Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.
We will not go back.
Good lord, these people are nuts.
Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.
Their shamelessness is their super power.
This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.
The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.
Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.
Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.
Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.
The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.
They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.
There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.
This chaos was totally avoidable.
The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.
Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.
If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.
Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Does Bolivia stand a chance?

That was not offside that pass started with the CF in his own half.

Chile.
Mostly because I vote for the team with the best kit.
On the other hand, I watched the highlights of Les Bleus when I got home from work – when did they get rid of the white collar? Even as an Italia fan, I ALWAYS liked that je ne sais quo touch.
Also: NIKE needs to learn that the US blue is NOT that powder blue shit. We ain’t the fucking Chargers

If it walks like a Duk, talks like a Duk, gets called offside like a Duk it’s a Duk.
And I’ll see myself out.

@tsquared2001: Almost all of the Euro kits are dreadful and the with Copa as well. Stupid shoulder swatches and odd coloring, the 1980s neon piping and striping and third-kit style mashups. Goddamn kids and their modern looks and fashion and changing very trivial things, piss me off.

This nation may have its collective issues but I’m watching a Copa America Cup soccer match featuring Chile v. Bolivia and it’s being played in Massachusetts and there are what, 12-15,000 people in the stands?
Not bad.

@humboldtblue: The piping part is the worst. If you want to go retro, do NOT pick the ’80s.
These crosses by Chile are missing by JUST a bit. Gotta think that bad luck will change

@humboldtblue: Nice job. Can you go after their hairstyles next?

The Bolivian keeper was putting in SOME work there.

@Omnes Omnibus:
I would but it would never end because the hairstyles of soccer players have always been a bit odd and every league and every national team has two or three hipsters who just make you shake your head and think of a time when a sportsman and athlete kept it short, sharp and close.
Now the tattoos, well, just you grab a seat over there, mister, let’s talk about the umm … the inking is dreadful.

A “cultured left foot” per the announcer. I thought that meant trenchfoot, but apparently not, as Bolivia equalizes.

@ThresherK:
Indeed.

And Bolivia gets robbed.

Don’t think that referee will be doing much past the group stage.
