Aren't they trying to overturn the Presidential Records Act so Trump can take home all the documents he wants if/when he leaves, and destroy the rest?

That we know of as of now.

They couldn't even be bothered to change her name for the different states? Weak sauce.

I too would like to believe that because all the prior crises in American history resolved normally while keeping our constitutional order intact, that this crisis will resolve the same way, by definition.

He does appear to fill most of the main criteria: he's the ruler of an empire who exercises widespread authority and demands allegiance and worship; he's a deceiver who misleads believers and their ministers; he exalts himself above all objects of worship and even sets himself up in God’s place; he rejects divine and moral order; and he is waging war against the faithful in his attacking of the Pope. All he has left to do is deny that Jesus is the Christ (i.e., the Messiah) and deny that Jesus came in the flesh and he's pretty much 100% there.

lol the pope is weak on crime. guess i won't be voting for him this november.

I'm not one who typically agrees with MTG, but Stopped Clock definitely applies here.

Yeah, I’m done with salivating over potential returns for our best players at the deadline, at least for a while.

Now is the time for Trump to put his money where his mouth is. He threatened to pour billions of our tax dollars, whatever that looks like, into Hungary to maintain fascism there. If he fails to do so, everyone else in the world can safely conclude he is, at long last, full of ****, and at that point they can **** with him as much as they want and get away with it. He's got one chance to maintain his Supervillain of the World status. It's put-up-or-shut-up time for him. If things break the right way, this has a chance to be a turning point for us as well.

I hope there's not violence during the transition and I hope that the US is not in the middle of it.

Maybe MAGA sees this as a good thing—get all the “libtard f***ots” out of the armed forces and replace them with born-hard patriots.

A prime example of Trump telling us, right under our noses, exactly what he planned to do and we were not quite sophisticated enough at the time to see it that way.

If the plan were to include possibly trading these guys, it might be kinda tricky to find real value in return. Riley would be the best candidate for a good return; Tork would have to go on a pretty good run to get interest from less-tuned-in GMs; I don’t think Carp is going to bring back anything substantial on his own. I’d be really surprised if it happened this year. I’d guess the most likely time would be the winter of 27-28. It may be at least as likely they all stay all the way to the end and we finagle a pick from whatever the system is at the time they go.

I would just like to wish here that the Democrats are not unilaterally disarming here, and they are so wont to do.

Most everybody gets moved off shortstop eventually, except maybe arguably the worst shortstop in recent history.

I hope we can look back in October at Thursday's loss that dropped us to 4-9 as the low point of our season and have a chuckle about it as we watch the Tigers cruise to yet another playoff win.

Man, what a gutsy final at bat by Anderson to close it out—14 pitches before a 3U.

Jeimer Candelario has been DFA'ed by the Angels. Any interest? 😝

Lack of posit noted. I would bet the current plan is for Rainer to play short and McGonigle second, with the hopes that Colt Keith can stick at third so they can put Briceño at first. To your point, in baseball, plans really work out as planned. But you do have to plan to a best case scenario, and develop adjustments in case it doesn’t happen that way.

Riley with the ribbie single! For as bad as Riley has been—.204 BA, .573 OPS, 73 wRC+ coming into the game—he had gotten on base all 14 games, and now all 15.

Ah, so we do hate her now. Got it. Just want to make sure I knew which way the wind was blowing. Hard to keep up sometimes.

Literally no one is deciding Kevin McGonigle’s future today. The front office has a plan for the future, and nothing that happens this year short of a career-ending incident involving one of the principles will change it, even if McGonigle gets Gold Glove votes at short.

Ugh, I cannot watch the commercial spot for Tigers tickets even one more time on DSN. They must not be selling enough commercial time to actual advertisers because they run the tickets spot literally every break, there are only two executions in rotation, and I think they’re 60 seconds long. As soon as I hear the horn intro for the spot, off the audio goes. I feel I‘m watching a streaming service instead of a cable/satellite service.

I think Jake as the backup is more the Sunday/getaway day catcher.
