I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

trump should’ve been in handcuffs in jan 2021 and there is no way to quantify just how much human suffering will result from the disastrous decision to slow walk his prosecution or even avoid it altogether

AOC is exactly right; we're going to see ICE used to fill concentration camps with immigrants and opponents of the regime.
It's going to happen on an industrial scale that's in line with examples we associate with the worst regimes of the 20th century.
It's happening here.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Cardiff being Union owned has already impacted the way they're officiated, some bizarre decisions going their way.

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now
This is the text of the email just sent to hundreds of international students telling them that their visas have been revoked due to activism or social media posts.

POM has spent this match diving at French knees well late of them getting rid of the ball. How he's still getting away with it is amazing.

And he guides them over the line with a minute to go. This league isn't fair.
The refereeing in Belfast is consistently incredible. Huge, nonsense decisions flowing the home team's way. Not getting 50/50s away from home is expected but every time we play in Ulster there seems to be some incredibly poor stuff from the person with the whistle.

It's an interesting decision to have watched Cardiff over the last 15+ years and pick everyone who has any association to them to turn around the fortunes of a struggling Welsh side.

I think England had more luck in that game than Wales did throughout the Jam Slam tournament, but fair play to them for sticking in there against a superior but flakey opposition

Another disappointing missed opportunity by the Scarlets to actually put in a performance in front of the most loyal fans and build some momentum.
We've had so many chances and great field position but the mistakes have been awful.
Gloucester looked like they knew how to attack and defend us.

The Scarlets didn't have an attack coach and couldn't score. Hired Blackett and they looked good. They didn't replace him and now can't score against a good team again.
Dwayne can't get these players clicking by himself and he needs support or to be replaced with someone who can.

That's the end of the easy block of fixtures for the Scarlets and we arguably could be unbeaten in the league. It's going to get a lot tougher now so the team needs to start stepping up asap.

Then officiating in this Scarlets v Black Lion game has been ridiculous, zero control and the players have no idea what's going on.
The game has been going on for 95 minutes + HT and there is still 16 minutes to go.

Craig Casey was looked after quite well by the Stade player all told, as stupid as that effort was. I see retaliation isn't a thing in this game though.

It's very depressing to think the 4 pro clubs look like they're going to hand over the keys to the WRU despite the complete mess of things the WRU have made of things and the irreparable damage they've caused.
Unless it's this or bust, I can't see any reason why they should agree to the deal.
