This aged so well.
Crocodile tears.
Back then, the IOC leadership disqualified me without any grounds because they didn’t want to admit reality and honor our fallen Ukrainian athletes.
In her interview after the disqualification, Ms. Coventry shed crocodile tears and spoke about solidarity with Ukraine, as well as providing generators as humanitarian aid for Ukrainian sports facilities.
The issue of the generators was never raised again, and of course the IOC never delivered anything.
In the same way, their “solidarity with Ukraine” turned out to be just as much of a fake as Coventry’s tears.
Yes, as I’ve said from the very beginning, Platner is a scumbag, and the Nazi tattoo should’ve been the end of him politically.
But this is also true: If Platner were a Republican, and week after week women came forward with evidence of rape or sexual abuse, he’d lie about each woman, he’d attack the media & scream “fake news,” his fellow Republican colleagues would stand by him, and Republican voters would still enthusiastically vote for him.
Mitch McConnell is actually the best Metaphor for, and representation of, America and our political system. He spent almost a century making the world a better place for only himself and his friends, married an immigrant while working tirelessly against other immigrants, manipulated the system to increase his power only to be usurped & made impotent by someone even more unethical, unscrupulous and power hungry. Then when the system is finally done with him, they keep his dead body on life support just to use him for one more power move until finally allowing him sweet sweet death while his wife flees the country and his children go into hiding. And when it's all said and done, he'll be best remembered for a meme that made him into a turtle. America.
Balogun could have eaten that suspension for all the impact he had on this game, and instead of celebrating one of the best runs the USMNT has has in decades they now have to swallow the loss and also the humiliation of trying to big dick the sport and falling on their asses.
Amazing how the World Cup was doing a legitimately good job of bringing the world together and rehabilitating the USA’s reputation, now all anybody will remember is Trump’s political interference. The world is indeed united, but now it’s against the American cheats. Such a shame.
I'd also like to know -- from men -- why a man would act like a petulant child who doesn't like wearing a bib at meal time - and why that would ever involve a woman having to step in as if he needed a mother to make him behave like an adult.
This is a tweet by a Democratic congressman. Therefore, Republicans can dismiss it as partisan. But I have a question: Can they contradict it, in any respect? If so, I would (genuinely) like to hear it.
I DO NOT think people understand that global warming doesn’t mean “no cold weather ever.” It means a warming planet destabilizes weather patterns, causing more extreme weather. This has been explained for decades and people still don’t get it.

The sitting president of the United States had to pay $5 million to a woman he raped and defamed, and not one person in his entire cult of a party is calling for his resignation.
Not one.
Excellent point made by the former French ambassador to Ukraine, now to Poland: “The question is no longer whether Ukraine will win, but when.”
As I've been saying since 2022, Ukraine’s total victory—thus Russia’s full defeat—must be the explicit strategy of all European leaders.
The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry, in a report issued today (23 June), stated that Israeli forces are deliberately and systematically targeting Palestinian children. It described this as part of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza and the West Bank since October 2023.
The Commission emphasized that this targeting is part of a broader effort to undermine the existence of the Palestinian people at its roots.
I actually agree that American Jews should be concerned about their "safety and status in the US right now" - but because white supremacists on the right control much of the federal government, state governments and judiciary, and Fox hosts feel comfortable warning "the Jews" in primetime while demonizing Soros and pushing 'Great Replacement' Nazi conspiracies.
Not because three pro-Palestine candidates - a Jewish liberal Zionist; a Native American Latina; and an Afro-Dominican Muslim - won Democratic primaries for the House in NYC without saying a single negative word about Jewish people or Judaism.
It's absurd to fearmonger about the left when the OG antisemites on the right are back - and back in power. Absurd and self-destructive.
