I say, why not trust him to track every American in every way possible?

I wonder if he's so dumb he believes what he's saying or if he's knowingly telling blatant lies. It's one of the two.

Still waiting for a conservative to say anything funny, ever.

You might say he... chickened out? Almost like Trump always chickens out?

More people who think they're heroes for stepping aside and making things easier for Trump. All they're doing is lubricating his path.

It's not "so", it's "and".
Kicking millions of people off Medicare is a feature, not a bug; they'd do it regardless. Why? Everyone needs to be desperate under the regime.

Everyone has known this in their hearts since November.
There's a reason Elon said Trump wouldn't have won without him, and directly said what the electoral results would have been!

To replace who?

Anyone with profound anger towards Barack Obama and his choices is either (a) a devout racist or (b) completely ignorant to any practical realities of governing.
Which you be?

Pretty disappointed in this headline, which implies she has actually done something criminal in nature, opposed to the brazen political madness that this is. I can't fathom what the grand jury was thinking.

*He's* not using heavy force unless he sits on someone.
He would issue unlawful orders and someone with a gun would need to carry out an unlawful order. That person would be as much a criminal as Trump himself.

That is, unfortunately, still too high a bar for *many*.

I've said for years: if you're with me on (1) not destroying the planet and (2) not destroying democracy, then everything else is trivial in comparison and we can be friends.

They've made it explicitly clear: they know and they don't care. Presumably because those deaths are largely the culling of non-workers. The Lords need their serfs and *only* their serfs.

Even the notion that one can be the judge of a "bad take" is a bit much for me. You didn't agree with it, that doesn't necessarily mean it was bad

Who cares if it's a peaceful protest, frankly?
Was Jan 6 peaceful?
Is what ICE is doing peaceful?
The only issue is if non-peaceful actions are directed where they don't belong!

Would you rather see him as a 42 pitch opener or a 42 pitch bulk guy? These are the options.

Oh darn! I was hoping to catch the ferry over and catch one of his starts. I better hurry or I'll lose my chance to see Nirmala!

The way I see it, at this point when Bowden starts, there's a 62% he won't give the team a chance to win. And that's the most unforgivable stat.
But I guess 15 is the most statistically significant number, so give him 2 more starts to bring it down to 50%? (He has 13 starts now)
comment in response to
post
Bowden's average start is:
4.2 IP
4 ER
5 H
2 BB
4 K
(1.5 HR)

I was reviewing his 2025 starts today (after calling for him to be optioned):
5 good starts
8 bad starts
That doesn't sound too bad when you put it that way. But the good have been quiet and the bad have been loud.
Most telling though: his 1.56 WHIP. That's just not MLB caliber.

I don't care if it's a left wing bubble- Fox News is a right wing bubble, and it sure as hell did weaken conservatives!
comment in response to

You option him and put 3 kids in a trenchcoat in his place. He needs to learn to pitch again and it can't happen while hemorrhaging runs in MLB. Literally anyone would be a better option right now.

I think "heavy handed" is a gross understatement. Given the context, I'd say even "authoritarian" would be an understatement.

'Oh sure, it's happened, but it's not a *pattern*.'
- 'It's happened a minimum of 11 times.'
'Well I think a pattern is at least 14 times.'

The only resignations that would have any symbolic or practical benefit would be those of secret service agents, especially if they were en masse.
comment in response to

How are you resisting anything by leaving? It's literally the opposite of resisting, and is entirely self-interested. Hundreds of federal resignations have lubricated Trump's path *and* have the lasting consequences of entrenching MAGA loyalists as their replacements!

All for *one* reason: Trump.

They're both going to have a tonne of boycotts from both fans and athletes. They'll both have asterisks on them in the future and be historically unsuccessful by every metric (money made, records set, public interest, societal significance, etc).

It's gonna be a real travesty if the next Dem ticket isn't Murphy/Octavia-Cortez (and yes, I do think AOC should be POTUS, but that America *clearly* isn't ready for that)

Why would they want to ban literally the post neutral news source in the country?

The press secretary *swore* he would never step foot on American soil again. It's almost like these are unserious people or something...

It guts everything that has any benefit to the working class and grossly undermines democracy and oversight, while giving trillions to the wealthy, and his dealbreaking complaint is that it doesn't cut enough for working people!

So if you threaten to murder someone... It's no problem! Just words. Just talk.

My very first thought upon this last election was: he just gonna get control over and then lie about the data. Mostly economic; lie about job numbers, growth, GDP, etc. But there's really no limits; lying about crime rates, climate disasters, pandemic outbreaks... Nothing is off the table.

Could that letter have possibly said any less than it did?

ON TOP of all that, every 5 immigrants produces at least 2 new jobs for Americans. The ripple effects are almost incalculable. Everything Trump is doing will destroy the economy... But in a way that transfers all wealth from the middle and working classes to the already wealthy.
Peasants and lords.

Note that none of those 4 reasons have anything to do with the explicit (dishonest) reason Musk gives.

John Shorthouse is the best in the biz. These scores are really just indicative of how glib the fan base is.

I wonder if such public statements are meant to bolster his team's confidence, but internally it's far more tempered because the Athletics are the worst run prevention team in the league... and the Jays had just scored 6 runs in 6 games against mid teams. I *am* holding my breath.

We all watched Batman and at some point thought: where do all these hired goons come from? Who would do this job?
Now we know.
