In fastpitch softball, the Jugs machine is routinely brought in for parent/kid scrimmages at the end of practice. We have to make hitting either the machine or the bucket of balls an automatic ground rule double and stipulate that nobody is to bunt so the person feeding the machine doesn't try to make plays in front of the machine which if you do, you are likely to get burned by the wheel. The result is that the kids do try to hit it up the middle and the parent fielding that machine has to have cat like reflexes.

One of the main prerequisites is that it has to get those unsightly Russian stains out.

Because it gives him more time with Trump? Or he likes Trump because he loves Putin?

Erdogan got some assurances about membership in the EU i'm guessing or he's just decided that Putin's day has come and gone.

If I had more freetime I'd post a picture of the actor that each draftee is named after or had same last name of. Or in the case of a certain Frankenmouth player...hey oh! So, there would be a picture of a Hamm's beer or Jon Hamm or Gregory Peck or you get the idea. My McGonigle was the McGarnegal character from the Simpsons.

Its Peggy Noonan. You know she wrote it with a quill whilst drinking an invigorating tea

Imagine shilling for Putin

The comparison is that we are now in the 100 days after he left Elba. I think that works. Joe Biden as Wellington. The Lincoln Project as Blucher.

My favorite historical allegory was that Trump was The Bismark. It took a while for the British fleet to sink him but he eventually sunk and with him went Hitler's dream of a blue water navy.
