🦆 Lame Duck in Chief? Peter Rothpletz on the GOP, at long last, *maybe* moving on from Donald Trump, Megyn Kelly musing about gradations of pedophilia, South Park’s erotic swipe at MAGA, and even more Epstein bombshells.

“MAGA’s grand poobah, Donald Trump, appears to be, rather clearly, either an actual predator himself or a man perfectly comfortable looking the other way in the presence of such depravity.” - from Zeteo’s First Draft email newsletter this morning, on Trump and Epstein and the fracturing GOP:

Beating Portugal changed how people see the Ireland team. Long may it last The chances of making the World Cup are still pretty slim but suddenly there’s an energy that has been missing for too long

This Irish bus commuter will take encouragement in Norwegian to drink as well🍻🍻 Good episode👍👍

A largely frustrating gme for a long time, but those last ten minutes had me shouting loudly and rudely enough to be yelled at by the wifey: "No need make such a fuss, you wanker!" Yes, yes ,there was and always will be. A lovely win!! Just a grand way to end a game!!

Our joint appeal with ANS & FC Bayern against the extreme restrictions being placed on Bayern fans for the club’s #UCL match versus PSG has been rejected.

The conditions being imposed are totally shameful. 1/7

I find this to be much to accurate.

The Irish drunkards will fight alongside the Norwegian ferry commuters should you need it. I say this as a member of their tribe.

Its like Frank Zappa said after getting the crowd to shout Sieg Heil at a concert in Germany: You Germans never learn.

The amount of intolerance towards the Irish and Dutch is concerning. You Germans and your intolerance towards others have proven detrimental to Europe before.

If they have a King , a local Jesus and an east German cancer survivor on their side we might be in a bit of bother with Bochum😅😅

The most spectacular costume of 2025? That honor belongs to…

What else to expect from the thief in chief.

Good for Tiago letting the wee cunt Amiri have a bit back after his celebration in front of Stuttgart fans when he put away the pen. Shows he cares. More pettiness in football , I say! And good for his teammates backing him when the Mainz losers took umbrage because they are so tender and precious.

Millions of Americans could lose food aid and health insurance. Not to worry: Donald Trump is really, really focused… on his multi-million-dollar ballroom. Read @swin24.bsky.social’s inside scoop.

One of the better photographs depicting modernity, I'd say:

As an Irishman who many times have had a few_and sometimes more than a few- too many, I`ll buy that🍻

Aye, same for the Norwegians! I think you`ll be there for the first time in about a generation.

What is it with this Northern Ireland football slander on your pod? I hope the Ohio youth soundly egg your house on Halloween.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

Relatively upbeat,not tired. We came close to getting a decent result against one of the better teams in Europe and I`ll take that. 🎶We`re not Brazil, we`re Northern Ireland🎶 But I suspect we had differing perspectives and allegiances last night,what with you being Schwabian diaspora 😜😜
