theory was that a Shapiro nomination gets Trump Michigan. Saturate Hamtramck with neg ads about Gaza; and Trump pulls out a squeaker.

if they play 140 games each, Greene-Meadows-Carpenter-Veirling would be a very good OF.

I cannot see them spending $50M on the SS position.

Baez will not finish his contract in Det obviously. Sweeney is interesting. Gage Workman looks like he could play some type of ML role. But Baez is in the mix until Harris gets 2 shortstops who are better.

one "s" or two? hamassholes?

lots of Tiger fans at Wrigley

they can add 100M to the 2025 payroll and still not be in the top 15

The "weird" thing is the key. A fresh round of weirdness to fill at least 2 weeks of media stories.

per wikipedia: Only two people have ever been indicted on charges of violating the Logan Act, one in 1802 and the other in 1852. Neither was convicted.

Melania got $237,500 for walking downstairs to speak to the Log Cabin Republicans for 30 minutes. As the cash pot gets smaller, the Trumps will grift harder and ahrder as they see the money drying up. Down-ballot GQP people will get nothing.

DeSantis could not pull off the fake "county fair-best hog contest" stuff. He has been pretty effective as a governor in bringing MAGA style stupidity to all parts of the FLA government.

Trump's ability to take both sides of any issue not only comes with no downside to MAGA, but now it is a positive as the press will attack Dems who call out his extreme positions and says Dems are unfair; effectively having the press weaponize his flip-flops to defend Trump. Insane.

example 1,592 of the corporate media holding Dems to an impossible standard while simultaneously holding the GQP to no standard. Trump said they exchanged love letters, but THE WASHINGTON POST fact checked the DNC and said love letters may not have been written by Trump. WTF.

i am starting to get suspicious of RFK Jr's true intentions

B+ grade for DNC Day 1. Some clunkers. But no huge gaffs. Not sure there is a bump to be gotten from the convention considering Harris' recent surge. But if next week she is holding steady +1 to +4, that's fine.

Riley broke his wrist, so Gio will start for them.

they could report on GQP's detailed policy plans in Project 2025, but they think, probably correctly, that a lot of Americans are more interested in gossip. saw a lot of tweets that Dems did not remove all of the references to Biden's 2nd term in their platform documents. I suppose that's a short story: sloppy work by the Dems. But that's a great opportunity because if they DID remove Biden's name, the story could be: Dems erase all traces of Biden, blah, blah, blah

NYT Headlines: Trump's racism did not work, so in a dramatic and, some say, even bold pivot, he is trying racism

the woman behind him almost starts laughing at him at one point

i just don't see how Malloy can be deployed in the outfield in Comerica; too big for him

GQP has nothing to offer anyone who is not weird.

Trump is going to force Swift to come out against the fraudulent GQP AI endorsement; and then she will endorse Harris; genius move guys!
