Biden is having typical elderly cognitive slow down, but I see no signs of Dementia. Trump actually was given a dementia test, so we can assume that doctors thought he might be showing signs. I think his mental health problems and general unfitness are something other than dementia though. I do not know anyone in office who specifically has dementia, but there are several who lack either the intelligence or sanity or both to be fit for office. Since the only other defeated president still alive is Jimmy Carter, I will assume that he is your favorite defeated president.

There are several prominent Republicans who are obviously more unfit than Biden including your favorite defeated president

I would have been rooting for them to leave him in, but I understand why they didn't.

Also pictured in the photo was little known Ron Cash who batted .400 in 39 AB for the Tigers as a rookie. You can bet my 10-year old self got excited about his future.

Those ads were ubiquitous. I always thought the kids lined up taking the exact same swing together looked kind of creepy.

Not sure which thread to put this in, but it's a beautiful photo.

A lot of people are suffering with high inflation, but not everyone...

Not a bad name for a pitcher.

Baez out with a sore thumb.

Gathering Crowds. There is no way to explain to young fans today how we looked forward to a half hour baseball highlights show each week.

That was TripleSe7en. The Strategy Expert insisted that he knew more than DD and wanted to use his proprietary statistic to get a position in the Tigers front office.

If you experienced Tyrus or DuaneBSims, then you experienced Grapes.

They actually made a move in 2018, but then they dropped the rates again when Wall Street didn't like the results.

Same thing as last year Hinch's teams dont show up until May They should call him Mr May thats why Avila sdaid that thing about winning pennants in April he was sending hinch a message. Wake up AJ!!!!!!

You young whipper snappers sure do make a big deal out of watching a baseball game. I remember when we just pressed a button on the TV and there it was.

And those two factors are related.

It happens every Spring!

I think presidents have very little effect on the economy. This is a capitalist nation. The economy is influenced by businesses and consumers a lot more than presidents. We are still involved in a historic pandemic which has vastly changed the way we do business short term and long term. We have not totaly recovered from the lockdowns and general restrictions and have not adjusted to new ways of doing business. So, it's not surprising that somethings are screwed up. On the bright side, businesses are still making money and people are still working. There are actually not enough people to fill all the available jobs.

Nothing good that happens in my life ever has anything to do with any president. They have very little effect on my life. They can affect the lives of people less fortunate than me.

One reason I am better off is that I work at home most of the time now. That is a big change and a good one.

Oh crap, you made me type all that for nothing!😆

I am personally better off now. Anyway, it's silly to say that the country is worse off now, since the last year of Trump's presidency was the worst year we've had as a country in my lifetime. And any problems we have now would have been made worse by Trump. It's been addition by subtraction.

I don't think he is at all what he claims to be or what his followers think he is. He is not a brilliant businessman and is certainly not self made. He has failed at almost every business that wasn't started and funded by his father. He is not a brilliant negotiator. He just bullies people and buries people with lawsuits. He is not a patriot and couldn't care less about the country other than what it can do for him. He is not a tough guy. He never had to fight for anything in his life. Leaders of other countries don't fear or respect him. They think he's a joke. He doesn't care about working class people or veterans or any of the people he pretends to care about. I mean he cares even less than most politicians do. He does not care at all. He is not a Christian. In fact, he seems to have no morals nor values at all. Everything in life is a transaction. If it's good for Donald Trump then it's right. He has no Republican ideals or really any ideals. He is just a populist demagogue who could just as easily have decided to be a Democrat if the opportunity was there. He knows very little about any of the policy issues or the constitution or how our government is supposed to work and he doesn't even try to know. All he is is a bullshit artist and self promoter.

Another thing is we would have known the winner on election night if they had been allowed to count the mail-in ballots ahead of time, but the Republicans didn't want that. They wanted to make it look like Trump had won and then the election got stolen.

Sounds like a good argument for scrapping the electotal college.
