HAPPY OPENING DAY!

I was going to post something along these lines today, but I wanted to find some parallels between him and what the Bible says the Antichrist was, and I ran out of gas quickly on it, so I bailed. Glad someone bigger than me got there first. Now that I think of it, the 2 Corinthians post was pretty close to that.

That's not the part I found not believable.

Thanks for weighing in, Professor Buzzkill.

I'm pretty sure someone here posted an article about that, or maybe at the old site.

That doesn't sound like the kind of guy who could be stopped from having rallies.

Now Joe is free to run for Vice President of Heaven on John McCain's ticket.

So someone is telling Trump not to do rallies because he looks senile when he does, and Trump is agreeing to that? Trump is letting someone else call the shots for him? I don't know, that doesn't sound right to me.

You are routinely conflating "leftists" with being 100% death-to-Israel, or at least as not being as performatively pro-Israel as you are being. I assume you regard me as a "leftist", seeing how that's a pejorative to you. Anyhow, bad analogy. MAGA is not nobody. MAGA is Donald Trump and tens of millions of followers, many of whom are well-known to be armed to the teeth and itching for a fight. I have no idea who the **** these people in the prior page are, but when I start seeing them and others like them perpetrate murder in the name of Free Palenstine—or whatever it's called—here on American soil, then I will consider lighting my own hair on fire in solidarity with yours.

They're children. Maybe a third of them are serious about the issue itself, maybe; another third are doing it so they can get laid by someone else in the group; and the remaining third will end up voting for Barron Trump in 2052.

I don't know who that is, either, because he's almost certainly a bigger nobody than the other guy whose name I've already forgotten. Neither of them speak for me so as a liberal, I don't appreciate being mindlessly lumped in with either of them, as though either were speaking on behalf of me.

And when Trump violates the gag order, the judge will give him a good tut-tutting by wagging an index finger back and forth a couple of times.

What the **** is Graham Starr and why the **** should we care what he thinks about any of this? I refuse to believe he speaks for all liberals here.

It's one of my favorite books, too. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 - “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.”

I love that the season is starting, and especially this season, when there is so much more hope for the sustainable future of this franchise than at any other time in my lifetime. I don't love that the season is starting on a Thursday. I believe baseball season should start on a Monday and end on a Sunday. That Monday should be a practical national holiday. They can make it happen by adding three off days to the season, which the players should like and the fans wouldn't mind so much. This year, they could have started it on April 1, and ended it on October 6. I love least of all that Opening Day is on Sweet Sixteen Thursday, and that the sports world will be focused on basketball instead of baseball. Again, Opening Day should be basically a national holiday, but at the very least, baseball should have the whole day to itself. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, Manfred.

Yes, although there is some overlap in the idea, my map is about only the most common names for counties, not every county name that is duplicated across the states. Basically, it's any county name that's in ten or more states.

Do people still believe voters are going to willingly and in great numbers power Trump and The Party to an electoral sweep? Seven-plus months out and already we are seeing strong evidence that a nation previously thought too apathetic and self-absorbed to care what happens to it is starting to wise up. I think there are only two ways Trump can take power at this point: He changes his messaging dramatically for the last seven months to appear as a normal politician, leading everyone to fall prey to collective amnesia about him in the interim. Violent overthrow of the electoral system and along with it the country, by the MAGA minority. Which do you think is more likely?

You misspelled “when”.

People are beginning to pay attention …

All we need are nine of him and we’ll be all set!

Home run hitters drive Cadillacs. Doubles hitters drive Fords.

Nick Castellanos famously hated hitting in Comerica because he couldn't jack bombs as reliably there.
