Germany punched their ticket to the World Cup with authority, today, beating Slovakia 6-0 in Leipzig! After starting qualifiers with a disappointing 2-0 loss away to Slovakia, they seem to have come full circle.

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

I didn’t realize that @fcstpauli.com’s Daniel Sinani was a Luxembourg international, but he was one of the better, more dangerous looking players against Germany, today. #LUXGER #UEFAWorldCupQualifiers #Bundesliga

The Replacements briefly covered "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" on Oct 15, 1985, the first gig of a 5-night homestand at the 7th Street Entry, opening with a song off their new album "Tim"—"Lay It Down, Clown"—and this was next. Video image is the Entry + the Fitz

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
