  1. And not for nothing, a lot of the lazier media outlets relying on content churners just out of college for keeping their websites filled aren’t regularly questioning it.
  2. Depending on which district it winds its way through and whether it lands in the laps of the highest handpicked court in the land.
  3. Especially if their business hopes and dreams lie in the hands of the regime.
  4. I believe they’re going to run a tribute the Charlie Kirk, which will certainly contain nothing of what he’s actually said on his show. And then they’ll just re-run it over and over to pwn libtards.
  5. Kimmel fix what? Fix his penchant for criticizing our brave and handsome president who has totally big hands? Is that what “first person” and “sources” are suggesting? Because that’s exactly how it reads to me.
  6. Remember how grief-stricken the president was the night of the Kirk shooting? Very touching.
  7. They don’t expect their viewers to think about it as deeply as you do.
  8. Some MAGA. Guy sounds like a Marxist to me.
  9. Seriously, ABC might keep Kimmel on contract simply to enjoin him from appearing on air anywhere else, just to keep him shut up at the behest of the regime who will give clearance to powerful affiliate groups to make deals to exceed the 39% ownership market cap by double and then some.
  10. You know what they say: the tree of liberty must occasionally be watered by the blood of schoolchildren. Or something like that. I don’t remember the exact quote but that might be the gist.
  11. Didn’t you hate the Montero pickup?
  12. No manager is going to intentionally walk a guy into scoring position in the late innings of a 1-1 game against a hot division rival. Come on.
  13. And Harris and Hinch will finally get fired, Dombrowski and Leyland get rehired, they’ll bring in Miggy as hitting coach and JV as pitching coach, they‘ll junk the rest of the useless coaching staff and all the analytics we’re losing with, they’ll sign Pete Alonso and Alex Bregman and Kyle Schwarber as free agents, trade for Bobby Witt Jr and Nick Kurtz and Paul Skenes and that Miserableski guy, exhume the remains of Mr. I to make it all happen, and everything will be back to normal.
  14. This is a complaint, not a pet peeve, but I guess this can go here. I bought a navigation app for my phone for our upcoming driving trip for $39.99. The total bill came in at $44.09, because my various local jurisdictions layered a cumulative 10.25% sales tax onto the purchase. I'm not one of those "all taxation is theft" guys. i understand the principle that the services governments provide to their citizens need to be funded by the people who benefit from it, so I don't begrudge the concept of taxation itself. The idea behind sales tax is to fund the infrastructure to provide legislation, regulation, enforcement, and protection to vendors and consumers for the purpose of assuring a safe, above-board, and well-structured marketplace. But if you think about it, that can really apply only if the sale takes place entirely within a jurisdiction, such as when you go to your local store and buy something. That's not what's happening here. The vendor is online and located god knows where, but it's not in any of my jurisdictions. And neither my state, county, nor city are providing any regulatory or other services to protect this transaction. If something goes upside-down with this transaction, I can't pursue any redress within my local jurisdictions, because the transaction is interstate and not local. And yet, they are all taking a cut of this sale, merely because my mailing address happen to reside within those jurisdictions. It is, essentially, a junk fee that pays for nothing. That, to me, truly constitutes theft.
  15. It was a pretty famous fact for a while, but I'd forgotten it.
  16. If he can guarantee that in writing, then Harris should totally get him this winter!
  17. A.J. has intentionally walked 14 hitters this season. Not once was there a man already occupying first. In the big leagues so far this season, there have been 31,244 plate appearances where there was a man on first and no other base. A total of five intentional walks have been issued in that situation. That works out of 0.016% of all such plate appearances, which, in practical terms, is never. There was no way A.J. was going to issue a free pass to Jose Ramirez in that situation. There just wasn't. And calling for his head over failure to do so is a really high bar.
  18. At least I still feel sorry for the kid.
  19. The Macrons had better win, or else it's merely the Birth Certificate Fiasco all over again.
  20. Yikes—that's downright Kreidleresque!
  21. So tell your young pitcher, a guy you want to build confidence in his ability at the big league level, hey man, we don't trust you to dot corners and not make mistakes in the middle of the plate, so put this guy on even though there's already a guy occupying first? I'm glad you're not my manager! 😉 Joking aside: no sale. Call it stupid if you want, as though Hinch can totally control outcomes like pushing buttons. I think it's merely unfortunate that the mistake went over the heart of the plate, and that we had a better chance of getting him out than giving up a bomb—again, notwithstanding 20-12 hindsight. I know this makes me (even more?) unpopular, but I'm true to how I feel about it.
