I might tweak this to be a little closer to 1/3 support, defend, and celebrate his perceived divinity; 1/3 hate him and everything he represents; 1/6 bull**** themselves into supporting him because they see him as a tax-cutting business-first Republican with unfortunate behavioral ticks they can overlook because it hasn't affected them directly yet; and the remaining 1/3 don't know and don't care what's going on because it hasn't affected them directly yet.

On the other hand, aren't the Dodgers actually doing it right by putting to foot all the way down on the pedal to put together the best team possible? How many other teams, almost all of whom are run by billionaires, are doing that?

Would it be a huge surprise? Relievers are notoriously up and down from year to year, understandable considering how few innings they pitch. I was not a fan of Brieske until last season. His performance before that was simply not good, and I advocated for his hitting the bricks. Maybe he can shake it off and turn it around here. He’ll get the chance to.

That’s a key requirement for getting a pardon from Agent Orange: be a business criminal. Outside of the J6 flying monkeys, who else has he ever pardoned? It’s because they engaged in the same kind of business behavior he did. He’s covering up his own crimes by pardoning others convicted of them, since as far as he’s concerned, business crime is no crime at all. Wait until he starts pardoning sexual predators on the regular. That’ll be telling.

Hawk Tuah will be the next White House press secretary after Mrs. Crypt Keeper leaves the job. You watch.

Better hurry, because it won’t be long before Trump bans Americans from visiting Canada as long as they are their own country. This will be concomitant with a ban on European travel by Americans. Could never happen? Tell me why it can’t.

And how do you feel?

Didn’t The Pitt have a scene in which a mask-denier was given the chance to opt for a doctor not wearing a mask during her surgery and she caved?

Change the name of it.

Maybe it’s the sleepy-bye edible talking, but I would rather have lost this game 10-1.

Mookie walkoff home run. National media blows a massive load.

Ohhh man this hurts

So now the Tigers feed has completely gone away and I have to turn to the Dodgers feed. What a ****ing clown show.

That botched review has got to make national news.

Oh we got completely ****ed by New York on the call. Evil Empire West gets their break. Gotta comfort the comfortable, I guess.

Holy **** Manny Margot tied the game in the ninth!

I regret to inform you all that I checked out other games, and I checked out the Dodgers feed. Everyone else is calibrated to the action. The only feed experiencing this problem is the Tigers’ feed.

I see Tyler Holton is still good. Carry on.

Aaaaaand our luck has run out.

Not sure what you’re looking for on that two-strike pitch, Colt.

I suck. Should that not have been Torres making that turn? That’s something he works on all the time, and the shortstop turning the back end of a double play starting at third base seems weird and awkward.

Got out of that one. Thankfully. Who’s in for the sixth?

Ooh, Flaherty plunked Pages. Is he falling apart? This is an important AB here against the #9 hitter Barnes.
