  1. Garbage meme but hilarious
  2. Probably because “Cincinnati” is so fun to write. Like “Mississippi” or “Walla Walla” or :”Kalamazoo”. Not that any of those places are particularly fun to visit, mind you. In fact, there must be some inverse correlation thing going on there …
  3. As aggravating as it was to lose that first game yesterday in the ninth, we still won the series. Now a big test in New York and Cincinnati.
  4. Lange came up big here to preserve the pen for the Yankees. 😎
  5. Pinch-runner Parker Meadows thrown out stealing to end the inning. Thanks, Hinch. 😏
  6. I think all of the above applies, with the probable exception of Democrats' admiration of Mike Johnson's integrity.
  7. Also, keeping Mike Johnson firmly in his seat gives Dems plenty to campaign on this coming Fall.
  8. As I was saying ...
  9. Don't you know that players win games but managers lose them? It's all over this forum, not sure how you could'of missed it
  10. Clearly you don't understand the strategery behind Whatabout. 😏
  11. I get what you mean, but they are going to do that regardless of what Trump says. I'm more concerned that he can neuter the issue just by keeping his mouth shut about it, what I know is almost impossible, but who knows, maybe he gets smart about it for once.
  12. I don't know what you're seeing on the actual site itself when you try this, but if it just fails without comment and goes back to the original state it was in before you started typing, this might be an Apple thing. On my Pad I occasionally get a situation where I spend several minutes on a post, and when I go to post it, it simply fails without explanation. I have since found I can back button to repopulate the box with what I'd written, which is nifty. Then I can copy and paste it into Notes, close and reopen the browser, re-post what I'd tried to before, and it usually works. Nothing like this ever happens on my Windows machine. 😎 There's another issue where, for some reason, one single word in your post will prevent the post from posting. When that happens, you get a dialog box saying something along the lines of the post you made is no longer there, or available, or something like that. When this happens, you have to repost your content one paragraph at a time until you figure out the offending word, at which point you just change the word and then it's fine. It's probably an Invision issue because that exact same thing happened on the old board as well.
  13. Probably this, but another thing might also be that they know MTG and her ilk will keep lipping off and creating chaos and keeping the issue in front of voters. Also, keeping Mike Johnson firmly in his seat gives Dems plenty to campaign on this coming Fall.
  14. Yeah, we laugh off the idea of an uprising that will install him as King, but it can also be horrible even if a few dozen motivated Three Percenters or whoever start shooting up public places here and there and killing a few hundred people just going about their business, in support of their Replacement Jesus.
  15. Yeah, what about DeSantis and Florida and Charlie Crist and the Golden Girls?
  16. Wait—are they domestic terrorists or glamping kids? Man, so hard to keep up ...
  17. Yes, but did students break into a building at Columbia to protest gun violence? We're missing the point obvs
  18. Israel is overreaching in Gaza in response to 10/7 no less than America overreached in the Middle East in response to 9/11. No one is arguing against Israel having a right to defend itself, or the US helping them with iron dome technology to protect their citizens. The debate is over Israel bombing cities to in order to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians indiscriminately and the US providing the weapons for them to do so.
  19. Why should I take what Amy Rosenthal has to say about what’s been happening on campuses and in K-12 schools at face value?
  20. Perhaps one reason for the protest is that the US is fully supporting and arming the country killing the civilians—yes, there are a lot of civilians being killed there—whereas in the case of Ukraine the US is actively arming the resistance against the aggressor, so there’s no need for the kids to protest the government’s and university's actions on that one. I also believe the vast majority of protesters are anti-bombing and anti-supporting the country doing the bombing only, and only a small sliver are actually anti-Semitic or pro-Hamas, and the latter is all anyone in the press wants to report on, because it’s sexy news. Some people might counter that anyone participating in any protest is automatically pro-Hamas. I would strongly disagree with such a counter. As to why it started spreading all of a sudden last week, I believe that was a reaction to police crackdowns on students at campuses all across the country, especially in Texas, where the governor said in practically so many words that he sent troops not because they’re being violent or anything like that, but because he doesn’t like what side of the issue they’re on and that these protesters belong in jail full stop. As for Roe, I seem to remember there were a lot of protests on campus for that one, unless you have info to the contrary? As for guns and school shootings, if US policy had changed and there were a sudden surge in school shootings from almost nothing to being everywhere as a result, I’d think they’d be protesting that en masse. Instead, mass shootings is more of a slow burn issue occurring over decades than an immediate fireball issue occurring across the space of months.
  21. Are you trying to post via iOS, i.e., your phone or pad?
  22. He thinks the act of being sentenced to jail is political gold for him, plus he assumes it will never even really happen, which would be the best of all worlds for him.
  23. Lemonade: It’s better when he says this out loud rather than faking being pro-choice.
  24. Assuming this story is on the level about its effectiveness, this is a great idea and hopefully all schools will be doing this soon. I can’t think of any real down sides to this. Read the story in a private window on your favorite browser.
