    Hope there’s 10 minutes of stoppage.

    FFS Jordan Morris?

    Shot volume is always helpful in shitty conditions. We should be putting shit on frame anywhere within 35 yards of goal. The keeper is standing in a mud pit.

    Lol, long completely unmarked back post and heads it back to the center instead of the open corner.

    True, that comes from the other shitty part of concacaf. Complete shittastic reffing. Pulisic had been a target since the opening whistle, and the ref just let’s shit go.

    I hate concacaf so much. There is almost zero value and nothing but risk in playing games like this. Whatever toughness you want to say you earn from surviving or winning bullshit like this is worthless in the WC. You’ll never play a game with field conditions like this. I don’t think you would see shit like this in third division games in Europe.
  7. I think it’s just proof of the absurdity of conspiracy theories in general, especially when they involve the federal government. The more people that are involved, the harder it is to organize, keep on script, hide the bodies, etc. Trump’s inner circle is full of true believers and they couldn’t pull this off or keep it contained, but we are supposed to believe that a country wide conspiracy to defraud the presidential vote full full of random minimum wage vote counters is able to stay buried because deep state? Believing these lies (and according to testimony Trump seems to be fully invested) should be an immediate disqualifier for office in any political system for a country with nukes.
  8. Yea, but daytime viewership is probably half of their prime time lineup, and most importantly, doesn’t have enough overlap with the people that need to see this stuff.
  9. They probably are because it’s not prime time coverage. The crazies watch Carlson, Graham, etc, and FN won’t interrupt that echo chamber. The first night Carlson didn’t even have commercials to prevent those people using 2 minutes to flip over and check things out.
  10. This is such a thorough takedown of the big lie, and none of the people that believe it will see it.
  11. She was part of a mob that walked past or through cops all day. She expected the guys behind the doors to retreat when she got in their face, just like all the others had during the riot. She was unfortunate enough to find the guys that had a charge to protect and nowhere else to go. FAFO.
  12. Better up-armor that cab first. It wouldn’t make it 3 blocks without a bunch of holes in it in most red parts of town.
  13. The right has already learned their lesson about one person being able to stop the coup, hence the efforts to replace so many SoS and election boards with stooges, and changing election laws to allow state legislators to put their thumb on the scales.
  14. They not only let the crazies on the door, they put them in the driving seat. MAGAs aren’t giving that up, and most of the R politicians won’t dare cross the crazies because as a twice said, they are addicted to the money and power. The crazies know that they have the same part of the party by the balls because a split vote means defeat, and the right collectively would rather elect a monster (too many to list) than lose, because dead babies.
  15. Will be interesting long term to see how Pence is judged. He did the right thing on that day, but still didn’t roll on all the other illegal/unethical bullshit he saw before, during, and after that moment. It’s bizarre to me that so many of these guys who are burned wrt Trump/Maga, still refuse to come clean and expose all of it. Pence is dead politically, why not take a pound of flesh from the guy that buried you? Is there some misguided notion that the “normal” part of the Republican Party is going to come back to the fore and hes holding out for that? MAGA isn’t going away without a civil war.
  16. JFC, Trump and his dumb fucking staff couldn’t even bother to call anyone to give them some air of deniability for just this situation?
  17. I have doubts about the sustained performance of a 3d printed gun using cheap printers and standard materials like PETG, but even if they get stable enough for sustained fire you can still track ammo sales to find a potential shooter. We track fertilizer and other bomb component sales, it’s not a stretch to drive monitoring that direction. Honestly, it’s probably already happening but is limited to brown people with ME names.
  18. IANAL, but I believe the militia as spelled out in the constitution is there to support “the state”, both federal and state. They fall under the president’s control in case of civil war.
  19. Yea, it won’t impact the criminal side of things really, because criminals gonna criminal. I think the age requirement will head off some of the bigger body counts by limiting the output of the weapons they can buy. Generally most people get better at controlling their anger, or at least cooling off before making decisions as they get older. An 18 year old can still kill people with a revolver, or pump shotgun, but it’s a hell of a lot less than he could with an AR or semi auto pistol and a bag full of magazines. All of this would also need to go hand in hand with stricter laws on gun sales. You sell a restricted gun to an 18 yo, you don’t just get a fine. You go to jail, lose your gun sales license, etc. Ramos would have killed a lot less kids if he couldn’t get an AR. I doubt he knows any black market dealers for guns, so maybe he cools off during the mandatory waiting period and doesn’t shoot grandma. Or maybe he still goes forward, but the SRO and other cops aren’t as scared of a kid with a revolver or shotgun, so they don’t wait a fucking hour to engage. None of this stops crime. None of this stops gun ownership. The goal is to reduce body counts and accidental deaths without giving the right the easy excuse to say no because they are taking muh guns away.
  20. So my solution is to treat guns like cars. Categorize weapons, eliminate the gray areas like AR pistols. Different age requirements for different weapon categories. Hunting guns are cool at 18. Semi auto pistols at 21. Semi auto long guns, 25. License to operate based on categorization. Standard hunting weapons like pump shotguns and bolt rifles? Standard license. Semi auto? Class B license, little more work to do, etc , etc. Require refresher training/testing at certain intervals Insurance requirement for weapons. Categorization drives premiums. Risk factors also drive premiums. You want an AR-15, live in the burbs, and have kids in the house? Man that’s like making your 16 year old the full time driver of a red Ferrari. You can do it, but it’s going to hurt. Standard hunting guns, no kids, verified gun safe? Pocket change. Discounts based on safety gear and number of years of accident free ownership. Policy does not pay out if your gun is used in a crime. This goes hand in hand with some stiffer civil penalties if your gun is used in a crime. Registration for weapons. Closes the loop on existing weapons. Enact a sliding scale of wait period based on weapon category, owner age, other factors. Require proof of insurance at pick up. Will this stop someone from illegally owning a gun, that isn’t registered, that isn’t insured? No, just like all our car laws don’t stop someone from driving a car that isn’t registered or without required insurance. It gives gun owners a financial incentive to do basic things like secure their weapons so a kid can’t use them. It gives the police and prosecutors more things to throw at irresponsible gun owners. Trying to take guns away in this country is a pipe dream, so build a structure around them to increase safety. That’s about the best we can hope for.
  21. That’s an even bigger fantasy than the multi magazine home defense shootout. The government will push that AR straight up your ass. You’re bringing a pop gun to a combined arms fight. Why do you think we are feeding Ukraine with javelins, howitzers, and MLRS?
  22. What does a law abiding citizen need guns for typically outside of hunting?
  23. How often does a law abiding citizen need more than 10 rounds to defend themselves? Where the fuck do all these long gun, multi magazine home defense shootouts happen? It’s pure fucking fantasy.
