I gotta say, the Congressional Baseball Game really pisses me off this year. Trump is trying to implement a police state, Rs on the team are EAGER participants (I’m one of Finstad’s constituents and he loves sending MAGA mailers), and Ds are like, “I say, old chap. Let us play a game of base ball!”

The Klan was humiliated when people refused to cower and just started pointing and laughing at them, and I bet these dance parties are driving human thumb Tom Homan crazy. Crazier, I guess.
