  1. The Trump family is the most amoral corrupt political family I have ever seen and that's saying a lot. There is nothing good about any of them.
  2. America has always looked to itself first regardless who the president is. America First is just populist BS. When we do things for other countries, the intent is to ultimately help the United States in some way. How does calling it South African variant make anything easier? We still have to deal with it the same way.
  3. i am generally skeptical of people who speak with confidence on twitter.
  4. I think it's all very complex. It is difficult to say definitively when life starts. I don't know if there is a magical point where I can say for sure where a fetus becomes a person. I probably sound strongly pro-choice, but I am actually ambivalent. I certainly don't think abortion is a positive thing, but I'd rather give women a reasonable interval in which to make a decision. I will add that I think some people who call themselves Christians also pick and choose what parts of Christianity that they like. I am an agnostic myself. My values have been shaped by Christian parents, so I know that's part of me but I am not religious.
  5. I follow Frommer on Twitter. He appears to know something about prospects, but I don't get the impression that he is any kind of insider.
  6. They could Escobar at 3B and Baez at 2B depending on whether expect McNeil to bounce back next year.
  7. Correa. If they can get Baez for 5-6 years, then it's a good question.
  8. I expect them to get one of the big five. I have my preferences, but I won't be disappointed in any of them. I WILL be disappointed if they don't get one of them.
  9. I still hate masks and haven't gotten used to them at all. I use them when required.
  10. I know lots of women. Some are selfish. In general, they are less selfish than men.
  11. I agree that if Trump won, Democrats would have had similar concerns and there would have been lawsuits while the Republicans would have been just fine with it. The difference is Trump didn't just express concerns and file lawsuits. He flat out said that the election was stolen and pushed baseless conspiracy theories as supposed proof. His lack of respect for our country and democracy is unforgivable.
  12. I agree. Women tend to be a lot more selfless.
  13. I am not sure what you mean by that, but it appears there might be some agreement!
  14. There is indeed an inconsistency with so many of the pro-life people being pro-death penalty.
  15. If anyone has a good understanding of when a person becomes a person, it would be a woman.
  16. Of course they think that way, but how did it come to that point? It is obvious why people are disturbed when they see see little tiny humans with body parts taken out. How can you not be affected by that even if you are pro-choice? That is not most abortions though. What about much earlier when there is no appearance of life at all? What happens at conception which makes it a person?
  17. I think it's mostly terrible diets and lack of exercise than anything else. More recently, drug abuse has taken its toll. It's interesting that immigrants, including Hispanics, have a longer life expectancy than both White and Black Americans.
  18. We don't seem to be big on life expectancy in the US. We have among the lowest of developed countries.
  19. He has indicated that he would acquire a shortstop, but he never told us the shortstop would be a good one. I don't see him as a used car salesman.
  20. Every off-season, he tells us exactly what he's going to do and he does it. We just might not like his choice of players. This year, he said he's going to acquire a catcher, a starting pitcher and a shortstop. He is almost there.
  21. I feel just the opposite. If anything, he tips his hand too much.
  22. No, but I think that's an extreme opinion not shared by many. I think the only time that might be OK if the baby has no chance to live and the woman's life is in danger. I am thinking more of pro-lifers who think it's never ok to have an abortion even less than a week into the pregnancy. I believe pro-life is, at least sub-consciously, tied to the idea that it's sinful for women to have sex outside of marriage, but less so for men. So, I think abortion would be viewed differently if men were the carriers. Also, like you said, men don't want to have babies after casual sex. I also think men would also not want to be inconvenienced by having to carry a baby for nine months.
  23. He wasn't lying. A peace agreement between two countries never at war has never happened before.
