  1. We watched Sinners last weekend, my son had been bugging me all year to see it. I haven't thought about a movie this much in a very long time. So many layers to it. I've watched it again and might go see it in theaters this week with a friend as they re-released it. I don't know if it will win best picture but it's the movie from this year they'll still be talking about in 20 years.
  2. They want a fundamentalist evangelical theocracy. That means the presbyterians, the lutherans, the methodists, and yes the catholics will all be targeted because those aren't the right kind of Christians. They want Iran. These Christian Nationalists are no different than the extreme Islamic states who use their religion to squash women and dissent.
  3. That's exactly what this is. That's why they're sending back 5 year old kids who are here going through the process and are not criminals. Then they'll eventually get to US citizens. The goal is all the brown and black people. These ****ers are white supremacists and want a white country. Their voters and supporters are either racists too, extremely dumb, extremely naive, or extremely greedy to where none of that matters as long as their 401(K) grows. There's no justification or way around it.
  4. How brain dead and immoral to you have to be in order to still support republicans.
  5. Anne Frank was a fugitive from justice
  6. Morris is in the HOF because of game 7 in '91 where, if Lonnie Smith doesn't make a base running error, he probably loses the game... and he was fortunate to have been born in the right year where he was able to get most of his wins in the 1980's, instead of, say 1977-1986. That way "winningest pitcher of the 80's" can be said about him. I fully understand the reasons you laid out, that's been said numerous times by many people, and I'm saying that's bull**** and not a valid scorecard of who should be in the HOF. The voters aren't doing their job correctly by leaving Lou out when others are in.
  7. If Lou were somehow on the BBWAA ballot today he would get in. Seems like the voters now are getting better. He is a very fluke case and that's why its aggravating that the era committees aren't doing the right thing. His first year on the ballot was a crowded year and the voters have a limit of 10.
  8. Whitaker did win the GG and Silver Slugger 3 years in a row. His top 3 similar batters on BR are in the HOF, as are 6 of the 10. The HOF is what the voters make of it and if a guy is better than others that are in there, and more importantly are still getting in there, he should make it. There's no definitive standard. Lou has a better case than Tram did.
  9. Too busy playing victim.
  10. Can someone tell me how that makes our country safer and better?
  11. I saw a post on FB where Monroe County said they were not sharing salt with other communities due to shortages... I wonder if they were giving it to Wasthtenaw?
  12. anybody still supporting this guy has zero esteem or pride. It's indefensible.
  13. We’ve been doing that for 10 years now.
  14. There is really nothing that can be done until January 2027. JD Vance and Mike Johnson hold the keys to anything with the 25th and impeachment. All the screaming and venting doesn’t matter. He could stand at the WH podium in black face shouting the N word and then shoot a puppy. this is our world. Podcasts and the media folks and columnists are not capable anymore. Their power is gone.
  15. But the knuckle draggers will tell you “he doesn’t take a salary”
  16. I think that’s what I am getting. I’ve never heard of these peoole but each post has over 1K comments. I started submitting “not interested” reports.
  17. Imagine voting for that guy.
  18. Superfly! Ron O Neal.
  19. Not sure what happened but my FB feed the last 2 days has been a barrage of right wing pushes. Popular accounts so they aren’t new. But new to me. It’s very obvious something was triggered. I’ve never seen tbese before.
  20. If a variation of that word ever gets used around me I will confront then get violent if I don’t like the answer.
  21. I don’t think it’s threats or blackmail. They realized “ok, he’s not going anywhere. We need his voters”. Deep down they want him gone but the only ones who ever say it are those retiring. There’s always going to be ass kissing for the president. Any president. The tech bros and captains or industry support the peoole in charge. Regardless of policies. Part of it is ego and personal wealth and the other part is they are often in charge of companies that are public and employ thousands. They can’t let their personal politics interfere. Their responsibility is to shareholders and employees. Ethically and legally.
  22. Because he hates the right people. That enabled the loonies like Mike Johnson to tolerate it. If the evil lesbians and liberals can’t stand the guy then it’s all good. The other reason is people like Ted Cruz and Rubio and Graham can never admit they were wrong after they flipped once already to be pro trump. They would rather destroy the country than admit we were right about him. We have one more chance, if we are allowed to, to save this country in about 9 1/2 months.
