MAGAs don’t think bombing Mexico is radical. They think it’s rad. I do think they’d get more than 200 votes to authorize, but i don’t think they’d get 218+ votes. That’s why Trump will give an order direct to the military and dare Congress to do anything about it.

Rolling Stone has been well known for decades to engage in terrific journalism. They sure beat the hell out of "End Wokeness", whatever the **** that is.

Looks to me like it was doctored to make her sound drunk. Easy to do by slowing it down by x%.

Dear lord, please let this be true ... Not because I am a huge MSNBC slappy—I almost never watch it—but I can't stomach the thought of this guy buying every major non-MAGA media vehicle in the country and turning them into Joe Rogan shock jock outlets, or whatever. I acknowledge that fascism-curious red hats would love for that to happen, but for the rest of us, please be reminded that's how the Nazi Germanies and the Soviet Unions of the world started out: they shut down media dissent first thing. After that, they rounded up the all the political opponents for political reasons and nobody heard a thing about that.

How come when I read things like this, I can't help but think of Kristellnacht? 1 big thing: Bomb threats target Trump officials Rep. Elise Stefanik. Photo: Alex Brandon/AP Several senior officials in the incoming Trump administration were targeted by false bomb threats this week, the transition announced. "Last night and this morning, several of President Trump's Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them," transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, the incoming White House press secretary, said in a statement. The attacks included both threats and attempted "swatting," in which someone calls in a fake emergency at someone else's home, with the intent to provoke a large police presence. 🚔 Targeted officials include Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Trump's nominee for ambassador to the UN, and former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), his pick to lead the EPA, Axios' Andrew Solender reports. A family member of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Trump's now-withdrawn first choice for attorney general, was targeted, law enforcement said. Go deeper.

I agree with everything you say, and in my view it's even worse than that: I believe it's a basic hypocrisy for someone to say they are pro-life when in fact they will accept the abortion of healthy babies—babies who could be birthed, cared for, raised, and live good full lives just as much as any other healthy baby—based only on their circumstances of conception. A person who is truly, honestly pro-life would advocate for the protection of those babies, too. But so many who say they are pro-life do not advocate for them. Why not?

I don’t know what the confusion is here. If you find a rape-incest exception to allow the abortion of healthy babies to be acceptable, you’re not pro-life. Simple as that.

You can hide from the issue all you like, but here’s the bottom line: the only legitimate position with integrity a pro-life person can have is no abortion for rape, no abortion for incest, period, no exceptions. Because if it’s really about protecting the life of babies, as the pro-life position repeatedly claims, there’s no other position you can have and not be hypocritical about it. If you support the killing of a perfectly healthy baby because it was conceived under certain circumstances, but forbid the abortion if it was conceived under other circumstances, then you are not pro-life. You are anti-women having a choice.

I know, wasn’t it the best? This might actually be the earliest film talking about Baseball in terms of the proper way to play it, using major leaguers as examples.

Supporting your state laws means you do support allowing abortion in cases of rape or incest. Since you support abortion for women and girls in cases of rape or incest, that means your concern really isn’t about the life of the child, is it? Because if it were, you would recognize that a perfectly healthy life conceived by rape or incest is just as much a life made by God as a life conceived by a man and his wife in their marriage bed. If you have different standards for when a woman should be allowed to obtain an abortion—no way if she consented to sex, yes it’s fine if she did not consent—that would explicitly mean your concern is primarily about how the woman engaged in sex and conceived the baby in the first place, and not as much about whether the fetus is a life worthy of protecting, even if perfectly healthy. Is this truly your position?

Do you support allowing abortion in cases of rape or incest?

Here is an amazing 30-minute film from 1934 called, “Play Ball“, which features some of the greatest players in of the time, including Mel Harder, Tommy Bridges, Schoolboy Rowe, Ted Lyons, Lefty Grove, the Ferrell brothers, Charlie Gehringer, Al Simmons, Jimmy Dykes, Rogers Hornsby, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Hank Greenberg, Babe Ruth, Joe Sewell, Sam Rice, Earl Averill, Connie Mack, Mickey Cochrane, Frankie Frisch, and Dizzy Dean: The last three minutes includes footage from Games 2 and 6 of the 1934 Series being played in Detroit. Some of the more amazing things you will see are the various pitching and batting motions the players exhibited 90 years ago. With only a few exceptions, none of them like anything like the players of today. Another notable thing that the film is underwritten by Fisher Body.

The criming is so deep with this bunch that my brain didn’t even bother to remember this part of it.

I'm getting a bit of support on this one here, which I guess is my consolation prize: https://www.mlb.com/news/teams-that-could-sign-roki-sasaki?lctg=4019258656&partnerId=it-20241126-11828221-mlb-1-A AL Central: Tigers Detroit just reached the postseason for the first time in a decade with one of the youngest rosters in the Majors. With the Tigers' competitive window just now opening, they can’t rest on that success. Now is the time to attack in free agency. It sounds as if president of baseball operations Scott Harris is ready to be aggressive this winter, and what better way to signal that you mean business than by landing one of the most talented young pitchers available? Pairing Sasaki with reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal might give Detroit the best righty-lefty combination of any rotation. Add in Jackson Jobe, who debuted in September and is the No. 5 prospect in MLB, and suddenly the Tigers have what could be a dominant trio leading their staff for many years to come -- assuming they extend their decorated ace. Is Sasaki the right fit for a roster that has one pitcher in his 30s (Sasaki’s fellow countryman, Kenta Maeda)? Of course! Sasaki's immense talent fits any roster, but in Detroit, he would join a team on the rise, band together with the best pitcher in the AL and accelerate the Tigers’ trek to the top of their division. -- Brian Murphy

I guess he wasn't paying enough tribute to the boss.

I think this franchise ends up going to Nashville, then baseball holds Tampa for an expansion or relocation target. Nashville officials are feigning reluctance, but they’ll cave once they find a route to plow public money into the project in a way that makes them looks like heroes for bringing MLB into the city. Then, once a friendly commission in either Hillsborough or Pinellas counties gets back in power, some bazillionaire will get their 100% publicly-financed stadium and the Bay will get a team back. This assumes, of course, that publicly-funded stadia is still a thing, which, as long as there are craven commissioners to sell out and then cash out, there will always be taxpayer money to throw around.

And on a 3-2 count!

lol mets

Kind of wild how Memphis, TN is 37501 and West Memphis, Arkansas is 72301.

Of course, there could be another motive behind the tariffs: Trump is looking for direct payoffs from these countries. Can’t happen? Why not?

Which is why it is unthinkable. It may not be unthinkable in four to eight years after Trump tariffs have completely wiped out not only what’s left of the middle class, but large swaths of the lower middle class.

I think he came by his Republican decision more honestly: he understood they already think like him.

You must be talking to someone else, because I don't have him or anyone else on any hook. However, I will say your hypothetical assumes that Obama is the same vain, insecure, criminal character that Trump is, and he can't be, because if Obama were, he would be literally an entirely different person with a different background, outlook, temperament and support structure. This is why the question, respectfully, makes no sense. Someone of Obama's character would never have engaged in something so base and crass as Trump and his craven post-2020 election nonsense. Had you used Bill Clinton in 1996 as your example, you might have come closer to the mark you were aiming for, but then, you couldn't have made your point as effectively as you could have with Obama, that is, were it not such an absurd impossibility.

He died before he could see his man crush retake the White House. Shame, that.

This is similar to the hypothetical that is sometimes asked: how would Babe Ruth do in the major leagues today were be born in 1995 and had access to all the nutritional, training, and coaching advantages players today have? And the answer is, of course, that's also a non sequitur, because if such a person were born today, he would not be Babe Ruth. He would be someone else.
