Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Let’s finish the job.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Not all heroes wear capes.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

    I once went to a regatta and was totally Romania. Oar else I have misforgotten. Maybe it was me eating lots of caviar. Wade a minute, this is about soccer?

    Let’s get this party started!

    France 3-1 Romania, unless something goes terribly wrong for Les Bleus.

    Okay, so the French are Liverpoolesque with corners. Good to know. How that first chance didn’t bulge the net though I have no idea, what a save by Hugo.

    Damn, did not expect a scoreless half by the French. They seem to always underperform, 1998 excepted.

    Curse of the first game in these tournaments. It’s always the hosts and they always, always , always tense up with the weight of expectation. Romania aren’t playing badly (they’ve been unlucky to get hit with so many yellow cards) and they had the best chance of the game early on but Pogba and Payet – should – be carving them open with ease and regularity.

    Let’s hope the half time break lets the French collect themselves and concentrate on what they do well. But if the Romanians score first…

    France are starting to play a bit and BANG, there you go. The keeper should have got there first but wimped out horribly. Come on man, you’re 6ft plus and not too pretty, you’re supposed to make that ball yours. When was the last time you saw a goalkeeper booked for barging a striker out of the way?

    Romania need the hit back sharpish or my prediction is back on,

    @burnspbesq:

    You poke your foot out like that at a goal-bound opponent in the penalty area and nine times out of ten they’ll go down and the ref will point at the spot. There was contact, that’s all it takes.

    Fair result. A game of few chances, but France took one more of theirs. They shouldn’t have much trouble progressing from the group.

    Now on to tomorrow and three matches, including Bales v Slovakia and the latest installment in England’s perennial challenge to not be totally shite at a major tournament. We’re playing Russia though, so I expect we’ll have The Comrade from Portland popping into the thread to let us know how playing a diamond formation in midfield is clearly a CIA plot. Good times ahead. Allez!
