Option B.

Assertions without evidence is their explicit jam. That is exactly the regime’s strategy, the idea being they don’t need no ****ing evidence, asshole.

Could they have made the guy’s big black face any bigger?

Illinois is a bifurcated situation: an active upscale city population, a sedentary rural downstate population.

What, is it 1984 already?

It’s a cult built on their peculiar brand of Christianity and the place Trump has assumed within it. Cult members look forward to dying for their cults as the purest expression of devotion to their leader, which presumably provides them entrance into their version of heavenly eternal life. That’s why they don’t simply snap out of it.

Share those tips with he and I.

Probably because it is literally never going to happen, if it doesn’t with this guy.

I don’t click on anything in FB I don’t recognize, so the only right wing garbage I get is from people with whom I am still “friends”.

Before long the founders are going to be dismissed as “woke cucks”.

This is a big payoff.

It wasn't bait, honest. More of a hit and run joke. I honestly fretted that you might misunderstand and up the ante somehow, because I didn't want to have to deal with it. Appreciate that you didn't.

This is surely part of it, but I think there's even more than that. How many times have we seen Republicans respond to a Trump atrocity with condemnation in the early aftermath, only to quickly shift gears and pledge their support instead? They already hated the same people going into their initial criticism before abandoning that, which itself tacitly admitting they were wrong. I think they might be getting drastic threats coupled with big payoffs, the latter of which ensures they are in on the crime, so they can't flip or they'll experience the former, which doesn't necessarily have to be a mortal threat, maybe more of a criminal prosecutorial threat, the threat of prison, meaning not country club jail. Threats + payoffs = mobster ****.

Let's go back in time and give them an eighth-grade final exam from 2025 and see how they do.

I've long liked her. They need characters like her in that party.

Because WAR is a cumulative stat. A pitcher with a 4 WAR in 180 innings is not as good on a per-start basis as one who has 4 WAR in 120 innings, although that's not necessarily a bad thing—there is value in good volume, too.

I'm not sure he would want 5/300 if he wants to re-enter the market, since he would be age 35 doing so. I'd think he'd prefer something like 8/400.

No. That’s wrong. Donald Trump is way, way, way more dangerous than the guy on the bus yelling out loud to himself. I believe we should be using language characterizing him that acknowledges that, rather than language that reduces him to a mere run-of-the-mill annoyance.

I think it's worth asking—I don't mean rhetorically questioning, but seriously asking for the purpose of answers—why he is being allowed to get away with all this. What are the mechanisms at work that is keeping what is literally the entire rest of the world, particularly here at home, at bay?

The guy on the bus yelling out loud to himself is a loon.

There's no other way to put it: Donald Trump is a graphics novel-level supervillian. Simple as that. He will stop at nothing, and he won't stop until someone stops him.

I love trivia nights. I think I might have gotten a group together to start doing trivia on a monthly or so basis. Seven of us aged 60-75. We called ourselves the “Superannuated Friends”. (My teammates are so old and/or such nerdballs that they didn’t know the cartoon the name was based on.) We finished middle of the pack among fifteen teams where a fair number of questions were about 90s movies and 2000s music. I was pretty impressed. I hope we can keep this up for a while.

And he should ask for half of someone else’s team. It shouldn’t be us desperately trying to unload Skubal for anything we can get because we’re mad at Scott Boras.

Plus it would have to be a ridiculous offer that makes us better this year, or at least the same as before. Even Sports Freak would call Scott Harris a genius if he could pull that off! 🤣
