Obviously haven’t been there in 5+ years but Doyle’s articles would do 7x the pageviews of what we considered a standard piece. He’s what brought people to the site. Know there’s still hardworking people there doing their best but this is the final nail in the coffin of the old MLSsoccer.

*A white Christian nationalist is murdered by a white Christian nationalist who hates him because he does not go far enough with his white Christian nationalism*

The thing that caused this is liberal universities

This Is Who Charlie Kirk Was | Defector Certainly the dead tend to be thought of more fondly than they were in life. Still, it’s quite disorienting to watch American institutions obediently line up to display the utmost solemnity for a…

This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker.

The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.

My dog you took Brad Davis to that World Cup

REPORTER: Families are upset because warnings didn't go out in time. What do you say to those families?

TRUMP: Well I think everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances. Only a bad person would ask a question like that. Only an evil person would ask a question like that.

Adam Morrison exists

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

If I have a 1 year old should I expect her to have the same access to vaccines as her 6 and 9 year old cousins?

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Something missing in this piece is the ability to be both a Zionist and to be against the current leaders of the Israeli state. Believing in the idea of Israel and being pro-Palestine are far from mutually exclusive and I don’t see that represented here.

DK always does tone deaf stuff like this (did something similar on 9/11 one year)

Matthew Doyle, an MLS Sicko, takes on a room full of Eurosnobs in an alleged lively discussion.

this is the only Jubilee the people actually want to see

He can go fuck himself to eternity.

So Draymond is taunting a guy after lying about why he missed a game with the real reason being that is best friend died. And then refused to apologize. Cool cool.
