BBC News "Let's show you the events from Day 6 ..."

Jesus fucking Christ, it's not the Winter Olympics, it's an illegal fucking war instigated by Israel, and funded and facilitated by their paedo puppet in the White House, but yeah sure, the BBC are clearly totally fucking fine with all of it!

"Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by POTUS & yours truly... so you should be thanking me really. Hey, why not start right now? Everyone here thank me! And call me Lord while you do it.. Lord Hegseth. That's right, that'll teach those kids to laugh at me in the schoolyard."

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]

A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

I Murder Hate
Robert Burns

I murder hate by flood or field,
Tho’ glory’s name may screen us;
In wars at home I’ll spend my bloodβ€”
Life-giving wars of Venus.
The deities that I adore
Are social Peace and Plenty;
I’m better pleas’d to make one more,
Than be the death of twenty.

I would not die like Socrates,
For all the fuss of Plato;
Nor would I with Leonidas,
Nor yet would I with Cato:
The zealots of the Church and State
Shall ne’er my mortal foes be;
But let me have bold Zimri’s fate,
Within the arms of Cozbi!

In 1787, Robert Burns acquired a diamond-tipped pen which he used to inscribe poems on windows & chimney-pieces across Scotland. β€œI Murder Hate” is Burns’s version of β€œmake love, not war” #graffiti, & was etched into a window at the Globe Tavern, Dumfries

I want West Ham to stay up purely for the fact that I like Nuno, and I want any team who treated him unfairly to go down instead. Forest treated him worse than Spurs, plus I'm from Derby, so Forest are that team. 🀣

I reckon Man Utd are going to come out absolutely laying siege to Newcastle's goal 2nd half.

West Ham have just scored, and Forest have just conceded, meaning Forest have just dropped into the relegation zone.
