  1. It's fascinating to watch Nikki Haley sell her soul to Satan in real time. This stench will stick to her forever.
  2. We need our allies to be more forceful in their denunciations. We need the United Nations to condemn this. We need help.
  3. US just withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council. The light continues to dim.
  4. As absurd and annoying as it is, this country usually corrects itself after right wing extremism, but never in time to stop it's awful effects. We have to hope that Florida and Texas can be turned solidly blue in order to lock down seats and destroy them once and for all.
  5. There is some bipartisan legislation being drawn up tonight to end this family separation practice and a huge march on Washington and other cities planned in about 10 days. It's safe to say this will be corrected soon. GOP Texas senators Cruz and Corbyn are calling for it. So it's all but over. But it doesn't fix the damage done, and that's what these Trump people need to feel. This whole episode is only going to stoke the flames of resistance in November. Massive own goal by Trump and the GOP.
  6. I don't blame you in the least. This calamity is amazing in it's brazenness. They had to have expected a backlash. It seems like just another chunk of red meat for his racist base. Really lowest common denominator stuff from the USA. Yet again we blow a chance to lead with compassion and creativity. Instead we burn our friends and **** over the entire world. My mother says this is much worse than Nixon. This is easily the lowest point for the country since our civil war. I know I'm prone to hyperbole in this thread, but it can't be understated.
  7. Great World Cup so far! What a game here, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC857Q8BvZw

    Arsenal

    Interesting article. You have to procure outside investment at some point, especially being only 25 years removed from a massive genocidal killing spree. It's a huge hurdle for the country, so if Arsenal FC can help raise the profile of an emerging Rwanda, good. But you can't help but think that maybe that big swath of rainforest will be gone one day as a result of outside investment. These last areas of deep dark continents are poor as f*ck and nobody seems to care about them. Let's hope they don't sell the soul of their nation to MacDonald's.
  9. Are they singing September by Earth Wind and Fire?
  10. What a game. Mexico could have scored 4. They were not intimidated at all and their manager deserves a lot of credit for that performance too. They clearly came with a plan. Their fans made it seem like a home game as well. They can win the group and more if they replicate that form. Historic win.
  11. I've never seen Mexico play this well. Great first half but watch them run out of gas 20 minutes in to second half.
  12. I just ate a tin of sardines with Habanero sauce...I just can't feel guilty about eating little sardines.
  13. Nah, I'm telling you, it's niceee
  14. Gobs of footy and I have no emotional attachment to any of it. It's easing the pain of our Villa predicament..
  15. 5% CBD/ 5% THC capsules from the cannabis dispensary. Pure relaxation and no paranoia. Bliss on a balmy June night. You guys need to press your lawmakers to get with the program.
  16. Lalas is getting torn to shreds on Twitter...he's so arrogant though hatred is like food to him.
  17. They love to keep time..."Goal, 10th minute!"
  18. I'm loving watching these games on Telemundo with the great Andres Cantor, the original "Goooooooooooool" announcer. Easily beats the alternative (Fox Sports w/ Alexi Lalas)
  19. Fantastic game of course, but I couldn't helped but be annoyed by team shirted spectators filming the goals on their phones instead of jumping up and down cheering and shouting. Sign of the times I guess.
