@JDVance Why don't you have the courage 2 acknowledge that all the prayers in the world won't make the guns go away. Only tightening gun laws. The Trump government is happy to bypass all other elements of the constitution. Why is the second amendment so sacred? This won't change otherwise

I imagine that by sealing a #RussiaUkraineceasefire @realDonaldTrump will be hoping to get the @NobelPrize for ECONOMICS. The art of the deal. @WhiteHouse

Absurd backlash against @elonmusk's mother for saying you should have children even if you can't afford them. According to @foxandfriends, it costs US$13-18k to give birth in the US without complications. It's clear where the real problem is.

Remember watching the Federer - Nadal 2008 Wimbledon Final in a hotel room in Buenos Aires, glued to the screen. Amazing game and players. Thanks for the memories @RafaelNadal

British croc expert jailed for sexual abuse of dogs. Hard to believe. Sounds like a headline you'd see on the National Enquirer. But it's real.

Despite all that's been said about European football being superior to Latin American, the Copa America final has been hugely more entertaining and skillful than the #Eurocopa2024 final

Spain deserved winners o. the day but credit to England on giving it everything. Much improved during the tournament. Southgate deserves huge plaudits for his focus on building a tight team, bleeding in young players. Certain they're set for future glory.

[Patrick Nixon @Aypadster]

@BorisvanderSpek Well played the Netherlands. They should beat England. Not sure about Spain though

[Patrick Nixon @Aypadster]

@ysimevoyamarte @BorisvanderSpek In Spanish speaking cultures, in general it's considered rude not to ask somebody how they are after greeting them, where as in English speaking cultures that's not considered necessary.

Chile is one of a number of countries whose military still uses the Pickelhaube, spiked helmet worn by the Prussian army, one of several parts of the uniform reminiscent of both German and Italian traditions, the other being the Carabineros police force. #SebastianPiñera

[Patrick Nixon @Aypadster]

Many tributes paid to ex-president #sebastianpinera have highlighted his capacity to cross the aisle and reach consensus, something that is grossly lacking today. Could this be the pivotal moment in which Chile's left and right finally start to work together for the country?

Si me hubieran dicho hace 5 años que los ex ministros de @sebastianpinera se iban a sacar una foto, todos juntos en la plaza de Armas, sin seguridad, habría dicho que era imposible.
Hoy se hizo realidad.
La otra historia, la que se aleja de la política del día a día, empieza a escribirse.

[Patrick Nixon @Aypadster]

Watching funeral of former president @sebastianpinera. You barely hear about religion all year. I don't know any Chilean who regularly goes to mass. Then suddenly when someone dies and we're all Catholics and find God.
