Why pay any price for seditious behavior that’s been completely normalized?

I think the thing that might be confusing some people here, assuming they honestly believe that Trump is nothing but a benign businessman, is the idea of Trump wanting to overthrow democracy and become more or less a dictator. That can’t possibly be true, they might be reasoning, because Trump is not a politician. He’s a businessman who happens to be practicing politics. He has no real inclination nor acumen to be a political animal in Washington. His motivations are business-oriented, not politically-oriented, so his intentions pure and clean. Therefore, he can’t be trying to overthrow democracy, because that’s a political goal sought only by politicians, not businessmen. The thing is, Trump doesn’t have to be a political animal to want to overthrow democracy. He doesn’t have to have a grounding in political theory, or to talk the talk of the political “swamp”, to seek democracy’s demise. All he needs is the desire to take the decision of who becomes the leader of the USA out of the hands of the voters and into his own. That’s what Trump has be wanting to happen, and what he has been clearing the way for his minions at various levels to accomplish on his behalf. I would agree that Trump is not interested in the political theory behind any of it. To him, it’s all business. As far as he’s concerned, government’s only goal is to strip him of as much of his power to conduct business in whatever manner he sees fit as they can manage to; therefore, Trump’s opposing goal is to basically change the very structure of government by getting rid of the one that’s out to get him, and replacing it with a government cast in his own image, one that gets out of his own business’s way, and bonus, one he can also use as a tool to personally punish his enemies. Trump doesn’t have to be considered a Washington politician to seek all this and then act on it. All he needs is a cabal of enablers to make it all happen, and for the good people who oppose him, and who trust the system itself to automatically stop him, to stand aside and let him get away with it.

Here’s a reminder that Tucker Carlson really said this thing.

J. D. Vance must be an idiot to not understand that Trump is nothing more than a whiny bitch.

I just feel like the longer it goes without any news, the worse the news is going to be when we do hear it. I hope my feeling is wrong.

It's been almost 48 hours since Matt Manning came out of the game Saturday and we have not heard boo on next steps. Is that good news or bad news? I guess we'll find out soon enough ...

Uhhhh ...

True ... if God already has everything all planned out, what's the point of trying, or pretending to make any choices? After all, it's already planned out. Q.E.D. The omniscient, omnipotent God theology is also what makes praying pointless. Literally everything is already worked out in advance because God's plan. What makes you think God's going to change His whole plan just because you prayed to bowl a turkey in the tenth frame?

"Stupid libtards, you and your idiotic TDS, Trump is just a big nothing, I don't even like him ..." After Trump 47 leads the destruction of American democracy ... "Oops, I guess I was wrong about Trump ... soz!"

Sure, I’ll root for this.

That was, in fact, his intent: lose the election so he could start a media empire rooted in the grievance of having an election “stolen”. Then the dog caught the car and wasn’t sure what to do with it. Well he sure figured it out in a hurry.

Oh good lord I’m starting to think we are fated to declare shooting war on Russia. Good thing Ukraine is softening them up. But good god, the price …

They might be able to CGI them to look younger and slightly alter their voices up a key to sound younger. As long as they don’t have to get physical, like Scorsese thought De Niro’s character had to, they should be fine.

I’ve been using the same plastic Gillette Sensor razor for what’s gotta be like 20 years now. I’ll keep using it until I lose it, or else they stop making Sensor Excel replacement blades.

If Stathead is to be believed, this is the second fastest game of the year at 2:18. That was nice.

Also a bit of luck. Offense was flat except for TORK!, and we got 5-star plays on two straight outs.

Just think, it could have been first and third and one out after Dozier, were it not for a DH in left and an erstwhile first baseman at second.

He fooled Hunter Dozier!

My god, what an exhilarating ninth inning. This is the kind of ninth inning playoff teams have.

OH MY GOD SCHOOP!! WHAT THE!

WHO SAID MEADOWS IS A DH!! 😅

Single notwithstanding, this is arguably the best Joe Jimenez inning we have ever seen.

Joey J just told Bobby Witt Jr, “Welcome to the big leagues, kid.”

Well, it’s not like we didn’t know what we were getting.
