Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I swear to god I enjoy MLS but it’s like they couldn’t decide how to pick a playoff format OR promote it. I hear more about Rivalry Week and Decision Day than playoff matchups. It’s near impossible to follow. And why does the app take 6 years to load? And and and and
