Yup. Even if Trump's policies were both effective and popular (lolololol, I know), Trump's pardons *alone* would be ample fodder.

This weekend Trump pardoned *yet another* drug lord and *yet another* infamous scammer!

This isn't low-hanging fruit, it's fruit delivered in a holiday basket!
And this is so obnoxious because actual-politics is kind of a fucking layup right now.

Your opponents are running a historically corrupt government.

Be anti-corruption. Run on fixing the shit they broke, holding assholes accountable, and improving people’s lives.

Duh.

just a reminder that *lots* of countries have universities, and (to my knowledge) none of them but the U.S. treat their universities as largely minor league sports franchises
LSU is paying its previous football coach over $50 million NOT to coach there while likely guaranteeing Kiffin something approaching double that, all while having an academic hiring freeze and budget cuts across the board. What is the purpose of a university (rhetorical)?
SOURCES: Lane Kiffin is expected to accept LSU's offer to become the Tigers next head coach. Kiffin is set to meet with his Ole Miss team this morning at 9 AM CT. As we reported yesterday morning, LSU has been very confident it was going to land Kiffin. www.nytimes.com/athletic/684...

Oolala! Snoops view as a (currently) happy Red, thanks to the Isak goal. Add to it lads, and keep the clean sheet!

Isak did what I told him! 😂
Not convinced by putting Wirtz in Mo's spot and keeping Kerkez. And Isak better put his skates on today.

But hopefully it'll all work out...

Tyler Adams, of the USMNT, does not score many goals.

He had just eight before Bournemouth’s game against Sunderland across over 300 career appearances.

And then he let fly from nearly the halfway line.
