Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
Accountability, motherfuckers.
Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.
Technically true, but collectively nonsense
Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.
Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.
This really is a full service blog.
Everybody saw this coming.
It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.
You cannot shame the shameless.
My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.
Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?
After roe, women are no longer free.
Black Jesus loves a paper trail.
Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.
Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.
Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.
No one could have predicted…
Come on, man.
Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.
The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.
The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.
I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.
This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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.
