A lovely visit from our daughter and Kaiden, the wee man has more hair than me!!!!

Geschäftsführer Sport, apparently. The way I understand it, Eberl is interested in having an additional Sportdirektor to share responsibilities with.

Speaks volumes about RB though, that they only hire snakes.

Just booked to go Lisbon in May

You’re a fucking stooge. Why are you so obsessed with superficial Fox News talking points? You’re not even a Seppo but you drink the outrage Kool-Aide about issues that don’t affect you, or even the majority of people living in the USA. You don’t give a fuck about the American experience and what people go through, stop pretending you do. Abortion, Trans-rights, Ocasio-Cortez, are distractions from the real issues. Economic uncertainty, inflation, poverty, corporate exploitation, income stagnation, they are on the brink of economic collapse but you are having a prolapse about one fucking representative from one state. The world inside your head doesn’t exist, you babble on about crypto-fascist talking points that idolise a specific Evangelical culture, that is ironically counter to the idealised philosophy of why the USA exists. You’re a freak in a cave watching shadows on the wall.

Quality of life improvement was blocking him.. I highly recommend. You cannot help someone or educate them when they are that far gone.

There's so much to unpack in it. 1.) Calling for removal of "rinos" - even though he's in support of republicans that are really nothing like a traditional republicans... and are really just republican in name only (which is where the term "rino" fucking comes from) - he might be more right-wing than republicans traditionally were... but that doesn't make traditional republicans rinos; if anything it's absolutely the other way around. But honestly that's just a flaw in America's political system that doesn't really function properly if you've got more than 2 parties tbh. Same thing with the democrats in America. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Joe Biden wouldn't be in the same political party in most countries - but they are in America because the system doesn't really work properly with more than 2 parties. 2.) Being racist is "screaming" about other people being racist. Not... you know... saying or doing racist things. Honestly, this just comes off as being annoyed that people get called out for being openly racist in 2022. 3.) That Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who a lot of right-wing people are absolutely obsessed with for some reason (I think they want to fuck her but know she'd say no, tbh), is getting "dropkicked" in her district... is not what any of the polling indications seem to be predicting: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/house/new-york/14/ - also her opponent has NO ENDORSEMENTS, which in the US is the sign of a nothing candidate 4.) "83% of America disagrees with the democrat position on abortion" - first, the democratic position - as far as I can tell - has been to go back to the way federal abortion laws were before the Supreme Court changed things. Secondly... it's just not even close to an accurate statistic: https://apnorc.org/projects/public-holds-nuanced-views-about-access-to-legal-abortion/ - most Americans are in favour of abortion 5.) the "transgender fantasy" - as though gender issues are the driving political force of one side of US politics. Here's the democratic party platform: https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/ - surprise, surprise... not ONE SINGLE FUCKING MENTION of transgender stuff (other than wanting to make sure they're treated like humans, which is fair... because they're humans. And to prevent suicides amongst them) - it's a minor social issue, not a driving part of any party's platform. As someone living here yes, I think the US has a lot of problems... but it's bizarre and hilarious to see someone out of the country think they've got a good read on the political pulse of the US while being so far off from being accurate. And why the fuck is he so invested in the culture wars the US right-wing is so intent on using as distraction issues to get people to not think about the economic and political issues (that voters, regardless of political party, tend to find lots of unity in)? It's basically a case study on why people shouldn't get their news from anything affiliated with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, or at least look at various other sources before trusting what any News Corp media outlet has to tell you.

So apparently he's a top candidate for a sporting director at RB next season... If true, that's a very dodgy way to get out of contract with Schalke for "personal reasons".
