Rumbled!

Putin was in town when it happened and a second bomb was defused at a different station. Could be a political motive.

Too early to know.

A bomb on a train in St Petersberg has killed 11 people and injured many more.

Even then we'd only be looking at a chance of a playoff spot which is three times more likely to end in disappointment than promotion. Next season we need to be looking at what is required for a top 2 spot.

How does an unelected house of review and an unelected head of state fit in to that? Presumably you must also favour a US style republic for the UK?

It's on!

It's like a sitcom sketch

Recently I think they have been a bit chastened by the passion shown for the legislation by ordinary voters who would be dead without it.

Interestingly the Koch bothers set up a fund to support Republicans who were willing to vote against Trumpcare (although I believe it was because they had thought Trumpcare was too generous to the poor...).

Sorry I have to pull you up on this because that's a bunch of crap. Judging a person for their opinions (be it Trump, a Muslim or whoever) is perfectly justifiable. Judging (and then enacting a punishment on) a whole group because of the opinions of a proportion of that group is not justifiable. Clearly the two instances are different.

Id does seem to be a common correlation though that people hate / fear the things they don't understand.

I don't see that written anywhere in anyone's post. It seems you have come here with a preconceived agenda.

There was a pretty good documentry on the Aus equivalent of the BBC other night called 'The price of the American dream'. It looks at the huge increase in numbers of 'working poor' in the US since 2008. People are easily able to get jobs at the moment and the economy is growing rapidly, companies are making big profits, but the fast majority of those new jobs are low paid, part time with no benifits. People work 2-3 jobs doing 70-80 hours a week but still only make $1-2k per month and cant afford to save a deposit to rent a place, a lot of them are actually living in tent cities or short term accomodation shelters. Watching these peoples lives you can see why they were desperate for a radical change and Clinton would not have provided it. Trump was promising to be that radical shake up of the system. Even if these people didnt agree with everything Trump stood for it was enough to get a significant chunk of voters to vote for the radical change candidate over the status quo. A lot of them have very little to lose anyway. http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2017/03/13/4633037.htm Edit: I suspect it will be region blocked but you can watch the full thing here: http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/four-corners/NC1704H006S00

Yeah poor kids probably just needed the extra motivation of not eating, it's actually quite smart when you think about it.

Apparently the justification for cutting meals on wheels for the elderly and school dinners in poverty stricken schools is essentially that the programs are not directly making the government any money. http://www.scarymommy.com/trump-budget-director-cut-programs-feeding-kids-and-elderly/

I suspect they might be a little more successful this time around.

We don't have a consistent finisher (maybe Hogan could be that player?). Kodja needs at least half a dozen good chances to score and our midfield can chip in but we can't rely on them for consistent goals. It will need to be addressed before next season starts.

He is just distracting attention from the latest heat he was getting over Russia.

Three wins on the bounce will have given everyone confidence and attitudes around the dressingroom will be a lot better than they were two weeks ago. If we can continue the good form to the end of the seaon and have a settled summer/preseason I will feel a lot better about next season.

No surprise we have started winning again now he has returned from injury.

Not to speak for Davkaus but I don't think he said or implied any such thing. Indeed in the very post you quote he says the Democrats 'have problems' and called them 'pretty shit'. I think you might have misread his post.

Could we convince him to come here?

Well we were the better side. That doesn't mean much when looking at the score board. I expect Newcastle to go on and win fairly comfortably from here though.
