Way to counterpunch Chiefs! Hunt for the rushing TD. #kcchiefs

Better not hear about officials “helping” the Chiefs after this one. On that TD pass, Karlaftis got held and Schultz shoved McDuffie to the ground before catching that pass. #kcchiefs

LOVE this opening drive for the Chiefs. Lots of players involved. Effective running and passing. Overcame the one bad play (penalty). TOUCHDOWN! #kcchiefs

Vaccines are why 1 of every 4 of us didn't die in infancy.
Fluoride is why most of us keep our teeth into old age.
The ACA is why 21 million of us can see a doctor.
The FDIC is why we don't lose our life savings.

And a handful of GOP billionaires want to take it all away.

My rage goes back and forth from "What the fuck is wrong with Americans?" to "Fuck them all - they'll get president and the country they deserve." The fact is I will probably be fine no matter what. But I wanted OTHER PEOPLE to be fine.

Bill Belichick took the UNC job? I guess he wanted to be able to walk his girlfriend to class.
