Plus the fact they were running the game together for so long. It's not like Gates got popped for something else and is rolling to get out it. This is a long term intimate relationship that goes back years of crime of which he has already confessed to in court. I think that helps his credibility.

Gotcha. There had to be a reason. He makes some incredible saves when he's on, but thats rare these days. His confidence is shot and there is nothing worse than that for a keeper. I still can't believe Karius is even training with Pool. Shocked the club hasn't at least sent him on loan somewhere for his own safety.

Lulz. Somebody paid money for Joe Hart. You can find better keepers in the MLS than that poor guy. He's mentally fucked.

He could go back to Italy at any time if he wanted. His style and player preference are suited perfectly for Serie A. I don't know what other big club would want him as the game is on a swing towards more open play (thank God). If I were PSG I would think about hiring him, tons of cash and desperate for a Champions League. You can play shit football and still when Ligue 1, their owners just want the respect that comes with a CL victory. Most important is that Mo is gone. He's special for being an asshole and parking the bus, that's about it. This squad has plenty of attacking talent to be very good, but still lacks a midfield playmaker (come on Fred) and solid leadership in the back. Smalling has never been the man nor will be. Valencia and Young are up there in years and Lindelof is the worst signing in years. It's hard to win on a defensive philosophy when your D sucks. Anything can happen during a season and we could ugly our way to a lucky title, but I don't see it happening. I see more unhappiness and frustration in the squad with Mo throwing gas on the fire and throwing temper tantrums. Getting Pochettino would've been brilliant, but that didn't happen did it. Another season of pain for us.

I didn't see a United thread. Only a few talking points ahead of what will most likely be another boring campaign with equally boring football. I'm ready for the Mourinho era to end hopefully sooner than later. It would be nice to have someone at the club with a vision, instead of trying to sign older players. United have always produced great talent, but there is no future for the young players under a cunt like Mo. Hope is gone soon. There is no vision for the club at the moment. What to look forward to... New signings? Wow...Fred! Not much going on there. Could be a good one, but I really have no clue. Lackluster offseason to say the least. Noting else really to look forward to. I see more defensive football and nothing that looks like United style of going for it. I don't have a lot of hope for the season. Hopefully a top 4 and maybe a run in the Champions League. We are a distant 2nd tier behind City. Liverpool got better. Don't know what the fuck is going on a Chelsea. Tottenham should be better now the young ones have a year under their belt. Arsenal are a wild card. We could honestly finish out of the top four is we have a poor start to the league. I pray that Lukaku has learned to finish for the club, but who the hell knows. If Pogba doesn't have his shit together by the Christmas break, please sell his ass. Tired of watching him out of place. If he's not running free on long runs, he's wasted. After all that being said.... U N I T E D! United are the team for me! Can't wait for the fucking thing to get going. Come on United!!!

It's a giant nothing burger to hide income from Russian oligarchs for your work putting Russian friendly leaders in Ukraine. This has nothing to do with his work as a simple convention manager for the trump campaign. He just knew how to count votes and make sure the convention ran smoothly and folks could interact. It's so obvious that this has anything to do with the Russian witch hunt. fuck me.

Last night watching "This is America" Sacha Baron Cohen's new show when we got to the Bachelorette girl. "Wait, are you telling me these two episodes were real people and not in on the joke? Even the racist guy showing his ass? That was real?" Holy fuck, it took her until watching the reality show girl get owned to realize what deep shit this country is in.

It's fairly liberal at the moment. There were some shenanigans that the board overseeing the implementation of Medical was trying to pull to restrict it, but the backlash was swift. I believe it will be fairly liberal in the end. Lawmakers want the mishandling and drama of rules setting to end. Already have the Director of the board of Pharmacy attempting to bribe the attorney from the Health Dept who oversaw the writing of the rules/regs to put a "pharmacist in every dispensary". They now have charges against them. It's been a shitshow and most lawmakers just want it to go away. I have my doubts on recreational passing and unfortunately it won't be on the ballot in November. That is too much of a Democratic GOTV for Republicans to allow during a gubernatorial election that is already going to be close. It will likely go to a special vote in the spring or some random time that makes it more difficult to pass.

As soon as he accepts the invitation, we know the extraction plan is in motion.

Skullfuckin

It's an apt description. The amount of dollars and opportunity on the R side of lobbying and campaigning blows away anything relative on the D side. R's have the ability to cultivate their young talent in a way that spots "business minded" folks (looking to get paid well) and place them into a decent paying jobs (lobbying firms/PAC's/Chambers of Commerce)with serious career growth opportunities that foster a mercenary mentality (loyalty to the paycheck). D's lack this loose structure of like minded groups that can actually pay a living wage. Non-profits, environmental, grass roots campaigning just doesn't allow to pay off student loans while learning the ropes of the game. You never hear of Republicans "selling out" because that is how it is set up in the first place. You are not there for a cause or the greater good, but a paycheck. Simple really.

“Driving Without Vodka” is my awesome band name for the day. 6 months. Grateful. Much love gentlemen. Push on.

Fair point, but it is closer than what someone else writes for him or sends out on his behalf. His ad-libs are what he actually believes.

The White House made a statement, but the President didn't. I no longer believe what comes from the WH is actually speaking for the President. I have to see it come out of his mouth before I know what he actually believes.

Brisket is correct. The only thing that MAY work is serious pressure on the Senate for 2020. That is also the year when Trump is on the ballot. Probable primary from the middle and a pure referendum on the obviously comprised/guilty man. Senators do not like to lose their power and have the "potential" to do the right thing in the face of losing cushy jobs. They would roll on him as a group faster than the House ever could get organized to do so. It's a long shot, but it's plausible. The size of the wave and the amount of folks in jail or on trial will have to be substantial. I think folks don't appreciate what happened on Monday. All of the Russia attacks on Trump will now stick and the GOP lost all Indies and folks that took a chance on Trump for the next two cycles. It was that bad of a moment. The base will never leave, but the base can't win Senate seats alone.

Godspeed. Thank God I'm sober. I don't think I could handle myself right now if I was drinking.

I feel sick. We are screwed if this continues much longer. Every Republican congress person in complicit for allowing this to continue. I honestly can't believe what I just witnessed. We knew he was a lying fuckstick. Now we know he's truly treasonous.

Agreed. For a seemingly smart group of people, this one wasn't well thought through. It wasn't an open counter, but the moment and flow of the match was swinging to Croatia at the time. It felt like something good was going to come from attacking that left flank. Killed the flow until the end of the match half.

Would've gotten a lot more sympathy if they hadn't interrupted a counter attack by the underdog of the match. I'm sympathetic to their cause, but fuck them for screwing up a chance for Croatia. Wait for an injury or the ball to go out of play. I think the entire soccer world agrees with me.

Imagine how fucked up its going to be when he grants Julian Assange asylum here. The unthinkable is now the norm.

True, but it's been a long two years. Feels like a lifetime since he was busted at the RNC convention. These cunts are finally about to get theirs one by one and it will move very fast once this trial starts.

Soon....

I couldn't imagine a guy with Flynn's background being a traitorous POS either, but apparently these low character guys exist in high ranking positions and Trump is good at finding them. It blows my mind I type the word treason, and everyday that goes by it is playing out to be the case with these fucks. I don't like the new normal.

It was reported a few weeks ago that Kelly has checked out. Basically said he will no longer try to control the President and will not advise him until he gets impeached. We know that is not going to happen unless the Congress flips. It's a massive deal, but why would he put himself in any possible criminal/treasonous situation if Trump is going to do what he pleases anyhow? He's just ordering the coffee and setting up the meetings I suppose.

Very insightful and revealing. Where can I learn more Annie?
