The guy he's batting for goes to third? The whole concept is probably the worst baseball idea I've ever heard which means there is a good chance of it happening.

When I first saw a post about the Golden At Bat rule, I thought it was just joke, but apparently Manfred is actually considering it. Why does he hate baseball?

Sure, if you like psychopaths and wannabe dictators.

I said that Presidents should not have the power to pardon anyone. However, I would protect a family member from a psychopath at all costs.

I personally don't think Presidents should have the power to pardon anyone. However, if I had a son and some vindictive psychopath openly stated that he's out to get me and my family, I sure as hell would use that power if I had it.

What makes you think they were left wing voters? I personally know independents who voted for Trump in 2016, Biden in 2020, and back to Trump this year. Their stated reason was that they thought Harris was too radical. There are more independents than either Democrats or Republicans and they often vote for different reasons than D and R voters. They are also more likely to sit out an election if they don't like either candidate.

Of course Biden pardoned his son. He knows that a much worse criminal was planning to put him in prison.

Yes, I know. They want to go back the 1950s if not earlier.

There is the problem right there. EVERYTHING is about making the biggest profit possible. There are small companies that are trying to make a profit while also being an important part of the community, but they are becoming a smaller and smaller part of our total economny. I would love to see that reversed, but the mega corportations now have so much power and influence, I don't see it ever happening especially not with one of the wealthiest men in the world in lock step with the President.

That's like when a sports team is good but fans scream for an overhaul when it goes into a slump.

Burning everything down is stupid. America is a great country with some things that need to be fixed. You don't tear down something that's great. You try to fix what's broken.

$1,302 for a Brenan Hanifee autograph? https://www.ebay.com/itm/305931822710?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338684451&customid=121&toolid=20012&mkevt=1

$500 per letter.

I always assumed that the luxury tax was designed to suppress salaries more than to promote competitive balance. I say the same thing about the draft, although nobody seems to agree!

Nothing will ever be done about it regardless because it's more efficient to make stuff outside of America. If something is done about it, we'll become a less prosperous country. The oligarchy will not allow it.

That is the best part all the way through the first few years of winning. My experience with Boston sports teams is that it gets old after you start expecting wins and realize they won't win every year. It doesn't get near as old as losing every year though!

For wealthy people, white collar crimes are not crimes. It's just smart business.

The best part of the story is learning that this league has been playing since 1919.

The military will be key the next four years. As long as they keep Trump under control, we can continue with our oligarchy. In fact, they'll likely use Trump to strengthen the oligarchy.

I view it as a clear victory, but not a landslide. I do not think 50% to 48% is a land slide regardless of how many electoral votes were won. I do think it's fair for the next few years to favor the Republicans. That is why they have elections and the Republicans won this time. They still govern for the entire country though, so my hope is that there will not be radical moves which change the entire fabric of the country.

He may well be stopped again despite assumptions otherwise. For example, Congress wants to stay in power and while they will vote conservatively, they are aren't going to vote for something radical. He may get some resistance in other areas - military, law suits, federal reserve, etc.

I didn't think that she sounded much different than she usually does, but I am not concerned with how fast people speak. The right used to make fun off Obama's deliberate pauses in his speech even though he can talk circles around any of them.

Are you implying that he must have won in 2020 because he did better in every state in 2024? Using the same logic, one could just as easily suggest that he actually lost in 2024.

I can not find anything at all about Christian Quintz. Edman doesn't even have a spreadsheet with his name on it.

She looks and sounds ten times better than your president.
