Nazis marching in DC- Charlottesville redux. Fucking racists had to hide their faces! Why? Oh right, because we may find out who they are, they may get fired from their low paying jobs, maybe get harassed by real patriots, and we WILL find out they were pardoned because of their ties to January 6th.

Agree but sometimes I wonder how low key those jobs are.. some could be sitting in the White House🥴

Good point LJ.

I love that someone caught a truly iconic moment on camera in the train though. Privileged young men cosplaying Nazees while a black woman is mentally rolling her eyes at the sheer stupidity we still live in 250 years on.

Schrodinger’s Senator: simultaneously in office and already beneath the floorboards until observation by C-SPAN collapses us back to a single reality.

I write the Argument Field Manual: field notes on bad arguments.

"Schrodinger’s Senator:"...LOL,LOL,LOL.

Sure the Orange Felon is corrupt but FIFA has been historically rotten as well. If Fol Balogun has ANY kind of moral compass, he'll take himself out of the game. Yeah, I know, he won't because he's a big star who maybe got fucked over ( I don't know anything about it because I hate soccer) and why should HE have gumption when obviously no one else does? But every little drop of positivity during last few weeks towards America just evaporated, and the only way it could be somewhat salvaged would be for Fol Balogun to stand up and say, "No, I'll serve that the suspension because the ref thought I deserved the red card, and while I disagree. I don't need some diaper-shat orange felon to intervene on my behalf."

Hey JJ., FIFA & the IOC...so corrupt. And really...if the USA wins...the win will never be considered legit. From the banning of certain countries members, to the racial profiling, to the obvious collusion between the orange urinal cake and FIFA. All the meddling....Everything the urinal cake touches. dies.

Don't be surprised if the crowd boos at team USA. Unfair to the team

( I don't know anything about it because I hate soccer)

Then stfu about things you are ignorant about.

It's Foul all right. I'm sorry, Sam, for the rude reporter. Trump sucks, and he's integrated himself into the World Cup. He can't help himself from mucking up everything in this country.

Kash Patel before he was FBI, that the Patriot Front group were Federal agents doing “false flag” ops to stir up trouble against white nationalist groups and they’d “disappear” once he was confirmed as Director. I wish a journalist would ask him how that’s working out for him. So, I’m betting all my chips that Ms Carroll doesn’t get paid this week, as the court ordered, and there will be no consequences to trump. The interest keeps building nicely on that sum though.

So, now we have two elected Rs who've disappeared for extended periods [Rep Tom Kean, Jr-R, MIA-NJ and Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Weekend at Bernie's?] with no explanations whatsoever to the public they work for. Seems like the next Dem congress needs to pass a law REQUIRING medical absences of elected officials to be fully explained to those who elected them. Damn it!

Hey Sam, Adam & all you SP's here, Congrats to all of you if you survived this weekend with any semblance of sanity left. I had my thoughts about how fucking stupid are the MAGA crowd validated once again by;

A. Them showing up to this joke of an event in 110 degree weather

B. Fighting with the Stasi when they were told they needed to get into shelters because of the storms.

C. The few interviews with these truly jaw dropping stupid people.

And I think that the Reuters photographer Cheney Orr, who took the picture of the young African American woman on that train with the Nazis will haunt me for the rest of my days.

Pamela Fender's avatar

The Reuters photographer needs a Pulitzer for that photo. It sent chills down my spine. Not in a good way.

io bonini's avatar

Yes PF., I am thinking the same thing.

Melissa magic's avatar

That photo is a Pulitzer prize. Could have been Selma, AL 50 years ago

All my mind says about this past weekend’s news is: “Fair is foul and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and the filthy air.” Act 1, Scene 1, MacBeth, Wm Shakespeare. And it ain’t just futbol!

Pamela Fender's avatar

I read somewhere that Mitch is in a coma. Who really knows?

io bonini's avatar

Hey PF., Amazing right? Here we all are wondering if a powerful sitting Senator is dead.

Wondering where a fucking house member was for 4 months and not believing one word he said when he showed back up. And here are more missing members;

McConnells wife left the country for China days after her Hubby was admitted to the hospital.

Pamela Fender's avatar

Yikes!

And they are going to hold McConnells death hostage because on August 3rd, Beshear won’t be able to fill that seat since it’s 3 months before the election.

Michele Ashton's avatar

Kentucky State Police need to investigate now!!

io bonini's avatar

You know MA., I'm thinkin' that since it's Kentucky...they're on board with the feds. Apologies to those of you here who live in Kentucky, who are not in bed with the Fed. I wonder if someone here who does live in Kentucky could make a missing persons report. LOL

Michele Ashton's avatar

agreed - but Andy Beshear is the Dem Gov and he should be able to get something done. And I'd back him for Pres too. No baggage.

io bonini's avatar

Here's hoping your right MA....

io bonini's avatar

OMG PF, Yes, they will. We need so many new rules. This is insane. I mean I thought pushing poor Dianne Feinstein around the halls of Congress was obscene.

But these MAGAS are so criminally disgusting.

Trump is a liar, and everybody knows it. If he says he did not put pressure on FIFA regarding Balogun's red card, then he definitely did.

Those cosplay wannabe chickenshits wearing their underpants on their heads are def unfuckable pussies. Send them to Iran if they’re so desperate to mix it up.

Leslie Pruski's avatar

It is obvious to me that everything Trump touches dies as I sit here watching the USA men’s national soccer team suck.

Pamela Fender's avatar

Just heard from David Packman that Kentucky law states that Governor Beshear won't be able to appoint a replacement; there would have to be a special election. Ugh!

Janine Black's avatar

If somebody had a spine and upheld the ruling in FIFA, there wouldn’t have been cheating. But again, somebody gave President Ass Wipe a shiny little bauble that meant nothing at all!

Cheryl Foster's avatar

Thanks Adam and Sam for today's truth and humor! We needed it

FIFA corruption log:

2006: awarded the world cup to Germany, when it was supposed to go to an African nation (they made up for it in 2010)

2018: awarded to Russia (because Putin)

2022: awarded it to a country that doesn't have a professional soccer league, and is too hot in the summer months to play (so they changed it to be Nov-Dec)

2034: awarded to Saudi Arabia
