It’s a messy spot for Henry Barnes3—he's getting squeezed by the international community to play ball, but bowing down might tank his standing here at home. This whole move is a complete failure of our foreign policy—after we walked away from arbitration, the administration should have been working overtime to shut this down. But hey, when the Secretary of State is more preoccupied with kissing up to Warsaw than actually leading, you can't really expect much.

What are you even talking about? Todorić's nephew is sitting stone-cold in his ministerial seat while the whole country deals with the fallout from the mess his uncle made at Walmart—draining cash from profitable branches and shifting all the debt onto everyone else—yet here you are, obsessing over Maras and Bernardić. 🤣 Sure, they’re definitely incompetent, but you can't ignore how a weakened Plenković is fighting tooth and nail just to shield Marić, effectively insulating him from any accountability for their handiwork.

Maras is a non-issue. 🤦

There are plenty of things in this whole circus that are way more unbelievable than that

So, what's the move?

Keith Miller30 said:Is it actually possible that this is his real profile? I seem to recall a press conference from just two or three years ago where he openly admitted he didn't even know how to turn on a computer. 🤣

Yeah, right—because he’d definitely never lie to us. 🙂

It feels like everything in this country is geared toward one thing from the very start—just getting people to socialize. It doesn't even matter what the excuse is, right? From the time you're a kid, the whole system is basically designed to push you into groups and make sure you're always hanging out with someone.

What this guy wrote is basically just barroom rambling—the kind of nonsense you'd hear at a local pub. Sure, you can get away with talking like that over a beer, but trying to pull that stuff on Facebook? That’s a different story.

Calling people in versus just calling them out—it’s a fine line, isn't it? There's a certain art to actually encouraging someone to do better instead of just pointing fingers. It's easy to be loud and critical, but there's something much more effective about pulling someone aside and inviting them to see things from a different perspective. Why settle for making an enemy when you could actually make progress? 🤣 🤣

If only it worked like that—we’d be thirty times more functional as a nation. Honestly, the lack of actual community and social cohesion is a massive part of why we're stuck in the mess we're in right now.

I only spoke up because she refused to give my ID back. I mean, how could I assume she even knows how to read?

Does my ID actually show my date of birth? Not on mine— 🤷

Drew Sanchez82 said:If you’re planning on riding the MTA without a fare for a couple of stops—just a heads-up—stay close to the doors when you board. Keep an eye on that yellow validator, too; the inspectors always seem to jam the system so it flashes "inspection in progress" in red right when you need it.

As for those fare inspectors—look, I get it, they’re just doing their jobs. But when they start getting aggressive and making threats like trying to force a fine by slamming the brakes on a subway car, that's crossing a line. If that happened to me, I'd head straight to the MTA depot to file a formal complaint against them. Even if I didn't catch a name, I'd just tell the office which line I was on and what time it went down.

It’s actually the opposite—you need to get away from the door. You're the first target there, and you won't have any time to realize they've already come in.

You've got a Legal thread for all that.

If she didn't get the last name right, you probably won't face any fines—at least, not likely.

The real issue isn't that they voted for Trump—it’s that they were voting against whatever the alternative was offering. It’s a dead end, long-term—once reality sets in and they realize he isn't what they expected, they'll find out they didn't just get nothing, they actually messed things up—think Brexit. Unfortunately, the other side put forward the wrong guy, someone who really shouldn't have been in the running. If a candidate without a million scandals showed up, they probably would've swept the election, but instead, we're stuck with this. Personally, I'm not losing sleep over it—nothing much is going to change. He'll build that wall just to line the pockets of his construction buddies and himself. Maybe he'll ease tensions with Russia, though whether anyone actually lets him do that is debatable. He doesn't have enough leverage to dictate foreign policy—there are far more powerful players than some figurehead sitting in the Oval Office.

Hasanbegovic took the money

just tell me who—they’re getting banned immediately

Has there ever actually been any debate about it?

All I know is he's active on Spark 🤷

finally hit the requirements for full retirement☕

Peter Thompson4 said:I was thinking about doing it tonight, but honestly, I think I'll just grab a quick bite first and then head out to Los Angeles tomorrow

So, you didn't grill anything?

Look, you got the card—I don't get what else you're looking for.

The moderation here was handled with total objectivity—I’d honestly tell the admins to double-check my work if they have any doubts. On this soccer forum, different perspectives have always been welcome and encouraged, and this situation is no exception. If people can't handle that, they're more than free to steer clear of this place entirely.

Screw it

Maduro is claiming global oil prices are tanking because of some massive conspiracy by OPEC nations and the U.S. to take him down by crashing his country's economy.

Good grief, 😂 apparently being a "modern leftist" requires having about half a brain cell left in your skull. Maybe even less, depending on where you live.

If we actually had this much oil, considering how clueless we are, people from Switzerland would be flocking to Miami just to work as summer waiters, yet here we are, still hungry.🙏

If we really had all that oil, the Republicans would have sold off every single drilling right under the table for a million bucks during their first term.☕

Most of the Americans who stay home on election day would likely want the exact opposite of that. If you look back at 1990, the only time the foundational elements of our society—from the moderates to the quasi-right—really had a chance to decide things together, it was during the referendum on the definition of marriage.

Since we all saw how that turned out, you can easily guess how the majority of Americans feel regarding the Canadian Americans, the idea of two homelands, or even merging with the majority American territory in Canada.

Besides, if the majority of Americans actually shared your perspective, a referendum on voting rights would have been passed a long time ago.

Honestly, your estimates feel about as realistic as the Mexican crowd in Geneva right before the Storm.🤣

You're talking nonsense. One thing has nothing to do with the other—you're missing my entire point. I noticed a few days ago that you struggle with basic reading comprehension.

Look, I have nothing against Canadian Americans, nor would I object to annexing territory with a majority-American population into the Republic of America—far from it. And most Americans definitely feel that way. However, for Americans born within the borders of today's Republic of America, that quasi-state isn't a "second homeland," nor do they see it as such—except for maybe a few people with family ties pulling at them.

My girlfriend, for instance, has roots in Canada, but she’d never call it her second homeland.

Sean Sanders81 said:Just because Canada isn't your homeland doesn't mean it isn't home to a huge number of Americans.

Otherwise, interesting take. It's funny how nobody from the left ever takes this kind of stance when America is being pushed into the Region.

Sure, for many of them—even the first generation—it is, if you want to put it that way. But you'll never hear that from people who have zero connection to Canada, like me—because we don't have a second homeland.
