The BBC only ever criticizes from the right -- so Reform can criticize Tories, Tories can criticize Labout, etc.
No criticism from the left is allowed.

Does Corey Lewansowski leave with her, or does Mullen inherit him with the plane?

Arsenal are going to win the PL, and every post from their fans is whining about how unfair it is that nobody likes them.
I remember the Jose Mourinho/John Terry Chelsea -- until this year the least likeable PL winners in recent memory -- but I don't remember their fans expecting us to love them.
Pretty sure that if you tot up wars over the past 100 years or so, the left was on the right side more often than the right -- which was objectively pro-Hitler in the run up to WW2 and very happy to support the Iraq fiasco. And is now behind this latest insanity.

If history has taught us anything it is that the west is always happy for the Kurds to be cannon-fodder in Middle East conflicts.
And always ready to abandon them the moment is becomes convenient to do so.
I would love to see a real journalist ask Trump what second order effects he anticipates as a result of this conflict, and how his administration has made plans to deal with those effects?
Mainstream journalists won't ask, because his inevitable look of incomprehension would be embarassing.

Jasmine Crockett is a class act and I wish she had won.
Maybe Talarico will turn out better than I think. Hope so.

So... were we going to replace the old regime with our own good guys, who we accidentally killed?
Or were we going to replace them with more bad guys, in which case, what's the point?
Most likely scenario: a few weeks of bombing, new assholes take over from old assholes, Trump declares some kind of victory.
No boots on the ground, so no real attempt at regime change.
All-time great soundtrack.
