What was dismissed was the level of right wing violence you predicted. There have been pockets here and there, but nowhere close to what you predicted. Not yet anyway. I think the next four years are going to be ugly if Trump wins, but the ugly stuff may be instigated by the left. I wouldn't blame them, but just saying.

He is great for billionaires if they can manipulate him which seems not very difficult. They might not like him so much if his chaos starts to affect them negatively.

Where is 84lives these days? Keith will be the next Rogers Hornsby!

Bezos has more wealth than the entire United States treasury. I think he can find a way to get Trump out of the way if need be. Then again, Mush does too.

I'm not even sure they'd want to hire me here at my age. So, I'm hoping to keep my job for a few more years until I am ready for retirement.

No, I mean if people are worried that Orange Hitler is planning to have people killed, I think the big companies would discourage that and I think they have more influence in our county than political wonks are willing to admit.

That's the worst thing about Trump. I have no confidence that he is on my side. I mean if he wouldn't even keep his VP safe, why would I think he's going to keep anyone else safe? I view him as the enemy and I have never felt that way about any President regardless of how much I disagreed with them.

I feel like the super wealthy who own this country would not be interested in mass extermination. That wouldn't be good for business. Would it?

Bring back the Expos and I'm sold!

I wouldn't leave the country over politics which is why I am not thinking of leaving. Intellectually, this country is dead to me now. There is little interest among the masses in science or truth or any of the principles which guide my life. However, it is still a good place for me to live my day to day life. At my age, I would only leave if I thought another country would provde a significatly better lifestyle and I don't think that would be that easy to find. I guess I could reconsider when I am comfortably ready to retire.

I don't expect it to get bad enough for me personally where uprooting my entire life is going to be a good solution. Every country has its problems and Europe is getting more conservative too. Plus, any problems we have here are going to spill over into the rest of the world unless we lose influence.

I mostly agree. As with every young player, I think there is a very wide range of outcomes including many bad ones. I think McAuliffe would be a good outcome as a player with 8 consecutive above average years in his prime. I also think it's a reasonable target. If he moves to first base, then hitting like McAuliffe would not be such a good outcome, but he does have the potential to do better than that.

When it comes to physical scouting, I am pretty bad too.

I was talking to my Israeli friend the other day. She lived here for several years, but now is living in Israeli. She left long before Trump was in the picture, but pays close attention to what is happening here. She is a psychologist who flat out said he is a psychopath (not that we needed confirmation). She matter of factly asked if I was preparing to leave the country. I'm not.

yeah, I am expecting nothing. It's like Bowden saying that the Tigers talked to Soto's agent.

JD Vance won't like that. He's waiting to step in.

McAuliffe

Fernando Mania was probably the closest thing we had to Bird Mania. They both died too young.

The longest the series could have gone was Monday, so they could have played Wednesday.

I am so tired of this ****. So, tired of these losers making excuses for that absolute piece of trash.

Those aren't real polls though. If that's what ALL the pollsters are doing, then it's all bull****.

So, basically they don't know what's going to happen with enough certainty to declare a winner either way. It's not that they are terrified. They just don't know.

It's another reason why playoffs are pretty meaningless to me. Taking 4 days off in between series is not the way baseball is supposed to be.

Donald Trump pretending to work on that stupid show where he fired everyone is what contributed to his popularity in the first place.

I do remember that confidence in 2012, but Republicans always talk confidently about their chances.
