Yep.
Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball to score a goal. Unqualified, the word football generally means the form of football that is the most popular where the word is used. Sports commonly called football include association football (known as soccer in Australia, Canada, South Africa, the United States, and sometimes in Ireland and New Zealand); Australian rules football; Gaelic football; gridiron football (specifically American football, arena football, or Canadian football); International rules football; rugby league football; and rugby union football.[1] These various forms of football share, to varying degrees, common origins and are known as "football codes".
And though the jokes about gridiron not actually using your feet much are understandable, kicking the ball might not be the reason any of these sports are called "football". It's actually possible it's because they are played on foot, to distinguish them from horseback sports like polo, which were more of a thing at the time they were named.
There are conflicting explanations of the origin of the word "football". It is widely assumed that the word "football" (or the phrase "foot ball") refers to the action of the foot kicking a ball.[13] There is an alternative explanation, which is that football originally referred to a variety of games in medieval Europe that were played on foot.[14] There is little conclusive evidence for either explanation.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that all the guys going from scamming you on infomercials into politics seem to end up in the same party. I'm going to count televangelists in that too.
Never lose that child-like ~~wonder~~ narcissism.
The DNC has a plan for that where they just ignore the vote and nominate him anyway.
Republicans who personally benefit from a specific program think it should be funded and Republicans who don't can't see why they should care about anyone else. News at 11.
Those same people on ACA wouldn't want to fund SNAP or Social Security or whatever else unless they personally benefit. It's a lack of empathy from all involved, and the the disagreement comes from whether or not it affects them personally.
I don't think he listens to what people tell him anyway. I think he just has the whole conversation in his head and then remembers it that way.
Netanyahu was indicted in 2019 in three separate corruption cases regarding allegations that he took more than $200,000 from wealthy businessmen in exchange for positive media coverage for himself and his family.
Well that doesn't make sense.
Turns out those are separate cases. He took money and favorable media coverage in exchange for favors. (allegedly)
That's been the case since "some of them, I assume, are good people".

I agree. It's not the praise itself. It's that he made you do it.
