They're in the US on legal visas. Being accused with some sort of relationship to a child pornography ring without being presented with evidence or charges. Held overnight and shipped out to parts unknown. https://www.whro.org/business-growth/2025-08-18/more-filipino-cruise-ship-workers-detained-deported-from-norfolk-based-carnival-sunshine?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwMReylleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHkMmIx-7b83pwE3WZbCwRN4Vk_OZXY22k06DImUr6ctJ4oQofsL7shIQKLPT_aem_GhNgOhr51hDuz9b942i11A Hey G Man please defend this with a plausible explanation. if the charges are credible they still should be allowed a fair trial, at least

I would add strong arming businesses for "campaign" contributions as a way to approve things like mergers and avoid "sanctions". Universities are included in this as well (withholding previously approved funds because of political differences)

The Athletic has an article on realignment following the commissioner's interview during the Little League World Series this past weekend. Their writers have come up with a couple of plausible scenarios. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6560635/2025/08/19/mlb-expansion-realignment-leagues-projection/?source=athletic_pulsenewsletter&campaign=14564600&userId=213687 One would be two leagues with four divisions AL East Baltimore, Boston, NY Yankees, Toronto AL West Las Vegas, LA Angels, Expansion (Salt Lake or Portland) Seattle AL North White Sox, Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota AL South Colorado, Houston, Kansas City, Texas ( The Rockies change leagues) NL East Mets, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington NL West Arizona, Dodgers, San Diego, San Francisco NL North Cubs, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, St Louis NL South Atlanta, Miami, Tampa, Expansion (Nashville, North Carolina)

Hooker's not going anywhere this season. If it gets to the point he's needed to be the starter, the season is lost anyway. Keep him this year on his current (rookie?) contract and look for someone in the draft next year or pick up someone who gets let go in the offseason. Your third string QB is an insurance policy. Nothing more (Unless you get extremely lucky like the '49ers a couple years ago)

Since Comerica opened in 2000, I would assume an enclosed park would look something like the one in Milwaukee which opened about the same time (2001). Hopefully the Illitches would have enough forethought to have a retractable roof. If it was designed to be able to see the skyline when open it wouldn't be bad...

It's time to again post my favorite Danny Murtaugh quote

Maybe they'd need to license their golf carts (if it already isn't a law).

I always carry an extra screwdriver with me just in case someone forgets

Patiently waiting for Jake Tapper's book on the cognitive backslide of Donald Trump.

The other aspect that enters the conversation is that Trump and his “advisers” have put a bad connotation on the word. Illegal’s have become code for nonwhite’s seeking to enter the country. Especially among the White Christian Nationalists crowd. Before that many of the same folks brought the connotation on Arabs and Muslims during the Middle East wars. Nobody talks about white Europeans that may enter illegally. Or even folks from say China who paid Trump big bucks to come and produce anchor babies

Immigration get the job done. They won our independence

Same reason you defend so called ICE agents who cover faces, lack real uniforms and act like assholes We are done here

I read most of the report. There is a major divide between those that want just straight play by play and those who can’t stand some of personality. Not being a Detroit native, my initial baseball listening was to Bob Prince. Somewhere between the jabber there was a ballgame. I loved it. TV was relegated to the Game of the Week which was great to nap to when I got older. Guys like Prince, Ralph Kiner, Harry Carey and the like were always a bit controversial to some fans. The national games on Fox or ESPN or Apple are just background noise. Much like the old beautiful music format on radio stations

So I can put on a uniform, and chase down any speeder I want to on I275?

So you’re ok with anchor babies. Got it

So you're in favor of arresting and beginning deportation proceedings against Musk since technically he lied when entering the country on a student visa. How about Trump, his grandfather re-entered the country illegally from Germany to avoid the draft. Trump's wife could be considered to have entered the country under false pretenses. (She became legal after marriage). Where do you draw the line...

Maybe we should also send the Statue of Liberty back to France. In reality we are all here illegally if you look at it in black and white.

From JVL in today's Bulwark. Perhaps governors from Blue States should start sending National Guard troops to DC, rather than relying on troops from Red States only Then maybe we begin deportation proceedings on the offending violators.

Once again to paraphrase GW Bush. Most of these people are doing jobs Americans don't want. If they have no record, are productive and otherwise good citizens what's wrong. Restaurants are begging for workers. Farmers in the Midwest are begging Trump to relax deportation of farm workers. The hostility industry is also hurting. Maybe we should go after the industries that hire and import "illegals" first.

More from the Cato report It's one thing to arrest and deport convicted criminals. Another to target people who are actually working and doing "jobs other Americans don't want to do" to paraphrase another Republican Party President.

I think you might find this interesting reading when your not feeding rodents https://www.cato.org/blog/65-people-taken-ice-had-no-convictions-93-no-violent-convictions

I'm not even sure these "Lawful enforcement officers" are even legit. For all the actions I've seen they are akin to the trespassers back in 2021. Have they actually received training or are they just randomly picked because they are a friend of a friend who made large donations to MAGA Man I know a few police officers. They are all aghast by their actions. Giving bad name to legitimate authorities. Im going back to my bad 1970s thinking and calling them PIGS.

Much rather that than a bunch of Michigan Militia (not really an official militia) guys running around pretending to be cops. What if a group like these guys decide they're going to enforce speeding laws and pulls you over on I-75 for speeding, No uniform, possibly fake badge, wearing a mask? I'm more concerned about these asshole's thug tactics.

I’m old enough to remember when Trumpublicans complained about hundreds upon hundreds of paper ballots being dumped in county precincts. Calling them fraudulent.
