Shine on you beautiful, beautiful bastards.

The writers absolutely hate it. I think Roth, Patrick, and Burneko have all tweeted about it.

Shades of LeBron to JR Smith. I love it.

The best part of the clip of the foul is Maxi Rodriguez looking at Matarrita like “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, MAN?!”

Soros is Greek? That oughta punch a hole in Fox News’ narrative!

A wall manned by N’Golo Kante, which I think is the key detail you may be leaving out.
