  1. I don't know shit about fuck, but the biggest problem the Democratic party faces, to me, seems to be that adhering to truth, the rule of law and actually doing what is best for the country just isn't popular enough with the electorate. What is a political party supposed to do about that? The reason it seems like they are doing a shitty job is that the GOP and Trumpco should be such easy targets to take down with their obvious dipshit policies, cronyism and outright evil, yet it's not happening. It appears that the levers of societal change may not be so easy to pull.
  2. That's what I'm saying. The timing of when guys are coming back is bad. They'll all be back after the deadline, so we don't have any information on how all these guys are going to do post-injury. I'm saying if we had more information then the decision whether or not to trade Framber would be an easier one. The injuries have finally caught up with us. You can't play a lineup of half AAA guys and expect to win long term. We're lucky to be where we are. We just gotta hope that when our guys get back they can win like they had been.
  3. Exactly. If we knew whether Javier or Garcia or France could give us that then it would make the decision to trade Framber a lot easier.
  4. If they knew more about Javier and Garcia and France (and even add McCullers to that list) then trading Valdez would make more sense. As it is, with Framber and Brown we have a chance in any series.
  5. 1. Attack and tax the rick. Vilify the rich. Instead of minorities and immigrants, make them the reason for all of the bad things that happen to working class people. 2. Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine to exert control over media messaging so it can't be batshit. 3. Address the biggest threat to national security there is - the fucking deficit. Insist on paying it down by any means necessary, including reducing military spending. Make people fear the deficit. 4. Campaign finance reform. Campaign finance reform. Campaign finance reform. As long as money rules politics then the real needs of the country and its people will not be met. 5. Lincoln Project style videos showing every promise Trump did not keep.
  6. Yeah, we need Trump to publicly fester. Vance, lickspittle that he is, would probably be more effective at doing actual evil shit than Trump.
  7. Why in the fuck would you do that inside of a car? If the whole point is to puke and laugh about it, why would you knowingly get vomit all over the inside of your car?
  8. I did this a couple of months ago. I'm better for it. What has happened is that a sizeable and politically significant number of voters have evolved into racist, misogynistic, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, hate- and fear-mongering ignorant assholes. The reasons are varied, but can all be traced to various societal factors. The declining population (as a total percentage) of whites in the U.S., media being driven (by market necessity) by profits instead of journalistic integrity, the internet and waves of false and misleading information that anyone can send out to millions of gullible and uninformed people, the failure of our education system, the fact that the U.S. is rich, bloated, overly stimulated and infected with such false myths as "anyone call pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and "welfare queens" and "illegals are sucking up all of the resources paid for by our hard-earned tax dollars." When you add to that politicians who have absolutely zero integrity, no intentions of ever doing anything "good" for the country or the people at large and are only self-interested (which is, itself, caused by fucked up campaign finance laws) and, as a result, they are willing to tell people anything, no matter how untrue, farfetched or dangerous. You know, things like, "Illegals are taking all of the jobs!" "Democrats are socialists!" "Sandy Hook families are crisis actors!" "Trans women are taking over women's sports and gaining access to women's bathrooms to spy on little girls' pee-pees!" and various other outrageous and stupid shit like that. Whites feel (or believe) they are losing their grip on power and want to hear it's not happening or that there is someone to blame and there are things to do about it. So they vote for the assholes riling them up because it makes them feel good. So, in a word - dopamine. Dopamine is to blame for all of this.
  9. Fun fact: He sat in on a mediation I had recently.
  10. If this keeps up, we'll be buyers at the deadline. Who do we get? A SP with some control to replace Valdez would be my guess/wish. Edit: MacKenzie Gore from the Nats?
  11. And all of this without our best hitter in the lineup.
  12. This. They have charged him with human trafficking. They allege that he brought MS 13 gang members into the U.S. The investigation into the trafficking charges started after he was sent to El Salvador.
  13. I've been busy with other shit, so I'm late in posting, but Abrego Garcia back on U.S. soil, for those who missed it.
  14. This actually made me physically ill. There just is no bottom.
  15. The kind who would suck your cock for a thousand dollars.
  16. I've always loved this graphic. Especially the part with DJ Monroe standing on the sideline. Anyway, I applaud BB. Good for him. Fuck the haters.
  17. I don't know which one I hate more between Leavitt and Bondi.
  18. My son started select ball last summer. The coach was recommended by another family at our school. The coach is great - knowledgeable, motivating, not over the top with criticism. The other parents on the team are pretty chill - no loudmouths. As far as the team goes, it's been good. Going to tournaments was eye-opening though. There are A LOT of people who take this shit VERY seriously. I just wonder what they are all thinking. Do they think their kid has a chance to play MLB? My son's goal is to make his HS team. He's going to be a freshman next year. I think he has a pretty good chance of making the freshman team. Whether we continue with select ball remains to be seen. He's definitely improved because of it and has had a generally positive experience. I just don't know how much is too much in terms of commitment by our family.
  19. Good. Fuck that chode.
