Congrats #Whitecaps!
Too bad the final isn't in Vancouver because we know Messi wouldn't show up.

It's one of the great frustrations of this historical moment that thanks to Trump's fire hose of vileness, individual moments are forgotten. Something like this ought to be enough in and of itself to prove this man is a cancerous boil requiring emergency surgery.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Very difficult to believe this isn't some kind of theatre, but apparently not. I have never seen a parody or extreme characterization of MAGA people that tops this reality:
On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

If you are talking about "the wind in the sails" of separatism, it's fair to say that Danielle Smith blows.

Sorry, Trump's response does not show "intensified" anything. It was as predictable as leftover turkey sandwiches. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/u...

Two different white people attempted to assassinate Donald Trump in 2024. The suspect in the Charlie Kirk murder is a white man. Yet white people are still allowed to walk freely in the United States of America. Make it make sense.
