When you launched a couple of Wiffle homers on a 90-degree day then came inside with your friends and plowed through about a half-dozen of these bastards ... nobody tells you at the time but that’s actually about as good as life gets.
@joeuropa@Mike_Bresson Is that true? In the first match for the US, Tim Ream gor a yellow card for a challenge, but the Paraguay player had taken a dive. VAR intervened, they took away Ream's yellow and instead gave a yellow to the Paraguay guy. Commentators they can do that if yellow is awarded
#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “It was supposed to open Friday, it is not open because Trump says he does not want it open. When this bridge does open some day, if Trump ever lets it open, you should know that there is a competing bridge a little way down the river, a privately-owned very old very congested toll bridge that will likely LOSE some of its traffic…because of competition. It will lose some of its traffic to this pretty, brand new bridge that has just been built. The family that operates the competing old bridge, earlier this year, made a $1 million donation to Donald Trump’s super pac. In short order, a member of that family then got an in person meeting with Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The White House and the pac say that was just a coincidence…but after the million dollar donation, he gets this meeting, and then the SAME day of the meeting, Howard Lutnick calls President Donald Trump and then Trump suddenly discovers new supposedly trade-related reasons why he’s now suddenly against this bridge, even though previously he has been for it.” 🤦♀️
LET’S KEEP IT REAL
According to Trump, Black jobs are in factories. And we already know if a Black person is a doctor, lawyer, engineer, executive, professor, pilot, or CEO, he calls it DEI.
Yesterday, Trump was asked why Black unemployment is still 7.3%, far above the national average of 4.3%.
His answer? Don’t worry, Black workers will do well when more factories and car plants open.
Apparently, in Trump’s America, our future is on the assembly line.
This moment in St. Louis yesterday is precisely what the ABS challenge system was meant for — a strikeout on what was clearly a ball, overturned, and then the game-winning home run.
When 11-year old Ahmir Jolliff was murdered on the first day of sixth grade Trump said, "it’s just horrible... but we have to get over it. We have to move forward."
So fuck him and his stupid ballroom. Let's get over it.
HANNITY: “Where are the pointed words from the Pope against Iran? Trump is correct and the Pope is wrong…on so many levels. As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic.”
Hannity leaves the Catholic Church to worship Donald Trump.
Oh. Lombardi also:
—Made sure his Black players were given time to go to Milwaukee where there were people who knew how to cut their hair.
—Told anybody who would listen that homophobia had absolutely no place in any building he ran (his brother Harold was gay).
—Hated all forms of prejudice because he had experienced so much of it himself.
—Was a Kennedy Democrat who sloughed off Nixon’s potential interest in him as a running mate.
Lombardi would have HATED Donald Trump.
Mike Johnson says "I don't know where Joe Kent was getting his information" in his resignation over the Iran war
I can help, Mike. He was the Director of Counterterrorism. He had access to all the same info you did. He just wasn't willing to lie about it.
The nation’s largest measles outbreak since elimination is underway. Yesterday, the nominee to be America’s top doctor, who doesn’t have a medical license and didn’t finish residency, couldn’t bring herself to recommend the MMR vaccine. She’s called the hepatitis B birth dose a “crime,” refused to rule out vaccines as a contributor to autism despite decades of evidence showing no link, and faces a pending FTC complaint for hiding financial ties to wellness products she promoted as a physician. The FDA Commissioner calling her “the right person for the job” tells you everything you need to know about how far the bar has fallen.
COLBERT on Thin-Skinned Trump’s fascist @jamestalarico ban: “Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this… They're trying to control what we watch, say, read — The most dangerous kind of cancel culture is the kind that comes from the top."
