Dave’s not here

A boring life in a boring town with the same old crap/And I used to say I’d never stay but I’m rotting here today…

Today the president will appear at a majority non-white high school in suburban Atlanta, ostensibly to pimp his namebranded savings accounts. However, GOP candidates/lackeys for governor and senator will appear/stump with him, so draw whatever conclusions you want about the true nature of the event.

As the president touts Trump Accounts, some families are still waiting for baby's $1,000 apnews.com/article/trum...

Never did hear an explanation for why the Dems would have “stolen” the presidential election but not Congressional, giving the most moderate, milquetoast D prez ever a recalcitrant R-dominated congress to oppose him on everything.

I like how FIFA says "this is in line with Article 27 of our disciplinary code" and you expect it to be something about the specific reasons when they can undo improper VAR decisions or a review of the specific play but its just "we can undo suspensions if we decide to undo suspensions" lmao

SUSPENSION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF DISCIPLINARY
MEASURES
1. The judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of
a disciplinary measure.
2. By suspending the implementation of the sanction, the judicial body subjects the
person sanctioned to a probationary period of one to four years.
3. If the person benefiting from a suspended sanction commits another infringement
of a similar nature and gravity during the probationary period, the suspension shall
be revoked by the judicial body and the sanction enforced without prejudice to
any additional sanction imposed for the new infringement.
4. Disciplinary measures relating to match manipulation cannot be suspende

FIFA making the rules up as they go along. Whatever you think of the red card Balogun got, FIFA has upheld the red card but instead of a mandatory one match ban, he gets a probationary period. Following rule changes that allowed Ronaldo to swerve ban at the start of the tournament. Ridiculous.

Look I went to the Democratic caucus in Pueblo, Colorado this year--a party faithful event that is so arcane that people don't even know it happens and exists. These ARE the people who knock doors. These are the volunteers. Anyway, so many of them were upset with the Democratic Party.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

In the mid-2010s, Cobb County’s commissioners approved the Braves ballpark 4-1 around 24 hours after they produced a 500-page plan for the stadium and its surroundings. Each of the four approving commissioners lost their next election. It can be done.

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.
