  1. And he has not already been doing all of this how, exactly?
  2. Anyone gives you that line of sht that they're giving up a good income in the private sector in order to do the God's work for the public by going into government, just remember that they actually live high on the hog on the public dime, like this.
  3. I agree with your comment as presented, but I'm also going to go out on a limb here and assert that the radical fascist right wing of the political spectrum represents the basic platforms of today's Republican party, and in far greater numbers, than those on the radical anarchist left wing of the spectrum represent corporatized Democratic Party, few if any of whom would even cop to being of the party. Maybe, like, 10:1.
  4. Well, gee, I wasn't even rightish on this one, was I! 😜
  5. Ooooh, high bar for me ... any way you can lower that just a smidge?
  6. As are you! 👍🏽
  7. I had thought the dugout could call pitches via PitchCom as well.
  8. I see no evidence that he was active in the Democratic Party. Just because he's anti-Trump or even anti-Republican does not make him a Democrat. There are other alternatives, after all. Bernie Sanders is one of those alternatives. The gratuity of the shot is not against the the shooter—because who gives a fck about him—but against the Democratic Party and Democrats, since the congressman was suggesting that the shooter was acting on behalf of the party by calling him a "Democrat terrorist". He basically says the Democratic Party harbors or even employs terrorists. To which, by the way, I might reply, "Projection Junction, what's your function ..."
  9. Well, the congressmen did refer to him as a "Democrat terrorist", suggesting he is operating on behalf of the Democratic Party. Unless you're suggesting it was he taking a bit of a jump?
  10. Was the shooter a Democratic Party operative? I never heard that. The only connection to Democrat that I could find for the guy was that his hometown newspaper was the Belleville News-Democrat.
  11. It's not often I am called "right" here, and I'm not sure I have ever been accused of being honorable. 😉😅
  12. They have to figure out what their marching orders are here, since they just assumed there was no other possible outcome except Democrats taking their bait, voting against the CR, voting for McCarthy, and taking the blame for everything.
  13. Is it guaranteed to be limited to that, and not able to be used by a person with no official duty to perform who might be situated outside the field of play? I don't know either way, but it strikes me as possible until I hear why it's not.
  14. OK, so, how is it OK for teams to use technology so someone perhaps not on the field of play can relay instructions to players, but it is not OK to use technology so someone not on the field of play can steal signs from center field and relay instructions to players?
  15. The night Obama won in 2008 he had a victory rally in Grant Park and I rode my bike down there at 10 at night because it was well over 70 degrees. We don’t get that on March 20-whatever.
  16. It’s no worse than starting the season in several cold locales on March 20-whatever.
  17. Willi make it? Betti don’t.
  18. I agree if Cronenworth is done done, then it’s unfavorable. If he projects to even 1.5 average WAR for the rest of the contract, that’s probably about breakeven for a playoff contender. Won’t be our problem either way.
  19. Who knows? There are no guarantees in baseball, either way.
  20. If the gamble is that Cronenworth bounces back, which I agree is probably a good gamble, then he’s not a “1 WAR player”. Not that it matters to the Tigers because I don’t want him on the team anyway, and I think I’m gonna get my wish on that.
  21. Maybe he’s a 1 WAR player this year in the same way Candelario was a 0.6 WAR player last year.
  22. That’s because people have lower expectations of the Republicans than they do of the Democrats. It’s like when your bad kid talks your good kid into something like setting a fire in your garbage can and you catch them red-handed. Your bad kid is just doing what you already knew he would, so you roll your eyes and throw up your hands because you don’t know what you can do with him. But you’re mad at hell at the good kid because damn it, he knows better, so you’re going to punish him for it because you know he’s gonna get the message and straighten up and fly right.
  23. I also don’t believe the Padres are going to dump Cronenworth to save money. His is actually a favorable contract, considering what they think they can get out of him.
  24. I don’t know what kind of development can be had in that area, really. It’s largely an established residential area with a smattering of bar and self storage facilities and fitness centers and the like. It would be a little like putting a new stadium for the Tigers at 8 Mile and Schoenherr. You can fit a stadium there, but there’s otherwise not a lot of there there.
