There are times it would be nice to believe in hell.

which goes back to something I thought back in 2016, which was that whichever candidate won the presidency that year, their party was going to suffer long term. It didn't actually seem to happen with Trump, but maybe (hopefully) it's just been a delayed reaction because his cult of personality has the glue holding that voting coalition together. If the GOP turns against him now en masse - which seems to be the plan - at least in terms of presidential politics, the GOP's underlying weakness may be become more exposed. That said, I wouldn't underestimate the Dem's ability to screw up the chance they may get.

#2 is usually taken as evidence that Harris is sitting back and not doing anything.

Meanwhile from what I read Abbott and company still hasn't done much to address the electric grid. So while his own constituents freeze (those that can't afford Cancun), he's wasting their money on stunts.

It’s being reported that there is interest in Chris Sale. He’s injury-prone and a knucklehead. This tells me three things: 1) There must also be interest in ERod, who is a better bet. 2) Since there are no “reports” about this, or any other Tigers, Mr. Harris and team are incredibly tight-lipped, similar to how DD ran things. 3) #2 is going to drive a lot of folks here into a frenzy.

I love the idea of their cruel hearts being broken, that they are broken as humans. That’s a good angle to impact the people in the middle, especially around Christmas.

Because we’re trying to bring the world together, it’s others who are divisive. We’re not dividing people, you are. That’s the gospel of Roy Cohn.

His best move may be to say that this is a very oily stunt made by small people whose hearts are as broken as their brains. I had more thoughts on the mechanism of how the Law should go after Abbott and company but obviously, the counter-troll move is to humiliate the troll not to fight the troll.

Ok, I'll bite. This team won 66 games last year. This team isn't gonna Brandon Drury and Wil Myers their way to 80+ wins, bounceback performances on the existing roster or, in the case of Tork, Greene and other less established players advanced performances, are a necessary condition to getting there. Sorry if we aren't getting the dopamine rush of Jon Heyman and Jeff Passan mentioning the Tigers in rumors (or rather laundering player agent talking points), that is just reality. Billy Hamilton signed with the White Sox already. Probably Vic Reyes' competition for a roster spot lol

That means DeSantis and his cohorts too...

The buses crossed state lines. As far as I am concerned, the perpetrators are no longer subject to state law and therefore have committed the federal crime of interstate human trafficking. Abbott and his accomplices/ accessories to these crimes need to be arrested by federal agents and charged.

The inherent cruelty and indifference of this action is frightening. If you treated an animal this way, you’d be arrested and shunned by your community. Yet, these perpetrators of these acts are applauded by many …( and funded by every damn citizen of the state these buses leave from - whether they actually would approve of such expenditures or not). Time for the “every man” from these states to tell their respective governors this is NOT a solution. And, I am NOT saying that there doesn’t NEED to be a much better federal plan in place to address these states’ issues, but by all that is holy, stop treating these HUMAN BEINGS like boardgame pieces. It’s plain old sinful and disgusting.

Holy crap...is this the reverse of NYT pitchbot? https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/12/22/red-wave-midterm-elections-2022-what-happened/

So utterly terrible. The cruelty is the point. What did these people do besides trying to make a better life for themselves? Oh they were born of color.

The FBI needs to arrest Abbott on human trafficking or whatever the appropriate charge would be. These stunts have to end.

I was coming down here to say the same thing, but you beat me to it, so I'ma give you a like on that one. Dad humor FTW.

So...it was a brunch of speculation...

Let me toss this out there. Say Detroit gets the #1 pick and Luka demands a trade. Would ya? I mean it will cost you Victor plus Ivey and I imagine at least two future 1st round picks. But its Luka. Luka and Cade together would be a lot of fun. Both are buckets and both can average 10 assists per game. You can put the ball in either ones hands at the end of a game. You still have Stew, Duren, Bey, and Hayes if he continues to improve. But here is the kicker. Luka is the only one on a huge contract. So you have space to sign another max guy. Or split it up and sign two really good, but not max guys. With Luka we would be a free agent destination. I would do it in a heartbeat.

I guess that would depend on your opinion of Burks. I think getting a 40% three-point shooter for two second round picks + paying Noel for a year is pretty good value. Noel also has a little trade value at the deadline and/or end of the season. The Pistons have a team option on Noel for next year so they can cut him this summer for nothing. A team looking to dump salary could be interested in trading for him to do so. Assuming they have something Detroit wants or will take on for picks.

All the players who spoke out against Robert Sarver are probably going to speak out against this. Right?

I love conservatives declaring why the left does something. I know if I want to know the lefts intentions I'm going to a conservative writer.
