  1. It's insane to me that he got double gold in Fly and Breast, much less on the same day. When I was swimming growing up, I don't think I can recall someone that excelled at a high level in both. I can't remember that ever happening on the world/Olympic level.
  2. Out of form Chinese swimmer comes in and breaks his own world record by a 1/2 second in a slow pool. Color me skeptical.

  4. NEvermind.. France won. Morocco it is.
  5. Presuming France doesn't lose by 2 to NZ, we draw Morocco. They aren't anything to sneeze at given last world cup, but prefer them to Argentina, I think.

    Watching second half again with my 6 yo who went to bed at halftime. That rabona the Pumas forward did that drew the penalty was pretty slick.
  7. I can agree with all this and still see value in getting Trump et al bent out of shape by suggesting it’s unclear whether it was shrapnel or a bullet. Because it shouldn’t matter but it does to him so use it to destabilize him.
  8. I’ve been saying that for 6 months. Ask Trump an oblique question about the end of 4 years and let him hang himself. “If you win, and after your 4 years is up, as you step down from being president, what do you think you will do next?”
  9. I mean fucking listen to what they are saying. “In 4 years you are not going to have to vote again.”

    Top 4 win for club behind the two playoff wins and the LAFC beat down imo. Just given the circumstances of two shorthand goals, the PK save, and Pumas is no joke. .

    A+ shithousery by Austin FC tonight no matter what the outcome. Cleveland hasn’t been good but damn that was awesome.

    Couldn’t go to game tonight but watching. Felt like we conceded up front by benching Stuver and it’s clear Cleveland is awful. But Ring and Perreira are on one tonight. This has been a lot of fun.
  13. “Executive experience at the highest level” also means McCraven and Stavridis. I love both of those choices in a different kind of race, but I don’t think either is strategically the best option to capture swing states here.
  14. I thought she was vehemently anti-Trump (setting aside her other issues). Did I miss something?
  15. Honestly, if the peripheral, but influential, Dems on social media start insisting it wasn't a bullet, but shrapnel, it's going to drive him nuts. He wants people to think he was shot. Kamala, her running mate and those close to campaign (Buttegieg, etc.) don't need to and shouldn't engage. Because it shouldn't matter whether it was a bullet or shrapnel -- he was put at risk, it was scary, and shouldn't have happened. A normal person wouldn't care, they'd just be thankful to survive. But he cares that it was a bullet so he can say he was "shot", and insisting it was shrapnel will set him off.
  16. Let me do some gymnastics here to avoid #3..... I want to be part of, and support the movement that said no to fascism, white and Christian nationalism, and what would be a coming kleptocracy. This is important, and I think a valid reason to be "excited" because there is an opportunity to cripple MAGA and put it back in the extremism corner of the political world where it belongs. France and UK out front give me hope. I am excited to give the Democrats a chance to really govern through control of the Executive and Legislature, and to do so in a positive, but driven way to implement an agenda without fear or concern of the midterms . . . learning from the mistakes of "bipartisanship over all" during the last two times Dems had both houses and the presidency. Try for bipartisanship, but if GOP is going to be obstructive, ram everything down their throat. I am hopeful that's a lesson learned from Biden and Obama admins, and the tenor of the Harris campaign has me believing it can be a reality.
  17. I am convinced this guy is a modern day Oswald Mosely. And I am also pretty sure he'd take that as a complement.
  18. So if this couch thing can take off, I think there should be a grass roots effort purporting to come from "inside the house" suggesting Trump resign, it's best for the party, etc. He would never do it, of course, and his followers won't buy it, but I think if it got enough traction, it would fuck with his head tremendously. Hell you can start with -- "Project 2025 architects pleased with JD Vance pick given his support for the plan, but extremely unhappy with Trump's unwillingness to back agenda . . . considering withholding funding until he supports and our steps aside for JD Vance." Wishful thinking, but there needs to be some "from inside the house" casting doubts on Trump's age, cognitive ability, and loyalty to conservative values... It's not going to change votes, but it will unhinge Trump.
  19. Win next two and in, right? Tie one of them and I hope the goal differential doesn't matter. Need to flip script and win next two 3-0.
  20. That video of him putting couldnweirdly do more damage then anything that comes out of his mouth. Biden needs to retweet that with a comment post haste. I was irritated he fell for the golf stuff during the debate. But now he can leverage it. hell. Biden should challenge him to a match now.
  21. One of the coolest things now is that, presuming he’s fully through the grief cycle, Biden can just cook and do his thing the rest of his term. Govern, push shit through Congress as best he can and speak to the people without downside. He is going to be an asset. Then on Jan 20 he can pardon Hunter.
  22. Saw Trevor Keels went off last night. Loved that guy at Duke. Would love to see him sneak in there for a roster spot - presuming he earns it in camp, of course.
  23. Of course it's going to be Kamala. Even if anyone was dumb/narcissistic enough to throw his/her hat in the ring, she has the CA delegation, which is massive. I imagine someone will throw a turd in the punch bowl in order to raise some campaign funds and get on that gravy train for a short while. But this will be a done deal by the convention. The Dems need to dot every I and cross every T to do this transition correctly because the GOP lawyers will be out in full force to try to fuck things up, and this SCOTUS may not care about a plaintiff's standing if it means flipping the election. Don't even open the door there. Do it to the letter of the law and relevant rules (which I think is what imma is getting at) through the convention. Still - loving the GOP concern trolling that somehow votes are being thrown away when their guy tried to just shut down the whole primary process earlier this year. They seem so concerned about all the Dems votes not being counted earlier this year. I need that same concern come November given that is where the real threat lies.

    So Biro threw a tantrum on the way off the field.
