All the other things aside, building a dome stadium and not a retractable roof one is such a weak move. Football is an outdoor sport.

in a league with all kinds of soulless husks designed to be entertainment meccas instead of football fields, it's amazing how privileged we are as packer fans. so many teams throwing away any sense of history or pride in playing football the way it's meant to be played for the almighty dollar.

Just as he did with tariffs, Trump is abusing “national security” justifications to raise prices for the American people — in this case electricity prices.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

- he appointed a guy who knows nothing about our biggest adversary to negotiate a deal to end the largest war in Europe since WWII
