I guess the reason they do third place matches is they are hilarious?

the odyssey is proof of a thing that has been true my entire life: conservatives are giant fucking dorks with zero cultural sway or pull because they are giant fucking dorks

A concerning development surrounding an incredibly obscure process Congress set up to deport some people with connections to terrorism. It comes as the Trump admin has reclassified many gangs as “terrorists,” and accused some innocent people of being gang members.

people now lining up to ask elon musk to loudly boycott their projects too

I applaud the French player’s work life balance. If they make you come in on a weekend you half-ass it, that’s right

At the risk of fanning the flames of this: IW appears to believe that harsh criticism of him personally justifies restricting the academic freedom of everyone. If not, I’d like to hear him say that newly minted academics should be free to say he’s trafficking in bigotry.

Whatever could be said about that claim when he made it in 1962, it soon became undeniable that government vaccine research, distribution, and mandates are objectively among the greatest achievements of civilization. Claiming otherwise is embarrassing, it's like saying you don't wash your hands.

“All the people mocking Trump’s address because his claims were ludicrous (they were) are completely missing the point. He was not aiming at evidence-based voters. It was a call to arms for the kind of people who stormed the Capitol on J6 so when he brings in extreme measures(…) they will be ready…”

“It’s hard to explain to a New Yorker why their needs are not even being discussed, and yet we have billions of dollars to kill civilians halfway across the world,” said Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York on “The Interview.” Watch, read or listen to the full conversation. trib.al/3wdiLUk

Good morning. This is fascism. This is the US Govt creating thought crimes. It’s not about who they are arresting today, it’s about how this vague and threatening pursuit will be used against dissenters. ✨EVERY✨ fascist govt to date, has taken this step. www.state.gov/releases/off...

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

You lose one $800 million lawsuit...

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.

If Spain win the #FIFAWorldCup Marc Cucurella plans to go out on top! 😅

Either Todd Blanche is lying and knows that the FBI works under the Attorney General-which would disqualify him as a dishonest hack Or he’s ignorant of the DOJ hierarchy-which would disqualify him as an incompetent hack

"After enduring months of anti-ICE protests at its bank offices, Citizens Financial Group is parting ways with two for-profit prison operators that oversee detention facilities for the federal immigration enforcement agency." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/17/b...

Absolutely deranged understanding of American government and the current times. The number of Justices isn't even in the Constitution, it's a statute from 1869! It is, in fact, not essential our Republic has a hyper-partisan GOP SCOTUS that makes sure its favored candidates and policies always win.

Homeland Security boss Markwayne Mullin says he's trying to "remove us from the headlines every single day." One way to do that would be if Mullin got ICE to stop murdering people in the streets. But instead, he says, "we're turning up the heat on the streets."

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

What’s it called when the government jails people for upholding the law?

Twitter just got an entire media cycle out of its product head Nikita Bier saying some bullshit about how he’s going to try to make replies better on the platform. Meanwhile they’re suing their own users who use the BUILT-IN CHILD PORN GENERATING FEATURE. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

My first TikTok mentioning China and my first violation/removal. What’re the odds?

The worst part about these people is that they’re getting paid by us to sound this stupid. And will continue to get paid.

Washington Post Stops Short of Being a Real Newspaper

Wait, wait, you're telling me the guy who flattened a co-worker's tire and the guy who did a racist segment in Chinatown for Bill O'Reilly's show is threatening mass rapes against women in Asia? Huh.

incredible -- more than two hours into this morning's Fox & Friends, "fraud" has not been mentioned a single time and hosts haven't discussed Trump's big primetime speech at all. They have 787 million reasons to ignore it.

Anyone else find it suspicious that the White House is releasing a bunch of “newly discovered” findings concerning the 2020 election weeks after they conducted mass firings of career intelligence officers? 🙋‍♀️

The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Honestly, Drunk Rudy was more coherent trying to explain that shit at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in 2020 than Trump was tonight.

Is it insider trading for the president of the United States to sell access to market-moving information for money?

They know they did it and they are responsible. Which is why they will continue to stonewall this. Good for the reporter to keep asking about it and not let this go, because they are counting on people just moving on.

Ossoff: "If there is one person who committed election fraud in Georgia, it is Donald Trump"

When you can’t deflect at all.

Guess who will cover it as credible…

A whole lot of people, at every level, are acting like they’ll never go to prison for their actions, and they’re probably not wrong—bankrupting them up and down the org chart, though… leaving them no guy to turn to for a bailout, a new job, a new grift…

For anyone interested in doing their own research before Trump’s speech tonight… you can read the full declassified report on foreign threats to the 2020 election here. There was NO foreign interference in the 2020 election. www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/d...

There’s a LOT of bad shit going on in this country but to me (yes, I’m biased as a doctor) this is at or near the top. This is infuriating, disgusting, and incredibly stupid all at the same time and I truly hope when this is over this guy and everyone carrying out his orders go to prison

I didn't think the Greenland discourse could get dumber but clearly I was mistaken.

The level of disrespect this regime shows to their fellow Americans reaches a level that’s completely incompatible with democracy. These people literally believe they have the right to kill people who disagree with them. It’s disgusting.

If we enforced the laws this human thumb would be in prison

everything he's attributing to left wing terrorism is just stuff he and trump are literally doing, I think my head's going to explode

Aaaand once again, Maria Bartiromo has emerged as a key figure in getting the Fox News network sued for defamation. This time it’s for helping Kevin O’Leary spread lies about Utahns opposed to a huge, energy-gobbling data center. Probably won’t cost Fox $787 million this time. But it’s bad.

Treat these people with the open contempt they deserve. "What's it feel like to sell your soul to a con man?" "Do you think your grandkids will be proud of you one day?" "Jesus Christ, have some dignity. I can't even look at you."

Please explain to me how the same senators who voted for the Epstein Transparency Acf would now vote to confirm the man who’s leading the continuing coverup of the Epstein files.

Blood-curdling. “Republicans, in backing Trump, have shown that, in the name of marginal and imaginary political gains at home, they will honor no treaties and protect no allies abroad.”

I would just like to highlight here that even bags of meth (or any other drug) do not create justification for the use of deadly force. Even if the subject is fleeing.

NYC Bar opposes the nomination of one of its own members, Todd Blanche, to be attorney general, saying he lacks the basic professional integrity that the position demands. A stinging and very detailed assessment. www.nycbar.org/reports/oppo...

I know its been said but Cabo Verde's astounding performance might actually be underrated
