Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.
They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
We still have time to mess this up!
The worst democrat is better than the best republican.
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.
The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.
President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.
A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.
Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.
We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.
I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.
Their shamelessness is their super power.
Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.
A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.
If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.
We are aware of all internet traditions.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.
Fear or fury? The choice is ours.
Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Does Bolivia stand a chance?

That was not offside that pass started with the CF in his own half.

Chile.
Mostly because I vote for the team with the best kit.
On the other hand, I watched the highlights of Les Bleus when I got home from work – when did they get rid of the white collar? Even as an Italia fan, I ALWAYS liked that je ne sais quo touch.
Also: NIKE needs to learn that the US blue is NOT that powder blue shit. We ain’t the fucking Chargers

If it walks like a Duk, talks like a Duk, gets called offside like a Duk it’s a Duk.
And I’ll see myself out.

@tsquared2001: Almost all of the Euro kits are dreadful and the with Copa as well. Stupid shoulder swatches and odd coloring, the 1980s neon piping and striping and third-kit style mashups. Goddamn kids and their modern looks and fashion and changing very trivial things, piss me off.

This nation may have its collective issues but I’m watching a Copa America Cup soccer match featuring Chile v. Bolivia and it’s being played in Massachusetts and there are what, 12-15,000 people in the stands?
Not bad.

@humboldtblue: The piping part is the worst. If you want to go retro, do NOT pick the ’80s.
These crosses by Chile are missing by JUST a bit. Gotta think that bad luck will change

@humboldtblue: There are a lot of fùtbol fans up around here.

@humboldtblue: Nice job. Can you go after their hairstyles next?
tsquared2001
The Bolivian keeper was putting in SOME work there.

@Omnes Omnibus:
I would but it would never end because the hairstyles of soccer players have always been a bit odd and every league and every national team has two or three hipsters who just make you shake your head and think of a time when a sportsman and athlete kept it short, sharp and close.
Now the tattoos, well, just you grab a seat over there, mister, let’s talk about the umm … the inking is dreadful.

@humboldtblue: “Now there’s a haircut you could set your watch to.”

A “cultured left foot” per the announcer. I thought that meant trenchfoot, but apparently not, as Bolivia equalizes.
humboldtblue
@ThresherK:
Indeed.
Bolivian keeper making his case for national hero.

And Bolivia gets robbed.

Don’t think that referee will be doing much past the group stage.
