A-Tex Devil

Because she got a 10 in 1976 on a routine that wouldn’t get close to that now? Please. Simone has won more, more often, against more countries that are performing at a high level than Nadia ever did. It’s not close. It’s like saying Bob Cousy was better than Jordan

Anyone that doesn’t think SB is the greatest ever is a fucking idiot. It’s fucking objectively true. She got the twisties 3 years ago. As someone that competed in gymnastics from ages 8-15, that’s a real thing. It doesn’t reduce her accomplishments. Historically relative to all past competitors she has dominated Olympics and world championships in a way that hasn’t even been approached. And she is 27 which is insane. Fucking. DT, man. Jesus.

Has he endorsed Kamala yet? That’s not refuting the above but until he does his words are relatively empty.

Oh, I thought it was most technically difficult. The two super extended tracking shots in Children of Men are my choice.

Agree. I was fairly surprised that Kamala said she'd just sign the bill, but happy both that she will and how she communicated it (shitting on Trump in the process). And at the end of the day, if she gets the house and senate she wants, she can still add more to it to make the left happy.

"perhaps, some would say, better"

[DELETED SO AS NOT TO FEED THE TROLL. HE KNOWS]

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.

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.

Liga MX Champs!

NEvermind.. France won. Morocco it is.

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.

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.

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?”

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.

“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.

I thought she was vehemently anti-Trump (setting aside her other issues). Did I miss something?

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.

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.

I am convinced this guy is a modern day Oswald Mosely. And I am also pretty sure he'd take that as a complement.
