I don't understand how this is news to a lot of Americans. Trump has been a grifter and con man for the whole of his life, never mind just his time in office.

My initial thought was that you were being facetious but Spain actually did this.🤣😂😅😂🤣👍👍 https://sports.Yahoo.com/articles/donald-trump-edited-spain-trophy-113223588.html Multiple articles about it.

Unfortunately it wasn't the best advertisement for football. Not a great game with some Argentinian players being really dirty and I think there should have been more warnings about ungentlemanly conduct. Ah well, never mind. EURO's in a couple of years. I liked how Carney just ignored the nonsense from Trump and got on with the job as a leader of a host nation. Just knew that Trump would insert himself into Spains celebrations at the end despite Infantino trying to get him off the stage. I haven't spoken with anyone who was actually in US but consensus that I am hearing is that America did well as a host and everyone had a great time.

"Trump says he's holding Canada responsible for wildfire smoke and threatens higher tariffs" https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/17/politics/trump-canada-wildfire-smoke-tariffs Does Trump really not remember when Canada sent firefighters to help with US fires? Has he not looked around the world and seen that a lot of it is on fire at the moment? The man is deranged and obviously either senile or psychotic. Either way, time for another cognitive test which I'm sure he will "ace".

This is what I wrote; Which ones am I incorrect? It was a quick example. Do I need to go through EVERY sport to see if it gives biological males an advantage over biological females? Could have said Horse Racing, Luge, almost any of the downhill Winter sports. You need to get over this compulsion to just automatically disagree with anything I write.

I have transgender members of my family plus have worked with others over the years. Exactly my point, biological males have an advantage over biological females st sports. Didn't say they were athletic competition, but they are competition where gender does not matter.

Just as an add on to my previous post about Trump and red cards. Will England get their red card rescinded or is it just Americans this works for? And, it is going to be interesting to see what happens when US play Belgium tonight. I see Belgium are thinking of asking for the USA to be thrown out of the competition. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/39669323/folarin-balogun-usa-belgium-world-cup-red-card-fifa/ All the comments on social media I'm seeing are saying that Trump would find some way to make USA win becuase he is such a manbaby. There were even jokes and memes going about that games are to be played until USA wins or their opponents have been deported so that USA wins what will henceforth be known as The Donald Trump World Cup.

Just off the top of my head I was thinking things like Bowls (not Bowling which isn't a big sport in UK although a lot of people play it as a hobby) also Snooker, Billiards, Curling. These are all televised competitions and all can be played by either sex with no advantage. Can also include things like Poker or Chess.

And here we go... Trump cheating and grifting as usual so that the rules don't apply to America. Don't know whats worse, Trump doing his usual or FIFA bowing down to him and allowing it to happen? So what happens if the USA gets beat? Will Trump demand a recount of the goals? Will he get on the phone to someone and see if "they can find him just a few more goals?" Infantino will find himself in a whole heap of trouble after this. "Donald Trump repeatedly lobbied Fifa to lift Balogun's suspension, with sources saying the US president made three calls to Fifa, starting on Wednesday, after Balogun was sent off in the USA's 2-0 last-16 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, to ensure the change was made." https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/2026/07/06/uefa-accuses-fifa-of-crossing-a-red-line-over-lifting-of-folarin-baloguns-red-card/

Ask George Floyd and others like him about institutional racism. Look about you for the others.

You still can't tell the difference between Socialism and Communism - please read a book! What autonomy? I don't know what you do in your part of the world, but over here the medical staff decide your treatment. If you disagree you are completely free to ask for a second opinion or go private. Pay out of pocket? In Scotland thanks to the government I don't pay for parking at our hospitals, I don't pay for medicines that are prescribed. Biggest expenditure when visiting hospitals is the coffee I buy. Oh and the last time I was in hospital the only thing I paid for was my daily newspaper and anything I wanted off the trolley. Your "truly free healthcare system" would be anytthing but and would probably exclude even more people than it does just now. I paid into our system with every pay packet I received whether it was monthly or weekly since I left school and started working. I paid National Insurance which did exactly what it said. I received unemployment benefit when I was unempolyed and I received healthcare as and when I needed it free at the point of use. No one in the UK is afraid to call for an ambulance in case they get charged for it. As I've said, the NHS does have problems, not denying it, but when it comes to the life saving stuff they are excellent. Unfortunately for the life enhancing stuff you have to join a waiting list, but you get there and it doesn't cost a penny. In fact, some hospitals are getting other hospitals to take over and do operations so that the waiting list can come down. This means going to a different city, but they will pay for you to get there and back if needed. Is that the same as RFK jr. taking over HHS? https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2026/02/13/rfk-jr-year-as-health-secretary/88607416007/ THE GOVERNMENT DO NOT DICTATE CARE IN THE UK. Costs are different in UK so salaries are different. With my salary I was able to buy a house, buy cars, go on holiday, save money. What more do you need? Also, I am free to go anywhere I want to work to increase my wage. I can't be fired with no reason because there are laws in place to protect workers. (Socialism NOT Communism in action). Oh, as an afterthought. I had 6 weeks paid annual leave plus about 10 separate days holiday a year. (e.g. Christmas Day and Boxing Day were 2 days but were not included in my annual leave) I have no idea what PMHNP is so can't compare or contrast. I was an ENP.

Actually, I agree with this to a certain extent. Sports where strength and speed matter then yes - no transgender because they have an advantage. However, sports where you do not require these things but require skill and knowledge then it makes no difference because females are just as good as, if not better than men. Shocker! Grumpy agrees with Beerman on something.🤣😂 🎼It's the 🎵 end of the 🎶 world as we 🎼 know it.🎶🎵
