I can't remember where I heard that Russia never experienced The Enlightenment, which really explains a lot.

I hope you'll back up your rhetoric with votes for ordinances and street designs that slow cars and trucks. It's easy to say "slow down" but much harder to piss drivers off by actually slowing them down. The latter takes actual courage, which I hope you have.

Cheung has a notorious potty-mouth.

Love that soap box!

If you fear the people you are appointed to serve, then it makes sense that you'd want to sleep in a place where you are protected. I suppose it saves the cost of 24/7 security, which military bases already provide. Yet it's a sad commentary on the Trump regime.

If Putin can't have it, no one can have it.

Weak leaders purge dissenting voices; strong leaders use dissenting voices to improve their positions.

Reminds me of @profgalloway.com's story about buying up the Yellow Pages companies and wringing out the last pennies from those companies before they shut them down.

Did Trump apply bronzer with a firehose? Sheesh.

That's very smart research - explains a lot about our current situation.

Up is down, and down is up.

Hope they find the a**hole who did this, and I'm glad you and your cat and your neighbors are okay.

The man is a legend. He's "better than Zidane."

Yet another reason for states with vote-by-mail programs (like Oregon) to hold onto them at all costs. No one should have to walk past Federal agents and then stand in line for hours to vote in an election.

All of Trump's appointees - from Pam Bondi down to this guy - are picked to "carry out the President's agenda," not to follow the laws of the United States.

Why do Villa not have a consistent penalty-taker? Other teams do. The lack of one is costing points.

tho of course that was the playoff round, not the group stage. But whatever.

Villa have such a good record in these matches. I'll always cherish the memory of the PSG game, esp McGinn's goal.

1-3, with Villa coming from behind to score three times, with goals from Watkins, Rogers, and Pau Torres (we can dream about a defensive player scoring, anyway).

I can't handle all of the greatness - or the winning.

I tuned in! Very proud of my Senator.

I will be skipping that particular episode, but I will note that MG must be on the Ozempic - he has never looked so trim.

I have a theory that Morgan's main tactic is to do something entirely unpredictable with the ball as soon it reaches him. In 80% of cases, he loses the ball, but the other 20% of the time something wonderous happens - like his goal yesterday. So Unai will tolerate the mistakes.

"If Putin can't have it, no one can have it." It's end-times logic.

Just wondering what the "MP" column means - perhaps the number of goal-involvements per Minutes Played? Thanks.

Does anyone know the actual location of Mike Johnson's testicles? They went missing a long time ago.

I remember when rural New Yorkers couldn't pronounce his father's name either. But then he became governor and they learned how.

Wish we could get him back! But based on what he has (not) accomplished at Forest so far, he might have given Villa his best years??

He's a legend - for both club and country.

Yes - they are so obviously unqualified to lead the US military.
