Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

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

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

In after Baud. Damn.

    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.
