We have nukes. Noone is attacking us. These weapons are for aggressive force projection overseas, purely to benefit plutocratic commercial interests.
A disgraceful waste of money, time and effort.
Every time Morocco beats one of the so-called “big teams”, the conversation becomes about what the loser did wrong instead of what Morocco did right.
It’s as if they’re contractually forbidden from simply praising an African team. Morocco is already a serious team.
during the world cup knockouts there is nothing worse than people being disappointed at underdogs winning because it robs them from a big nation v big nation matchup
if the match you made up in your head was really that enticing why was one of the teams severely underperforming
Proposing constitutional amendments is basically lying to voters’ faces. It’s not viable unless there’s a blue wave so big that Dems are taking back states like Nebraska and Indiana. Court expansion and impeachment are the only viable options for overturning Citizens United.
Been thinking this for a couple weeks but I think the most important piece of the puzzle for those "lesser" NTs taking the step up is having that real keeper. You see it now with Japan and Suzuki, Morocco with Bounou, and you see it in Mendy and thus Senegal's decline
One of the main reason why soccer is so popular and such a loved game across the world is because Americans have had so little to do with its development.
The cynicism of this is breathtaking. Israel's fingerprints are literally everywhere in Azerbaijan's expulsion of Armenians from Karabakh just three years ago, but now that Israel's relations with Turkey are worsening, it recognizes the Armenian genocide.
“Poor decision, really poor decision from the referee”
Argentina’s first goal today against Jordan resulted from a freekick that should not have been given. Even the commentators are fed up with the corruption. https://t.co/KafTNSkT0M
literally every negative externality goes away if you combine controls on price of existing private housing with the state taking the lead on house building. every single one of them. but people like this literally cannot conceive of anything except private provision of housing
Every argument against left wing policy is basically "rich people are holding us hostage, better not upset them" said by someone who thinks this is absolutely sensible and any other opinion is childish
The most bizarre thing about american politics to me is that the concept of an actual political party, as opposed to a group of people that very loosely share the same beliefs, is so foreign to them. "Once elected, they are only accountable to DSA," that's how a party works!
Just once when a politician evokes the “two state solution” handwave I would pay any amount of money for whoever is interviewing them to ask them to define a “Palestinian state”. Does it have a military? Full sovereignty? Can it enter into alliances with whomever it wants?
