It’s funny because one of the arguments for Trump was “he’s a businessman” but he ran his companies exactly like he’s running the country, into the ground.

NewsMax can read a poll, their viewership wants the Epstein files released more than anyone. Tide definitely feels like it is turning.

It is even more telling that there is zero concern that this is a hot mic moment, the cameras presence is as clear to them as Trump is a buffoon.

Liked: killer tifo to start, played with lots of heart, you could tell that they wanted this win & were clearly emotional in the loss.

Disliked: getting out coached, the late subs, time wasting, missed PK, questionable, inconsistent & generally poor refereeing, not capitalizing on our chances.

And send him a bill for the medical care.

I was almost ready to allow myself joy.

Was about to comment as much, not quite as eloquently but this has to be the rationale.

Jonathan Weldon @iamweldon.bsky.social · 15d

1000% agree. @kairyssdal.bsky.social is one of the many reasons I support my local NPR station

How can we get @jimmykimmel.com to broadcast live from #Portland next week?

Jonathan Weldon @iamweldon.bsky.social · 15d

But think of the ratings bonanza of covering troops on the ground in an American city. They’re not incentivized to protect our democracy so much as they are to report on its destruction.

Cowardice and greed are a dangerous combination.

Beautiful finish by Tolu and fantastic vision from Joao to slip the ball through. The talent is here, we just need to get some momentum, hopefully this is the game that gets us going.

When will a reporter ask the administration which lives we can trivialize as I am sure if this kind of comment was made about CK the pitchforks would be out.

Trump: "I think water fishing, I think almost anything we have to get into a boat right now in that area would not be doing too well."

Holy smokes that was absolute trash.

Jonathan Weldon @iamweldon.bsky.social · 22d

Felt like the ball was moved so far back from the spot of the foul. Why wouldn’t anyone have tried to correct that??

“I think the only thing that moves the needle here… is some sort of national economic strike.”

@profgalloway.com proposes using consumer power to push back against autocracy.

That CJ is willing to use his head to win the game at the risk of losing some of the remaining strands of hair he has left is the kind of sacrifice that you want in a player.
