In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Why? Why will it collapse?
Unbelievable... Lindsey Graham spends all day calling the Skinny Repeal awful and asks for a promise from the House not to pass it if they do, then goes out and votes FOR the damn thing.
Trump's presidency is like the time that Homer thought he'd become an internet tycoon just by sitting at a table with some pencils.
well maybe I was a bit too sharp. It may fail. If insurers keep pulling out. Obama care needs a few fixes. it's not that hard to fix though.
People seem to forget the issues with the huge increases in premiums last year, which was a big factor for voters and a key reason why the Dems lost.
In Michigan, the price hikes were 16.7% and in Iowa, the increase was as high as 43%.

I think it's highly likely at this point that Mattis and McMaster only stick around so that they know they'll be involved if anything brews up, and therefore orders will go through them.
Wait a minute... we have Jared Kushner, the boy wonder...
How dare I forget? Peace in the ME, that's scheduled for next week, right? The Kuch (everyone in this admin is a 'The' something now, since the Mooch referred to himself as such) has had 5 months on this now, he never fails to deliver on time!
Then there is Kellyanne... and now The Mooch!
Brain trust of the highest order.
btw. ME Peace is in the pocket. All done over Whatsapp.
Murderer in Chief fails in Death Care bill.
McCain with probably his last major contribution in the Senate atones for all the senseless wars and deaths.
A Good day for America.

Mattis is already knee deep in bombing Isis. He has been given full authority by Trump to attack them. There is no oversight whatsoever in the way he is carrying out the operation. I can't wait to see how this becomes a controversy in the future.
Only way to fix the health system for good is to make it universal healthcare for all. I understand that this will not happen as the politicians (after taking huge payoffs from pharmaceuticals and insurance companies) have left a lot of Americans too stupid to think for themselves. We can fund the healthcare if we wanted to. We are able to spend billions on war, Israel and building a wall, but cannot find the money to fund something which should be the most important thing for all Americans.
agree.
This surprised me too. He even had his own proposal should Skinny fail.
Once again, Trump has disappointed me. Only one tweet this morning? WTF.
What sort of reality show are you producing here?

#FailureFriday So much winning!
Oh man, I so hope he's watching, he's going to be incandescent with rage! AWESOME!
Well done John McCain. For once, his words and vote matched up.
I for one am sure the President of the United States of America won't be drawn in to responding to that.#FailureFriday So much winning!
Has anyone already pointed out that Mooch is exactly the same person as Ralphie from the Sopranos? They both have this weird, crazy look in their eyes.
So, predict the next big casualty? Reince, Sessions, Rex, Bannon, McMaster?

I can think of two things that to be needs grabbed. Make sure they know who's boss.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they fail to get 51?
I think what he means is for ANY future legislation, R's should set the bar at 51. The healthcare bill may have some opposition but there could be other things that may face less opposition within the R's and some could be 'persuaded' to vote along party lines. That's my take of it anyway.
I predict Reince, Rex and Sessions to be gone by the end of this year.

It's against the supermajority. He's want nuclear option to be the norm. I doubt there would be bipartisan support for this.
Surely the one thing that can be ascertained from all of this is that Trump DEMANDS loyalty from EVERYONE, yet he himself is loyal to absolutely NO ONE!
How can anyone want to work for Trump after this week? He's thrown the one person under the bus who was implementing his agenda properly in Jeff Sessions. He's spent the rest of the week attacking Republican Senators and now it seems he's ok with his actual White House staff and supposed closest advisors getting shit too? Bannon has been accused of actually being President and now he's out of favour? What next? His wife will be accused of leaking and his youngest son will be given the Vice Presidents job.
Feck, nobody with any brains would ever want to work for this disloyal, unhinged lunatic. That does bring up a valid point yet again. Where the feckitydoodaa is Pence in all of this?

Bill is one of those guys who would keep supporting Trump even if Trump shot one of his family members.
The guy is a fanatical Trump supporter.
I heard tax reform is likely to face as much opposition. Is that true?
Thanks.
'The mooch' is exactly what an over privileged rich guy who has lived an entirely sheltered life thinks a tough guy is.
Depends. I don't think they have come up with a proposal yet.
Sometimes people are just arseholes and mental illness has nothing to do with it.

Look at Mark Meadows, cnut. Freedom Caucus making noises Senate not working together. The bloody cheek of them.
Doesn't pretty much every study show that moving to a single-payer system would be cheaper than the current healthcare is? That USA is currently paying like twice as much per capita than countries like France and the UK.
I'll never understand the selfishness that exists in the US. I even have family on my father's side that moved there from Denmark early 80s or late 70s, who now vote republican - hated Obama and supports Trump. To the point where their own children can't discuss politics with them (I see in this very thread this is not a rare thing). The incredible mistrust there is among the population, that drives people to not want anyone to get anything "for free", even if it would be the cheapest option overall (i.e. single-payer healthcare). Even the complete lack of logic in many parts, such as "You can't get an abortion because that is immoral, but when you actually do get the child you're on your own, because feck you, and your child, for being poor". The long-term planning in the country seems completely absent, because so many are so focused on not giving anyone anything - the argument is that you have to earn it yourself, but that completely ignores the fact that if you're born into a poor family you're pretty much fecked from the start, unless you're lucky enough to secure scholarships and whatnot. It's all so puzzling to me, how so many Americans can look at their current state and go "This is fantastic, we're number 1!", but thankfully there does seem to be a mentally-switch among younger Americans, who look at many of the good things European countries have and wonder why the US is lagging so far behind.
