Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

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

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

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Republicans in disarray!

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

    As a native of the Independent Socialist Republic of Liverpool I’d just like to reiterate my whole-hearted support for our Welsh neighbours in their ongoing quest to become the premier Celtic footballing nation of these isles.

    Sorry Denmark, but today we’re all Ian Rush, not Jan Molby•.

    •Though we still love you Jan, you roly-poly genius, you.

    @WaterGirl: Hey, it worked! Was about to comment on the earlier post but thought I should check ;-)

    As a citizen and current resident of Denmark let me do the obligatory GOOOOOO DEEENMAAARK!! And let’s hope for a good match.

    @NetheadJay:

    Is cool. My fickle support is purely situational. If it wasn’t Wales out there I’d be cheering on the boys in white. Hell, now that I think of it the marshy bay that would become Liverpool sat comfortably within the Danemark, so I’m pretty much obligated to be happy who ever wins.

    @billcinsd:

    Por que no los dos? As I’m sure old big nose would have heard someone say if he’d got a transfer to Spain instead.

    OT, took the kids to a nearby beach resort for the weekend. The 6 year old is channeling her inner teenager – is unhappy we’re going for three days rather than 5, says she wants to go home early so she can pet her cat, and is also obviously enjoying the pool, beach visits and lots of snacks.

    She is also upset that the OJ had pulp and refuses to eat the cream cheese in a cheese Danish. Annoyed she has to share a room with her younger sister. Happy that I’ve taken her on walks and that her new room is bigger than her room at home.

    Parenting is exhausting AND great.

    Denmark have bossed this first half and are well worth their lead. Wales really need the whistle so the manager can sit them down and get their heads sorted.

    Wales started quite well the first 15 min. and I was a bit worried about all the space Gareth Bale was getting. But then they adapted their formation a bit and after Dolberg’s lovely goal they’ve been pretty much in control and it could well have been 2 instead of 1-0. Really wondering what happened to the Welsh side but ‘m not complaining.

  20. 20.

    Tony Jay

    Oh dear. A clear foul on Moore to start that move off but once it wasn’t given….

    The Welsh need to get the ball and get some tempo and put pressure on the Danes or they’ve got no chance.

  22. 22.

    Tony Jay

    Gareth! Moore was just waiting for that cross to drop right to him when Bale threw himself in the way!

    Better from Wales, though. They just need to go for it. Nothing to lose at this point.

    We now have two LFC alumni and two LFC Academy Transfer Baits on the pitch.

    Gotta pull for Wales now, TJ.

    @Mo Salad:

    Oh I have been, but they just haven’t been at the races today against an exceptionally well organised Danish side that have done everything right. Frankly the Welsh look utterly shattered.

    Whooouu, chances don’t get much bigger than that..

    Edit: And there it is. Mæhle had practically half the pitch to himself and just knocks it into the roof!

    Maehle with another goal for Denmark. Looks like Wales won’t be making another run to the semis

    Wilson with the straight red, Wales will be leaving in another few hours (they only get 12 hours in Netherlands)

  32. 32.

    Tony Jay

    Jesus in a pedalo, but this referee is absolutely awful. Given Wales zero all game and then sends Wilson off for… what? There’s not a league in the world that that’s a red card. Denmark haven’t needed the help, but by the balls of Zeus he’s been determined to provide it since the first whistle.

  33. 33.

    billcinsd

    @Tony Jay: Honestly, I though it was a pretty obvious straight red. No effort to play the ball, reckless challenge, easy call.

  36. 36.

    Tony Jay

    @billcinsd:

    Really? Lazy challenge, took him down, not reckless or dangerous at all. I’ve never seen a straight red given for a foul like that and I can say with some confidence that I never will again.

    YMMV, but that referee had an odious shocker.

    And Denmark are now sentenced to go to Baku? Hard to say who really won the match, eh?

    In a perfect world, both teams would be moving on after knocking out France and Germany, but congratulations to Denmark.
