Exactly

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 2h

I thought that was in!

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 2h

If we didn’t know the commentators weren’t on the stadium before…

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 3h

Yeah. A little grim. Still, it’s early and a win today puts them right back in the mix, at least for CL spots.

To be fair, Gym Jordan has a LOT of practice feigning ignorance.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

I’ll take it! #ARSBHA

OMG if any sport SCREAMS “private equity-esque,” it’s pickleball.

James Hell Brooks @kleinman.bsky.social · 15h

I don't know if the Savannah Bananas are private equity owned but they have private equity vibes. Same goes for pickleball and Dubai chocolate.

I looked there too, lol. I guess time will tell. The studio commentators also saw the card get flashed but didn’t seem to know at whom.

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 15h

Unclear. I think an NC player. One of their players was calling for a handball to be called against us and stoppage time… and it was borderline… and I think she may have continued to express her disagreement with the ref’s decision after the final whistle.

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 16h

Someone just got a red card after the final whistle in NC.

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 16h

Welp. We really needed to kill this game off.

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 16h

Shut up, dude whining about time wasting.

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 16h

I thought that looked offside.

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 16h

TRINNNNNN!!!!

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 17h

My goodness, WHAT A BALL from Croix. #THATSTHESPIRIT

Turned on the US game to see we’re loosing. It’s going to be embarrassing when we don’t make it out of the group next year.

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 1d

Yup

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 1d

All so that Amazon doesn’t lose its govt contracts.

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 1d

Of course, that call never happened…

And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Sounds good to me!

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

I guess the Amazon Post’s 23 remaining subscribers will have something to talk about tomorrow when someone else wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

James Fallows @jfallows.bsky.social · 2d

A columnist still at WaPo.

Headline: "Yes, Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize."

RhettDC @rhettdc.bsky.social · 2d

Well, fingers crossed for them Monday. Hopefully they can staunch the bleeding for the rest of this match.

AMERICA FIRST!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. has “directly purchased Argentine pesos,” and the Treasury Department has “finalized a $20 billion currency swap framework with Argentina’s central bank.”
