After their highly contentious victory over Egypt on Tuesday — helped along by curiously one-sided refereeing — Argentina has become the surprise villain of this World Cup, Adam Elder writes. https://t.co/PmWcKApAGx
Tuvieron todo a favor y ni así:
- Jugaron en su estadio y en su país todos sus duelos.
- No tuvieron que moverse de su ciudad (salvo a GDL), mientras todas las selecciones recorrieron miles de km.
- Les dieron 11 de adición, un expulsado inglés y un penal.
- Condicionaron al mejor volante inglés desde el minuto 1 con Amarilla (Rice)
- Los hinchas metieron escándalo para joder al rival la noche anterior.
- Abuchearon el himno inglés y sus canciones.
Y más. Aún así, México fuera. Ganó Inglaterra.
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.
250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.
A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.
An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.
The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.
A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.
A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.
Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.
$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.
And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.
And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?
Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.
For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?
Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?
They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.
Argentina-Cape Verde 3-2 but Cape Verde outplayed them for stretches of the game. In the final minutes Argentina hung onto their lead by hook and crook, unable to keep possession, booting balls long like a League Two side battling to a shock FA Cup win against Man United
The greatest trick coffee pod companies ever pulled was convincing people to pay more for cheap coffee wrapped in trash.
Tens of billions of single-use coffee pods and capsules are used every year. Many are made from mixed plastic, foil, aluminum, filters, lids, and wet coffee grounds, which makes them annoying or impossible to recycle through normal curbside systems. Even the 'recyclable' ones often require special collection programs most people don't have easy access to.
The pod gives you one cup of coffee, then leaves behind a tiny piece of manufactured garbage that may outlive you.
A French press, drip maker, moka pot, pour-over, percolator, or reusable pod can make coffee every morning without throwing away a plastic capsule every time you wake up. The grounds can go in your compost.
This is one of those environmental swaps that is not complicated. You don't need a lifestyle overhaul. You don't need to become a coffee snob. You just need to make the switch.

54 be kind
