Mike Lawler again on CNN blaming democrats. "handful of members in our conference teamed up with democrats. Voters decided to have a republican house to be a check on this admin". Voters don't pick the entire house. They pick one of 435.

you are closer but that whole thing puzzles me. He doesn't seem like their kind of guy but snatch him up, so quickly that some suggest he had overtures with them and that's what led to him being fired. He does what they ask, delivers a winner, then they get rid of him for doing that. It's like fooling around with someone, divorcing your spouse for that person, marrying them, then divorcing them for being someone who fooled around. They knew what they were getting. They got it.

I see 15 for "others"..... I don't think that's going to get it done

"The election was stolen! They tricked us!"

I'm on the Phillie bandwagon. I've morphed into an anti-astros guy. Not because of the cheating or whatever. But they impressed me the way they marched into Arlington like they were up 2-0 instead of down 2-0.

It made me angry to see them so close like that.

Good luck.

Postseason counting stats are dumb. It’s always someone within the last 14 years now.

I took that at the HOF a few weeks ago. One of Johnny Bench’s GG awards. For a real laugh here’s Trammell’s WS MVP award. Looks like something from 1897

Either way two things can be discussed independently. What Hamas did last week was astrocious and horrible. They started this mess. Arabs/Muslims can cry all they want but when 2 days after these attacks they have rallies with dancing and singing.... not a good look. At all. Now you have all kinds of independent corrobaration on the hospital attack being self inflicted yet so many refuse to believe it and our own members of Congress continuing to propogate the lie.... honestly... shame on them. Their refusal to condem the attacks without adding some kind of qualifier is a disgrace.

Not since Walter and Saul left.

It might be a Michigan thing...? I looked it up. Started in Cleveland. Sanders in Detroit turned it up a few notches... a great lakes thing along with areas in AZ and FL.

Why do people think other orgs won't see the things about our players that we see about them?

Why is it never the Republicans fault for joining the dems and electing Jefferies? Why do the dems have to join the R's?

Mike Lawler once again on CNN blaming Democrats for helping to create this mess. He did it 3 times in his interview. I didn't know it was their job to make sure a republican stays speaker.

The US rep for the area, The mayor of the city of Dearborn, and the Chair of the Wayne County Commission (Sam Beydoun) are all spreading this lie on social media.

The mayor of my city put out a long diatribe about this. He used to be a member of the state house. He called out our state leaders yesterday for their silence over the Israeli bombing of the hospital. I so want to ask him if perhaps it was because they waited for further information? It's rich to call out others for not speaking up on something that you got wrong. I won't do it because my so works for the city and I don't want to mess anything up for him. People will just believe what they want now. Facts do not matter. There's a significant portion of our population that will go on thinking an Israeli bomb did this and there's no going back.

That’s where I am at. If tomorrow 3000 native Americans went into neighborhoods and started slaughtering white people would these lefties start saying “well you know we took their land and 500 years of oppression…”. Historical mistreatment is real and acknowledged but immediate slaughter and death is not justified.

Are there two gag orders? The one I know of from yesterday or whatever was about the documents case. he wants all of this because the more rulings against him then it gives him more things to appeal. Stall stall stall.

Yeah who can you believe? Would Israel admit it if it were theirs? How will we ever know? Neither side will believe the result of an investigation. My gut tells me it would be stupid of Israel to do this. You lose your goodwill and moral standing and it’s unnecessary. I think Hamas is ruthless enough to kill its own to generate outrage towards Israel. But I also know vengeance is a powerful force.

very nice

Why are the dems doing this?

I don't know where this is being discussed but today I see an airstrike on a hospital in Gaza and seeing multiple tweets saying it's Israel's bomb and others saying it's from Hamas... misinformation is king now and we've reached the consequences of a post Jan 6 fake news world. Nobody will believe anything that isn't on "their side" and no matter what footage or statements show minds will not be changed. Such a dangerious time now. I have no idea what the truth is because I can't study and research... twitter used to be of some use but now it's not reliable. Everyone is stuck in their bubbles. Not both sidesing this at all because it really is confusing to me. The extremes on both sides have it in for Israel, for different reasons I guess, and the middle who support Israel, as I tend to do, are probably guilty of the same. If Hamas did it, then it's business as usual for them. If Israel did it then they need to be more careful and just take the L if if the alternative means more civilian casualties. There's supposed to be rules of war. You can't take down an entire region, just like we couldn't and shouldn't have after 9/11, even though at the time I suggested just nuking the whole middle east and starting over. Emotions run high but cooler heads are required by those with actual decision making power.

are all of these no votes just for show and they'll turn into Yes after a few more ballots? I really have not been paying attention to this very much. Been busy with a trip to Cooperstown and half marathon training, running, recovery, etc. Just didn't care about it.
