I'm pretty sure they don't see it that way at all. Probably the opposite: without a sheriff in town, that makes it much easier for the Trump people to game the market to enrich themselves by ripping off the remaining 99%, only this time it will be legal for them to do it instead of illegal. They can probably get away with that now, only after they deep six the deep state, they won't have to waste any of their money on stupid **** like Compliance.

Lost in the outrage: FBI and Securities Exchange Commission completely eliminated on this graph. And, of course, in the big $7 trillion scheme of things, they cost practically zero. That would put Leon and Vivek and their Trumpy criminal ilk in the clear for decades at least. That was always the real point of this whole exercise. Saving taxpayer money lol

Any play involving Willie Horton is aces in my book.

Sure, when he's not dropping easy fly ball.

Even over the Bombers?

I’m can see why the reaction to this would be a little more subdued. It was pretty much 98% Bates was gonna hit it. The really big play was the fourth and inches.

I don't think I would want to make the decision today to rely on either to be what we need two or three years from now, which is a key reason you want to sign a guy to a long-term deal in the first place.

I offended my brother during the game by mentioning toward the end that we were playing like the SOLs on defense. He retorted that the SOLs are dead, and of course he's right. They are dead. But I didn't say these were the SOLs. I said we were playing like the SOLs, by which I meant, a lot of second- and third-stringers—guys who would have been every game starters on the SOLs—on the field doing the best they could against a good team at better strength than they. Sure, those backup guys are being coached up by a better crew than the SOLs ever had. But they still were leaving openings all over the field for the Packers' offense and, as backups, they didn't quite have the speed or field vision to make up for it—just like the SOLs did. However, these are decidedly not the SOLs, because even though the defense was decimated and scrambling, the top-flight Goffense was there to pick them up, in a way the SOL offense could have not have. And that, to me, is exactly why the actual SOLs are dead.

He goes in the direction he thinks the wind is blowing.

Yeah, remember this guy? I miss this guy.

I’ve been repeatedly assured that Tulsi has nothing to do with Russia. Never heard of them, in fact.

He’s a RINO backslider, and she’s his emotional hostage. Mainline conservatives can say what they want about RINOs being on the side of good and all, but when it becomes clear that the curtain is descending on liberal democracy and the opposition still in office can no longer effectively challenge it, RINOS aren’t still siding with Democrats at that point. At best, they’re laying low and keeping their powder dry. More likely, they were never committed to the cause in the first place. I am not calling you a RINO, BTW. I view Never-Trumper conservatives as a bit of a different breed.

You look at ballpark factors for RHH over at Savant and even though it’s 98 overall, which reads as average, we still rank 22nd among all ballparks. And our RHH home run factor, which is what I assume income- and legacy-seeking sluggers care most about, is 88 which ranks 23rd. So, I agree, tough sell. I’ve been noodling the idea of moving the LF fences in five or ten feet. Left-handed pitchers we desperately want to extend wouldn’t love that, but how would that play to right-handed sluggers?

I’m not sure they’ll get that last one past the union.

No way Sacramento taxpayers could be made to foot any bills.

Stafford is by far the greatest quarterback in Lions’ history, and his Super Bowl wasn’t even with us. And Goff is already breathing down Bobby Layne’s neck.

This did.

These did not age well. 😉

Probably, but we don’t want to get him hurt.

I don't think the "looney left" is in the Democratic Party. I think they are beyond the Democratic party. I do think they will vote for Democrats from time to time, but they are no more reliable at the polls for all Democrats than Nazi sympathizers are for all Republicans.

I'm guessing some magical thinkers will be getting boners dreaming about our own Sodom and Gomorrah event here.

And that's why you can't treat the gallows as an empty threat.
