    He's really earning that second year.

    This still mystifies me.  Crane brought him under the dumbass impression that it would somehow soften the blowback we would get for the cheating scandal, which clearly hasn't happened.  What's the point in bringing him back another year?  He sucks.  I want to give Click the benefit of the doubt and assume he wasn't behind that decision which is at the same time concerning that Crane is making these types of decisions over the head of his new GM.

    Pressly and Sneed are trash as is Dusty for continuing to use them in high leverage situations.

    lol who else do we have that is better than Pressly?  Sneed sucks ass and will be in Corpus soon.  Hell, I would have preferred them to have included on the roster Conine, Dubin, or Torres over Sneed.

    And can we just dispense with the Kamala-the-cop bullshit?  

    Advocating for criminal-justice reform and exercising prosecutorial discretion is a luxury of white men.  Do one of those things as a woman, or a Black man, or [gasp] a Black woman would make you "soft on crime."

    The prejudiced idea that Black women are "soft on crime" is why so many start their political careers as prosecutors or cops.  It's the only way to get over that hump.  If she hadn't been a prosecutor, and if she hadn't prosecuted people effectively, you'd have never heard of Kamala Harris.

    So take that #bluelivesmatter bullshit and shove it up your ass.

    It’s a great shame that anyone on this board has heard of Kamala Harris.

    So you're saying that Donald Trump is going to wish her well?

    Maybe you have to be in on it, or at least have or be willing to shield those involved in it, to reach the most elite echelons of power in this great nation.

  5. If I were Trump this is one of the first things I would mention about Harris - she loves to protect child rapists:

    Quote

    In her seven years as district attorney, Harris’s office did not proactively assist in civil cases against clergy sex abuse and ignored requests by activists and survivors to access the cache of investigative files that could have helped them secure justice, according to several victims of clergy sex abuse living in California who spoke to The Intercept.

    “It went from Terence Hallinan going hundred miles an hour, full speed ahead, after the Catholic Church to Kamala Harris doing absolutely nothing and taking it backwards hundred miles an hour,” said Joey Piscitelli, a sexual assault survivor, who a jury found had been molested as a student while attending Salesian College Preparatory, a Catholic high school in Richmond, California.

    Shes not going to be alot of help in the swing states biden needs to take.

    This is fitting as its 2020

    This has nothing to do with the November election.  This was a fight within the machinery of the party for the selection of the next heir apparent.  Now if Biden loses in 2024 the rest of the dem establishment will at some point clear the field for Kamala in 2028.

    Yep.  It didn't really seem like it, but in retrospect, Obama and events had us on a pretty even keel economically and most other ways.  Many of our problems were perceived, theoretical, or aspirational.

    And that persisted through most of the Trump administration, despite his best efforts.  Until now.

    Obama presided over worst recovery in postwar American history.  Over 90% of the new jobs created during his Presidency were temporary, part-time, or gig work.  One million fewer Americans were working at the end of his Presidency than before the beginning of the recession.  He and his Citigroup butt buddies did an absolutely horrendous job of handling the recession, and he owns what happened in November 2016.

    There was a massive NYT article from this weekend going through the history of dotard systematically destroying the intelligence community.  We've read it all on this board in piece-meal over the past 4 years, but it's kind of dumbfounding to have it all spelled out in one article.

    If you are so inclined:

    Fuck the CIA.  Trump should abolish the whole fucking agency on his way out the door.

  9. Players will of course get the virus even if they don’t play. The issue is that we still don’t have fast accurate tests so there’s no way to stop it from quickly spreading through a team once a few players get it, something that is bound to happen given the significant community spread.

    Oh, NOW let's listen to the players and value their opinion.

     

    I'm pretty sure a huge issue here is liability. The schools don't wanna get sued over this if something goes wrong. The players would need protections. And the schools certainly don't want college players organizing in any way shape or form, which is what would be required to get those protections and pull off a season.

    Th presidents and ADs will do what every great leader does when faced with a seemingly intractable problem - punt it.

    There's a reason people keep talking about the blue wave. The evolving population of this country is constantly shifting left. They're the ones that are delaying the inevitable. Some more shitty stuff will happen if they poach this election, but in the long run they're going to get swallowed by the wave regardless.

    Or you could say they're burning it down in a desperate attempt to keep power and we'll just build it up better afterwards.

    This is why we have a Democratic Party to channel and redirect the energy of the young towards issues which don’t threaten real, systemic change - like identity politics.    FDR was fighting to save capitalism but through that fight we got the New Deal, in the current fight we aren’t going to get shit but hashtags, more diverse corporate boards, and rube-Goldberg styled targeted subsidies and tax credits.  All has been lost.

    I think it would be out of their hands. Citizens got behind BLM over the police murder of a man in broad daylight in front of protesting citizens. The murder of the republic altogether will lead to bigger involvement.

    I want to see a national strike. I want to see mobs (in masks) blocking traffic everywhere and choking movement altogether in DC. 

    There will be a roll call of which members of Congress join the crowds and which ones don't. 

    The cosplay Balaclava-ed commandos with their ARs will either put up or shut up. I wouldn't weep to see them act and then be torn limb from limb. Think of the idiot with the bow and arrow only more fun.

    Then we get to see where the Army and the National Guard stand. If they stand with those giving orders, then I hope they face a rain of bananas as they hose down protesters with tear gas, water cannon, and machine gun fire.

    Let it not end with a whimper.

    Hilarious? For those like Mencken who saw it coming and nihilists who like to see good things end.

    I'll withhold my emotional action until the time comes. I never expected any of this. I have no pre-loaded response for hilarity.

    There would be protests - but like the BLM protests or the pussy hat protests, they wouldn’t accomplish anything. Protests alone don’t do anything. There has to be an organized opposition, kind of like what we had with the socialist parties and trade unions in the early 20th century. Those things don’t exist anymore and aren’t going to exist for the foreseeable future.

    You do realize there is a difference between voter intention and voter reality right? 
     

    Or I guess maybe not. 

    I’m not predicting that this is actually going to happen. I’m just saying that it’s interesting. The fact that Trump is pursuing this strategy makes me think his team has additional evidence that suppressing mail in voting helps him. Whether it will work, who knows but probably not.

    Maybe I’m an idiot but wouldn’t depressing voting by mail hurt trump and the GOP more than the dems? Specifically among the olds and rurals in Arizona, Florida and Wisconsin?  Am I missing something here? 

    There was an Emerson poll conducted recently that showed a gargantuan split in voting intention based on the intent to vote in person and via the mail.

  15. I had written off this election, but the polling coming out showing high polarization around in-person and mail-in voting is intriguing me. Imagine if, after all that has happened, Trump is able to win re-election by simply nerfing mail-in voting. Would be the most hilarious shit.

    This "season" reminds me of 2000. We lost our best starter (Hampton) in the offseason, Wagner was awful and then shut down for the year in the first couple of weeks, pitching staff was awful (particularly the pen), Biggio missed half the year, team lost 90 games despite a good offense. (Not that the 2020 offense has been particularly good yet, but they will probably be fine.)

    It was a bad season sandwiched between division titles and playoff appearances. 

    I think if we can get Urquidy back at 100% this team will be fine. Will allow LMJ to be put into the pen and a Grienke/Urquidy/Javier/Valdez/Bielak will be fine with this offense.
