Neither Velde nor Antony have the requisite ball handling skills to work out of being trapped on the sideline. Velde lacks speed; Antony lacks touch. #rctid

Our attack has once again fallen into the β€œcross and pray” category. Of course, we get goals shooting from outside 18, but we insist on lobbing the ball into chaos and hoping for a good chance. #rctid

Just watching each team transition the ball is a study in contrast. VAN does so smoothly, clean passes, controlled touches. Timbers are chaotic, so many overhit and misdirected passes, so many poor touches creating turnovers…#rctid

There was no energy in the press in COL. Same attackers, but no energy.

About 10 min in, CO got control of the pace, slowed it down, and Portland responded with β€œyeah, we hate altitude, we’ll sleepwalk through this.” #rctid

Trump trying to create linkage between Iran and elections so he can justify declaring a national emergency around the midterms and β€œdefend” polling places with military.

I hear you, but term limits are treating the symptom without treating the cause. Disengaged constituencies re-elect bad representatives. We need to get the average American to care about their representatives and replace them when they aren’t representing the people who elected them.

Oh. My. God. They are even more stupid than we thought…

Oh no, he’s that stupid. He thinks tariff revenue can be passed off as β€œtariffs eliminate the need for income taxes.” Sadly, 1/3rd of country are stupid enough to not see tariffs are embedded in prices we pay for imported goods, and that domestic providers will simply raise their prices to match.

Oh no, he believes this. He wants to replace the income tax with a consumption tax because he actually believes tariffs are paid by companies outside the US. He thinks tariffs are the price of access to US market. Wharton, be ashamed you let his Dad buy him your diploma…

Tough for Mora. Guerra and Mora need to be out there - both have noses for ball in 18, head or foot. Maybe we go 3 in back, Chara as sweeper, and 2 rows of 3 in attackβ€¦πŸ™„

I have to admit, I never saw anything special about Bassett in all his time at COL…

I would guess publishing a list would result in multiple lawsuits initiated by the rapists and traffickers. Sure, victims would eventually win, but not without anguish for the victims first. A lot easier to wait for the government to either do its job or formally abdicate its responsibility.

Boy, DDC is gonna have to show us something to earn the 10 role back. I get the shoulder damage meant he needed to avoid contact last season, but we rarely saw passing skills that make him a viable QB for the attack…

Not gonna happen. Imagine what it’s like to be responsible for getting the ball into the likes of Messi…it will take him half a season to adjust how to support the MLS Galactico attack…

Who do we take off to make room for DDC? With Velde, Chara and Bassett running the transition, I’m not compelled to find space for DDC…unless he’s somehow fundamentally more assertive than we saw last year.

No one in government takes an oath to defend the Declaration of Independence…

The Declaration of Independence has nothing to do with how our representative democracy functions. It is a declaration of war.

What we need is to educate the 37% of US voters who put this low-IQ narcissist in office…
