In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Useless. If anything, I'd say with the pandemic, and the protests refusing to die, have dispelled the stupid notion that voting leads to change.
Medical examiner saying it was a Homicide, result of being restrained.
I mean, cause he sure as shit ain’t leaving his secure location.
Here is the call Trump made to the Governors today. The guy's a fecking moron.

How do the GOP allow this guy to continue without checking him?

Edit: the county examiner finally pulled his finger out
Can't see him/her going against that. But anythings possible.
He signs the cheques, so they don't care if he's Hitler with rabies.
Does that make the cop culpable?
I say we just get it over with, Gangs of New York Five Points style. Everyone bring their fists, bats, whatever and let's just fight for the country. Get it over with as it's been boiling over since the 60s. White racist asshats and Trump/GOP asslickers versus everyone else.

I wasn’t making my comment based on what you have quoted. My point merely stands for ALOT of people currently posting quotes or some form of copy and paste sentence they have found. It’s meaningless garbage that doesn’t change attitudes. Just like rioting and vandalising. What justice is that bringing to the death of George Floyd exactly?
Surely it would be better to wait until the court hearing is done before creating a shit storm, which might I add is in the midst of a pandemic where people should not be in small groups let alone mass gatherings. The vast majority of people that go to those things don’t even know what they are fighting for. They just want a bit of anarchy, an adrenaline rush, have their 5 minutes against the establishment. That’s all it ever is. As someone posted previously we have seen this time and time again specifically in America and nothing ever changes.
The AG walking behind the police. Must feel proud.
Apart from obvious money involved, this is a side effects of identity politics. The GOP knows that a large support base has been formed by people who want to show the middle finger to experienced politicians. It is Trump that they love. Ditching Trump may be handing over power to the Democrats.
Looks like the cop is looking behind them.
Why does the pic look like 2 pics stuck together? Or is it just the angle
Voting doesn’t lead to change? Seriously?! You don’t think Trump being voted in to power has changed anything? That’s a strange notion.
Don Lemon is slaying Barr right now. Hilarious takedown. "Photo op when the National Guard is in full force outside."
The cartel is closing ranks and fixing the narrative.
'Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has said it is also assisting with response to the ongoing protests in Washington DC, raising further concerns about an escalation by law enforcement.
Here’s an announcement from the acting commission who has repeated the president’s talking points about domestic terrorism and “agitators”. There has been little evidence to support claims of outside people agitating crowds on the ground as protests have swelled in cities across the nation, attracting a wide range of people and organizations condemning police violence:
@CBPMarkMorgan
CBP personnel have deployed to the National Capital Region to assist law enforcement partners. These “protests” have devolved into chaos & acts of domestic terrorism by groups of radicals & agitators. @CBP is answering the call and will work to keep DC safe.'

Secret Service with the round shields like proper pretorians.
So no protests have ever worked then? Good to know. Silly people to keep trying them then. That's everyone told.
It's an administration of thugs.
Curfew coming up soon . And the protesters showing no signs of leaving.
The feck are MPs doing there ? Bizarre.
It is 2 pics stuck together. Maybe more.
Police moving forward. What for?
They are used for dispersing crowds. Going to be interesting if they don't move on following curfew.
Poor fecks remind me of those guarding Hector and Paris in Troy. Lucky for them, they're armed and the "opposition" is not. I'd wager a few would rather not defend that asshole in the White House but it is their job/order.
The coward is about to crawl out of his little bunker
They are desperate to escalate the violence aren't they?
To be fair, that might be worth a shot.
We all know how much Americans love their snacks.
The police are clearing the streets outside the White House by firing tear gas at a peaceful protest. I appreciate they are going to enforce a curfew and disperse the crowd but it looks awfully heavy handed.
I kinda wonder if Trump's play here is to say some words knowing he's going to incite persons already emotionally charged. He wants carnage.

His strategy throughout all of this was to use unequivocal terror through brutality.
Moronic decision. Tomorrow people won't be unarmed.
I mean..we are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel here with these types of contrarian arguments. Sign of the times.
