I guess the one positive thing I can say about Trump is his ability to expose his supporters as idiots. They will die defending his statements but then he will quickly reverse course and throw them under the bus and leave them holding their nuts.

Imagine what the media and self appointed pundits would be saying had Kamala Harris said such a thing 2 years ago.

well an article put out by "Tigersfans UNITED" must be legit.

The Skubal clickbait trade "articles" are annoying.

The producers of Dallas, to get around any leaks, filmed every cast member shooting him to stave off any assumptions... even his TV parents. Larry Hagman claimed Queen Elizabeth asked him who did it.

I’m proud of my city. This jag off came to a council meeting and started dropping F bombs.

Ok Peggy

Is their name Peggy?

The Gemini spacecrafts were built by McDonnell. During that program one of the astronauts was at a party with “old man McDonnell”. When asked how things were going the astronaut pointed out a big bottleneck was getting mainframe access to run their software. McDonnell also owned the biggest bank in St Louis that had one. So he instructed his bank to give NASA priority for their mainframe. doing what they did with what they had was remarkable. Heck… it’s hard now.

Nov 19, 1969. Pete Conrad and Alan Bean land Apollo 12 on the moon, only a few hundred feet from Surveyor 3, a probe sent a few years earlier. This was a very critical step to prove that they could make precision landings and a tremendous achievement by the trajectory teams and the astronauts. They could trust their software and systems, and pilots. Apollo 11 over shot its targets so after proving they could land, the next step is proving they could land in specific spots, critical for the geological work. They did their first EVA the next day. listen to the excitement in their voices. This was my favorite crew because the 3 of them were best friends.

A solution in search of a problem.

Someone has pegging on their mind

When we were in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago we noticed no parking signs by the door of the place we rented. At 6:30 we found out why. This was an urban setting. You walk out the door at street level and the trucks are right there. No lawns. No driveways. Less than 10 feet away.

The fact you refer to reasons as “excuses” speaks volumes.

I'm not bitching about it. I'm saying let them vote. It's not my job to provide your solution.

I think MLB would love that. The MLBPA? Not so much.

I think its a form of privilege to not understand that many people just don't do well or have the ability to deal with bureaucracy. What if they don't have a car or access to transportation? Or missing required documentation, like birth certificates. What if they have trouble reading or writing? Maybe they have anxiety around people. Maybe they don't know where to go an ID. Maybe they're afraid because they didn't pay a ticket years ago that they'll get arrested. The list goes on. These people still have the right to vote.

remember when republicans claimed to care about character.

My tip is riding a bike is no substitute for walking when you’ve had too many. One week we thought “let’s ride our bikes.” I couldn’t ride a bike kind of drunk. I miss that place. Closed during covid. Never reopened. Owner lived down the street from me and retired and moved up north. Whoever bought the building gutted it. It’s been empty since. The burgers were great. Nothing special about them except fresh but with soft sesame buns with crinkle fries.

A friend and I would go to a dive bar every Monday night when our kids were small. The old neighborhood “house” bar types. We always said that whichever barmaid was around at that time would make a good wife. Not because they cook great burgers or drinks but just watching them handle everything. It was impressive. I think those types can step in and do any job that’s doesn’t require technical training upfront. And if you give them time they could do those jobs too.

I’m just a schmo on the internet but if I can change anyone can. But I don’t blame people being suspicious. She is a politician after all.

It’s about suppression. That’s just as effective

Well we have seen people, like Vance, go the other way, so I guess it’s possible for the reverse to happen. I hope we can go back to a “normal” two party system.

I looked that up yesterday because I was sure there was some kind of certification process for agents. There is but from the MLBPA point of view. There is a code of conduct they must follow. And they have to take a test about the CBA. I couldn’t find anything from MLB’s point of view. I think in these cases it’s player vs player and team vs team. The players don’t care. But the teams would.

these people are all immoral scumbags cosplaying their way through one giant grift.
