity politics has had on this result as well btw. It's made plenty of people, and not just women, single issue voters over here so no reason to think it won't be over there and I think it is a big reason why so many demographics that would normally vote Democrat heavily weigh in for trump. Most folks don't want to see males in women's sports and prisons and are sick of being called bigots for refusing to pretend that someone wasn't born the way they were. It will be interesting to see the effect a trump presidency has on this issue both domestically and internationally.

Love it!

He can only do 4

Not convinced by that, don't get me wrong though, I do appreciate you are stateside and have a better understanding of American voters and how they are feeling. The reason I'm not convinced is if the Democrats had actually gone through a selection process it would have been someone fresh. Harris was seen as part of the problem already given she was part of the Biden regime and the Republicans, rightly, said "you've been shite for the past 4 years why on earth would it be any better this time round?" A new candidate could potentially have convinced voters they would be moving in a new direction which could have been enough to sway some of the swing states. I think Pie is spot on in that video i posted above when he talked about how Trump will defo make changes. They probably won't be good changes but the electorate had clearly had enough of being patronised by the political class and their supporters and this was "fuck you" vote just like brexit was if you ask me. I do fear for America and what he will do now, he will take the gloves off and push every limit he possibly can.

Pie sums it all up pretty well here.

When did MBT die?

The Democrats have fucked this entire election right from the off if you ask me. Allowing Biden to go for a second term initially despite the fact it was plainly obvious he's losing his mental faculties was a huge mistake. They then parachute in a candidate that is nowhere near as good as they could have had if Biden had just agree to do one term and proper selection process was carried out. This was another "fuck you" to the establishment vote imo and whilst wild horses couldn't make me vote for someone like trump I can understand why his message was appealing to the disaffected. What happens now will be grimly fascinating......

The Democrats have no-one to blame but themselves.

I'm not overly worried about a wobble 2bh. In fact I think it will be quite the opposite and we will go for their throats from the off. It will be very interesting to see what lineup Thelin goes with given the weekends result, I personally think he will make a couple of changes. Morris has earned a start to my eye though I think I would drop Topi whom whilst being very lively in general has been hoora wasteful at times. 3-0 dons Morris, and a Sokler brace.

I did a wee bit of dive into Mcgarrys minutes. Unless I missed any this is his game time so far this season. The last time we saw him was 12 mins vs queens park (notable to add for this one he came on when we were really chasing a goal, this was the game Keskinen scored on his debut to win it last minute) game 7 24 mins vs qos Game 1 17 vs east kilbride game 2 24 vs dumbarton game 4 and scored. He's been mostly warming the bench since but didn't make it a couple of times. Given Mackenzies form I don't think we can read too much into that but it would be really interesting to see a journo ask Thelin just how much Mcgarry was in his thoughts. I will say this though, when Mackenzie got booked against der hun it did look like Mcgarry was going to come on for a minute, I even recall Crocker mentioning it in commentary so that would imply that Thelin has some faith in him. As I said previously though, come the end of December we should have a much better idea of how much of a future he has at the club.
