The way they used to talk about Grant Wahl made my blood boil. I confronted Tac about it after Grant died and he had a meltdown.

Which result is more shocking, Scotland's or USMNT's?

At least in the short run. Fiscal policy that invests in infrastructure, education, health care and capital investments have long run pay offs but won't often be felt while the politicians are in office.

It worked in the 90s after Labor in US and UK had a horrible couple decades. Nothing lasts forever.

You're coming to America! Can't wait.

I've really enjoyed your evolution to becoming a US Soccer fan and TSS is my go to podcast. When I heard about Scotland's victory today I smiled knowing how happy you must be.

I love it.

Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are a lot of things, lunatic lefties are not one of them.

The only difference between the lunatic left and right is that the lunatic right holds actual power in the institutions and offices of the GOP. The lunatic left is resigned to yelling at randos on Bluesky and other platforms.

There are times when I wish the DC press corps would abandon its norms of objectivity and just laugh in people's faces. This is one of those times.

Same deal as rubber necking at a car crash. People are humans, not saints.

You don't understand we've always exempted from tariffs things that can't be made in this country , like coffee.

So that is why we're now exempting beef.

Huh?

No one is thirstier.

Trump seems to be sitting there thinking to himself, "Kristi, do you know how much money this guy is directing into my bank accounts?"

I'm confused, was he a bird or a mouse?

As long as this is still legal.

Whoops.

Social media sucks. Jamie Raskin's persecution of Donald Trump during the January 6th impeachment and his leadership of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol was serious and admirable. The Puritanical zeal to purge him now is laughable.

His persecution of Donald Trump during the January 6th impeachment trial was impeccable and far outweighs some off the cuff comment during a political speech to some random crowd. Don't be a Puritan.

How did she not tie this into the Enlightenment and the shot/bullet heard round the world?

This is how I felt when Larry Flynt promised to release dirt on all the people trying to impeach Bill Clinton for infidelity. Everyone was acting all appalled. I told them that I honestly couldn't wait to buy it and would be first in line. Bob Livingston's resignation floor speech was 10/10.

I just care that she is Donald Trump's enemy.

Is that country the island kingdom of Lilliput?

Securing defections from the authoritarian regime is the centerpiece of any successful pro-democracy resistance.

Politics isn’t fandom—when someone leaves the authoritarian coalition, we should take it as a win.

The question is what do you want grades to tell you? Intellect, information processing speed, work ethic, grit? My question for Josh is information processing speed so important? And should it be reflected in one's grade more than other variables?

I'm flabbergasted he wasn't sufficiently shamed by the first fumble and unapologetically went for the celebration only to fumble it again.
