The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Watching the news would be a lot more fun if liars' pants really did catch on fire.

Audible is the most convenient for me β€”I have hundreds of books through it and they store them for me indefinitely. I like to re-hear books so this is important. It’s a publicly traded company so I choose to ignore the craven politics of its executive board director.

I re-read a bunch of Asimov recently then threw half of them out. Loved them in my early years. Maybe sometimes it’s us getting more discerning and they have always been what they are.

I agreeβ€”it is irritating to hear someone in a very competitive field tell young people all you have to do is work hard to achieve your dream and fail to mention that hard work plus talent isn’t always enough. You frequently need a lucky break to succeed.

Yes I know. The Crew took every precaution but they were the only ones that got sick at that hotel. There is a belief that someone at the hotel sabotaged their food/drink so they would lose the Championship match.

Sane thing happened to the Crew last year β€”I know the teams are careful so you wonder what is going on.

I won’t go there anymore but I do miss being able to follow live sports twitter. If you can do that here I haven’t figured it out yet.

I was so wanting to see them succeed this year. Agree that Shanahan has to go as this just has not worked. Can’t afford depth players, goalie situation untenable and the repeated trauma has just undercut the true talent of the top players.

This seems so much worse than what they accused Hunter Biden of doingβ€”not that they had proofβ€”is anyone outraged on the right?

This is the right approach β€” speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.
