Great piece. I hope it works!

BREAKING: new racist Republican groupchat has been leaked to Politico featuring texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel.

Ingrassia’s texts include vile pro-Nazi & racist messages targeting Black people, Chinese people, and Indian people.
We’re learning that an astonishing number of people who are nostalgic for a society run by bullies, with a clear pecking order, where they can give swirlies to the nerd and reduce the non-conforming girls to anorexia.

They root for Biff Tannen, Johnny Lawrence, and Regina George.

By law the Republicans were required to have a budget for the new fiscal year in place on September 30th.

Anyone seen the budget? Are they are here in DC working on one?

Don't we think media, commentators should be asking Rs where their budget is? Do they intend to actually create one?
Yes, but it’s very possible his hamstring was still bugging him the first few games.
Denver (#1), KC #3), MIN (#6), and LA (#7) all have top defenses, according to FPI.

In that context, the Eagles have played well. I mean, except for the Giants game. That was trash.
The Eagles beat MIN by six and ended the game on the Vikings ten yard line. They never trailed in the game.

Anyone who saw the Broncos game knows why the Eagles lost. Even national reporters commented on it.

They did suck against the Giants
Oh, I posted to show that people are freaking out over nothing. The Iggles are still contenders.

But yes, the Pack have played only one team with a winning record: Detroit.
Vegas has the #Eagles the fifth or sixth most likely team to win the Super Bowl.
This is Philadelphia Athletics erasure!
I’m watching The Boys season one right now. It’s way better than I realized. Arguably more enjoyable than Peacemaker. Villains suited to our moment. Action.

But I do credit Gunn for showing a person really struggling to throw off his upbringing and past and connect with other humans.
Yeah. The cliffhanger wouldn’t bug me if they were going to do a Season 3! But Gunn gets us to care, then leaves him in limbo.
If Gen-X meatheads are capable of any kind of any kind of meaningful contrition or redemption, then Peacemaker Season 2 shows the way. I mostly loved it.
I apologize for being a terrible pedant, but WV didn’t ban slavery until 1865. The issue in 1861 was loyalty to the US and the federal Union.
In fairness, that guy is at Eagles and Syracuse Orange games as well.
Maybe one of the team’s three Jewish players: Stubbs, Lazar, and Bader. But that isn’t as predictive as it once was.
I think we can agree that two datapoints don’t tell us much.
So you say. It’s easy to make statements! For instance, I say that the Patriots got caught cheating twice, with actual evidence, and should have been punished much more severely.

COYS!
