Little over two weeks after we got rid of an autocrat, a flood is raging parts of the country. We just can’t catch a break, can we?

On the other hand, perhaps you could think of it this way. Would you rather the flood with or without the (allegedly) corrupt autocrat?

:man_facepalming: :scream:

I mean it most certainly is very believable, and almost certainly true, but until it’s proven in a court of law…

Just yesterday, a suitcase full of foreign currency worth $77m was recovered from an Army General. The allegations of other corruptions/plundering amounting to an estimated $250 billion are also based on facts/preliminary investigations.

It’s just like Netanyahu. The evidence unearthed thus far suggest that he almost certainly is corrupt, but it’s not as though the label has stuck yet.

He is getting absolutely hammered in some of the report comments.
Not a very well liked pundit so it seems

I don’t know what Jermaine Jenas has done but if Steve McManaman can do the same I’d be forever grateful

Anyone surprised by the background of this stabber?

Probably not. Typical MO. We had a Red Cross facility attacked a couple of months back. Sabotaged comms cables. Neo Nazi or Russian. They’re not sure, but essentially the same thing.

Nope. Various factors have led to this shitshow.

The statement says they want to take revenge for the Palestinians and Muslims. So these people killed and injured were directly responsible for Palestinian and Muslim suffering. Must have done tons of research for them to dig that out.

It’s about the same level of logic used by the IDF and Israeli government.

He should walk away scot-free in court.
