If we were playing a Kremlin Talking Points drinking game, I would have been dead of alcohol poisoning before finishing reading this post.

"have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Rocky III is on...........I sure hope Rocky can win.

Saw this and immediately felt the need to put this table together, ranked by 2020 firearm mortality rate, and using color-coding to show just how weighted to one party the problem really is. I'm being generous by including governors here because the gun legislation comes from the state houses and senates, and not out of the governor's mansion.

No AR-15 has ever been marketed for self-defense purposes. Its a fact. You can only use them to shoot animals and pieces of paper and some lighter cardboard.

They don't want to stop it. The Steve Bannon types are trying to cause chaos in pursuit of Leninist objectives of gaining power. People who follow along nodding as all their racial antagonisms are pushed (e.g., the people who think Kyle Rittenhouse should be made a congressman) are merely enabling these would be autocrats.

No, it’s because of GOP scare tactics

I'm going to add in annual registration fees. Make it cost restrictive to own more than one gun. A normal annual registration fee for the ownership of one gun (let's say a handgun for personal protection, under lock & key in the house), but rapidly rising annual fees per each additional gun owned. To help pay for the annual "mental health checkup" on ALL gun owners. To include an IRS audit (to make certain said gun owner is financially healthy and not ready to go off on people because of a pending bankruptcy or similar), FBI audit (to make certain someone hasn't been radicalized by online extremists and also to do a checkup on proper lock & key). And a mental health checkup by a professional. In fact, I believe all of these should be required PRIOR to the purchase of ANY gun by ANYONE. Also, an automatic 10-year Federal prison sentence for the ownership of military-level equipment by non-military personnel. To include body armor, armor piercing rounds, any magazines with a greater than 8 round capacity, bump stocks, and any weapon with a muzzle velocity higher than 1,200 feet per second. This last one eliminates AR-15's and any similar military quality weapon. Does anyone know what the muzzle velocity of a hunting .22 is? Roughly 1,100 feet per second. Does anyone know what the muzzle velocity of a 9mm is? Roughly 1,200 feet per second. Does anyone know what the muzzle velocity of a 44 Magnum is? Roughly 1,200 feet per second. Does anyone know what the muzzle velocity of an AR-15 is? Roughly 3,300 feet per second. This causes, on the battlefield, sonic damage in the wound area; in other words, inoperable wounds. Certain death. Downgrade muzzle velocity and high capacity magazines and you downgrade all of these mass shootings. PS: Republicans don't want you to know that...

Armando's Galarraga's smile in that moment could have killed. Just says a lot about his character

Here's video of Riley's bomb.

Yankee Stadium - Bronx, NY TV: Ballysports Detroit Radio: WXYT Forecast RHP Gerrit Cole vs RHP Elvin Rodriguez

I can’t watch it. The camera angles are different. I don’t like the announcers. Seems like the quality is lower. Has a dark tone to the visuals. It’s not my TV because other games are not like that. Also I want to switch back and forth when the hockey game starts and it’s harder to do that when it’s a streaming app. Dickerson on the radio is a definite upgrade.

Well, imagine some Yankee male fans listening to Suzyn Waldman on Yankees radio for a few decades now, with her BOSTON accent. 😂 (truth be told, she’s very knowledgeable, but the accent is like fingernails on a blackboard). AND she’s teamed with John Sterling…. Just poke my ear drums out. 😁

I have Apple TV its only $5.00 a month plus the $199 device and I like it and many shows are good (Ted , Dino's etc) but yes Apple and all tech companies have their issues. Anyway I am listening to Dan on the radio and the tv on mute. As a Father of two daughters I am not proud to say that I can not tolerate female play play announcers...and on the field commentators...and being an old school old guy don't waste your time shaming me cause I don't care.

Rizzuto! My dad, as a young man in the Bronx, always used to be mistaken for Phil. (During Phil’s playing time… they were about the same age) … and same height (short as all hell) When older, my dad more resembled Yogi.lol

this was worth anything i gave them

Lolwut

Where is the state of Chicago on this chart?

Why I started gathering, but trying to figure out the best way to organize before diving too far.

Democrats are not part of the problem....They ARE the problem. This country has become a disaster since Biden and his comrades took office. The US is a much more dangerous place to live. People buy and carry guns because of democrats and their policies and actions. We don't even have free speech around democrats. Look at how many right wing peaceful protests have been attacked by violent democrat counter protestors. People being attacked for wearing a MAGA hat or Tshirt. Rarely do you see Republican act that way. Now demented Joe wants to take away legal firearms and create more victims.

We've reached the point where we get lectured about how guns work from the people who think a fertilized egg is a baby.

That's one way to approach it. I'm not sure how much they put into it now. They would also need to put resources into stopping straw purchase sales, as well as identifying unscrupulous or corrupt legally-licensed gun dealers who flout the law now and certainly would then.

Peter Navarro charged with contempt of Congress.

Musk has essentially declared himself a republican on twitter. Biden doesn't need to treat him any different than any other unelected dude with republican beliefs I don't really care what musk thinks about the economy, let alone what Biden thinks about what musk thinks about the economy.

Go Woodsy!

I've paid customs on two guitars and have ordered at least 15 from Asia. It's hit and miss but was around $70 every time.

Can we get Robsons coach to the Tigers ASAP

Tonight's game is on AppleTV, not Bally. I like the AppleTV broadcasts, so I'm looking forward to it.

if you have Xfinity peacock is free

Peacock is $4.99 a month. And they also do live cycling from Europe. Starting Sunday is eight days of Criterium du Dauphine then in July there’s 21 days of Tour de France and in August another 21 days of La Vuelta. They also have a lot of movies but like every streaming service that’s for the most part lost on me. And there’s a lot of TV shows which is similarly lost on me because I’ve become a 70-year-old teenager who thinks everything sucks.

I would ban the sale of guns on credit. Has to be a cash or direct payment transaction.

My dumb idea of the day is to impose a tax on ammunition sales. Make it something like 20% of a cost per round. Also allow it like Michigan's bottle tax...a portion can be refundable when you return the spent casings.

Indeed. That's what I take away from the game. That and Galarraga is the only pitcher to throw a 28 out perfect game.

Galarraga and Joyce, later, showed us what grace is.

Liability insurance has got to be part of this. That would break the back of a lot of undisciplined gun ownership. Associate meaningful regulation with the ownership of weapons similar to car ownership. There will still be illegal weapons ownership of course but the kid who can't get into dad's biometric safe he had to buy to keep his pistol won't be able to kill himself -- that way.

I think the Tampa Bay Rays knew he was going to injure his hand when they let the Tigers sign him.

More maga fail

off a lefty too.

I'm a fan. I know he's young, but hope the plan is to get him up to Erie at some point.

Great home run call.

What?! Let whomever hasn’t run shirtless onto the field to punch out the first base coach cast the first stone.

"GOP candidate calls for defunding the Police!" I want to see this ad.

Remember when Trump was going to have a cyber security task force with Putin?

this account is fantastic. AI-generated art. also, TIL that it's not a good idea to paste a link to a twitter profile into a post here.

Also, the AR-15 is semi automatic civilian rifle used for competition shooting and hunting. It is not a military rifle and never used on a battlefield. Sorry, I just wanted to point out another democrat lie they use for a talking point.
