I thought the American women were the better team and deserved to win; but I thought the Canadian men were the better team and should have one...but for one crucial thing, they couldn't score. The US capitalized on their fewer chances.

"I don't want to use the word 'capitulated', but why they haven't capitulated."

How can anyone take a "diplomat" seriously when he can't even control the words that come out of his mouth.

Or keep putins cock out of it

Yeah, link says it's related to his death. Surprised Trump isn't offering to invade to return order.

Another great episode of DUNK of the Seven Nine Kingdoms. Love the changes to the stories and can't wait for the next season.

Sam Spruell must return.

Canada issued a travel advisory for Mexico

Criminal groups setting up roadblocks in several cities as Sheinbaum calls for calm

Looks like some shits going down.

Likely some chaos from the killing of that drug cartel boss.

Witkoff advising Trump, blind leading the blind without either being able to move their arms or legs.

But together they can grift billions.

Historically, I don't think we usually punish our intelligence folks in cases where the bad outcome happens to other people...those usually end up being "learning opportunities".

On that report's topic of us "believing what the Russians were telling us" about their military capabilities, I would argue it is more along the lines of "believing what the Russian military was telling the Russian leadership" about their capabilities.  They were just as fooled as we were. 

But the Russian military was mostly untested since 2008.  Pounding Islamists and innocent civilians in Syria doesn't count.  And the post-Maidan chaos in Ukraine/Donetsk didn't really either.
