The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

one of the most insane thing about partisan politics is that Republicans are allowed to say "these four million American citizens shouldn't get the representation they are entitled because it would be politically inconvenient for us" and nobody bats an eye

San Diego Wave FC announced today that forward Trinity Byars has been removed from the Season-Ending Injury List and is available vs Kansas City Current on today, Nov. 2 at 12 p.m. PT (ESPN).

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth # 0• 2h0 ... Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Caribbean. This vessel—like EVERY OTHER—was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed, and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike. These narco-terrorists are bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans at home—and they will not succeed. The Department will treat them EXACTLY how we treated Al-Qaeda. We will continue to track them, map them, hunt them, and kill them.

Your semiregular reminder: Be like soccer and hand the trophy to the captain. Give the owner jack and shit.

More Democrats should get more combative with the media, in particular by calling out questions that have an unspoken premise of "GOP voters are realer Americans than you," or in this case, "the president can break the law if voters in a city choose a mayor according to their own preferences."

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

Seven years without a period as a professional soccer player ｜三浦 成美 This is a story of a professional soccer player whose menstrual period, which had stopped for seven years, was restored. And I’ll do translation on English as well. Narumi Miura May 16, 2022 09:32 (,...

This is the price determined by FIFA for a category 1 ticket for a group stage game on the resale market controlled by FIFA.

FIFA’s greed is diabolical, a stain on World football.
