You know who else had five rings for the Yankees? Joe Collins. Apparently you can deny five World Series rings.

This tells you everything you need to know about ESPN, in placing Jeter some sixty slots above his true level: "Overrated or not, you can't deny the five World Series rings." You don't say.

ESPN leaks.

Have the russophile right wing media like Fox and their fellow travelers alarmed their viewers with visions of nuclear retaliation if we don't give Putin what he wants?

If Jeter is not listed yet, then he’s either too high or too low. He ranks 94th in lifetime WAR and tied for 79th in JAWS, so he qualifies for the Top 50 in neither career nor peak. The higher they list him, the more credibility ESPN leaks.

I just meant you’re the guy with more inside dope than all the rest of us combined, is all. You know actual stuff. As President of the United States, if you can’t win them over by force of personality, win them over by force.I would think in a situation like this she could rely on the former more than the latter. There’s no way to know for sure, of course, but I’m thinking her success level right now would have been at least the equal of Biden’s. Can you imagine having the other guy in the White House at this moment? Holy shit, the mind boggles.

Not to seem dismissive of your authority on the subject, but I had seen in multiple sources that Putin did not want Hillary to be President specifically because she was such a tough-minded adversary at State, and that she had the ear of all the major European allies. I believe one of the places I’d seen that was in one of the first books released early during the Trump admin. Not true?

We will not stand for the normalizing of Rudy Giuliani.

I think Hillary would have responded in similar fashion, with the same or even better cooperation from allies. Given her tenure at State, this kind of situation seems right up her alley.

Maybe Putin is believing his own press that says Biden is weak and is making America a laughingstock. If so, catching him flat-footed on that is working for us here.

The irony … it burns … So, like, wasn’t the whole idea behind crypto to free money from the yoke of oppressive government stewardship and the tyranny of their stabilizing influence on fiat currency?

lol this is going in the opposite direction of what I was saying so I don't know why you'd think I'd like this.

Too convoluted. I would prefer direct election of presidents.

Had no idea. Will take that under consideration on future posts.

"Uninformed voter"is code for "people who vote for the other guy."

As opposed to the current system in which California, Texas, Florida, and New York can STFU and accept the president Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Wyoming, both Dakotas, Rhode Island, Delaware, Kansas, Montana, Idaho, Maine, and West Virginia elect for them?

This is why I wrote in Michelle Obama in the last two elections. Even though I bet she's make a fine president, of course she could never win, because the state is already inthe bag for the Democratic candidate anyway, so why does it matter. Certain people here like to criticize me for doing this and say I should vote D anyway to run up the national score, or whatever. But what good is that when one candidate can win the national vote by millions but still lose the election to the guy who got the second-most votes anyway? It's borderline pointless. In the end, every vote an Illinoisian casts for president is completely thrown out, then a delegation of 20 people go to Washington and cast 100% of their votes for whoever the D candidate is. How does this qualify as democracy in action?

That would be the traditional outcome.

This is the thing that gets lost or ignored in the debate when EC proponents say if we had a national popular vote, candidates would campaign only in New York and California. First of all, not true. Second of all, we've already reduced presidential campaigning to occurring only in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin, right now, so how would that even be different?

They would if we still had profitable regional slavery.

I guess we'll see whether the courts agree with you.

I have had DirecTV since 1999 and I am loathe to give it up. I also have an Apple TV unit and do have access to all the major streamers. (🤫 Don't ask how). Every once in a while my wife and I will discuss cutting the cord, but then we will experience pixeling or blurring or buffering and have to reset the Apple TV unit, which reminds us that even with AT&T gig speed Internet, perfect rendering of streaming picture is not certain or assured. Satellite TV service is expensive, but I generally call in once a year and negotiate discounts that knocks $60 or $70 or $80 a month off the price, depending on what number I call, who I get on the phone, and what the prevailing offer is. It's still close to $100 because we have a top tier package with HBO/SHO, but it's convenient and the picture quality is first rate over 99% of the time.

🙋🏼‍♂️ Ooh ooh, I think I might know this one: The guy with 11 loaves?

Apparently Flores is so fed up that he doesn't believe that under the current system he has any chance to be an effective coach, with as much support and leeway for mistakes, as a white coach would have a chance to. He'd rather try to change the system and maybe not coach anymore, versus trying to shapeshift himself to accommodate the system and maybe not coach anymore. His story sounds kind of familiar ...

Go Commies!
