Zugegeben, es war nicht meine beste Idee, ausgerechnet bei 36 Grad nach Mailand fahren zu wollen. Aber wenn ich nun mal quasi auf der Ecke bin …
Sonst hätte ich auch nicht das wunderschöne Städtchen Como mit der riesigen Altstadt entdeckt, das auch noch direkt an einem See liegt. Und direkt hinter der Grenze zur Schweiz.
BTW, the foul disparity continues. 8 #LFC fouls committed to just 3 for Fulham. At home!
Remarkable how the officiating always helps the opposition. LFC aren’t a terribly aggressive team off the ball. I can’t explain it.

I have spent most of the time since Labor Day out across the country,
campaigning, knocking on doors, speaking at rallies ahead of the midterms.
I’ve been in upstate New York and eastern Pennsylvania, in northern Montana and the Central Valley of California, on the Kansas-Missouri line and southern Maine, in eastern Iowa and south-central Michigan, in Austin and in Dallas.
And I’ve been online more nights than not, helping with phone banks into every part of America.
The DoJ claims up to 250k registered voters in CA NV NJ PA are non-citizens. If that's true and they're all in CA and they all vote and they all vote the same way, that could swing a vote by 1.1-1.6% (CA has 23.2M registered voters; 16.1M voted in 2024). CA has no senate races this cycle and the Dem gubernatorial candidate leads the polls by 16.1%.
CA has 48h to validate the list—an impossible task.
"I have serious doubts about the reliability of your data and accuracy of your claims, since my office has not shared our statewide voter registration list with DHS or any other federal agency or official," [CA Secretary of State] Weber said …
The Republican administration claimed Nevada had 1,500 noncitizen voters on its voter rolls. But after the federal government identified them to the state, the number of actual registered noncitizens turned out to be zero.
