Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views
Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes?
Con: LOL no...no not those views
Me: So....deregulation?
Con: Haha no not those views either
Me: Which views, exactly?
Con: Oh, you know the ones

there's a certain kind of leftist who sees these statements and posts "they're finally telling the truth it's a war for oil" when the real explanation is that they're saying it's a war for oil because Trump's precise mix of stupid and evil means he thinks war for oil is real, but good

they're saying it on tv for Trump!
Trump has no interest in psychotic anticommunist ideological freak shit, but he loves spheres of influence politics of domination and "take the oil" so they're using this rhetoric to talk him into war

I've been confused why Republicans have been going on tv and saying they want to go to war for oil in Venezuela because
1) it makes objectively zero sense
2) these are psychotic anticommunist freaks who obviously want to go to war for ideological reasons
but I found the explanation!

Smugly pointing out that your opponent’s dozens of military medals are out of order is one of the weakest dunk attempts I’ve ever seen. Basically slamming the ball into the bottom of the rim
When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

The way this ends/normalizes is these rights get gobbled up by international streamers.
The problem with it ending that way is they get gobbled up for pennies and leagues lose a (in some cases THE) major source of revenue.

the economics of league football outside a few large countries keep getting worse and worse
The news that Belgian football feared: as happened in France, DAZN is pulling out of its broadcasting deal with the ProLeague with immediate effect. Should no solution be found (which appears the likeliest scenario), the league's 16th round will not be broadcast in Belgium.

This post by the USLPA needs to be seen and read.
The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message.

fun fact, the last time James Carville came up with a great campaign strategy that achieved a better than expected result was 33 years ago
If you like the idea of Democrats going all-in with a genuinely progressive economic message, that's great. You should support people who run on that. But if you support James Carville's take on it which, in his mind, requires sacrificing marginalized people to do it, you can fuck the fuck off.
