probably.

I have no idea what you are saying in this post.

I agree with that. He's the wrong target.

I think MAGA will trust him on the tariffs, but not SS. They probably see tariffs as good for America, but take away money which they think belongs to them and they won't like it.

Start taking money way from people and tthey will take action. There are millions of MAGA getting SS or soon to be getting SS. They love seeing other people suffer, but they'll cry if they have to suffer themselves. Plus, they don't have to blame it on the cult leader. They can blame it on MUSK.

Whose money is he using to buy it?

I only went to Tigers games, so I would not have been there that day. I remember that it was a lot different from Joker Marchant.

I may have been there that day too.

You can't go wrong with that statement. There will be some form of depression from 2025-2028. Maybe both kinds.

Billionaire "genius" allows his company to be hacked. That is ALL on him.

You seemed to be suggesting that peacful protests are not possible. So, the alternatives would be violence or doom. What is your choice?

I remember seeing a study in 2016 which said the one thing that Trump supporters had in common was their desire for authoritarianism. They see authoritarianism as a good thing...until it turns on them.

If that's the case, then we are screwed, because we can't beat the US miliary in an arms war. I'd take our chances in mass peaceful protests over violence.

I don't have a preference, but the flip side is that he would benefit from facing major league hitters. The team would also get a draft pick if he accrues one year of service time and wins Rookie of Year.

We aren't close to a Hitler situatin at this point. I think the protests would need to start before people become desensitized to brutality.

That's do-able. The BLM protests had more people than that. The problem is those became violent which makes peaceful people lose support for a movement. How to prevent the dictator from getting violent or provoking violence? I think you need to get people who look like the rulers involved. That means somewhat older white people. If they shoot minorties or White college students, unfortunately many will assume the victims are trouble makers. Would they dare start shooting old white people though?

If you can get enough people to protest, non-violent protests do work in combatting dictators. All it takes is 3.5% of the poulation to be actively involved in peaceful protests. https://commonslibrary.org/can-nonviolent-struggle-defeat-a-dictator-this-database-emphatically-says-yes/ https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-54142487

My real social life is like that now too!

That sounds like my situtation. They just know it's not from my lower back. I think a lot of times they assume it's the back when this happens to people, but I was lucky enough to get an MRI to rule it out.

I have also fogotten about my knee (Meniscus surgery) until it barks at me on occasion. The last couple of years, I have been dealing with a nerve issue in my other leg which has been hard to resolve. I am still working on it. Nobody knows what's causing it, so I'm now trying to figure it out myself.

If Maeda and Mize look good all Sping, I think that Jobe will start the season in the bullpen as a way to limit his innings. I don't see him going to Toledo.

Trump is really leaning into the idea that things may get bad before they get good and is telling America to have faith in his plan. This goes against what he said in his campaign and really isn't his usual style. His core base is going to lap it up because ther heads are so far up his ass. It will be interesting to see how many moderates he loses though. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/09/trump-recession-tariffs-2025-economy-00220016

Mike Johnson brought up Gorge Soros today too. Whenever I see "George Soros" mentioned on social media, I know not to take the person seriously. Same with Fauci. When a MAGA brings up his name, I don't take them seriously.

Spring training stats mean practically nothing, but when you've got injuries and a non-roster invite has a big spring, they might take on some meaning.
