The guy definitely needs a friendlier Suprema Corte down there.

If they do, it'll be Elon kicking Trump to the curb, since Trump looks up to people more wealthy than he.

Yeah, that's true, but not what my post meant.

Better yet, recommend marrying them off to get them out of the workforce.

Fun fact: the antiwar president-elect ordered seven bombings of other countries during this tenure.

Anyone else putting a dime on Putin announcing a ceasefire right on January 20th, a la Iran 1981?

I went to Bluesky because I got sick of blocking political firebreathers showing up on my baseball feed, and that includes people who use their baseball cred to slip in political commentary, and I don’t mean Baseball Crank.

What I’m trying to put across is Trump putting cronies and lackeys in jobs of running departments they have zero knowledge or understanding of. Without anything as inconvenient as experience getting in the way, Trump can direct them to do the worst things possible that will lead to perdition, and the cronies and lackeys will have neither the expertise nor the inclination to reject such directives. As for J.D.: if he shaves the beard, he risks looking like the poster boy for incels.

Lack of experience is the big feature here, not just at the VP level but also at the cabinet and departmental levels. It will substantially reduce pushback on harebrained executive directives, due to the inconvenient application of technical expertise. With that removed, it’s full steam ahead on moving fast and breaking things.

Not so easy to install AI surveillance at employees’ homes. Wait until the ladies go to the bathrooms …

For the moment …

Big companies probably aren’t going to monitor you for dissent, at least not until they’re contracted by the government.

Yeah, this is mos def gonna happen. But hey, at least eggs will be a half a buck or so cheaper.

Why do you hate free speech?

FYI, you'll still see him when other people reply to him.

I just believe if the award were based strictly on field management ability, versus front office management ability like roster construction, Hinch should have won it handily. OMMV.

I wasn't contemplating that part of it. Only the part where, other things being equal, Vogt and Quatraro deserve MoY over Hinch. They don't, because they didn't have to manage as meticulously as Hinch to win. All that said, since humans with memories were involved in the voting, I would imagine any number of non-performance factors could have influenced his loss, including his past with the Astros, or his being a smarty-pants Stanford boy instead of a salt-of-the-earth Azusa Pacific or Old Dominion boy.

Good thing baseball doesn't exist in a lab. I don't know enough about football to hazard a guess on that one. 😏 I'm still going to refer to 27 up 27 down as a perfect game, even if multiple pitchers take part in one.

Well, TBF, he didn't say, "I checked the FEC filings." He told you to check the FEC filings. Difference. Which, I'm glad you did for our benefit, because now i know and don't have to check it myself. But yeah, he has no interest in the FEC filings, and he never will. And the moral of the post is: eliminate your expectations.

If y ... Naaaaah ... never mind. Carry on.

I don't think anyone will ever bail on Trump. He's not called "Orange Jesus" simply because of his bronzing routine. Once **** starts going upside down, everyone around him will get the blame, but not he. Never he.

Flurry of what-ifs and whatabouts notwithstanding, my conclusion is that a perfect game as applied to a baseball pitcher makes a hell of a lot more sense than a perfect game as applied to a football quarterback.

Worms have little if anything to do with intelligence. Some of the smartest people I know got the worm.

And by the time the economic trouble calcifies into permanence, red hats will have forgotten all about it and will have moved on to some new cultural outrage.
