All the arts and languages, cultural studies, the Bible, Cervantes, Borges and the streets I walked. Politically independent and in favor of common sense.

This was a very good game: hardly fought, show of quality and engagement, virtuosity and recovery after mistakes. Gotham getting better, and Racing growing stronger and stronger.

Great young player, but her out-of-zone kick is beyond surprising.

Saruman Trump is just a puppet, but Zelensky looked stronger than before. Good for Ukraine. Everybody knows Sauron is not in a position to take over anything, Mordor's wishes don't translate into reality.

Just in case you thought this time Putin's puppet was different:

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Putin’s terms or be ‘destroyed’ by Russia

US president tossed aside maps of Ukraine frontline in volatile White House meeting

She needs to do more of that. That's her way.

Watching the game now, I’m realized Robison hasn’t been called to the NT. She’s very good, resourceful, consistent, solid. They need somebody like her in the back. The attack has also serious problems as the Triple Espresso doesn’t exist anymore and the young players don’t share the ball.

KC is the champion. And it seems Spirit won’t be in second place.

Haven’t we been through all this several times already? Still believing Trump? Gaza’s genocide is a very different case on which Trump just wrote the epitaph after siding with the perpetrators. The real problem Trump has is that Ukraine is armed and not a country Putin/Netanyahu can destroy.

More depressing is a genocide. But, c’mon! You cannot pretend nothing happened and merrily go around singing football songs at a stadium. Besides, locals are not going to react as the Jewish hooligans are not precisely cute children. We already saw that in Amsterdam.

That’s the GOP golden dream; to have sick American population full of hatred to be manipulated.

The organizational principles applied here to mitigate the lost of professional preparation could certainly be reproduced in other fields.

So, Hamas stays armed and in power? And Netanyahu too? If they are the winners, who are the losers? Right. The innocent victims on both sides who died for them to keep control.
That’s the best example of how corrupted politicians work together, beyond their fake declarations.

2/3 of the armed forces voted for Trump. This one belongs to the 1/3 with brain and consciousness.

Unfortunately, he has said everything possible not to be perceived as a pragmatic who will work for all nyorkers but for his ideals. His only real chance is that the other two candidates are clearly the worst possible option.

HoracioTraveler @horaciotraveler.bsky.social · 5d

Inconclusive take.That’s possible only because they have the power. It’s a political, ideological issue, not a humanistic one, not a gender or skin color problem per se. It’s a matter of who is in command, who makes the rules. Don’t like them? Throw them out.

HoracioTraveler @horaciotraveler.bsky.social · 5d

Ok, genius.

HoracioTraveler @horaciotraveler.bsky.social · 5d

That only means republicans know politics is a dirty, unethical business and take full advantage of it.

HoracioTraveler @horaciotraveler.bsky.social · 5d

The only solution is to get a majority of progressive judges in there and erase the damage perpetrated by MAGAs. But Americans will never do that. Never. They will call that anti-democratic 😂😂😂

HoracioTraveler @horaciotraveler.bsky.social · 5d

Trump wants him to be director on national parks. Maga!

HoracioTraveler @horaciotraveler.bsky.social · 5d

MAGA (make Argentina great again)

He doesn’t look an undocumented immigrant, does he?

HoracioTraveler @horaciotraveler.bsky.social · 5d

See the pattern now?
