Wrexham gave Chelsea a helluva gameโ€ฆ

Even down a man, they looked like they could pull out the win.

Back to focusing on making the promotion playoffs.

Iโ€™m seriously allergic to mushrooms and even the smell of them.

My wife made a meal for herself and cooked some tonight.

I now understand what a vegetarian must feel like at a steakhouseโ€ฆ

Utter nausea.

Getting a small wine fridge last year was seriously one of the best items Iโ€™ve purchased in a long timeโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s amazing the difference a few degrees can make to the taste.

Itโ€™s fun listening to callers on c-span who swear they know trump the bestโ€ฆ

None of them are ever from New York or New Jersey.

Because weโ€™ve known him the longest and we actually know him the best.

They know the โ€œmythโ€ and some of the stuff they believe is totally crazy.

I think NATO is much closer to getting involved than weโ€™d think.

Theyโ€™ve seen people like trump before.

Attacking two countries in a week, threatening several othersโ€ฆ

Yeah, Iโ€™m sure discussions have been taking place.

Considering the guy running our Department of Defense (war sic) had turned this into some kind of holy warโ€ฆ hereโ€™s a song by Anthony Dโ€™Amato that says it all.

Take a listenโ€ฆ

Iโ€™m actually thinking governments outside of the United States will put them in prison.

Congress is useless but we are witnessing crimes against the world.

They will be held accountable, imo.

Considering how โ€œreligiousโ€ they areโ€ฆ I would think they will expect accountability.

On Earth, Iโ€™m pretty confident many in the administration will see a jail cell.

Oh, there will be accountability for themโ€ฆ

The trump administration is such a jokeโ€ฆ

I said it months ago and I meant itโ€ฆ

We need NATO to stop trump.

Congress wonโ€™t do it. We need outside help and they know it.

Will that help ever come?

Itโ€™s hard to believe there were actually people who voted for trump because they thought he was truthful, against wars, and was a great businessmanโ€ฆ

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post โ€” including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East โ€” based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

Itโ€™s easy to understand why trump would think Iran forces would simply surrenderโ€ฆ

I mean, thatโ€™s what many US law firms, corporations, and universities did when he went after them.

Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by โ€˜My Own Moralityโ€™

Bayern 3-2 over Dortmund!!!

Kane remains terrific with a brace.

I would love to hear trumpโ€™s response if one reporter has the courage to ask him, โ€œthere are people who think you are attacking Iran to distract from the Epstein files. What do you say to that?โ€

Another HUGE 3 points on the road for Wrexham!

A bit worrying to see the trend of strong first halves and hold on for dear life second halves, though.

But they are still in the race for the playoffsโ€ฆ and automatic promotion is still possible, too!

I canโ€™t believe the people who have been praising the Constitution throughout my entire life changed their views so quickly when one man decided he should be able to rule however he wantsโ€ฆ

I guess Operation Epic Fury is better branding than Operation Please Stop Talking About Epstein or Operation Maybe This Will Help Me in the Midterms or Operation We'll Work Out the Details Later.

I never really understood why more people didnโ€™t look at Donald Trump and think this guy could really destroy everything.

One aspect to the Adam Fox situation that may have been overlooked was the teamโ€™s interest in Quinn Hughes.

Sure every team would have wanted him, but I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s a world where Fox. Hughes, and Gavrikov are on the same team.

That goes with the Olympics snubโ€ฆ #nyr

Wrexham with another HUGE 3 points!

Solid first half, hung on for dear life in the second but come away with a 2-1 win.

Still in the race for the playoffs :)

Some of us are independents that often vote Democratโ€ฆ

We just donโ€™t want to ever have to be in a position where we are supposed to defend someone as awful as trump.

Thereโ€™s nothing to say the Democrats wonโ€™t fall for an unqualified celebrity in the future as well.

It wasnโ€™t for the gold, but the squad was created knowing they would almost certainly have to face Russia to win a medal.

We did it again with a squad created in order to face Canada. It was gutsy leaving off some top players, but early on in the tournament I could see it working. Amazing win!!
