Well looks like there are going to be a shitload of penalty kicks this WC.

USMNT 2022
Still seems wrong that two of McKennie, Weah, Aaronson, Reyna are not going to start for us.

MUNDIAL XXII
Truth. It’s just a matter of the rest of the world biting their tongue and getting it over with and then pretending like it didn’t happen. You know….. “the Baylor.” 8 stadiums built on the back of indentured servitude sitting empty 2023 and beyond other than for a shitty Qatari rec league, AFC home games, and the occasional PSG/Barca friendly. Hate to see it but more than that….

So what happens when Clint or someone on set criticizes something about the tourney? Does the country eject them?

The Republican Civil War - it will be because we destroyed ourselves
I am pretty sure a lot of NSRC money went to Rick Scott and promoting his fucking fascist however many point plan as opposed to actual 2022 races. Who chooses head of NSRC because I was stunned he got it in his first term and presume it’s because he’s already wealthy and knows wealthy people. I also presume Mitch will yank him from that position post haste.

If he had given this speech in 2015 he would have been gone like a fart in the wind. Talk about boring.

A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
I posted these ads here a few months ago. Well aware of them. He’s going to pretend they don’t exist. When asked about the presidency he is going to say “I am the governor of Florida. Right now I am focused on Florida.” The dude is going to grey rock Trump as long as he possibly can.

I would not be surprised if Desantis doesn’t address Trump until the last possible moment where he absolutely has to…. Perhaps not until the first debate in about a year from now. I mean, has he said a word about Trump?

2024 Senate Elections
I’d say that Majewski has no chance making it out of primary but MAGA + dumb Rs and one never knows. Perfect candidate for Dem “dark” money.

The Republican Civil War - it will be because we destroyed ourselves
Well, Warren committed a murder the first time she got on stage with Bloomberg, and ended his run. Trump’s treatment of Jeb and Rubio also played a role in their disappointing performance. I’ll agree that it would be tough for a debate to take down someone who is leading. But if Desantis or anyone is scuffling leading up to a debate, a kill shot can be landed.

2022 Election Day Thread - Midterm Rumble
I’m not saying it’s good for the Republican Party. I’m just saying it may work. Scott is more like McConnell the people realize - ultimately a fiscal conservative working ti preserve generational wealth of the 1% (particularly since he is first generation rich) on the backs of social conservatives pushing issues he could care less about to advance his agenda. He has also never aligned himself as MAGA, so can dodge that, and generally is willing and perfectly happy to look foolish on TV to avoid being forced to stake ground on a position or alliance. The dude has a skill set similar to Ted Cruz, except those that like him really like him. He has friends in high places. And he couldn’t give a shit about those that don’t like him. He hates DeSantis (read up on the governor transition and competing inauguration parties) and this is going to be a fight. That it is two Florida governors is just extra.

This is calculated. I am telling you, don’t sleep on Rick Scott. He’s sidling to Trump and ready to take Trump’s mantle in a way DeSantis can’t because Scott doesn’t have a history of public Trump bootlicking (never mind behind the scenes). He’s his own greedy rich supervillain but also self made (with the help of a hint of fraud), which will resonate. I That agenda he put out earlier this year is nightmare fuel, but now he can also claim he has a plan. Particularly since McConnel’s war (the courts) is more or less won. If DeSantis is Brutus, Scott is Marc Anthony. Who is Jennifer Lopez? We shall see.

The fucking sound at the stadium is embarrassingly loud. Totally fine leading into big plays but I don’t need to go deaf at halftime from a fucking Coldplay video. What the fuck, CDC?

A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
Once the House/Senate is figured out, doesn't it make most since for GOP to rip the band aid off an take the short term loss of kneecapping Trump by cooperating with J6 Panel and DOJ? But that's a risk for the GOP if it generates a third party as a result. I think that risk is super low, though. If I was McCarthy/McConnell, and I guess DeSantis symbolically, I'd consider that. It could even be done through silence (which seems to be what leadership is doing now). Cruz will get on board. Let the MTGs and Gaetz's of the world fight for Trump and the GOP can get back to their typical evil ways. Rick Scott is the interesting player in all of this. He sees Trump as a useful idiot and hates DeSantis. I think Scott's presidential chances are nil, but the dude always seems to rise fast to the top of the power structure somehow.

tAll Encompassing Disney Thread
Alright. I am almost 60 days out from my trip (first in 4 years) and start making dining reservations on Monday morning. Daughter and wife are both celiac which sucks, and we are working through where to eat, both on the go and reservations. But this is for my son's 5th birthday. Two questions: 1. Grandparents joining so we have a couple of date nights. We've done the Safari dinner and the Epcot French restaurant. What else is recommended? Particularly on one of the days we aren't going to park (so something in Disney Springs or Boardwalk, etc.). Prefer something more modern that is not a straight steakhouse type place, but open to ideas. 2. My son loves Elsa, Toy Story, and Bluey, and we have our plan for Star Wars area. So we've got that planned. Given last two trips have been daughter focused, though, curious what other hidden gems there are that are more boy focused that are worth checking out, both in and out of the parks. We are kicking around a VIP day if we can convince some friends that are local to join us and defray the cost. If we do that, will report back on whether it was worth it. Seems like the one or two people above that have mentioned it thought it was.
