Democrats who try to curry favor with Trump Republican voters need to have a hard look at the numbers from tonight. There is nothing you can say to earn their vote. There is nothing you can do to appease them. They will never give you credit for anything. They will never, ever vote for you.

The most principled figure in American politics: a retiring Republican Senator thinking about their book deal

I’ve let you down. I’ve let my community down. I’ve let my country down. I can only say I’m sorry. www.maptap.gg May 19 95🏆 93👑 99🔥 100🎯 88🎓 Final score: 950

As much as I don’t like Phil Knight for a cornucopia of reasons, if the Paul Allen trust sold the Blazers to him, he wouldn’t be pulling this shite.

More Dundon does - the more I think his purchase of the Blazers was purely a financial pump & dump scheme. Not here for the long-term. Doesn’t give two f’s about the community. Maximize the value of the franchise through socializing the costs & privatizing the profits.

Made a joke referencing the movie “Romancing the Stone” and a kid looked it up on IMDB which showed it was made 42 years ago. Excuse me as I get my walker, a warm blanket, & hand out some hard candies to some youths playing their music too loud…

Feel so damn bad for the Buffalo Sabers. Hell of a run.

I consulted the bones & my magic eight ball to guess the Timbers future. It told me that where this ends up is Phil & the team mutually part ways in early August after the last Seattle match & during the League Cup. #rctid

I think we need to have a serious conversation that there might not be a federal government left worth saving by 2028.

Honestly, I just don’t seeing Merritt firing Phil anytime soon. Remember how much it took to fire - whelp - anyone associated with his business let alone the footballing staff. Correct me if I am wrong but the only one he did it to during the season was Jon Spencer, right? #rctid

Sorry to harp on this because it breaks my brain the level of stupidity by the proponents of the MODA expedited renovation. In my time in Olympia, I tracked then all three Seattle sports teams & how they got there or attempted to get their stadiums paid for. Buckle up, it’s a thread…

Well… that was something…. Anyways… #rctid

What I would give for a Goikoetxea to be apart of this Timbers roster. Guaranteed red card but would probably frame the boots he takes Suarez out with.

Ah, now that’s glimpse of the Messi I saw at Barcelona….

Surprised it took that long… #rctid

This Timbers match feels very CONCACAF-y. #rctid

This #rctid match 🤝 my grandfather’s adult diapers. Pants deny Messi.

I bet the fans in Miami paid the extreme mark up price to see the legend that is Diego Chara. #rctid

Pick a Bond from photos you already have on your phone.

I’m convinced now more than ever that Dundon just bought the Blazers for a 2-3 years to pump & dump the franchise. Cut cost, get a new arena deal, sell for 35-50% more than he paid. Everything he is doing. Everything he says. The way people are acting around him. All points to that.

Just spitballing here… if you are already complaining about the cost of running an NBA franchise, maybe don’t buy a team.

I don’t think the proponents of the MODA renovation realize how much they have hurt themselves & their own case by their obtuse arrogance & shoving a bad deal - without debate - down everyone throats. There was a better way where all of this would have been done by now.

LOL. The obtuse arrogance to say to the effect of “Those radical naysaying tax experts say this is a bad deal… BUT what they fail to realize this is a unique circumstance.” Don’t go into public relations or lobbying, Bill Oram. With a skin measured in microns, you wouldn’t last a week.

Again, there was a better way for the MODA funding. They could have made a clean bill in the legislature with a dedicated funding source. They didn’t. They could have had something on the spring ballot. They didn’t. Just chicanery, fund stealing, & a name calling through the local paper of record

"Radical opponents"? You mean 50 years of economic research that consistently finds sports venues of all forms, location, and funding strategies fail to pay off. No worries, "what Portland is at risk of experiencing is completely without precedent." THIS ONE WILL BE DIFFERENT!

Even my weekly sourdough had a great rise. Everything is coming up Milhouse today!

I am of two minds right now. It is hilarious to see every single moron in Scotland lose their mind over how Celtic won the title. I’m also afraid this re-enforces the bad behavior of Celtic’s Board This club will never live up to its potential as long as Desmond family owns the majority of shares

We might get a Celtic Park with South American style razor wire & chicken fencing to keep the morons from storming the field after every goal. Embarrassing.

Did Celtic deserve the title? No. However deserving has nothing to do with it sometimes. Unbelievable.

Again, America’s Keir Stamer…

I demand strict historical accuracy in my movie about witches, gods, and cyclopses.

The Eastern Mediterranean was extremely diverse during the late Bronze Age - especially in the ruling courts where daughters’ were unfortunately used to forge alliances, treaties, & deals. If Helen of Troy did exist, the chances of her being of African descent is actually higher than you think.

This would be equivalent to our generation’s Goikoetxea framing the boots he used to tackle Maradona with. #rctid

The BS flying about Celtic & VAR is a nice hater warm up for the World Cup for when I once again root against ‘them’…

I guarantee that this story would not have been written if it was Rangers, Hearts, or another team who benefited from VAR.

Every time I see Keir Stamer speak, I see Gavin Newsom’s future if he becomes president.

The only way this could be more like the Father Ted racism episode is if he had a slide projector alternating an imagine of himself & the phrase “not a racist.”

Two games left. Currently on ten point. Don’t think they get two points the next two games. That said… *waves arms in the air and shrugs shoulders.* Even if they do lose those two matches, I think at this point we’re stuck with Phil till at least the end of the year…

Happy Birthday to Stevie Wonder. A good day to remind everyone that his 9 album run between 1971-76 is the Imperial Phase that all other Imperial Phases call boss. open.spotify.com/playlist/66m...

Go get some poutine and smoked meat, boys. #rctid

Trying to think of which first name would be the most hilarious for someone with the family name “Longstaff.” Richard or Hugh or…???

Can’t tell you how many of my comments about Montreal is based out of Shoresy’s chirps on Frankie.

Again. Bassett, when on his game, has that DAWG in him. #rctid

If you has the blue coolant stuff inside to freeze and reload it with beer, then this is genius….
