I think most fans and officials of the USMNT seem to have a good handle on their expectations, mainly qualifying for the WC and getting out of the group stage for at least one game. If they don’t make it out of the Group Stage, it’ll be seen as a set back and if they win a game past that point, then great! Until we…

Except their towns aren’t actively sinking. I mean, it’s one thing to look at all the strung out people living where there’s no work available and blame it all on New York elitists but a whole other thing to be actively sinking, not listening to the people who are explaining to them the very reason why they are…

I want to see this happen just to see how Trump manages to bring up his Electoral College victory

Considering Trump’s not in jail because of Ryan and McConnell’s “see no evil” approach to things, he should go out of his way to be nice to turtles. And jellyfish too as they, like Paul Ryan, have no spines

You could argue that all the Techbros are part of the same continuum in that all it’s the same combustible mix of commerce, idealism, and creativity that runs through the Gold Miners to the hippies up to all those guys living in tech dorms trying to come up with some new app that will make them billions. The main…

It’s part of living in San Francisco- everything in the city sucks compared to the time you moved there.

usually, Trump’s targets are based on his personal animosity to said thing or some perceived slight, all of which makes me wonder what a whale ever did to him

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?

At this point, look at it as the more of these things go on and the more it climbs up the federal dockets, they more chaos it creates. The Republicans might not do anything about it but they’ll be unable to do anything because the White House will mainly consist of lawyers, bail bondsmen, and Steve Bannon by then

The rumor and speculation is that part of the reason why the Republicans are passing their awful health care bill as fast as possible is because they know any day now something awful is about to happen and they could at least claim to have done that

Is this real? I saw that it was a couple of tweets by such luminaries such as Laura Ingraham and Newt Gingrich and then the press sort of hopped on it and now it’s considered a fact?

The key isn’t that he has “vanilla plans” as much as he HAS a plan. Something that Jurgen wasn’t really known for.

the tiny size of the violin I have to play for the Trumps is microscopic to the point of not actually existing

If there’s one thing I’m sure about, it’s this- Ivanka Trump really spends a lot of time thinking about factory workers in the US*

Yeah, there’s been pieces of his financial issues that have come out from even during the election but either nobody has put it all together yet or it got lost in the midst of everything else. Once that thread gets pulled- and it sounds like it might- it’s going to be really hard to defend somebody the FBI says is…

Oh, don’t you worry, they’re investigating Trump’s shitty real estate deals as well as his shitty financial holdings. I’d actually be willing to guess the deals are going to do him in more than the obstruction or collusion charges

I think Dodd Frank is going to be in trouble when it hits the Senate, but the Senate really is just cramming this thing through, democracy be damned:

And while everybody was watching the hearings....

The Republicans are a little too relaxed with their whole “oh, he’s just a dumb idiot who didn’t know what he was doing” meme. We need another tweet or two to put the fear of God back into them

The American Media thing deserves to get bigger play as it definitely leans towards authoritarian type stuff. Trump’s cronies now run the National Enquirer and US Weekly. If you haven’t been checking out the National Enquirer lately, it’s been highly Dear Leaderish and just know people would actually take that stuff…
