  1. Too bad we don't have a WOW reaction face I could put on that!
  2. Harris is not going anywhere. You'll be gone from the Tigers before he will. So strap in and enjoy the ride!
  3. Definitely not the Catholic Church I was brought up in. Loving Hippie Jesus wept.
  4. I wish I could give you three likes for this one. The trolliest part of this whole thing was the demand out of nowhere on Sinclair stationery that Kimmel make a substantial personal donation to Charlie Kirk's despicable TPUSA organization. Sinclair has exactly zero direct ties to that outfit, so what the **** was in it for them to demand that?
  5. Pretty much the same percentage as for practically everything else. Death camps with glass walls built in toney suburbs would probably also get a 50-35 disapproval rating.
  6. Yeah, I don't think they're catching anyone by surprise with their baserunning anymore.
  7. So that means we're gonna sweep 'em, because baseball, right? 😁
  8. @Sports_Freak?
  9. Also not for nothing: this. All this right here. This is why the hard right, with Trump as its face, keeps doing all the terrible things they know will divide the country. They want people like us fighting with each other, instead of talking with each other, because people who focus on fighting can’t work together to make good things actually happen. People who are divided are easier to conquer. And the people at the top are there to make money off the entire thing. And we down here are the suckers. All of us. It’s working like a charm. How does that phrase go? “A house divided against itself cannot stand?” I think that applies here.
  10. And not for nothing, a lot of the lazier media outlets relying on content churners just out of college for keeping their websites filled aren’t regularly questioning it.
  11. Depending on which district it winds its way through and whether it lands in the laps of the highest handpicked court in the land.
  12. Especially if their business hopes and dreams lie in the hands of the regime.
  13. I believe they’re going to run a tribute the Charlie Kirk, which will certainly contain nothing of what he’s actually said on his show. And then they’ll just re-run it over and over to pwn libtards.
  14. Kimmel fix what? Fix his penchant for criticizing our brave and handsome president who has totally big hands? Is that what “first person” and “sources” are suggesting? Because that’s exactly how it reads to me.
  15. Remember how grief-stricken the president was the night of the Kirk shooting? Very touching.
  16. They don’t expect their viewers to think about it as deeply as you do.
  17. Some MAGA. Guy sounds like a Marxist to me.
  18. Seriously, ABC might keep Kimmel on contract simply to enjoin him from appearing on air anywhere else, just to keep him shut up at the behest of the regime who will give clearance to powerful affiliate groups to make deals to exceed the 39% ownership market cap by double and then some.
  19. You know what they say: the tree of liberty must occasionally be watered by the blood of schoolchildren. Or something like that. I don’t remember the exact quote but that might be the gist.
  20. Didn’t you hate the Montero pickup?
  21. No manager is going to intentionally walk a guy into scoring position in the late innings of a 1-1 game against a hot division rival. Come on.
  22. And Harris and Hinch will finally get fired, Dombrowski and Leyland get rehired, they’ll bring in Miggy as hitting coach and JV as pitching coach, they‘ll junk the rest of the useless coaching staff and all the analytics we’re losing with, they’ll sign Pete Alonso and Alex Bregman and Kyle Schwarber as free agents, trade for Bobby Witt Jr and Nick Kurtz and Paul Skenes and that Miserableski guy, exhume the remains of Mr. I to make it all happen, and everything will be back to normal.
  23. This is a complaint, not a pet peeve, but I guess this can go here. I bought a navigation app for my phone for our upcoming driving trip for $39.99. The total bill came in at $44.09, because my various local jurisdictions layered a cumulative 10.25% sales tax onto the purchase. I'm not one of those "all taxation is theft" guys. i understand the principle that the services governments provide to their citizens need to be funded by the people who benefit from it, so I don't begrudge the concept of taxation itself. The idea behind sales tax is to fund the infrastructure to provide legislation, regulation, enforcement, and protection to vendors and consumers for the purpose of assuring a safe, above-board, and well-structured marketplace. But if you think about it, that can really apply only if the sale takes place entirely within a jurisdiction, such as when you go to your local store and buy something. That's not what's happening here. The vendor is online and located god knows where, but it's not in any of my jurisdictions. And neither my state, county, nor city are providing any regulatory or other services to protect this transaction. If something goes upside-down with this transaction, I can't pursue any redress within my local jurisdictions, because the transaction is interstate and not local. And yet, they are all taking a cut of this sale, merely because my mailing address happen to reside within those jurisdictions. It is, essentially, a junk fee that pays for nothing. That, to me, truly constitutes theft.
