@HeatherSulliTV@KMOV@AGCHanaway I’ve donated to his 417 foundation “charity” raffles for coats for kids, 15 separate entries totaling over $150. I thought I was helping kids back Missouri where I’m originally from, it’s just really unfortunate how this has all played out.
MAGA:
2016 was fair! (Obama was President)
2020 was rigged! (Trump was President)
2024 was fair! (Biden was President)
They’re going to rig 2026! (Trump is President)
Why is Donald Trump so fucking bad at securing elections according to MAGA?
Dear bandwagon soccer fans,
it was fun hanging out. Really, it was a good time. This is US soccer: It sucks most of the time. You should watch premier league. Anyways, let’s do it again in four years.
A critical element that the "rulebook purists" arguing Balogun deserved a red card are conveniently overlooking:
BALOGUN was the one who was challenged from behind.
The Bosnian player played *through* Balogun from behind and placed himself in the path of Balogun's natural step.
When he begins taking that step, Balogun has no idea the Bosnian player would even be in front of him. In that sense, you can't really even consider his move a "challenge." It was simply a step that incidentally landed in the same place the opponent's foot did.
In fact, the reason Balogun's step came down so hard is *because* the Bosnian player challenged into him and knocked him off balance.
This is not "reckless" or "excessive force" by any stretch of the imagination.
The red card was *obviously* unjustified from the outset. The only thing FIFA got wrong here is not immediately suspending the red card after the match.
I don’t know if I can bring myself to root for the USMNT’s biggest rival, HOWEVER
- England losing to a CONCACAF team in a World Cup hosted by CONCACAF is objectively hilarious
- England losing on the 250th anniversary of them losing the colonies would also be hilarious
I'm one of the least "patriotic" most critical of this country people you'll ever meet but if you're American and can't get it up for the US during the World Cup and the Olympics I think you might just hate life
Algerians doing jigs in Kansas... Brits eating barbecue in Texas... Koreans doing full on kegstands in Mexico... just goes to show that the entire world can be united by the simple concept of getting really drunk and watching a sporting event
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
