Reminds me of when Elissa Slotkin defended her focus on the economy to appease the red hats in her district by saying "someone" told her, "I can’t pay for my kid to go to summer camp with democracy."

I find it ironic that we are talking about playing the lottery in the Investing thread. It would be even more on the nose if we were talking about gambling.

Was he 10?

I never said he has every move planned out, either, so there’s nothing to disagree on, is there? He doesn’t need to have every move planned out. He’s not a details guy. But he has a mission to accomplish, which is to explicitly destroy democracy at the behest of his various creditors. So when he does something big picture and damaging, such as when he spouts Kremlin talking points, and people here say he’s stupid for doing it, that’s when I say, he’s not stupid because he’s knows exactly what’s he doing. It’s not on accident to the detriment of America. It’s on purpose to the detriment of America.

Joe Biden’s war through his weak failure of a Middle East policy derrrrp

It’s OK to be against what Padilla did. That’s a fair debate. But, all due respect, it’s just that when you misrepresent by exaggerating what Padilla actually did in an apparent attempt to strengthen your point, it looks histrionic instead, which makes it harder to take seriously.

You can’t prove that I make him out to be a genius, unless you believe were he to display any shred of purposefulness, that would qualify as genius. I don’t know why you seem to be so knocked out by the idea that Donald Trump might actually have a clue about what his mission is and how he might accomplish that. Do you think he’s some sort of randomly-behaving id baby incapable of forming a coherent thought or of understanding the effect his actions have?

Can you imagine Stone working with Dan Dickerson? Even I would be waylaid by the analytical overload.

We’ll need a starter and a back of the bullpen guy. I don’t see us going after a third baseman but maybe Scott’ll surprise us.

I am struck by this because I’ve met enough big leaguers to expect them all to be massive, and then you meet Zach McKinstry, and he’s normal size!

A scrappy Avila Tiger favorite.

Which network?

Lemonade: we won’t have to worry about him overthrowing to maintain a no-hitter.

I didn't seem Padilla shouting questions in that video. Did you see a different video of that? Can you share it?

By whom?

Clearly they need to do a better job of screening out non-psychopaths.

He's not that kind of idiot. He knows exactly what he's doing.

You must be talking about the elderly who are pushing 100, because Russia has been our enemy for going on 80 years now. Even 85-year olds remember ducking and covering and doing fallout shelter drills at school. I doubt a lot of them have love for Russia after that.

Yes, but there's more. He is actively working at changing the American people's thinking about Russia, Germany, Japan, and whose side we are on. He is seeking to completely disassociate from our traditional allies and align us with an axis that includes Russia and its satellites, Turkey, Hungary, India, and possibly Israel. This is a complete break from eighty years of a successful world order that won the Cold War and staved of World War III.

This, or else common street criminals who don't know thing one about politics.

Oh man, people are gonna die this weekend. This will be a page turner.

We've got no place to put TJ Friedl unless Parker's nerve issue pops up again. I could be talked into Madden and Bigbie for Pagan. The main thing I don't love is when Pagan gets hit, it goes a looooong way.

Benetti and Steve Stone were magic for the Sox. Too bad we don't have a Steve Stone here.

I could see that, although I don't think players would see AJ's sin as being the ringleader of a team that cheated its way to a World Series win—which he wasn't, and there's a solid evidence on record that he wasn't—but more that perhaps he was perceived as not supporting his guys and for trying to dodge responsibility for the thing and leave his players to take the blame. This, despite that he was banned from the game for a year for the thing, while every Astros player, meaning those for whom there was solid evidence they were involved or even ringleaders themselves, got off scot free.
