Plus oath-breaking, Constitution hater.

def Worse still, we are heading for another global pandemic.

Also, lets create the conditions for WW3 by backing out of our defense commitments.

Eddie Murphy doing Tracy Morgan was awesome!!!!

watching the special.. The first sketch was zany...bizonkers.

I'm learning from Detroit Tigers bsky that the ladies and the gays really like Jack Flaherty.

Collective security is communist dontchaknow

Listening now to Motor City Metrics…savage

Was thinking on a possible post-retirement project. These thoughts are of a time when I have leisure time to pursue, not fighting and clawing to pay a mortgage and put my kids through college. Having read a bit on the segregation problem/challenges of the US Military in WWII that I would do a long form on the attitudes of WWII US Generals and Admirals about racial issues with a couple of threads: What part of the Mason-Dixon they were born/grew up on Family that had fought in the Civil War for either side. E.g., reading about Terry Allen's ancestor who fought for the North at Gettysburg ...fascinating character. Patton's family were definitely Confederates. Religious background and how that had influenced these views College of primary military training and how that influenced these views (West Point, Annapolis, VMI, Norwich, others schools). If the views manifested themselves in peacetime/wartime events. How these views compared to allies they came into contact with...e.g., the UK was shocked at how poorly we treated our African-American troops. Anyway, I keep a journal where I stuff ideas like this in for future projects. This one was coming to mind as I was reading about the battles on Bouganville where the Segregated 93rd Infantry Division fought under a Broadway sized spotlight because they were unable to go into the line for their first action without having to be 1. put out as a shining example by Black press and 2. seen as an embodiment of all possible failures of the African American race by the racists both in the Army and at home. Not sure that is anything a lot of people will want to read but that wouldn't be who I would be writing it for.

Castro would be loving what is happening in the United States this month.

So, its also that they couched it in diplomatic language. They have to live there so to speak. But definitely a thing to be explained in context. As for me...i'm going to make snarky comments not aimed at hurting people but for my own amusement on this here internet. If people think I'm wasting their time, that's a them problem.

This is pretty funny

Yes, they have IGs for this. Hence no need to illegally fire the IGs. GAO exists.

Tiger Territory covered the Tork malaprops and said it was not a good look for him. Needed to be fixed. Understood the general notion of him having too much data, too many inputs and needing to take an approach that worked for him. But, that was not a good thing to say.

Longgo spent a lot of time being annoyed at us for questioning Tork’s statements.

Doesn't the troll work in the US auto industry? I guess its all going to be rainbows and unicorns for that as we eliminate free trade.

I guess if Elon is considered a foreign intelligence service, it is the same as the Chinese hacking our government.

I would definitely be fine if he was the generational talent hitter we thought when we drafted him. I also think the comments were semi-suicidal for this organization. Possibly not for the Colorado Rockies which have a reputation for being less oriented toward success.

Because he hates our freedoms?

I can't believe the anti-Christ is the anti-Christ because my huckster pastor said he wasn't.

Agree. One other thing about Tork. He's supposedly the man who came up with the hockey stick and pizza pizza home run celebrations which i think were intended to curry favor with the Illitches but also seem to me to be slightly subversive. If the team comes up with a HR celebration that involves casino gambling (not hard to imagine a roulette wheel or dice throwing) or even more subversive -- something that depicts surface parking (backing a car up into a spot?) you'll have to wonder if he's a natural Spartacus.

Sorry you caught me while using my device which didn't have the login to the freep on it. Remembering that login was beyond my capacity.

Yes, the team and he explained the quotes.

Good! https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/general-motors/2025/02/14/gm-closing-factory-in-china-restructuring/78654470007/ Hard to compete with a communist system driving sales to its own SOE.

Looks like Tork's advisors finally woke up and smelled the stupid.
