I think 99.99% of the general public agrees with you but the 25,000 adults in the US who don’t have an internet presence.

That too. And going further Nader voters in 2000. (And I was glad at the time they did it)

I really don’t get it. Unless they assumed it wasn’t necessary. He’d go away. If they knew now? In 6 months they could have gone back to hating Biden and doing the normak thing.

January 6 and the ensuing impeachment was a missed opportunity. That could have been it. Make Pence president for a few weeks. The republicans publicly purge Trump. And then they can fight with Biden as normal. It would have cost them nothing and today we’d probably have a president Haley or whoever. That was the moment for the GOP to change. It would have worked had they had the courage

He's happy because they made him stop playing at his rallies. That's probably why he wanted to go to Yankee Stadium.

There's two purposes now for political thought/philosphy. One is education and figuring things out. The other is monetizing it. Talk radio and later the internet showed you can get rich by being controversial. Who cares what you really believe. Get people watching you say it and you can make a good living. The rubes listening and watching think it's real. People like Kirk and Shapiro, the children of Rush and Hannity, laugh to the bank.

There was nothing thought provoking about his views. They were very pedestrian. Nothing that made you go "Well... ok I guess.... I don't agree but...." It was just simple "Gay is a sin" garbage.

As usual he's got nothing. Typical of MAGA asshats. They make up grievances.

How do we know Charlie didn't die of a Fentanyl overdose?

Hopefully they send the national guard to Utah. what is going up up there?

Can you show evidence of this claim?

I think it's his best speech. 63 years ago today.

I think the article's point to link this to the Tigers is a bit of a stretch. This is a corporate culture issue within the Ilitch Organization. These are people who could be doing jobs anywhere. It's not about the baseball team, even if their current role relates to that job at the time. It's not the late 90's Tigers on the team plane harassing flight attendants. Even the Maybin and Monroe things are throw ins. Maybin didn't do what he did because of what happens in offices across the street. The Monroe situation appears to have gone nowhere and the team took that as a chance to cut bait with a story they didn't want to be a part of. Again, that's not because Bob in Accounting made a comment about Jan's butt. I think any investigation into a large conglomerate in this country would show this taking place. It's not condoning it obviously but when shown a group of 1,000 men there's still pigs around and that's the case with Ilitch Holdings.

Charlie Kirk was a scumbag racist and sexist.

"If it wasn't for Trump, it would have been 2000 employees"

as a kid we went to some Tiger Wives vs Channel 4 softball game. That’s me in the lower left after getting Marty’s autograph. I also had photos or Rupper Jones, Petry, and Lance from a distance.

My wife wants to see it. Some purists are bitching because they used AI to enhance some scenes to make them wider. For example if the uncle walks into a scene then they widen so that you see him sitting there. It’s harmless. This isn’t Art. Everybody has seen it a million times so this is just a twist.

of this? Yes. Capable. Not probably. I'm not ready to go there yet but a non secret service protectee? sure that's doable from people with expertise in things like this. Is it doable morally? Absolutely. These people have no morals. They think they're going to heaven anyway. I don't buy the conspiracy on the Trump attempt because it is JFK like in the required web of people and agencies to pull it off.

nothing to offer except congrats on the new job. I remember your post about when you lost your job.

I went to a concert at Pine Knob yesterday which meant I was occupied with getting ready and driving out there, etc. No time to really digest this. But my brief scrolling showed me lots of empathy and concern for someone who didn't do the same for others. He wasn't a nice person to people he disagreed with and in this situation those same people were nice to him and his family. I reject that in today's world "both sides are the same"

not a good look for the Ilitch company. Disappointed in Maybin.

I have an agreement with 7 big Italian dudes who will wear nice suits and pinkie rings to show up at my funeral. I also gave them envelopes of cash to give to my wife and kids with instructions to say "this was his take this week... we never got a chance to kick it up to him. He was a good boss."

Tonight we want KC to win because Cleveland’s elimination number would drop to 10 with a loss.

that is when I became aware of and started reading Mitch Albom. He wrote a column about it. Then I discovered writers could be cool. That was before the mustard.

Jerry Cantrell is here tomorrow. I’m already going to see Tedeschi Trucks on Wednesday and Bonnie Raitt and Jimmy Vaughan Saturday. Does the old man have it in him to go tomorrow?
