The FIFA 'peace prize' is the most cringe-worthy, pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life.

In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.

Getting off twitter and the USSF/MLS algorithms has been bliss. But this article popped for me and I see that at least this thing hasn't changed. Our soccer media covering MLS, like a newsmax reporting covering the white house, is still just a dutiful PR firm...

Melania and Barron Trump have dual citizenship (US and Slovenia). Elon Musk has citizenship in the US, South Africa, and Canada.
Karoline Leavitt: “You’re either a U.S. citizen or not — You can’t be a U.S. citizen & a citizen of another country”
The Supreme Court thought differently as it ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it - not that they care

Oh FFS. Great way to normalize Trump's undermining of the criminal justice system when it applies to the wealthy and powerful. We have THE worst leadership.

Fun fact — Chuck Schumer endorsed Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign in *2013*
12 years later: He leads the Senate Democrats, and his hand-picked candidate (who lost to Trump) is headlining an event for the most-read newspaper of a country committing genocide — alongside the owner, a Trump megadonor:

"Since the April election, federal officials have recorded more than 220 meetings with oil and gas lobbyists — more meetings than days. The immense lobbying push was reflected in the federal budget, and continues to shape federal priorities."
The way to read the Canada-Alberta MOU is that Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted. I spoke with @naomiaklein.bsky.social who called it a classic example of the shock doctrine.
Did the climate world misread Carney?
Many in the climate movement saw a fellow traveller in Mark Carney — the man who could preach climate action in the language of finance — but what if they were wrong from the very start?

I mean, the kind of person who would want to spend their Thanksgiving here... these must be people with no souls and gaping voids in their lives. It saddens me.
Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.
Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

What an excellent question. Let's see if he answers.
So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?
