The Doge**** commission has now cut Americorps. A lot of my students participated in that. It was good for the community and good for them I guess volunteer community service by young people is too woke... Screw that. We need more of that, not less. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5255458-gavin-newsom-california-americorps-trump-administration-legal-action/

It won't get anyone. They'll just laugh.

I remember him from the USFL which actually started 42 years ago (not 45). I saw him in an interview and my very sensitive douchebag meter went off the charts immediately!

It will be partially implemented with each team having a limited number of challenges per game. I hope they do a better job than they do with other challenges. I understand that that it works pretty quickly in the minors, but that doesn't mean it will be quick in the majors. Is there a chance that the majors will have more technology giving conflicting conclusions which slows down the process?

I hated Trump 45 years ago. 😄

In my small sample size, his biggest supporters still love him. They love what he's doing with immigrants and they expect the tariffs to fix the econony. He is saving America! The moderate Republicans (voted for Haley and then Trump) don't like him, but think the liberals are overreacting. They are not regretting voting against Harris. I think i's going to take a fairly long-term economic down-term to change any minds.

It's always somebody else's fault.

See, that's the problem. A very substantial proportion of the country wants an authoritarian leader (as long as he supports them). Archie is one of them.

Whatcha got for Trump?

Good point. I am ashamed to admit that I confused her with Susan Collins!

Lisa Murkowski admits she is often afraid to speak out due to fear of retaliation from Trump. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/17/lisa-murkowski-trump-retaliation-00295852 She'll probably back track later and no other Republicans will dare to speak out, but that is quite an admission.

Gorka is Thurston Howell III

Even Trump's DOJ admitted that it was an administrative error.

I think he wouldn't be on the team if he didn't have the salary he has. He isn't blowing games as he is currently being used.

But he'll have the biggest crowd size in history.

Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!

I assumed he was using the casinos for money laundering...Either way, I wouldn't call it a success.

Failures can certainly be part of success, but he had multiple casino bankruptcies which seems pretty hard to do.

yeah, those matches were all considered major sporting events. You heard about them whether you were a boxing fan or not and they were all household names. Maybe, I'm just not paying attention, but it doesn't seem as if that has happened for years.

I am not sure, but I don't hink their payroll is as far ahead of the rest of the league as it used to be. They are certainly not spending like the Dodgers.

I am not sure what he means by "successful billionaire", but he has never invented anything or performed a unique service which changed the way people live their lives. To me, that is what makes a super wealthy person successful. He inherited his biggest business from his father and he has built everything around that. An inordinate number of his business ventures have failed either because he's a poor businessman or they weren't real businesses or both. His main skill seems to be making deals by bullying and manipulating people. That certainly wouldn't make him unique among billionaires, but I don't think it makes him successful among billonaires either.

It sounds more like an excuse to not eat is salary than a role. If they think he can become effective enough to expand his role a bit, then that's another story.

Another possibility is teams are spending more money to keep up with the Dodgers. I think that used to happen in the AL because of the Yankees.
