I can't stop thinking about this and wonder if it foreshadowed Belgium's overconfidence or desperation

LOL. Romelu Lukaku is starting. Garcia had suggested yesterday his veteran striker would again be a "super sub" Said he didn't want to wear his veteran striker out.

@booker.senate.gov You continue to be the absolutely most disappointing human being. Even when the bar lowers, you find a way to not meet it. Just an absolute embarrassment to brown men everywhere.

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

We often compare this administration to Idiocracy To be fair,the Camacho administration was just really dumb, not malicious. In retrospect, Idiocracy was actually really kind to Americans and our values. It painted us as a bunch of dummies unaware of our violent policies and philosophies

Team Stansfield!!!! I had no idea who this guy was before now but my wife and I both wish we voted for him! Dark horse Republican candidate threatens California Democrats’ US House redistricting goal apnews.com/article/cali...

Dark horse Republican candidate threatens California Democrats’ US House redistricting goal

Michael Stansfield never expected to be a major player in California politics when he threw his hat into a congressional race as a Republican agitating for peace in the Middle East.

It's impossible any political party can be this incompetent. California Democrats did this on purpose. We LITERALLY redistricted to dump Kevin Kiley. That was the whole point. So now we're here and need to run ONE candidate to unseat him. Thien Ho is already the (D!) incumbent.

This is conspiracy masked as incompetence. We redistricted Kevin Kiley out, then ran THREE establishment Dems (Tomlinson, Ho, Pan) against him to split the vote and create an opening for ANOTHER Republican. #Democrats continue to deserve losing every election and we continue to be the suckers

#JstreetPAC is the new #AIPAC. In California we have a lot of Dems running against each other with similar campaigns, checking who JStreet endorsed was the easiest way to weed out candidates

This is a level of creativity that I am just not capable of Genuinely in awe

This is absolutely fascinating, Trump administration is basically telling Arabs if they can't get Iran to capitulate, then THEY have to capitulate because this war can't end without Israeli victory. #abrahamaccords

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the ONLY possible result of negotiations with Iran is one of the following unthinkables: 1. Break ties with Israel and allow Iran to be a normal country participating in global trade 2. A cold war where they toll the Hormuz 3. Ground invasion 4. Nuke

My wife just carried a dead rat through the house and I'm 99% sure she did this just to hear me squeal like a bitch..... and honestly, well done.

Catching up on @atrupar.com and apparently Marco Rubio said Iran is "insane in the brain" and "need to check themselves before they wreck themselves" and at some point Fox News asked him what his DJ name is... Honestly this wouldn't be as dire a situation if they weren't literally killing people

This is what it looks like when a good person becomes a political leader. If your mayor/Congress person wanted to, they would.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

I'm sure I'm jynxing it, but games like this are hard for even the #knicks to choke bc, even with 15 point quarters, you're still getting to 100 so the other team needs 25 point quarters just to catch up. Meaning the 6ers have to rain buckets and Knicks go ice cold. 74 is just a lot. #nbasky

In 2009 I was a pissant at a non-profit Another Choice, Another Chance. Our boss had bought everyone tickets to a "leadership conference" held in an arena where Giuliani was a featured speaker. I wrote a letter to my supervisor objecting to the invite and asked that I either be disinvited

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo ago

This is an absolutely demented statement from the president. He lost the 2020 election and that has nothing to do with Giuliani’s health problems.

The infuriating part will be the whitewashing of this period in time and the eventual acceptance that voting is a privilege, not a right.

What the fuck is the eastern conference
