Much like my interest in coffee, I too share USMNT’s disinterest in defending itself from outside attacks

i forgot to repost this very good joke during the actual match so please appreciate it now thank you

*taps sign* The government running party primary elections instead of letting parties pick their own nominees in the manner of their choosing is a weird American thing that eviscerates the fundamental purpose of political parties and it's bad, actually.

OK sure, great, but I don't that helps much. He's 80 years old, woefully out of shape, and probably doesn't even know the rules.

Happy Independence Day, from the god Jack Handey.

The Founders wouldn't be shocked by the abolition of slavery, though perhaps more by equality and integration, and ditto for women. Nor even by technological progress as much as we might think. Such ideas were not unknown to them. But they would be flabbergasted and astonished by an American pope.

Cabo Verde went the distance against the reigning World Champion in the U.S.A. on the eve of the 250th 4th of July. That's friggin' Rocky, but real life.

Cape Verde defeats Argentina via a 2-3 loss in extra time

They picked someone with top 5 econ training because they knew even if he couldn’t advance (on) the field he’d be good at rejecting other people’s submissions

Dramatic scenes from Caracas as a powerful earthquake interrupted play at Universitario Stadium. The shaking was strong enough to pause the baseball game and capture the attention of everyone in attendance. Original post

In accordance with ancient tradition, our next Prime Minister is announced to the nation while standing between a furry and a man with a bin on his head.

Well, that was a fucking ride.

Brooks Barrett has been waiting his whole life for this.

Seeing a lot of fair weather Cabo Verde fans jumping on the bandwagon and it’s disrespectful to those of us who remember the Alexandre Alhinho years

OH MY BAD THERE IT IS

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

Remember Yogi Berra, for example, who was shot through the hand as a boat pilot at Omaha Beach. He never applied for the Purple Heart as not to worry his mother. The next day he helped clear the beach of bodies. He was asked how this affected him. He replied, "Baseball ain't hard."

I was today years old when I learned that Anthony Stewart Head was Murray "One Night In Bangkok" Head's brother.

I want the Spurs to win because I want those nuns to be happy.

Repost with the Russian agent that spies on your posts. (My headcanon is that in the epilogue to The Americans, Paige ends up running a Russian troll farm.)
