I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion about trading Maeda... Not that he would bring back a lot, but someone would take him if he's pitching like has this far in ST

What a ****show

God believes in metaphors

The French, British and many other NATO countries have died on our behalf in Afghanistan. Estonia in particular who was elevated in the early oughts saw many more deaths per capita than other NATO members, all because they wanted the protection that NATO offered given their next door neighborhood. There isn't a hell hot enough for this guy

I hate to interrupt our relitigation of the 2024 election... But what is the point of all this ****?

Biden (and Harris) were done in by inflation more than anything else. Maybe Biden 10-15 years younger could have better explained or campaigned despite it, but it was gonna be a tough road for any D in this environment

It's amazing how well stocked this administration is with Marie Antoinettes

Seriously...

I always knew that God was into metaphors

Also worth noting that a lot of non college educated white voters (including Ds) voted for Reagan back in 1980 and 1984. The 500+ EC vote landslide in 1984 happened for a reason after all

Also just think we need to be honest in that the GOP is also heavily motivated by identity politics as well. They may not get penalized or held to account to it as much, but they are. The speech last night is a good example... The account I read said that he spent a significant about of time going after transgendered athletes, yet could only carve out 30 second to talk about cost of living / price issues

Do the Murdoch's ever get embarrassed by unbelievably stupid and idiotic lies like this? (Rhetorical question)

Nope

Slotkin is getting heat from the left for the speech, but I also think it's a question of speaking to a broader electorate. I think she did well here

Christ, 5-4 ain't good enough

Does Lutnick realize how much leverage Canada has right now to just keep all of the retaliatory tariffs on even if we pull back on specific items?

I didn't either, I don't generally watch them though... I think Biden's last year was the first one I watched in years.

Is it really that shocking though?

I'm guessing that the speech was chicken**** mixed with shards of glass, and the panel on CNN will tell us it was the tastiest chicken salad ever concieved.

I think the folks who feel betrayed by the current iteration of the GOP (think someone like Walsh or much of The Bulwark or even The Dispatch) are much more clear-eyed about the moment we are in than a lot of the liberal punditry out there to be honest.
