Speaking of roads... ever notice how people complain the roads are bad... then complain when they are fixing them? "I hate driving through Ohio... they're always doing road work" "Why can't MI roads be like Ohio?"

Basically to be a republican you have to be mad that Big Bird told kids to get vaccinated and you have to believe that JFK Sr will come back and annoint Donald Trump president again and make JFK Jr (still here) Vice.

the federalist though.... and what kind of "evidence" is required to to say Lets Go Brandon is MAGA version of Seig Heil? It's an opinion. Agree with it or not. That's how it works. You don't need evidence to state an opinion.

I’m not suggesting it’s a bad thing to sign one of these guys and that it will hurt the franchise… just that I’m ok if they don’t because of the risk. If they get someone on a 4-5 year deal… then cool.

No. Because then maybe they could have kept Scherzer. Don’t forget the money they paid to offload Fielder. The spending this team did to go for it resembled a degenerate gambler that figured they had no choice to go for it all at that point. It reaches a point where after you lose 3/4 of your money the final 1/4 is meaningless.

I'm open to the idea that the badges being deactivated during a situation like this out of protocol... what if they were stolen? Maybe this is a way to protect the office itself and not the person, meaning if the VP was either a part of it or God forbid, already incapacitatd?

It's the difference between politicians doing things for their voters vs playing a part in an overall Us vs Them narrative. The quacks are not concerned with actually doing anything. They just want to act out on a stage and be theatrical with the goal of winning the next election, whether it's 2022 or 2024. McConnell sees this as something they can sell their voters to ensure they win.

Because of this I'm ok with no big long term deals. As a fan I'm tired of dead weight on this team. I'd hate to think we lose flexibility in the future with some great talent we develop or acquire because we have this anchor of bloated deals. We are like a young family that went into debt and about to get out of it but with the low refi rates considering taking out another loan against the house to go to Hawaii and a couple of cruises.

Both parties are the same. I mean you have one wing mad a big bird. Another wing down in TX waiting for both JFK Sr and Jr. and the Gosar wing “joking” about killing another member of Congress.

God wanted us to take it and we were superior to all of them. That’s what I was taught in my fundamentalist school.

I would prefer someone under 70 but the alternative has to be a viable candidate among the dem caucus. Seems like everyone’s got a beef. It’s why I called Joe the Applebee’s candidate. Nobody’s first choice but in an emergency it will have to do.

the problem is that plays into the "dementia" angle and "who is running the country" charge. Biden needs to show that he's the boss and the one doing everything. I think especially getting Obama out there plays into the criticism. Biden needs to project strength.

Given the short amount of time we have to teach history which is more important? Ruby Ridges is 66 years old. George Washington is 289 years old. Which is more relevant to today's world?

I think in general Joe needs to get out more. Seems like the only time I see him is he's walking to and from a podium and not taking questions. Not saying he has to do Trump style rallies but he should be out there more in the southern states where it's nice letting the country know he's the President. Use the office with all that goes with it, Air Force One, Marine One, The Beast (limo).

What's the solution with CRT? Just not talk about race anymore? Pretend our history until the 1960's didn't happen with regard to how we treated black people? Because that's what they want us to do. Act like slaves enjoyed working for their master and that things were separate but equal and thats the way it's supposed to be because Bible.

Imagine taking Clemens, developing him, and Sparky not having such a beef with HoJo.

Ah. Hope it’s all good from here on out.

What’s this Brandon stuff? I missed it

What prompted you to get tested? Just curious. I wonder how many people get it and never get tested end just assume it’s allergies or whatever.

I knew who he was because I used to have this “greatest home runs of all time” VHS tape. Made around 1990. One that they showed was Wynn hitting one in Corsley field out onto the freeway. It was that late 60’s era where video quality was sketchy.

I just can’t believe that with our vax rate and now fourth wave that we haven’t reached a higher immunity. We saw big jumps in the tri county area the last week. Like 25%. Maybe that’s the final push?

According to a chart I saw from him it’s about 25% breakthrough cases. hopefully we see a lot of kids get shots over the next 2 weeks and by Christmas things are better. Comparisons to last year mean nothing to me because last year we had restrictions.
