Here’s the thing I want to share. I had hoped it would embed in the post as an Instagram post, but it did not in tests, so here a screenshot and a link you can click through to hear the whole thing. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQPIhblgYoU/?igsh=aG95b25iMmgycXNo

I came across something that I had to share here, but it doesn’t fit comfortably into any of the existing threads. It’s not about the Trump Presidency per se, although it’s certainly related (as is just about everything now). It’s not about Aisle Lunatic. It’s not about Media Melting Down, or Doing the Needful, or Congress or SCOTUS or Gun Legislation or anything as specific as those topics. And it’s not Politics Schmalitics in general, because some items simply transcend mundane differences of opinion. Really, it’s about something bigger, meaning the bigger picture. It’s about pushing back on the whole thing. The rhetoric, the ideas, the philosophy—that whole movement. It’s about resistance. So maybe that’s what we need a thread about, as a catch-all for the things that come up that aren’t about just positioning one side or the other to win elections in even-numbered years. That’s politics. This is something bigger. This is the Resistance Thread. Yes, I know it seems one-sided, but the other side is certainly free to start a “We ❤️ Trump!” thread if they want. And besides, they can also use this thread if the Democratic Party survives and ever takes power in Washington again.

What makes this reply low-key brilliant is everyone knows you’re talking about Trump but Trumpaholic thinks you’re talking about me.

I mean, come on, is this seriously the **** Bunker and Trumpaholic voted for? Using the machinery of government to alter foreign and economic policy just because the guy is butthurt over a ****ing ad that means jack**** to the security of this country? How exactly the **** is this making America great?

I don't how "defund the police", as though that were even a real thing, qualifies as socialism, since the whole idea contemplates spending less government money, not more. In any event, everyone knows that Trump is the real socialist.

Agreed. My hope for any series in which I have no skin in the game is that it goes seven games and the tying run comes to the plate in the ninth inning of Game 7. In this case, I feel a little skin in the game as I am actively rooting for the Blue Jays—or, more exactly, against the Dodgers.

The 1972 White Sox had what was essentially a three-man rotation. Wilbur, Stan Bahnsen, and Tom Bradley started 130 of 162 games between them. That’s 80% of their games. That’s gotta be some sort of record, at least since World War I.

That or Scotland!

lol someone updated his Wikipedia page already

Following up on this: I am convinced that Trump is trying to set up for our national anthem to be booed by Canadians so he can market that to the red hats. “See? Just like the criminal Democrats and all the people who voted for them, Canada hates you and wants you dead.“ I would be surprised if that happened. Very, very surprised. I think the Canadian audience is going to cordially applaud for the American anthem, and then go absolutely nuts for their own anthem.

I am definitely not suggesting Harris would trade Thayron for a bag of balls. That would be asinine. I also don’t believe his value caved after his soft performance late in the season. He is still a top 100 prospect and if he is not valued in trade as such, you don’t trade him. That simple.
