The teaser had left me so exciting but rarely if ever have I paid money to watch something so insipid and insulting.

fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

I've only watched the first period so don't tell me anything, but the American women are incredible. The Italians look as good as the Canadians did, to be honest, but the Americans are overwhelming them. Which is why the true hero of the game so far is Italian goalie Gabriella Durante.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

So true, actually. There is minimal opportunity for Mamdani to be tempted by all that power and bribe money. (Though I submit that the mayor of NYC would still be a significant attractor for bribes, which is why the Cuomos were all over it.)
