Of course, you are a sketch as well for taking cheap shots at Pope to include mocking him today with that cheer.
Hey it wasn't my doing. He did the cheer on his own. Personally, I thought it was in bad taste to do that while he was at BYU.

So I'm sketch for posting a gif the currently despised coach did on his own.
Ok

It's federal charges and a Fed court, not NY. Now if you'd said Pam Bondi............
Hellerstein is the judges name. Clinton appointee who has ruled against Trump in the past in other cases. The original charges were brought by Barr in 2020 and are related to an investigation that has been going on for about 15 years. That is why New York district and this court is handling it.

So wait, America is now in control of and running the country of Venezuela? LMAO

Yeah, this thread would've had an absolute fit over us doing this up until this morning. Man, what happened to "let's only focus on OUR country" and "no more bombings and war" and look at this thread now. Some here actually would celebrate if Trump tried to take over Canada or Mexico.

The brainwashed people that support them are straight up dumb AF. Yeah, I said it. You gotta be dumb or you simply want to be a slave at this point.




Also not a coincidence that this happens just days after Netanayahu comes to visit.

The racist Canadian is all about "money" but somehow wants all of the people with money from whom he leaches that money... to die. He's exactly the racist lowlife he projects onto others constantly.

What's worse is that he comes here perpetually, even after being banned repeatedly, because the reality is he has such a low opinion of himself that he needs the attention of others for validation. This site is his opium and he is a crackhead attention addict.

That's what happens when you have no value except what's on your paycheck. We all feel sorry for the people that have to deal with him, but we need to stop feeding the addicted troll
I put that chump on Ignore earlier today. Don’t give him the attention he so desperately craves.

Pope is a great guy, extremely likable. That said, I’m getting a growing conviction that he’s not the right guy for UK BB.

HOW MADURO HAS DESTROYED LIFE INSIDE VENEZUELA
By U.S. EMBASSY TBILISI

The misrule, oppression and corruption of the illegitimate regime headed by Nicolás Maduro has caused widespread economic suffering and societal collapse in Venezuela.

The 2019–2020 National Survey of Living Conditions (ENCOVI, for Encuesta Nacional de Condiciones de Vida) — published by researchers at Andrés Bello Catholic University in Caracas — details how basic infrastructure, the labor market and education have deteriorated since 2014.
The United Nations estimated that in 2020, 7 million Venezuelans — 25 percent of the population — were in need of humanitarian assistance, while an astonishing 96 percent of Venezuelans lived in poverty, according to ENCOVI.
Daily water and electricity are increasingly unavailable, according to the report. Only 77 percent of the population has access to piped running water, and three-quarters of that group say they experience frequent service disruptions. News reports have featured scenes of people using open water in the street for bathing, cooking and drinking.

Thanks to regime-imposed government blackouts and the general degradation of electrical service across the country, 90 percent of Venezuelans do not have reliable access to electricity, the report says. Outside of Caracas in states like Zulia, Bolívar and Barinas, lights reportedly go out for days at a time.
ENCOVI’s survey data show the Maduro regime’s repression, corruption and economic mismanagement have driven 44 percent of Venezuela’s working adults into unemployment.
A closer look at that data shows the employment situation is even worse. The number of workers in the formal job sector — jobs with regular hours, wages and benefits — has dropped from 64 percent in 2015 to 46 percent in 2020.
Many of those who remain in the formal job sector struggle with severe underemployment, where they cannot earn enough at their regular jobs to feed their families.
As a result, Venezuelans have had to find employment in the informal sector. These workers are not covered by health insurance and don’t have regular wages, leaving millions of Venezuelans struggling to provide for their families. This rise in the informal employment sector corresponds to the steep rise in poverty in the country.

Children are no less affected than their parents. School enrollment across the country has dropped from 12.7 million children to 11 million, according to the report. Only 60 percent of children regularly attended school in 2020.
When asked why they didn’t attend school consistently, children said it was because of the lack of food, water, electricity, and transportation.
“ENCOVI’s results are the sad reflection of the reality of Venezuela’s people,” said Juan Guaidó , Venezuela’s legitimate interim president. “They are not isolated numbers, nor cold numbers, but the reflection of what we Venezuelans are suffering at this moment.”

Maybe two things can simultaneously be true about a situation. Example:

-Mark Pope is a smart, passionate individual whose skill and acumen would put him at the top of a lot of industries. Also, Mark Pope is not a great bball coach at Kentucky.

Here's another:

-Regime change is most often expensive and usually a net negative. Also, the way the current world is structured where China can engineer and steal its way to a comparable economy as the US is not acceptable or sustainable. To remain strong we need that oil. Strengthening our position in the western hemisphere isn't really an arguable position, it's necessary.
