Not surprising. We all knew this one was coming.

Hope you’re right. Hope it’s not something that will make us wish it was about the economy instead.

DEI is something more, maybe even something other, to Trump and the red hats than just specific examples of race-based employment directives. “DEI” is basically a way for them to drop n-bombs without being forced to explain themselves afterwards.

Race is an attribute of class.

Holy ****, what the **** does this guy have planned for America in September? I’ll take the over on 50/50 that it has nothing to do with the economy.

I don’t think I learned that until I was four.

It reminded me of seeing Dodgers-Diamondbacks at Sydney Cricket ground in 2014. This is a picture of us at our seats. You can see the post behind us obstructing the plate.

No, but I do think the Canadian words were sung louder than the American words, at least by the crowd.

Thank you. Exactly what I mean.

The Trump people were the ones who lit the fire on DEI, and then bull****ted the rest of us into believing the fire was already burning when they got there.

Or not … 😁

Holy ****, that strikeout of Vlad was impressive!

Solid first by the kid.

Max mowing down the side in the first. He’s not gonna let these scrubinis hit him.

I believe we have a Max sighting.

I like you as a person, Lee, I think you know this. All respect due to you and your substantial intellect, please keep that in mind here. You said essentially that Democrats lost the election because they constantly tell people that they are racist or misigonyst because they don't agree with every liberal idea about race and gender. And then, you acknowledged that the Democratic candidates themselves did not say this. That leaves only two options that I know of: (1) you believe it is actually the far left leftists whose statements along these lines cost the Democrats the election; or (2) you didn’t actually mean anything like this when you posted it. I’m not sure whether there is a third option, so maybe you can help me with that if there is. Unless what you’re really saying is that you are here only to vent, and as such you don’t make serious comments on the political forum, so we should not take what you say seriously and should not respond to it as such, which, I think you understand that’s not how this forum works. Sorry to be such a bulldog on this point—I’m kind of an Asperger‘s guy, so I’m hard-wired to be like that—but I’m generally very focused on trying to understand what people mean and trying to make sense of it. That’s where I’m actually coming from, not from a position of trying to hammer you and trip you up, although I acknowledge that they can look like the same thing a lot of times.

That works only if it’s a seller’s market.

Someone’s all in on Vegas.

The red hats you know will parrot this line. Don’t let them get away with it.

You just said a few hours ago that constantly telling people that they are racist or misigonyst because they don't agree with every liberal idea about race and gender is not a good way to win elections. That reads directly like it’s candidate committing this electoral crime, because who else could lose a candidate’s election with such talk than the candidate themself?

I don’t see how that cost them the election.

Not arguing against you either, but I could see Baseball and/or John Fisher going all in on physical betting structure at their new stadium. The one American sport with the worst betting scandal in history going all the way to the other extreme seems kind of on-brand for me with this leadership.

Maybe I wasn’t paying close enough attention, but I do not get the sense that Democratic candidates were constantly telling people that they are racist or misigonyst because they don't agree with every liberal idea about race and gender. In fact, I’m struggling to recall any examples of Harris doing so during her campaign.
