Italian National Team Coach On Giovinco Snub: Come On, MLS Blows
Sebastian Giovinco is far and away the best player in MLS, a bullshit soccer league more invested in protecting its owners from the forces of competition than in producing top-level competition on the pitch.

They Finally Took Away Donald Trump's Twitter Account
With just two days left in our collective national hell, the Trump campaign is in its final push to do... something.

Did Donald Trump Watch The Same Obama Speech We All Did?
