Considering the White House just told Republicans in Congress that anyone who signs the discharge petition started by Massie will be seen as committing a hostile act against the Trump Amin... No, he absolutely does not think he has gotten away with it. He is terrified.
Power Run - Brought to you by GE. Sweep - Brought to you by Swiffer QB Draw - Presented by Crayola Go Route - Presented by DuckDuckGo Empty - Presented by your bank account. Counter - Brought to you by Home Depot The NFL will go broke if we don't sponsor every play and moments between.
This is purely being done/loudly released right now to distract everyone from his Epstein relationship.
He is trying to distract from his Epstein ties scandal. Everything coming out from him right now is intended to be over the top, so as to steal coverage away from his past friendships. There's a reason they magically chose just right now to loudly tell the world they blew up a small boat.
If Trump steps down, or they invoke the 25A due to concerns from the public, presented by reporting, then there will have come to a point of similar coverage. Cheers.
For the record, there was so much coverage of Biden's health/age that it literally led to him dropping out. How you think that was not enough... a man literally pushed out... well, you'd have to support a pedophile to believe that. That wouldn't be you, Mr Epstein Friend supporter, right?
I'll just leave this here, in case you weren't aware. You'd have to be an insane person to support a pedophile after learning about it, right? You're a sane person, right? That means I shouldn't see any pedophile support on your feed, right?
Why do you support a pedophile?
Sometimes I do think that Trump needs to totally finish the establishment media companies off so that something new can be built from the base, focused on facts and telling it like it is. The MSM always treated Trump like a typical President. He isn't. They normalized the insanity every day.
Bingo. The MSM has officially been neutered by Trump and the Heritage foundation. We can no longer trust that they will cover anything that may get pushback from the Trump regime. Money wins again. If this was Biden, it'd be 24/7 coverage. The NYT would publish 40 Op-Eds about his health.
I worry Amorim won't turn to Lammens until it is too late. United managers post-SAF have a bad habit of ignoring a new/young signing, in favor of an underperforming player they started with. They always double down until it is too late and they are panicking, desperate for a lifeline.
I won't lie, I was a Belichick believer. I thought he'd have a solid defense, mediocre offense, and finish a game or two above .500. I figured it was a 2-3 season/transfer window mission. I still believe it's possible, but holy shit... the bare minimum is he should have a better defense.
If you are a starter from a Power 5 team... Don't celebrate like you just won a title when you make a basic tackle against a school that no one has heard of before. SMU, stop celebrating vs - checks notes - East Texas A&M. Looking at you too, Illinois, Oregon, OU, Indiana, Ole Miss...
The weird thing to me is that I don't see how the AI helps the value of their ads. We know you can't trust it, and thus have to scroll down, but millions of people will trust it and not scroll. Don't the ads lose a ton of value if your own "ai" stops people from viewing the ads?
If Joe Biden disappeared for a single day they'd be lined up to demand answers. We literally know how they approached Presidential health in the past. It was not like this. Are we supposed to pretend like we don't see what they are doing? Capitalism, once again, destroys the tools of freedom.
Anyone notice how none of the supposed independent MSM outlets haven't touched this? Not even a peep about his health? The regime has officially neutered them. NYT, CNN, WaPo, etc... all of them have officially bowed down. They didn't even put up a fight after years of talking a big game.
Carson Beck will be pleased that operation Image Rehab got off to a good start. He has 11-15 games to prove that he is an NFL talent, and that last year was an outlier. This is a guy who was talked about as a first round pick two years ago. Cristobal will be pleased with his defense.
What kind of leash does Kalen DeBoer have with the Alabama AD/Board/donors? Is this a commitment three year project, or could he be gone in 7 weeks if it looks like they aren't on playoff trajectory? Their schedule is *rough*. There is a very real scenario where he has 3 losses by week 8.
Overall, I wouldn't panic if I was a Longhorn. They will be in the playoff. The only question is how long it takes Manning to look like a top college QB. I am still convinced he will come good. Maybe not generational stud good, but 1st round pick good. Patience will pay off.
As an Ohio State fan viewing Texas... Impressed: Keeping Jeremiah Smith to under 50yds after losing Barron, albeit vs a first time starter. Not Impressed: Arch and Sark. He looked so nervous and in over his head. Sark, you are paid big to prep that kid for this exact moment. Coaching failure.
Machester United Win ✅ Ohio State Win ✅ Laughing at the look on Dabo's face as his gigantic ego takes another hit ✅ A good day of football.
I could not be more proud of this new look Ohio State defense today. The offense looked ok, but I don't expect Sayin to be amazing until next year. What an great first game. I don't expect this season to end in a lot. Maybe a playoff quarterfinal at best, but this was a big step.
Descendant of Marie Manning too!
O-H-I-O
I will raise my hand at the money part. I would certainly be interested to see the numbers, and how that is balancing.
Georgia-Tech is such a tough opener. It's not the end of the world to lose to a team with a unique, well-drilled offense that you will likely never see again. It's not good, but it's not like losing to a 1AA side. Unfortunately the CU offense didn't look great without Shedeur and Hunter.
What he is doing is rewarding loyalty, and more importantly, he is showing everyone else that they will be rewarded when the time comes for them to commit crimes for him. That time will eventually come, and he needs them to believe that obeying him doesn't risk their life outside of bars.
Matt Ruhle will be happy to get the #Nebraska season off to an ok start. An away-ish win, 33/243/2/0 from Raiola, and a solid if unspectacular effort from the lead HB. He has a good/bad two week cupcake schedule before facing UM, who will be hitting stride by then. Good luck. Don't get stomped.
That's a yikes for Boise State. Alarm bells for Spencer Danielson. They only have one (currently) ranked opponent this year, so this loss becomes heavy unless they run the table. You expect some drop off after losing Jeanty... but not a Grand Canyon amount. Panic time, or playoff hangover?
It's Pop-punk. Close enough.
"The oft-mentioned tyranny being opposed by gun owners is really just the sense that the wrong people are encroaching on the privileges and prerogatives of whiteness." From 2020:
Why does it feel like Trump is going to start a random war in order to distract from his miserable performance at home, as well as his Epstein scandal? Does anyone else get this vibe? It just feels like all of this is building up to a massive, forceful crackdown across America and a war somewhere.
Amorim genuinely could be gone by October and it would not be shocking. I understand why they went for three forwards this summer, but holy hell, how did they not see the midfield and GK issues coming? We all did. Bruno should have been sold to rebuild the midfield around Mainoo.
Bloody hell, I am struggling to explain the Grimsby loss to a friend who didn't see the match. So many bad performances. Ironically, the man who was all the focus in the buildup... Mainoo... showed why we must keep him. Onana should be banned from Carrington. Amorim is in deep, deep trouble.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe better have his private jet landing in Manchester tomorrow morning with Senne Lammens on it, ready to sign. How are we still playing Onana. He's atrocious.
If Myles Murphy had worked out, and was playing like a starting first round edge, they'd have lined it up perfectly to walk from Henderson next summer. They are cheap. When you are cheap you need to nail the one way to get cheap, elite players.
I think a lot of people misunderstand the Bengal's process with roster building. They have ok process. They are just terrible at drafting. Their issue is their reluctance to keep proven players. They do a good job of identifying needs 2-3yrs down the road, but suck at drafting the replacement.
I'm content with the Trey Hendrickson deal. At his age, I wouldn't want to give him 4yrs either. He isn'y a physical outlier like Garrett. Getting him down for a year and then deciding next summer whether to offer more is a good compromise. Myles Murphy was drafted to replace him. Whoops.
People aren't saying this is unique to North Korea, or created by them. It's just the most commonly known, aesthetically similar situation in the present. I mean, come on, just look at the similarities in visuals. It's what Trump wants... his face on everything. Trump will add a twist of gold.
People use the comparison because we literally know Trump is obsessed with how the Kim dynasty holds power, and more importantly how they created a massive, continuing celebration of their rule. It doesn't matter if it is forced, Trump just wants the same aesthetic. He wants his photo on every wall.
I swear, if Manchester United sell Kobie Mainoo I will lose it. Let's be honest, Amorim won't survive the year if he continues the Bruno at 8 obsession, and the next manager will likely want to sell Bruno anyways. We literally have a young 8 just waiting to be developed for no transfer fee.
The transformation of the Washington Post editorial page appears to be complete.
I also believe that in America, any citizen has a right to approach politics as they wish. If those people wish to try and take over the party, best of luck to them. That’s their right. A two party system will always lead to attempted takeovers. As a Democrat I believe they are free to try.
the mainstream media told voters in 2024 that the top National Guard-related issue in the election was whether Tim Walz retiring after serving for 21 years was scandalous. Accomplices in our oppression
Life is a lot more interesting and so much easier when you can just admit when you're wrong.
No argument there, though I suspect our idea of what the “radical left” is differs some, based on certain positions you hold and the more right wing nature of those. Where we disagree is I also don’t think conservatives who really just dislike Trump’s aesthetics also don’t belong.
I’d attend the ribbon cutting of that memorial.
This is a Centrist Democrat who is mad that the left isn’t perfectly in line with his policies. For the record, this person pretends they are opposed to Trump and want to fight back. This is a perfect admission from a “Centrist Democrat”. Typical MAGA in disguise.
If you don’t mind me asking, since you are an American and your ideology is let everyone burn. Why… umm… does that suddenly not apply to Israel? I’m genuinely curious. Looking at your profile. As an American, of course, you want to let Americans burn… but it suddenly disappears for Israel? Why?
I’m not interested in sending bombs and bullets so he can go capture his land. Defensive weapons. Cool. Weapons used to reunite his holy land… nope.
I am happy to have my taxes fund Patriot batteries and Iron Dome rockets, radar, whatever to defend. The minute the talk becomes about sending millions of people to South Sudan to reunite a fantasy holy land. That’s not self defense. That’s religious fundamentalist holy war nonsense. No thanks.
I’m so tired of center right Americans pretending like I have to make take some oath to defend the actions of people like Ben Gvir. I guess you support Ben Gvir and his very clear statements on wanting a genocide. Typical centrist American.
There it is. If you don’t support Bibi you are antisemitic. Typical center right wing bullshit. I am happy to protect the Jews in Israel and around the world. I am not happy to aid Bibi in doing his religious crusade, not questions asked.
Oh, yeah, that definitely solidifies it. I’m always glad when people are honest and we don’t have to pretend. Lay it all out there. You and MAGA actually align pretty well. That’s exactly their approach as well.
I shouldn't have to turn the TV on and see him spending valuable time attacking - checks notes - oh, the Dem primary winner in NY, to the benefit of only one person... a dynastic establishment Dem with ties to every donor and power player... Cuomo, who lost the primary. Blue no matter who, or?
Hakeem Jeffries is a common target because 1.) He is supposed to be a leader, the head of the House Dems... and he doesn't act like it. 2.) He can't stop attacking left wing candidates who challenge establishment Dems. 3.) He was hand picked by Pelosi to "lead". He has zero credibility.
I read through that... your conclusion is basically to throw the hands up and say, "I guess we will just do our own thing in State X.". That's the near opposite of doing something. It's literally attempting to opt out. I'd hate to see your idea of a response to a house fire.
American conservatism is inherently selfish. It is built around you thinking only of yourself and what matters to you. That's how you end up with these politicians and policies. It's also why conservatives magically change a personal position when they are negatively impacted. It hurt them.
At some point we need to just accept that the majority of Texas voters are happy with these things. They keep voting for these people. That's on them. We need to stop pretending like Texans secretly don't want any of this and just have to vote GOP. Opinion polls don't matter. Votes do.
Ron DeSantis when asked about this... "Can I interest you in a few dozen more monuments to traitorous slavery defending killers? We'd be happy to construct a few of those on the sidewalk."
Amorim is going to ten Hag himself in record time if he keeps doing this Bruno plays all game, every game, as an 8. Hell, Ole did it too. They get fixated on some weird player position selection and just double down.
That's how I'd feel too if I knew Jerry was doing his usual plan of waiting until the morning of the season opener to do the contract. Jerry is in his later years Al Davis phase. His mind is gone, but he doesn't realize it. With Jerry, he will go to his grave believing he was right all along.
Damn. That's a massive crowd for any US domestic football. Average MLS games only hit half of that. Hopefully the support continues. Football has always been a staple of women's sports, but I think we have a chance to grow it across the board right now.
Tough debut for Rashford. He's going to need time to adapt and the trust from Flick to work through it. Not sure what his ideal position is when you have guys like Raphina who clearly get a bit thrown off when he is there. Flick will have to decide how much he wants to tinker, and tradeoffs.
She was amazing. Her transition to the pros has been far more seamless than I expected. The Dallas hierarchy must be feeling confident in the future. If she is doing this at 23, imagine what she will look like at 26. Keep her happy and keep good players around her and you could compete for years
I can absolutely picture a scenario where they think both can be done, but not all at once. Start Jones and make sure you win some early games. Eventually his limitations hit, it's not enough to make the PO, and AR comes in to hopefully fulfill 1 AND 2. Good luck gentleman, lol.
Let's be real, if he was not a first round pick he would be gone by now. Steichen and Ballard need one of two things to happen to save their jobs. 1.) AR to work out and be a QB1... or 2.) Make the playoffs. Clearly 2 must be seeming more likely than 1, at least for now.
Is Anthony Richardson trying to force his way out of the Colts? His agent basically just said the Colts hierarchy cannot be trusted. That's a straight to the point shot at the organization. Regardless of what is actually true about trust, this is a tough one to undo. He has little leverage.
Mike Brown's computer uploaded consciousness, still running the team in '89, would never pay that salary for someone Flacco's age. He won't pay a 30yr old elite pass rusher... he definitely won't pay someone who is 104 years old.
I always feel bad for clubs like Brentford. They get their best player poached, their manager poached, and now their ST wants out at the end of the window. They could literally go down if they lose enough talent and stability. Big fees don't matter as much if you take the plunge.
Positives: Dorgu looks great. If Shaw can stay fit and find form we are in a good position at LCB/LWB. Yoro and de Ligt are good. Mbeumo looks hungry to run at defenders, and Cunha clearly has the "it factor" to create from nothing. Good to see Mount looking fit again. He's a solid player.
I also do not understand why we are selling Hoijlund. Is SJR just totally incapable of selling Garnacho, Antony, and Sancho... and needs cash? Watching Cunha play OOP and get little service felt like deja vu. Obi is young, so we are so reliant on Sesko if he is sold.
I totally get why he wants a CM upgrade, as we are still meh in the middle, but I just don't see how everyone fits without sales. Just use that money to pay Donnarumma ffs.
I also don't quite understand where a new CM would play. Are you benching Casemiro, Ugarte, Mount, and Mainoo? Once Sesko is fit the lineup essentially only has one spot for those four if Mbeumo, Bruno, and Cunha start nearly every game. It's a curious roster construction philosophy.
I saw a lot to like from Manchester United today. I also saw some things to have concern over. I do not understand Bruno as a CM. Dalot is underwhelming as a wingback. He is a fullback. Where is Amad? Where is Mainoo? We need a new starting GK, but I think you can argue Bayindir was pushed,
Did you even read your article? It literally proves my point. They pay taxes. Perhaps you were the bald fraud this entire time. Seriously, just shave the rest of your hair. You look like a nonce creeping around a playground right now.
So, does Kobbie Mainoo not exist as far as Amorim is concerned... or what? We have one of the most talented english midfield prospects in the world and Bruno never gets subbed off, even when fresh legs would clearly help. I don't get it.
That is not at all how the Beckham Law works, lol. It's a 24% fixed tax up to 600k euros, then a fixed 45% for anything about that. The Mbappe Law applies to Madrid regional taxes and is a deduction based only on investments in Madrid up to the 20% threshold.
We are beyond fucked. There is no going back. They 100% will have this normalized, fake justified, and expected within a year. They would get millions of viewers and no one would stop them if they wanted to do a "get citizenship" fight to the death competition.
I don't think they really need to try that hard. A huge chunk of Americans lack basic human empathy after being raised in a culture of hyper-individualism. There's an apathy to it. They will give a sadist permission to commit horrors, but don't really enjoy it. They just want something else.
Did Sir Jim Ratcliffe pull a Glazer and magically leak out that United are in on a huge deal right before there were big planned protests at a match? The energy for protest died down over the last few days... then magically we are out after a single undisclosed bid, basically a day before the match?
Madrid have a never ending list of expensive buys who don't make the cut, and they have little problem selling most of them. Why? They don't pay insane wages. The Glazers and Woodword made Sancho one of the highest paid players in European football.
Sancho could barely get into the starting XI under the manager who bought him... Ole. He was binned off by Amorim. If you are on the third manager who doesn't fancy you much... maybe it's the player. Our issue may not be unique, but we take it to new heights, and it repeats over and over.
Roma sure as hell isn't giving us a minimal risk, try before you buy option on any of their players we want. Hell, Roma would likely want us to eat salary too. I'd rather Sancho rot in the reserves and use this summer to establish a new precedence.
United need to be firm about the exists this summer... no more loans of guys who aren't young academy type kids. If teams want Sancho/Garnacho/Antony... they can buy them. I'm tired of letting teams improve for pennies on the dollar. Make this a hard line. Purchase or jog off.
Bibi Netanyahu and his backers, both inside and outside of Israel, remind me of those cases of abuse victims who end up abusing others. To numb their pain they must inflict that pain onto others. Eventually it isn't enough and they need to escalate the severity of pain.
It's wild that Bibi Netanyahu is so confident that no one will stop him that he is thinking out loud about how he is going to use forced migration with the threat of death to erase millions from an area of land he wants. To sum it up... "Anyone who doesn't leave is an enemy, and we kill enemies.".
The decades long American conservative project relied on the idea that society will end up at the ideal spot if everyone did what was in their best interest at all times. We are living through the conclusion of that. Religious extremists on the bench, rubber stamping an authoritarian rise.
I swear, it's like rich conservatives, and the politicians they back, are just obsessed with strip mining the resources of America for personal gain. There are no thoughts thought beyond "me", "now", "all of it". A natural result of the GOP fetishizing individualism for decades, of course.
Trump and the GOP want to have total control of elections. They want a Putin situation. Yes, you can technically go and vote, but the outcome is never uncertain. Take over cities -> Take over states and claim they can't be trusted -> Control All Elections.
That being said, I do see a scenario where they keep him out of need and pride. They were very publicly told they aren't big enough, European football or not. That has to hurt. You'd also need 2-3 signings to make up for the loss and improve elsewhere. They'd need to work fast.
Isak to LFC still has another chapter to be written. I think this could easily go to deadline day. Newcastle still have time to find a replacement, but not appearing desperate in public help them. Drop the report you are keeping Isak and you maintain an appearance of want, not need
Jake Tapper spent an entire segment today allowing Greg Abbott to weave a web of lies and misleading statements around redistricting. Tapper accidentally revealed why. He wants Abbott to come on more to appeal to conservative viewers. It's about money. Capitalism doesn't care about truth.
In the heaviest dose of irony ever, Trump and the GOP have expanded the powers and reach of the Fed Govt more than any Dem in modern history did. Trump now wields power over domestic policies that no modern President has. As usual, the fence sitting corporate media acts like this isn't happening
Only Trump could think a peace deal can be achieved by only inviting one party of the direct conflict to the table. What's Trump going to do when Ukraine likely says no? Yell at them? Threaten to cut weapons shipments again, which is already assumed? Trump will get played by Putin, inevitably.
This was such a strange transfer from day 1. It never made sense to me. If they can quickly flip him for a nice profit it would be a tidy bit of business.
It's wild that Taysom Hill can end up with nearly $40,000,000-$50,000,000 in career earnings on a team that essentially replaces him whenever he gets a few games as a starter. A career gadget player making that is amazing. Good on him for capitalizing on Loomis' desire to keep him playing.
Here, try this one... "President Trump looks to cut international student enrollment as part of his attacks on immigration and higher-ed."
They are upset at Trump, but act as if Dems left them no choice. It's someone else who is at fault, and Dems must bend to them or else they will do it again. How could I ever trust people like that? Why should the D party try to appeal to temporarily mad Trump voters?
