Tell us Trump was a regular on Epstein island without telling us…

Just your average, salt-of-the-earth working-class American who really understands the plight of blue collar workers and the forgotten men and women of the American heartland

The cowardice and depravity of the business and higher ed communities in this time is a deep, national shame.

A particularly gut wrenching excerpt from this article:

Look at what’s going on w/Isak & Newcastle RN. Or Ter Stegen & Barcelona. And what happened w/MbappΓ© & PSG.

I would have preferred for the FO to get out in front of this, but a couple of players who think the grass is greener elsewhere making public stinks is not, in & of itself, proof of anything

The Constitution also says an insurrectionist can’t be president and yet here we are…

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the GPT?

Democrats shouldn't hesitate to "politicize this tragedy" because it is a politicized tragedy. Republican propaganda fueled yet another mass shooter, and at the very center of the lies are Trump's own appointees, including his malicious and amoral Health Secretary.

Right. But if Jona got a green card wouldn’t that make 4? Or was his already accounted for?

Wouldn’t that put them at 4 international slots? They traded for one from Miami a couple of weeks ago.

Since they never registered Araujo maybe his slot was already being used?

In any event, all signs point to another incoming player!

Did they need that slot for Carballo? I would think not since Jona’s should be available

Credit to Ned if they can flip Moreno for another U22 before the window closes

There’s a big difference between a random club in the Chilean or Colombian First Division & a recent Copa Libertadores winner and CWC semi-finalist

And MLS clubs are selling to Liga MX & South American clubs all the time

It’s a business & Santi is *far* from the first player to do this sort of thing. Heck, I remember when Adi no-showed for a Seattle game b/c he wanted a move to a LigaMX club. And Vancouver had a player a few years ago who went & signed for another team even though he was still under contract

And then, of course, there’s the obvious relevance of those topics to our current moment…

Anyways, no harm done. Cheers!

No worries. As you say, it’s one of the hazards of social media.

FWIW, I got turned on to early modern history via the social history of Ren. Florence & the Annales School in general. Any time I teach EM legal history at least one student writes on sumptuary laws. So I dialed the snark up to 11
