The Bally app is so freaking bad.

Trump's gonna have a stroke this week.

Reminds me of Maria Bello in "The Cooler"

It didn't just go away. It started eroding in the 1990s. Can't mention the IRA without talking about the UVF on the other side, which was often much more brutal and less discriminant. What really started happening is in the 1980s when the world started opening up to people and became smaller, millions of younger Irish people saw that their way of life, the ways of hate, were not normal - that the world did not operate that way. As those younger people in the 1980s started to rise to more powerful positions they started pushing out the old guard, the bitter people who lived, breathed and thrived on this ongoing civil war. Those old bastards are dying off, and there aren't many left and when they die off, so does this appetite for hatred. The saddest part of The Troubles is that the vast majority of Irish people didn't care about Catholic/Protestant nonsense, they just wanted better jobs and better opportunities and didn't care for the divisions. Took a long, long time, but they won out. We will too. After most of us are gone. This vitriol, which started with Limbaugh and Gingrich, is peaking right now and it will peak awhile longer, but it will start to fade as people realize this is getting them nowhere. We're going to have to go through a few more Charlottesvilles/January 6/George Floyd moments to get there, but we will.

But here's the thing for the Republicans. This disease has spread and it's gonna take several rounds of chemo to kill it. I think Trump is losing it mentally. He didn't have much to begin with, but if he can still string a sentence together in 2028, he'll end up being their nominee again. They won't be able to stop him and he won't be able to walk away. His ego needs so much attention. After the election WHEN he loses, he'll get sentenced to house arrest and then Biden will probably give him some sort of provisional pardon - maybe part of it is that he can't run for office again, but Trump will go all Hoffa and ignore that. Biden will do that to try to heal the country. It won't. It took Ireland 7 decades to get through The Troubles. We're having our own version of that right now.

It's just nice to see the Democrats galvanized for a changed. It was like that for Bill Clinton and for Barack Obama, but there was a lack of energy for Kerry, Gore and Hillary. It's far from over, but the other side is looking weird, and extreme and far from the mainstream. More life-long Republicans and stepping up against him now too. Ones that aren't running for anything and aren't scared of the MAGAs. I mean, these are people who are NOT liberal by any stretch, but they also aren't crazy. There's a lot more people like that than we think, but I think they are afraid to speak up. I am afraid to put a Harris sign in front of my house because the I don't want my house or car vandalized.

The Democratic Convention is like Delta House throwing a great kegger The Republican convention was in the dark with the leaders wearing robes with hoods, swatting their faithful who kept saying "Thank you, sir, may I have another".

Yep, you're going to win over that female vote. You keep being you, asshole.

Never mind. Just read she still supports him. Maybe it's Ivanka. Maybe she wants her old friends back.

Marla Maples?

How about one of these monsters?

Thought bubble: "This should be working. I am insulting them. That means I get headlines. These are such good jokes. They are so original. I mean, I am killin' like Don Rickles up here and that (female dog) keeps getting the headlines. I don't understand it. I wish I was at home with a big bag of potato chips............mmmmmm potato chips"

Trump on Thursday, when talking about giving GOP donor Miriam Adelson the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s top civilian honor, said it is “actually, much better” than the Medal of Honor “because everyone (who) gets the congressional medal of honor, that’s soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead.” That's the actual quote. If you think the idea is offensive, the quote makes it much worse. Someone doesn't deserve an honor because they died in the service of there country - or that honor is diminished because they died? Oh, **** YOU, you bloviating gas bag.

Oh please, someone with photoshop skills please superimpose Vincent Vega walking in and looking around conused.

They thought it was gonna be like Chicago 1968, didn't they?

NOT LETTING HIM SPEAK? HE'S RUNNING AGAINST THEM !!!!!!!!!!! OH THIS IS UNBEARABLE............UNBEARABLE..........LOL, SOMETIMES I JUST KILL MYSELF.

No, that's wrong. The Silence is WAY better than the music they chose. Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again is from Phantom Of The Opera. It seems to fit the tone of the Celine Dion song about a boat sinking. I mean, they seem to be sending out the right signals, eh?

Yep. LOL. What an idiot. She might even end up in Chicago this week. This is what happens when you don't listen to campaign advisors that know (at least a little) what they are talking about. Just wing it, Don. You're doing a great job!

I remember the Tigers sweeping the Yankees at home and one of the vendors walked around waving a broom chanting sweep sweep sweep by the Yankee dugout and Paul O'Neil got him fired.

That was a joke. It's actually 2021 but the announcers were so pro-Yankee I thought they were going to say that.

But isn't this kind of a repeat of what we see every year? Team gets off to a slow start and then rallies in the last two months - AFTER they are out of it. This year they started better but June was abysmal. I just feel like they set us up with hope in August and September every year and then wind up with 74-78 wins again. Can we start better? Maybe bringing up Jung now is geared towards not having him take his lumps in April/May like Keith and Meadows did. Let it happen now, maybe it helps for a more consistent first half next year.

I know it was actually 2021 but I am thinking like the ESPN broadcasters.

Wow, first time they won back to back over the Yankees since 1971 !
