Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.
Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.
You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.
This fight is for everything.
Accountability, motherfuckers.
I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.
Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.
If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.
DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.
Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

And a penalty and goal for Ireland at the start. Wow!

You need to say which Ireland team France is playing, methinks. I know Norn Iron is out, but people might not immediately understand that you’re referring to the Republic.

Looks more like. Rugby than football.

@Amir Khalid: I don’t see the confusion. Yesterday I said Northern Ireland and today simply Ireland. I think most people will get the difference.

France looked pretty ragged in the first half.
I haven’t seen a team yet that has caught my fancy, but I’m pretty much “anybody but Portugal” after their charmless performance yesterday. I’m rooting for the underdogs—and good matches, of course.

France equalise.

Griezmann scores again: France pull ahead of the Republic of Ireland.

France aren’t looking so ragged now, with two goals in four minutes.

@Steeplejack (phone):
I’ve been pulling for Les Bleus (when it doesn’t effect the US, anyway) since WC ’82. It looks like they came out in this half full of esprit de corps or joie de vivre, or Oil of Olay or something. Much better.

Shane Duffy of Ireland is sent off. It would be a shame for Ireland to be eliminated as the fans from Ireland have been the best.

@Temporarily Max McGee (Soon Enough to Be Andy K Again): Occtane de Provence.

Those Irish fans remind me of Packers’ fans at Lambeau, but with more song. :D

Loris saved France’s ass. If he doesn’t get a hand to McClean’s low cross in the 52nd minute, Long has a tap-in and Ireland are up two-nil.
