Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the fallout from Trump’s Iran strike as new CNN reporting casts doubt on whether the targeted facility was actually destroyed. They analyze Trump’s meltdown over the report, his shifting rhetoric on negotiating with Iran, and what it reveals about his broader

If a major leap in Iran’s WMD program was imminent, I’d support action. But if this were the case, Trump would’ve presented evidence and easily secured congressional support from a lapdog congress that would let him bomb Indiana. His refusal leaves me skeptical proof exists.

If evidence existed of nukes, it would’ve been easy for a GOP President to convince a GOP Congress to authorize force. We’ll never know if evidence existed, but now we’re at war with a country that never attacked us right next door to the last war we fought against a country that never attack us.

Lindsey Graham said, “I’m willing to risk what happens next” regarding the possibility that USA would go into Iran war with Israel on #StateTV propaganda network.

I oppose war with Iran, but I can’t get excited about Tucker Carlson opposing war with Iran. I’m against it because I’m against unnecessary war generally and because it’d be bad for America. Tucker is against it because he’s gone full Russia flack and Iran is Russia’s middle eastern foothold.

A whole lotta people who were in favor of war with Iraq but now pretend they opposed it are suddenly in favor of war with Iran and I’d like them to skip years ahead to the part where they’re against it but this time I’d like to skip the part where we get into an unnecessary war.

I would support Trump’s birthday military parade if the troops were encouraged to sing original marching cadences authored by E-4s forced to take part in the parade.

My friend Jon Morosi of MLB Network is in town for the Royals-Yankees game tonight, but last night he hung out with the KC Hustlers! Was a blast having him in the dugout talking baseball. He’s good luck too. We won both games of a doubleheader!

What’s a movie or tv show set in the Midwest or south (or a character from either) that irritated you because it felt like the writers/filmmakers either didn’t understand or were making fun of / looking down on the heartland?

Republicans talk a lot about Medicaid fraud to justify their cuts to the program. But they never want to admit where the fraud is really coming from.

PSA: The ads that play at the beginning or end of a podcast and aren’t read by the hosts are almost always placed by Google or the like. Their system sees that a pod is political and they play political ads regardless of the bent of the show. We don’t choose those ads or control what plays.

Trump has spent an average of $42,000 per migrant to fly fewer than 500 to Guantanamo Bay. That doesn't count the $ they've spent flying them BACK to the US after they've screwed up. Currently, there are 32 migrants at Gitmo. Total cost: $21 Million. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Kander: This is a trade war of choice to support Trump's ego, I guess. Gupta: And his bank account. He's leveraging the pressure of tariffs to get favorable private deals for the Trump enterprise... Kander: What an argument! You have to be able to afford less so that the President can get richer.

This is where we're at. Trump is not a President, he's a swindler. Kander: "What an argument! You have to be able to afford less so that the President can get richer."

I want someone to run for President on a two point platform: 1. End daylight savings. 2. No dropped third strike rule in youth baseball.

submitted 63 days ago • 24 comments

The dumbest rule in baseball IMHO is the dropped third strike rule, but I accept that it’s a part of the game. BUT why in the world is it a part of the game prior to high school? Do you know how hard it is to throw strikes as a kid? Why can’t a strikeout just be a strikeout?
