So can we stop trying to make men's soccer happen in the US? Our women are a lot better. It could be the first major league sport where the women's league is the premier and the men's is on the Ocho.

This would probably make Trump have the embolism he's been working on since the mid-90s, so dear God 1000% yes.

People are less inclined to give their kids TBI playing AMERICA'S SPORT and soccer keeps growing here, so our massive talent pool will pay off eventually.

Dude it's the same poo poo as lacrosse where the only investment comes from upper-middle-class white parents sending their kids to multi-thousand dollar camps.

Edit: the official Epstein story is that he went from nobody banker who was fired for fraud, to high school physics teacher at an exclusive private school, to (?????), and then all of a sudden has a nine figure net worth as a financier Playboy. There's a lot of questions on what exactly his money was about.

So basically there's no way he doesn't "fall down the stairs" before trial gets underway

Dunno, he was kind of a nobody Senator until Obama picked him so he wasn't a big enough player to be hanging with Epstein back in the 90s and 00s with Trump and the Clinton's. Now of course it's certainly possible Biden was dumb enough to jump on Epstein Airlines after he got out.

I'm figuring since he's basically doing a metoo in every picture he's in with a female regardless of their age he sure seems like an appropriate candidate.

I'm not, nor have I ever been, a Midwesterner but my mom tried the cracker/sauce/cheese/pepperoni thing with me when I was a kid and we never did it again because it sucked balls.

First thing that went through my mind when I saw the story was that the butler is going to be dead very soon. Then I found out he was already dead :tinfoil:
Second thing was that Trump is going to tweet that it's a fake news witch hunt but that the Clinton and Alec Baldwin parts are definitely true though.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/07/deutsche-bank-will-exit-its-global-equities-business-and-scale-back-investment-bank.html

quote:

Deutsche Bank announced Sunday that it will pull out of global equities sales and trading, scale back investment banking and slash thousands of jobs as part of a sweeping restructuring plan to improve profitability.

Deutsche will cut 18,000 jobs for a global headcount of around 74,000 employees by 2022. The bank aims to reduce adjusted costs by a quarter to 17 billion euros ($19 billion) over the next several years.

The German bank’s decision to scale back investment banking comes just two days after investment banking chief Garth Ritchie stepped down by “mutual agreement.”
...
Deutsche reached a $7.2 billion settlement with the U.S. Justice Department in January 2017 for allegedly misleading investors in the sale of mortgage-backed securities in the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis. Weeks later, the bank was slapped with a $630 million fine over allegations of Russian money laundering.

Those penalties came two years after the bank paid a $2.5 billion fine to U.S. and U.K. regulators for allegedly participating in a scheme to rig interest rates.

Deutsche has come under renewed scrutiny in the U.S. over its business relationship with President Donald Trump. The House Intelligence and Financial Services Committees subpoenaed Deutsche in April for records on Trump’s finances.

Trump and his family sought to have that subpoena squashed in court, but a federal judge ruled the bank can turn over financial documents to House Democrats.

Somebody brought that in to a potluck at work a few years ago as a vegetarian pizza. It was good enough as a finger snack.

A vegan pizza from Whole Food is really good though and I recommend everyone try it at least once.

The only stuff I can eat that’s vegan, is stuff that doesn’t try to be non vegan food. I’ll eat the hell out of a regular vegan meal plan, but when people have to say things like “you don’t even notice it’s not cheese!” I immediately think about how much better actual cheese would be.

The only caveat is soy chorizo from Trader Joe’s. I’ll eat that all day.

I love vegetarian bacon, but I eat it knowing its not real bacon and can't even be compared.

Thats how I approach most vegetarian X things, and very little of it has been horrible.

Agreed but the beyond burger and beyond sausages I tried were pretty good.

Still not as good as the real thing but good enough that if they were cheaper I'd willingly substitute some of my meat consumption for the sake of not making the earth uninhabitable.
