If anyone is denied democracy, everyone is denied democracy, even the red hats. But that's OK with them, because although did not have democracy under Jim Crow, either, they certainly did enjoy that warped society.

I'm starting to think not only do they want war, they also want the specter of a nuclearized Iran to justify, if only to themselves, its political and especially economic colonization.

It means this:

I'd never contemplated how a team could strike the tricky balance between boring and horrifying, but man, they nailed it.

I wonder whether I should include Denmark on my list of destinations when I got Europe this spring?

A company must have really good lawyers to feel confident encouraging that much alcohol consumption on their premises.

Kevin McGonigle is not on the Tigers' Spring Breakout Game roster, and if you're itching to see him make the team out of camp, that's a good sign.

… going to make the 26-man squad, at least by May 1.

I like reading this kind of thing when it involves my team. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2026/03/19/detroit-tigers-austin-slater-opt-out-opening-day-roster/89164693007/ Slater, a .248 hitter in his 699-game MLB career, has redefined his approach at the plate since signing with the Tigers, thanks to the player plan given to him by the Tigers ahead of spring training. The results in camp? More walks and fewer strikeouts with damage, all while continuing to showcase his understanding of the strike zone. He remains focused on swing decisions. "My swing felt really good last year, and I got away from being really stubborn in my approach and my plan," Slater said. "Pitch selection was not maybe as great as it's been in years past. It used to be a strength of mine, and I'm trying to hone that back in."

He wasn't getting good and paid off the public dime under the old economy.

I could swear I heard over and over from red hats that Trump's appeal is that he is not a politician.

This particular Team USA was a really hard team for root for.

This is a key way The Big Club makes its money: they make products steadily worse and worse while charging the same amount of money until we get used to it. Then, they bring back the old regular product as a premium product with a premium price, even though it’s the same regular product we bought last year I promise you they will have a Reese‘s premium peanut butter cup line in the next five years at double the price, and it will taste the same as the regular cup tasted last year. #Murica

I think there’s at a least half a chance that Trump invites the US team and claims they are the real champions. I wonder which of them would show up?

Looks like the 1962 A Few Good Men has crapped out, so I will list my cast and close the loop on my end. ∙ Lt. Daniel Kaffee → Paul Newman ∙ Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway → Shirley MacLaine ∙ Col. Nathan Jessep → George C. Scott ∙ Cpl. Dawson → Sidney Poitier ∙ Pfc. Downey → Brandon deWilde ∙ Capt. Jack Ross → William Shatner ∙ Lt. Sam Weinberg → Herschel Bernardi ∙ Col. Markinson → Arthur Kennedy ∙ Lt. Kendrick → Frank Sutton ∙ Judge Randolph → E.G. Marshall ∙ Cpl. Jeffrey Barnes → Michael J. Pollard

Lemonade: at least Will Vest struck him out.

Glory to the brave nation Which shook off the yoke, Respecting law, Virtue and honour. - Venezuela National Anthem

The entire rest of the world and 65% of America got the outcome they were hoping to see.

I guess Trump is going to have to drop a nuke on Venezuela now.

I would think anyone who abandons Trump would have to abandon the rest of the Republican Party, since he owns it lock stock, wouldn’t you? They can’t dissociate the Trump lackeys who are technically not Trump himself from Trump himself, can they? Because it’s got to be obvious that a vote for them is a vote for Trump.

Leave it to Trump to make Iran look like the good guys.

As though Trump gives a steaming hot **** about American lives being lost.

It's almost as though the poster who named this thread was engaging in projection.

Fingers crossed it will matter.
