Not cool Mexico. If I didn't know better, i'd say that the Political class in Mexico's legendary resistance to corruption was being tested by Russian influence efforts.

There is some simple formula that -- perhaps defined by some future or past Nobel Prize winner -- that the degree to which an institution affords power to an individual -- while lacking accountability via transparency equals risk of sexual abuse.

I wish she'd wear that dress on the floor of the House.

Is it expected behavior from a paid escort?

That team was scuffling until the trade deadline. They made a fantastic trade for Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante that shaped the playoff run.

The best part of our playoff run was the dominance against the Yankees and A's in the post season. Those series were wonderful. Our best strategy is to not play anyone else but those teams in the post season.

In a different world I'd want Barbara Comstock, the former GOP rep who used to be here since she is now fully anti-Trump.

Yeah, this isn't anything like a good take

Please destroy them, Eduardo

Sports weekend for me: Friday night poker: $20 buy in. I left with $18. Tigers win a righteous laugher with Skubal pitching really well. Saturday: Softball House team i coach grinds out a tough loss because a superb pitcher and her caddy catcher decide they needed innings and they helped us out. The only runs we give up are my own daughter having a rough inning. MSU loses like they just lied to everyone in the program about how much trouble their coach was in and then everyone in the program basically decided to give a crap effort against a good Washington team...or maybe they were not capable of a good effort because their coach wasn't good. Michigan has a hiccup and our Heisman candidate QB loses his Heisman in three quick ill-advised throws. Still alive for all their other goals but not great. Maybe the suspension was bad. Maybe Michigan needs Harbaugh. Tigers cough up a lead but squeak out a win in extras with a Miggy RBI which feels nice. Sunday: Daughter's Softball travel team I do not coach but merely watch and wonder about, loses first game on some flubs -- one involving getting picked off third of my daughter. Then shellacked by the other travel team in which the girl who I taught how to hit is the catcher. This occurs while Lions have a complete meh to whatever defensive performance. But the Tigers win a game in which their catcher of the now and next few years HRs twice. My buddy and I watch the final minute of the Broncos Commanders game and Russell Wilson gets a hail mary to drop/bounce and land in the hands of his WR but they fail the 2pt conversion. All-in-all it was a weekend.

Listening from a softball doubleheader…Dan and Lomas are whinging about penalties…. valid?

I think it would be important that the MSU leadership recognizes that. They don't seem to have a track record of premonition though.

The government shutdowns have got to stop. The correct answer is to actually shut down the government next time and not do ANYTHING until the budget is approved. No SS checks. No government payment to keep hospitals in rural america open. No F-22s flying over the Taiwan strait. No missile silos manned. No Post Offices in bumflurg, redstate USA. NADA. The government is too big you say?

Imagine if she actually aspired to be Brittany Speers and being in Congress and a servant of the people was her safety job?

From his perspective, who cares. She's the one with something to lose.

There was something in the Hacks on Tap podcast the other day about Romney having a map of the world in which it outlined the fall of great civilizations and he noted that in most cases the fall had something to do with authoritarianism.

Like me, his views on collective security, the rule of Law, and limited government remain his views. The party has changed. The democrats are gooder on the first two but not the last.

I forwarded this...woah.

They really wouldn’t like Wilkie who was as collective security as they come.

This is all rose-colored glasses for the ideal conditions of playing on the road (why we aren't good at home is weird) and having the big three with some help from Jake Rogers and others.

this team felt like a .500 caliber team all year. The horrid slumps at the beginning of the season and we had another in there ICR when but it didn't see we were as awful as a sub-70 win team.

My fear: Matt Millen crew for this game. I will not have audio on if that is the case.

I predict the same about myself.

Now DougJBalloon do Hunter Biden and the 2nd Amend and why NRA not rushing to defend him.
