Alan Minter losing to Marvin Hagler

Alan Minter losing to Marvin Hagler

Alan Minter taking a beating from Marvin Hagler in 1980 after announcing β€˜no black man is going to take my title’.

And his wife and child. I’m sure he’s proper pissed.

He’s been heavily involved in setting the Basij on young Iranians and has shifted millions of dollars out of Iran. I believe he has a London property portfolio.

The bloke is a cunt and I hope they kill him.

We love a windmill over here.

Trump is particularly pissed off about European windmills because Scotland sited some off the coast in view of his golf course. He kicked up a big stink about it but got nowhere.

Peeps have a weak grasp of history.

Yup. 30000 dead in January and no weapons; i think the Iranians will be reluctant to come out.

It’s still making me laugh though. We had a man but we shot him.

She was a solid defence attorney and she’s been a solid congresswoman. I think she’s great.

Peeps on the left are inclined to stick the knife in if a professional politician doesn’t back every whim they have.

Apparently for the rest of the year. She had to vacate her House seat to stand for the Senate.

I asked elsewhere.

We’re watching wide eyed and jaws on the floor from Europe. Your country is insane.

Did anyone else cry with laughter at Trump …..

β€œWe don’t know who’s going to take over. We had some people in mind but we killed them all”.

I found so much dark humour in both the irony and stupidity. And crass brutality. Biggest laugh Ive had in years.

America is fucking insane. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Congratulations from England. I was hoping for a Jasmine Crockett win because she’s impressed me for years. But you’re the man and I will be hoping you can win the seat.

Yes it was a genuine question. I’m in the UK and don’t fully understand how the mechanics of your politics work. I’m going to miss watching her savaging Republicans.

Gotta admit I’m fucking sickened by the yanks sinking a frigate and killing all those people just because they could. It wasn’t necessary.

Shameful.

It was annoying that there were two strong candidates fighting for the nomination. Hopefully she’ll get another bite at the cherry.

I’m a deflated Brit. Congress needs women like Jasmine Crockett.

What’s the likely next move for her?

Israel has not sided with Russia. Israel has avoided condemning Russia for strategic reasons, ie getting into grief with Russia when Russian forces were in Syria.

Iran sided with Russia by sending them shitloads of drones to kill Ukrainian civilians. Israel sent non military aid to Ukraine.

That sounds like wishful thinking. With Iran, Hamas, Syria and Hezbollah out of the way things will settle back down towards how they were before 7/10. There isn’t much in the way of terror groupings for western students to cheer on any more.

Excuse me!!!

I’m pretty sure they’ve stated that your country is bombing the crap out of Iran on God’s authority.

Argentina. Bombing.

Assassinations here there and everywhere. They’re much worse than even Russia for that.

Oh Jesus effin’ Christ.

The yanks think they’re doing gods will, bombing allahs holy bastards with the Torah bashing Israelis.

Meanwhile Russian Orthodox priests are anointing any Russian troops that are still alive before they go raping and murdering in Ukraine.

I find it fucking hilarious

04.03.2026 00:11 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Meanwhile, in Russia, Orthodox priests are blessing Putin’s army of toothless drunks and telling them too, that they’re doing gods work.

Sort yourselves out America.

Apparently the US military is being told that it’s God’s will that they attack Iran. They think they’re fulfilling some biblical prophesy. πŸ˜‚

They’re no different to the crazy Islamist bastards they’re bombing tbh. Foaming religious whack-jobs.

Hey Americans.

It looks like you’re subsidising my diesel. Thank you very much.

Your President says β€œNo matter what, the United States will ensure the free flow of energy to the world,”
It signals a willingness to use financial tools to prevent disruptions to global crude supplies.
