dude bro & his chicka were standing for the entire game.

Yeah, but in context, Weiters has been crowding the batter zone all series. Happ hit him on a backswing. In the same inning as this, he interfered with a swing.

Men’s World Cup soccer was the one sport where just about everyone could set aside the both the problematic history of this country and its somewhat terrifying future and be a ridiculous pro-U.S.A. nationalist for 90 minutes.

Frankly, I’m kind of glad they didn’t make it. I don’t really think I’d enjoy the ruh-rah ‘Merica bullshit in this climate, and it deprives the administration the opportunity to take that energy and bastardize it.

No fair, the US can’t be expected to beat two nations at the same time.

Haha I know right? I HATED Kaep as a player. Now I love the dude for doing what he thought was right.

Incorrect. “Lovesong” is the best single. “If Only Tonight We Could Sleep” is the best overall.

My obligatory Cure post.

Ah, well then it looks like I’ve once again made a total fucking asshole out of myself

Black men can play football. Women don’t.

Um, do you think I support unilateral declarations of independence on short-notice by uninformed voters? I think that the consequences of secession should be honestly and thoroughly debated before a vote takes place—but if the people still decide to secede, even if that makes them poorer, they should be given the…

The PP (the ruling conservative party) has a way of shooting itself in the foot. In 2004, after they controversially supported the US invasion of Iraq, terrorists blew up a train. They tried to tell the media it was ETA (Basque terrorists) as to not get citizens more angry about their involvement in the Iraq War.

I’ve never understood what the Constitution has to do with secession.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the…

Secession threatens the survival of the union. That was why Lincoln went to war to stop it.

I don’t think that’s a valid argument. If there were a mechanism in place to manage secession, it would not throw the country into chaos to have that plan put into motion.

Whether it is illegal or not makes no difference as to whether or not it is immoral.

The fact that Spanish riot police are attacking firefighters who are trying to protect peaceful civilians is all you need to know.

Read “Homage to Catalonia” to understand exactly what it is to be a people conquered by a fascist dictatorship.
