I'll take it.

The Duffy's are on a paid road trip paid for by companies that the Duffy's regulate. Clarence Thomas frequently takes gifts from his 'friend' the wealthy oligarch. To think how much sweating people have done over their FDF in the government over the years.

Land has always outvoted people. We get it. Rule by the rich. We can toil in their underground sugar mines and have half a day off to worship their deity.

Proportional representation would be nice.

apropos of nothing I call the space to the left of the pitcher and in front of 3rd base "Iowa" when doing infield drills for my softball teams. It was because I was trying to stop my pitchers from making wild throws to 1B when running in the opposite direction (i.e., toward 3B side foul territory). Basically, you might be better off if your momentum is taking you in that direction allowing the 3B to run in and make a throw. I drew a "box" to describe the place where I wanted the 3B to take over the ball and i did such a bad job drawing the box that it looked like the State of Iowa. So, my kids have called it Iowa ever since.

got me curious so I checked Hungarian Origin (Orbán): It is a Hungarian form of the name Urban. It was historically used to denote an "educated man" or someone who lived in a town, rather than in the countryside. [1, 2, 3] Latin Roots: It stems from the Latin Urbanus, which carries connotations of being refined, cultured, and sophisticated due to its connection to city life. [1] Other Interpretations: Some sources suggest that in a Slavic context, the name can be associated with "eagle

It helped so much to get rid of Orban. Can you imagine when if we can get rid of Putin? It probably would still be a baddie in charge but perhaps a better type of baddie.

This is encouraging. We have reached 1939 'appeasement isn't working' stage of the conflict for the dem leaders.

da fuq? That's insane.

So, we have lost our elite SP and our gritty position players are all hurt. I guess we are just left with Paws?

For now though

I deeply regret that 4 week period where I was rooting for Ted Cruz against Trump in the 2016 cycle. The ideal candidate: a person who is worried about how his grandkids (i.e., the future) will think about his legacy. You don't get too many of those.

Good. I'm glad this is a wedge issue. Trump's corruption, imperial excesses and vanity boiled down to the term: billion-dollar ballroom.

I want to level set this topic. Is Fetterman the way he is because he "took a journey" because of his illness or as a reaction to Oct7? Or is he this way because he was always this way? Connor Lamb would have been my preferred Senator there in every way.
