Am I a bad person for thinking the judges totally over mark and totally over gush over Ellie on Strictly Come Dancing?

I’m fairly alcohol relaxed on a Friday evening so all I will say is very silly woman in orange dress on #Newsnight

As with Trump her "support" for Bolsonaro is purely to seek his help in opposing Maduro. There is again, no evidence she endorses or is aligned with Bolsonaro's domestic policy. She also supported the idea of this kind of strike, not necessarily the strike itself. It's nuanced, not black & white.

You can't base anyone's allegiance on one or two comments, especially when dealing with #Trump. She's stroking his ego in order to gain his support, like so many other political leaders around the world, because it's one of the only things he responds to. He's a child.

She "supports" his position on Venezuela because it helps her political and social aspirations. There is no evidence that she "endorses" all or any of his domestic policies.

Machado isn’t a #Trump style conservative - she’s a liberal democrat in the classical sense: pro-rule of law, anti-authoritarian, defends human rights, free elections, and markets. She’s pushed for institutional reform, women’s rights, and LGBTQ+ equality, not populist nationalism.

Surely he'll just create a series of #Trump Prizes and award them all to himself, bigly?

Trump Physics Prize: Trump
Trump Chemistry Prize: Trump
Trump Physiology or Medicine Prize: Trump
Trump Literature Prize: Trump
Trump Economic Sciences Prize: Trump
Trump Peace Prize: Trump

That'll be the "No-balls Peace Prize" then?

Fingers crossed. I had cardiversion about 8 years ago, but had to have it redone a month or so later. Even that wasn't a permanent solution, so about 6 months later I had an ablation, which has so far proved completely succesful.

If this is true then she is certainly politically shrewd. Stroking the Orange Felon's fragile, narcissistic ego won't do her any harm.

He's still a cunt BTW.

A man who declares war in his own country? It’s a joke. If he were to be given it it totally devalues all previous winners and will likely be irrelevant moving forward.

Ironic that the guy who desperately wants the Nobel Peace Prize wants to start a civil war in his own country.

I worked in IT for 30+ years mainly as a Systems/Business Analyst. What got me ahead in a highly technical environment was my ability to use my English language skills to translate documents back and forth between the technicians and the shop floor. Many highly skilled techies couldn't communicate.
