A friendly note to the fine folks of the CAARNG: remember now that you've been federalized, the NGB at the Pentagon is now responsible for your duty pay. Remember that when you realize who is notorious for stiffing his contractors.

It's terrifying that I had all the details about this right except the individual he picked.

I'm not disappointed. I'm frelling pissed off is what I am. Bad goalkeeping. Bad defending. Bad everything. This match just oozed rottenness from every bad touch... simply bad beyond all infinite dimensions of possible badness.

Taking out the "End Racism" signs painted on the end zone at the Super Bowl didn't tell us that Trump was a white supremacist. We already knew that quite well. What it told us is that Roger Goodell is a white supremacist.
