is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

The Dispatch just raised my subscription by $5 a month (despite laying off another batch of hardworking journalists).

So I cancelled my Dispatch subscription and invested in The Disrespected.

This was a great column to begin my experience.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Maybe the most transcendent thing about Darlington Nagbe is that he always seems free to choose. Most of us act from necessity; dribble 'til we're trapped or lose the ball, score as many goals as we can, go as far as our talent will stretch. We don't stop until we have to. Nagbe chooses.

The good news for the #Crew96 front office is that Darlington Nagbe is irreplaceable, so when they never get around to replacing him we won’t be able to be as furious as usual.

The word off the street is now on the street.

How long will it take #Crew96 to replace one of the most legendary midfielders in league history?

Seeing as this opens a DP slot and the billionaire owner just complained about product quality, the wallet better open quickly with no spending limit.
