Jamaica and the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Melissa have been largely dropped from the news agenda.

Tbf, what they're saying sounds good...at first. But the longer you listen, the more sideways it goes.
Black dude at my job who is a pretty regular sensible guy talking about he likes Nina Turner. The way a lot of Black folks are so gullible to these voter suppression opps is alarming.

The insanity of all this is even if you got rid of him, there's a line of folks behind him who are just as bad. Americans have voted themselves into ruin.

So that's NATO finished. Thank you US voters!
⚡️ US made 'no decision' yet on cutting military presence in Europe, Pentagon says.

"No decision has been made yet," the Pentagon said. "The U.S. commitment to NATO is strong, but the U.S. expects European allies to lead Europe's conventional defense."

“US fights a trade war while begging for eggs”

That is the top trending hashtag on Chinese social media platform Weibo overnight.

Trump has invited a hitherto unparalleled level of ridicule onto the US.

This collapse is extraordinary. I'm now convinced PSG sent Mbappe to ensure we don't win anything this year.
You don’t have to look hard to find Real Madrid’s incredible history of comebacks in European competition.

But even though the players, coaching staff and board were talking about a response against Arsenal, there are reasons why this time feels different.

🚨Bond market is in meltdown

China could now pull the coldest move in economic history. If it sells its Treasury positions, interest on debt will rocket & the US will go into a debt cost spiral.

It WOULD collapse the US economy. Trump has pushed the US to the edge of the cliff.

Pretty sure there was already the possibility he might move on, but if they fail to win anything this year, it's certain.
Diario AS say that Carlo Ancelotti's chances of managing #RealMadrid next season took a major hit on Saturday, beyond what happens in the final three months of the season.

Even if we somehow overcome this crisis, the damage is done. Our allies won't look at us the same because they'll know they simply can't afford to.

Aside from the current havoc, the lack of willingness to honor global commitments, responsibly govern and dangerous rhetoric at all govt levels mean that we can no longer be trusted and other nations will respond accordingly.
