Every time I see Kim Davis in the news again, I get the same feeling in my gut as when Kai Winn shows up on DS9. I just know its gonna be some bullshit that will make me angry.

Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her

I agree, they look like sloppy weekend-warrior wannabes, but the Fourth Reich's natural reaction will be to put everyone in knee-high shiny boots and crisp tailored uniforms with their unit insignia on the hat and lapels.

Trump's talk about DC being "dirty and disgusting" in today's press conference reminds me how often Trump seems to hate the country he governs (rules?)

Does the Washington Post even know what a lie is? Does your Daddy Bezos not allow you to correct the liar-in-chief?

Well well well, using a contrived "emergency" to take over the capital. Never heard that play before.

I suggest future authors include this paragraph verbatim in what will truly be the stupidest chapter in U.S. History books.

This is insane. And as dictatorial a power grab as we’ve ever seen in US history. Most of all, though, it’s also just unneeded. Crime is at a generational low in DC.

I think the Galaxy have no choice but to issue a refund to their 200-ish fans that stuck it out for that 4-0 drubbing by the Sounders, as tradition demands.

We're about to see a goalkeeper baseball cap renaissance in the Premier League, aren't we.

Randy Arozarena just struck out on three strikes that were all outside the strike zone. MLB umpires beclowning themselves once again.

 You’ve had success having a point of view on your show, as Colbert has, at least in the ratings. Late night used to be broad, unifying entertainment. I know Jay Leno recently spoke on this topic, about making a show for everyone …

I’m going to take a hard pass on taking comedic advice from Jay Leno.

John Oliver just says the thing. I'm happy for him.

If the jersey tug in the last game was enough to wipe out a red card, the jersey tug on Ferreira in the box there was surely to give one.

Lovely cross, lovely finish from DeRo.

How about another one?

Agreed. He's not even cut out for U-10. If Steffon was reffing my kid's match, I'd be worried for their safety.

This Santos Laguna team is very bad and also very unlikeable

Your awful referee crew for tonight has been:

REF: Steffon Sean Dewar (JAM)
AR1: Zachari Zeegelar (SUR)
AR2: Ainsley Adrian Rochard (TRI)
4TH: Kwinsi Williams (TRI)
VAR: Benjamin Whitty (CAY)
AVAR: Daneon Parchment (JAM)

Santos Laguna commit battery against the Sounders for 90 minutes

The Sounders end the game down a man.

Yeah, so the Sounders played great, and the only thing that sucks more than Santos Laguna are these referees.

The only thing dumber than that red is Georgi doing that in the first place

But that coming after that first yellow and after that penalty and red getting waived off earlier is such a farce

Georgi shouldn’t have a first yellow, so that’s going to be a red for raising his shirt.

The second one was legit. The first was BS.

Great reporting, I’d look forward to sharing it with friends and family if it wasn’t published on Substack, the self-publishing world’s Nazi bar.
