Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

In after Baud. Damn.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

    @sab: Another way of looking at it is….. How come the UK has to divide its talent four ways? How good would the UK be if anyone from those four countries could play for the one team?

    @sab: This was done at the insistence on the non-UK countries when they were first setting up international competition. It was thought that allowing the UK to have a single team drawn from all four “nations” would result in the UK always winning everything.

    Germany v Portugal yesterday was a wild game. Hoping for some excitement in today’s fixtures, but I have a feeling that Italy v Wales could be a bit sleepy as a draw works nicely for both teams and Turkey has been awful throughout the tournament so far.

    Of course the fans booed in St. Petersburg. Those folks are racist af. Zenit (the pro team in St. Petersburg) fans have been known to throw bananas at their own African players.

    Ulster didn’t miss qualifying by much. These days, they’re better than the Republic of Ireland. And their women’s team is getting better in a hurry.

    @sab: 
    Interestingly, it’s the UK team that qualified for the Olympics while it’s England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales that compete individually to try and get into the World Cup.
    Am certain it’s complicated.

    @trollhattan: but it’s become so ingrained, that at the 2012 london games, the uk’s automatic bids in men’s & women’s soccer were negotiated internally to ensure no scots or irish.

    i do remember the absolute legend ryan giggs repping the uk as a welshman since the home olympics were his only chance to play internationally in a major tournament.

    SHAQ ATTACK! Switzerland 3 – Turkey 1 on a Shaquiri brace (two-goal match).

    It may be enough to land the Swiss one of the 4 third-place spots in the round of 16. a negative one goal differential isn’t horrible and the next tie-breaker is goals scored. And their four goals (three from SHAQ!) may just be enough.
