Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

A consequence of cucumbers

Ah, the different things are different argument.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

Women’s World Cup – Spain v Costa Rica and Colombia v Mexico Open Thread

Due to a quirk of geography and time zones, both games are occurring simultaneously: Colombia v Mexico in Moncton 5 p.m. ADT and Spain v Costa Rica in Montreal 4 p.m. EDT.

So, arepas v tortillas in Moncton and gazpacho v pico de gallo in Montreal. This is the all Castellano segment! Who do you like?

    Did Mexico just get shafted on that yellow?

    eta The rules analyst says no.

    Colombia & CR

    I should add that the Spanish team is apparently very good.

    wow, way not to get down CR.

    I ran across this, which may be of interest to those who might be looking for a soccer related podcast:

    I’m a huge soccer fan, so it’s Men In Blazers for me. These two gents have become a bit more notorious post World Cup, but the podcast remains true to its roots, with the two effortlessly skewering pop culture, the Premier League, and all points between over an hour-ish weekly format, capping it off with an interview (sometimes the weak point, but at times fascinating- hello, Billy Beane!) and “Ravens”* from the listeners.

    *The Men In Blazers are huge “Game of Thrones” fans, among other things, which is why I think they’d appeal to many O-Deck readers with an interest in “sockah!”

    Good to hear the commentators talk about how hard it is for women in CR and other Latin American countries to be able to play, lots of hurdles to accepting women can be athletic in this way.

    After tonnes (sp?) of pressure, Mexico take the lead on Colombia.

    Why are Mexico all in dark red? And why do I have to remind myself that the yellow and white are not Brasil, but Colombia?

    PS As the last remaining Expos fan in my county, Stade Olympique looks just like I remember it.

    Tortillas in Moncton, torn on the other match … lived in Costa Rica growing up but, as a Portland Thorns fan, feel obligated to root for Vero Boquete. Go tie!!!

    @ThresherK:

    Did you expect The Big Owe to improve?

    @Roger Moore: Actually, I meant, “it seems to have the same number of fans in the seats as could stomach the ruination of the club by Jeffrey Fucking Loria”.

    The fake turf–a point of controvery for this WWC–seems to be from the last CFL playoff game there, which I think makes it better for football than in many of the other venues.

    Spain vs Costa Rica was evenly contested, as reflected in the score. I have to say that I hate the turf. I don’t remember the goalie who wore a short sleeved shirt–really quite foolhardy considering the turf burns one can get on that crap surface.

    Also, what’s up with the ref calling BS yellow and red cards? Japan’s PK and Swiss’ goalie’s yellow card was a terrible, terrible call.
