Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
I will make this brief because I am in agreement with your words wholeheartedly. I think it might be good for us to have a bit of organization in trying to stand up to fascism. Talking about it here won’t do much to reverse already crossing the fascism rubicon. I think it would in general be good to be able to network and help folks when they need it until we get to the other side of this. They will. Guaranteed. TFG’s hold on them is strong.

Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
Suffolk is filled with cult members. Massive amounts of them. I have seen them in action at Yankee Stadium. The things I heard said to Jay Bruce in 2017 when he was with Cleveland pale in comparison to what Rory and his guys heard. Bruce wouldn’t repeat any of it after the game. He just laughed at the end of the 8th inning. It was wild to see kids yelling at him. Explain what happened as New York cult members doing what they do at sporting events. It will only get worse next year at the World Cup.

Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
Out here MMA is really popular. I asked a guy what makes it so popular here and he told me that it’s just the culture of Hawai’i and fighting with your bare fists. Made sense I guess. Mainland? Yeah forget that. Don’t want to be anywhere near those fights or the people who are fans.

Having spent a really good amount of time around Long Islanders, specifically ones from Suffolk County, I expected that. I was absolutely glad to see the US FAFO and not only lose, but have the Europeans laugh at them and TFG. More of that please.

Trump’s America
If you see these people in the wild just ask them what foreign land he is from and where is it on the flat earth map.

Trump’s America
Well now you have to infiltrate a group and eventually reveal to them that you are one of the soldiers that comes from the future to tell them their whole movement ends in disaster.

Whatcha reading?
Reading Crabwalk by Gunter Grass. Fiction is not my thing, but the book is good.

What impact will Trump have on the 2026 World Cup?
I hope the US scores zero goals in their matches. Just a whole bunch of nothing. Hopefully Mexico and Canada both advance from their groups.

The pain he brought to the already discovered world extended all the way to you and the price you had to pay.

2025 Texas High School Football
Lampasas gets a 35-28 win against Waco U. London Smith had a great Hail Mary catch to end the 1st half and put them up 21-14. Waco U. can’t stop the run though and honestly they just need better coaching. I don’t think that’s a real shocking thing to say. Lampasas won because of coaching and line play. Rogers should get a statue out in front of Badger Field for how he has made Lampasas consistently good and really entertaining. It would’ve been cool to see Ty Johnson square off against Smith if he hadn’t transferred out to SoCal, but Smith is pretty good all the same. The Badgers should finish the regular season 9-1 and go three rounds again. That would constitute a really good year considering the amount of new faces on both sides of the ball.

2025 Random Games thread
Hard to believe it’s been 30 years since Virginia ended FSU’s streak of ACC wins. I remember that game because it was a Thursday night game on ESPN. 30 years later they remind everyone that FSU is not so good.

2025 Random Games thread
It’s different when you have zero expectations and no one has you as a big game outside of playing Arizona. Now ASU is everyone’s big game in the conference and there is no Skattebo back there to just say “screw it and just give me the ball.” Tyson is dependent upon his QB getting him the ball in space. Leavitt has moments where you see a guy that a GM will hand an NFL team over to and then he has some real head scratchers. A lot of words to say most of this mental for him and the team. Leavitt gets in a groove and Tyson stays on the field we can play with anyone. The defense is really good this season. I love the ends and how they get up the field so quick.

One Battle After Another, the next Paul Thomas Anderson film
The chase was just incredible in how it was shot. That alone needs to get it every cinematography award possible. How it got set up was genius.

You are interested in conspiracies and things that are not true. To the ignore list you go where you belong. Engaging with people like you is not worth it, ever. Go both sides it with the king of that stuff on here. I'll never have to read it since they're also on ignore.

I kinda feel like when someone tells me what they want to do that I might should believe them. We crossed the rubicon into fascism this year. That much is clear. Even though this is still more reminiscent of 1920's Italy, but fascism all the same. Will it end disastrously and fail? You better believe it will, but fascists do not have the ability to hold their movement together. The issue is that by the time it fails it will either have possibly cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of citizens in the United States or it will have even more far-reaching effects around the globe. That's really the only suspense left.

Yep we got a full blown "Do your research" person here. Columbus was a great Jewish guy. So Jewish even Jesus is amazed by him. There Columbus was just spreading joy amongst the natives and trying to convert them to Judaism and he gets unfairly blamed for their demise.

You see Columbus was a Jew. Many people don’t know that. The space laser program started with him. He crossed the ocean and people feinted at his appearance and never woke up from being so starstruck by him. He had great ratings. The best ratings. Ratings so high among these people you wouldn’t believe it.

Oh my gosh watching him run around like that was both hilarious and brilliant at the same time. Definitely costume-worthy. Shocking stuff here.

Film Watchers
I’ll be honest and say I do not watch the NFL anymore. However that guy was cool to listen to and he gives a simple and easy explanation of what is transpiring on each play. Thanks for sharing.

What is it with other countries like France and Brazil having a legal system that isn’t letting politicians walk on major charges like this? I wonder what it’s like living in a place where the rule of law actually means something.

McDonald’s
I stopped in the morning at McDonald's in Tahiti a couple of years back. They made a pretty good latte and the people were super friendly. Families would go to eat in there and they were all so quiet and happy. Totally different experience, but it was just cool getting a latte I guess from them.

What impact will Trump have on the 2026 World Cup?
If you ever want to find out if you're talking to a cult member or not just say that you used to live in NY, LA, Chicago or any city that TFG and Fox News say is against him. Really easy way to cut off having to talk just by the reaction of "Oh you actually lived there?"
