@mappikko@ingelramdecoucy Euros underestimate how popular soccer is as a youth sport in the USA. It doesn't translate into adult high-level success mostly due to more established sports leagues scooping up the best athletes. This doesn't apply to women though, that's why our women's team is so dominant.
@tpv_tragula She was basically a DEI hire, brought on to swing haymakers while her black/female status gave her a firewall from the typical racist/misogynist/etc. accusations. DW probably thought they could hem her in, and they did for a while. But she was always an intellectual lightweight.
@natashakorecki@sahilkapur His pile of baggage was well known long before the primary. The idea he wasn't vetted is absurd; the DNC power brokers simply thought he was their best choice notwithstanding his manifest unsuitability for the office.
That doesn't speak well of the rest of their candidate pool.
@IbnKhaldune@pegobry_en So I just listened to PEG, and all I got was complex harmonic whispers of Michael McDonald serenading me about falling shutters and foreign movies and other random stuff.
@ingelramdecoucy Borrowers should have been more mindful of the cost/benefit calculation of taking out these loans, but let's not forget they're just conduits for the managerial class to shovel federal largesse into each other's pockets while having eager, naive adolescents pay for it.
@ingelramdecoucy Yeah, but I mostly remember it as a beer place. The first time I went there, the strip was one of the city's premiere nightlife districts. When I went back a few years later the strip was absolutely dead with the nightlife center of gravity having shifted to Carson street.
@WSOnlineNews And now you know why athletes and others don't want to be forced to celebrate "Pride." Normal, well adjusted people do not support this and should actively oppose it.
@RLHeinrichs@TheFP Except these aren't "MAGA" people, as seen by their wholesale rejection and abandonment of any association with Trump upon learning he and most of his supporters want nothing to do with them.
@jimgeraghty The primary difference between the two, however, is that one side is utterly isolating their lunatic fringe and driving them out of polite society while the other is electing their lunatic fringe into the halls of power.
@AlexGodofsky The 2024 Trump campaign was largely a referendum on the issue; that referendum won. What's more, the laws the current administration is enforcing were enacted by duly elected members of Congress. So what the hell are you even talking about?
