In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) get the depressing job of reviewing United's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford to Liverpool. They discuss what went wrong, Casemiro's day to forget, and the pressure now on Erik Ten Hag. They also take some time to give McTominay a proper farewell, and give their overall thoughts on the Summer Transfer Window.
Cowards.
This is so cringe.
One of the reasons he was doing so well against Biden is because he looked strong. This is a weak look.
I think people find this transparently disingenuous stuff really off-putting.
Reminds me of Hillary Clinton.
This is.....insanely cringe.
Trump looks weak for not agreeing to debate Harris. Have to say I've not seen her debate before or come under sustained attack so not sure how she'd fare.
Vance looking a dumber pick now that Biden has dropped out I think.
Better to see this stuff up front than the shady deals (follow the money) going on propping up the other party in this Presidential election?
Yes yes I forgot to add the obligatory thesis about how much worse the Republican party is underneath my criticism of cringe Obama social media post. Just imagine I did it.
Trump says he won't debate her because she doesn't have Obama's support.
Obama drops a tweet showing they support her.
Seems pretty well worked again, no?

I agree cringe. But that’s all American politics for you.
I just mentioned a meme, I'm not comparing anything or anyone to nazis.
I simple don't see how you arrive to those conclusions when what we've seen so far is an administration that completely ignores any type of protests. Peaceful, violent, by muslims, by jews, in colleges, on the streets, on federal buildings, whatever. Nothing has moved the administration policy an inch. You seem to be treating this issue as if it were a normal issue, where things gradually improve and maybe in 2 or 3 cycles we have a shift. But this is an ongoing genocide. Some stats show almost 5% of the population of gaza has been killed already, over 90% have been injured or are experiencing malnutrition. This can't wait one or two elections, it's a now thing. And then those protesting it see a full house of their elected leaders applauding a genocidal criminal. You would need to be a fecking monk not to get absolutely enraged by it.
I noticed you edited the bit about portugal. It's not a touchy topic for me at all. I know we have a fecked up history of exploitation, genocide and slavery, there's no arguing against it. I just don't see how it relates to this discussion about an ongoing genocide.
Alternatively, Trump campaign wanted to coax Obama into publicly endorsing Harris early and it worked?
If they say the phone call was last week, they probably wouldn't have sat on it for much longer.
Ironic as the campaigns person is Steven Cheung.
That’s crazy, “Steven” is of Greek origin!
Had to google it. Learn something new every day.
I mean it’s clear Harris will now be the candidate so not sure what is served by that strategy the Republicans. Vance looks like a complete lunatic and Trump is having more and more meltdowns on social media.

Does this mean Michelle won’t run?
No. That’s her sore knee.
Palin polled better I believe. Sarah Palin. And that's when the dumb really started to manifest in Republican party.
Why 'sit on it' at all?
Is he really not sure?
If not, why not?
Are there things that still have to be unearthed about Harris, which the ex-President is worried about?
What is Obama doing, playing fast and loose?
Is he hanging back for bets?
Why is he afraid it may look like a coronation?
That fits in well with Trump, the description describes both of them
I thought that he was not a good choice even before Biden dropped out. I just couldn’t see the value added of this guy.
I agree , it's a coup!
I am not arguing with the bolded bit as it is undeniably true. The only way I see this (US policy) changing is by a groundswell of public and political support/pressure for a radical shift in how the US deal with Israel. You disagree with that conclusion so what is your alternative?
I did edit the Portugal part as, on reread, it sounded snarky and that was not the intent.
edit: removed a quote from @Ekkie Thump as I had clicked the wrong post to reply to.
Chicken Coop
If Kamala starts smashing out TV ad's using Vance's old quotes on Trump being guilty of rape, being "cultural heroin", his opinions on abortion and women in general etc, is there a world where Trump drops him from the ticket? Especially if he starts falling behind in polls.
He may see the boost the Dems making a switch has made and want to inject some energy again, as well as reversing a mistake he has made in picking Vance, at a time when he thought it was a done deal.
I don't think Trump picked JD Vance.
Ummmm... What?
Dropping Vance would be admitting he made a mistake, Trump never admits to making mistakes so I can't see it happening
Nah, all he has to do is say "you're fired" and the base laps it up.
His sons Don and Eric were apparently big on Vance. Believe Trump was previously leaning towards the boring Doug Burgum, which would've suited him much better given the similarly to Pence's personality. I think Trump will be pissed at his coke head son for leading him astray.
Even in their public statements, they cant help it with the racist dog whistles.
I mean, then bring up Obama, just so they can call him Barack Hussein, to imply he is a Muslim.
It is disgusting and it is desperate.
It seems Obama has now overcome his uncertainty/worries/shyness/ dragging his feet/hanging back for bets/ etc and is now backing Harris.
Good man Barack, that wasn't too hard now, was it?
Is it any different to footballers taking a staged call from their new manager? Or when getting a call telling them they have been picked for their national team?
