  1. This reminds me of the controversy Klinsmann got after cutting Donovan leading up to the 2014 WC. But did he replace Donovan with Wondo or Green?
  2. I'm far from being pissed about this game. We've had several chances to steal this thing and we get another 30 minutes to do so.
  3. I could use an explanation on why CONCACAF hosts the Nations League and Gold Cup only a couple months apart. Seems like the same teams play in both.
  4. LOL when 10% turnout gives you anxiety then you are a shitty candidate. A shitty Dotard-endorsed candidate, which is delicious.
  5. Jaja! Fuck el Tri!
  6. Thought Buchannan was offsides there, but that was slick.
  7. Damn son
  8. No bookings, so that's nice. Bring on Al Jazeera.
  9. Yes, because nobody should have to register for the draft. The more people who have their skin in the game, the less popular and therefore less likely it comes to pass.
  10. Woah. Joe Biden saying something off the cuff? Must be dementia. He has always been like that. One major knock against him his entire political career is that he is a "gaffe machine". Here's a throwback from 2008 (aged 65).
  11. Two main reasons: 1) To relieve himself of responsibility 2) So he or whomever on the Right can claim it's all a partisan witch hunt Before you reply that all that doesn't make any sense, consider that right wing media has already scrubbed the first vote from memory.
  12. I thought Pickford was being an ass with the juking...
  13. Italians look fitter despite being older
  14. I'm watching Univision. Who's Twellman?
  15. I had a rather opinionated teacher of AP US history in 11th grade argue strongly it was about the States' right to secede. This was in San Diego, California in the mid 90's.
  16. The fact is that when it comes to protests, marches, and other acts of (peaceful) civil disobedience, the Right has nothing on the Left. Maybe a few thousand were in DC on 1/6 and several hundred stormed the Capitol. That isn't many, as you point out, considering many actually believed their country was being taken from them. Contrast that with the MILLIONS who marched worldwide within one day of Cheeto taking office, with half a million in DC alone. Then consider the millions who took to the streets for weeks following George Floyd's killing. If the Republicans try to steal an election, I hope they find out.
  17. Loudoun Country went for Biden by 24 points. I'm sure they have their bigots, and they might be loud, but they are not the majority.
  18. I hope you're right. Fact is that the most politically sensible time to push for reform was today and both Sinema and Manchin have let the moment pass them by. That's a bad sign. I took issue with the fact that you seemed to think this will resolve itself somehow in the backrooms or on the floor of the Senate. I feel that is now a lost cause. I still hold out some hope for Biden intervening, but I think it's now up to people like us to deal with this, somehow...
  19. Come on. First it was the 1/06 commission, then it was S1. What other bills that need 60 votes do the Republicans need to block in order for these two finally come around? What is left? It's cute that you still think their plea for bipartisanship isn't anything other than straight up corruption. They are against filibuster reform because their donors are against it. This is all about money. This isn't theater, as the climax has already passed. They need to be made to realize that their donors are not enough to get them re-elected. The people need to make that case.
  20. Good. I thought you were happy just watch Schumer call for useless votes.
  21. Fuck that. Republicans don't seem afraid of obstructing. We need to find a way to make Democrats afraid of letting them.
  22. Bet her approval rating tanks like 20 points after that apology.
  23. To win statewide, the Dems really need to shore up South Texas and not let this happen again. GOTV, goddammit.
