1. We accept a backhanded compliment. And it's also not enough and low-key we keep score.
2. Yes teams based here have an advantage. Your reasons are weird and wrong but your conclusion is right. We can still be friends.
3. Your map sucks, but come visit us. It's easy and fun.

Pretty sure that Argentina, England, and the Netherlands have an unfair advantage by being based in Kansas: heaps fewer distractions than elsewhere π
@downthebyline I'd strike everything from "If..." until you get to the comma. I don't know if ZBs best role is there? How could we? Seems like ZB needs to be on the field one way or another. But in any case we need LBs whose clearances relieve pressure?
Iβm hitting the road ππ¨! My #KansasStrongTour kicks off tomorrow. I canβt wait to listen to folks across the state and share how Iβm working for Kansas families. See you there!
βGet it all on record now β get the films β get the witnesses β because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.β

@ChrisHarrisKC I don't want to minimize the work. She was part of a wildly successful entertainment product that prints money for the owners and stakeholders. And there are the interviews after halftime and the winning quarterback after the game. But your point is well-taken. What are we doing?
@conor64 I mean...once we've arrived at "the machinery of the state should be used to either deport or kill the people who don't share my ethnicity/ideology", where do we go from there, outreach-wise? At some point a faction really does need to be defeated, not persuaded.
