I think he’s getting behind George as his long term guy or at least wants to see how handles that role.   Putting a green Antonelli in makes Russell the unquestioned #1.  It wouldn’t have been quite as clear had he gone with a Sainz, Perez, or even back to Bottas. 

George’s car got better at the end last year while Lewis’s didnt.  I can see it going either way for Merc.  Either fighting 3-4 or dropping way down and white flagging it.  

Sainz is the only one of that group you listed that would be a #1 driver.  Bottas has proven when he was with merc that he isn’t even a good second F1 driver.  Flailing away a Sauber didn’t do him any good.  I’m really surprised Merc picked him up as a reserve.  Checo’s performance the last couple years made his stock drop to about nothing.  I do agree that they are taking a chance with Antonelli but it might pay off and he could quickly jump over George and be the top driver on the team.

It's too bad you can't even read the Tigers forum on this site without having some whiney liberal with severe TDS post their politely crap.

It's snowing here in SE Detroit. The biggest snowflakes I've ever seen in my 65 years on this earth. 😱

You just need to go to the political forum on this site to see bigger snowflakes 😀

It looks like this forum is unmoderated now.  Intelligent people can debate and have conversation but name calling says a lot about a person. You all have fun worrying about your pronouns while Americans will take pride in fixing the country.  Someone should send your leader David Hogg an invite to this forum.  He would fit in here.

I think part of it is shock still.  Hamtramck's mayor just said he still supports Trump the other day.  I suspect they hope/think Trump saying what he's saying about Gaza is not going to be pursued.  

Most if not all of the people who voted for President Trump still support him.  He is doing what he said he would do and they are getting good results.  It's the far left liberals like yourself that claim the sky is falling because that is what your political party including mainstream media want you to think. The US political system was full of corruption and waste and needed big changes. It's refreshing to see it happening.

I’m good with Bregman not signing with the Tigers.  I don’t think he would have been that much of an upgrade for what they would have to pay.  They can invest that money into a better player in the future.

President Trump is doing such a good job delivering on what he said he would in his campaign that the left has resorted to posting garbage like this.  Pretty soon this will be reported as fact on CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN so the far left heads will explode over more false info.

I would rather see Flaherty signed by the Tigers than Bregman. There are a couple choices to play 3rd that aren't as good as Bregman but they aren't bad either. I don't have a lot of confidence in their pitching staff past Skubal. I'm sure a couple guys will do OK but there is a place for Flaherty in the rotation that will make the Tigers a better team as long as they can get him on a shorter deal.

Regarding the potential tariffs against Colombia, one thing Trump has never understood (or maybe just doesn't care about) is how much of our power in the world comes from being a trusted, reliable partner. It's soft power, but it has worked to our benefit as a country since the end of WWII

Actions like this cede ground... And when ground is ceded, a vacuum is created. And vacuum's end up being filled by others (ie. China)

For the last four years Biden has been pushed around by everyone and did little to nothing to stand up for the US. Trump is showing there is a new sheriff in town and he won’t be pushed around.  If Biden would have been a strong leader there likely wouldn’t be a war in Ukraine and the palestinian terrorists would not have attacked Israel.

Thats the dumbest thing ive seen posted here in a long time.  Goodness.

You don’t have to look too hard to find dumb things posted here including the political section.

Most of the people charged were not violent offenders.  If I remember correctly the common charges were unlawful entry and trespassing - nothing worthy of a prison sentence.

no it says more about trumps promised weaponization of government than Biden's family.  

You mean like how Biden did to Trump with the kangaroo court in NY?  People will be charged if they commit crimes but I think the days of a weaponized DOJ are over since Garland and Biden are gone.

Sorry Barney but nice try.  The pardon proves how corrupt these people are.  Nevertheless its a great day and President Trump is now in office and the country can heal from the Biden disaster.

Biden pardoned his family because Trump has threatened them.

People who do nothing wrong don’t need a pardon. 

If there was any doubt on how corrupt that the Biden family and his political circle are it was all erased in the last couple days.  Biden pardoned his family and political allies.  That shows the world how corrupt they are.  They wouldn’t have needed a pardon if they had done nothing wrong.

Allowing men to compete against women doesn’t just take away the rewards of their performance when men come in and out perform them.  It puts their safety at risk.  These men competing against them are bigger and stronger and many women have been hurt.  Besides women have enough competition with other women for making teams and getting scholarships.  They shouldn’t have to compete against men too.  Women’s sports are there for a reason. It seems pretty hypocritical when someone says they support women’s rights and they’re concerned for their safety when they support men competing in women sports and sharing their locker room. Democrats have been doing this for a long time and this election it bit them in the rear.

It was to stay out of jail. My thought also, but, he will let whomever strokes him the best decide the agenda for the next four years…. And this is dangerous. Very.

And more stacking of judges at state levels is also a horror story. And especially As a woman, I fear for the young women of the country who are in imminent danger of returning to second class citizen status. Childbirth death rates have already risen, and will continue to escalate.

and as for immigration reform, I predict in a very near future, where people will be asked (/required) to confirm their citizenship, whether or not they were born here, but if they look like they might have some other nations blood in them, they will be asked for their “papers“. and if you don’t ****ing see this coming, you’re turning a blind eye to the future. Maybe you’re not afraid for yourself or your children, but you damn well oughta be.

You are probably right that a lot of people are going to have to prove their citizenship.  That is not the fault of the incoming administration.  That was caused by Biden and Mayorcus for letting millions of people, including dangerous people on terror lists enter the country illegally and did nothing about it.  Now the incoming administration has to clean up the mess and it’s a very big mess that has endangered all of us.

I also don’t understand the fear mongering about women.  The incoming administration is not going to change anything with abortion. They are also going to help women in athletics by keeping men out of women’s sports.

I know. No matter how big a disaster was created or how many times you explain it they can't see the light. I never understood how anyone can be so married to a political party. It happens on the right too.

Yeah but you brag about voting for trump so your concern about presidential marbles is.... inconsistent... at best.

I voted for the best candidate. Next election your party will have to nominate a good candidate in the primaries instead of forcing a terrible candidate and an even worse VP pick on the country. The results of the election were not a surprise to eIther side.

I dont agree.   Even marginal improvements in issues of mortality are very important.   Bidens scruples are not important

But his marbles are and most people are convinced he's lost his.

I'm referring to Maga, not you. Trump has turned politics into the Wild West. Say and do whatever you want, no consequences, we'll draw the white hat on the last person standing.

Of course, history has always been this way. As long as the "law" gets their cut, the rich do whatever they want. I just hoped we could advance as a human race but one look at the supreme court proves we are far from advancing anywhere.

Saying Trump has turned politics into the wild west is a big stretch.  Don't forget what party came up with all the false accusations against Trump during his Presidential campaigns and after he was in office. Also don't forget the false accusations against his SCOTUS nominees and presented them like they were some kind of truth.  Both sides have had their part in the deteriation of American politics but the dems have led the way.

Yeah but it’s not 1995 anymore. You are describing how things were and ought to be but that’s not reality today.  There is no left wing media anymore.  MSNBC is dead ratings wise.  The others are folding to DJT.  This will get framed as the party with the most no votes shutting it down. There are different rules for democrats and republicans. It has been that way for 10 years now. 

That’s not true.  Most media are left wing and some are very far left.  CBS, ABC and NBC prove it daily. Look at the debates where the moderators were fact checking one side but not the other. ABC just settled out of court for false accusations on Trump.  Then you have NBC which is home to Kristen Walker and F Chuck Todd -two of the most biased reporters around siding for the democrats all the time.  Some of the cable outlets have realized they have to pay the light bill and are trying to cover Trump more fairly and objectively but are still a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Trump and his administration are a breath of fresh air after four years of complete disaster from the worst administration ever.  Government needs to fundamentally change for the safety and prosperity of the American people.  Most of you here are puppets to a political party so you are hoping Trump fails.  If he fails so does the country.  He might be our last chance to fix things.

I saw this a few days ago. This shows how stupid these people are and how little they know about firearms.  If any soldier in battle had an AR15 rifle they would be in deep trouble and highly outgunned.  A AR15 is no more suited for war as a hockey stick is for golf.

That is a good point.  My 99 year old father was in an emergency room for over 30 hours a year ago because there were no hospital beds.  He had both Medicare and VA insurance, so he could go to either.  VA was a cost savings for certain things.   

That's what it is in our area. More patients out in hall than in rooms. Lots of police too with people cuffed to chairs. Going to the ER is last resort.
