How exactly will the Bank of America Chicago Marathon go with this idea Chicago is burning?

Why is there this enabling to Chicago needing troops?

And @peternickeas.bsky.social with the very strong baseball take/observation

:)

“Who own the Chiefs?”… “Owns!”

That song *is* hockey

a couple of hockey players are sitting on a bench with sticks in their hands and one of them is covering his face . ALT: a couple of hockey players are sitting on a bench with sticks in their hands and one of them is covering his face .

I would be terribly remiss if I didn’t recognize one of the people “you need to follow” here @scotttkennedy.bsky.social

The regular hockey season drops the puck today/tonight and I look forward to the hockey content all season long

The Cubs look tired, they look spent, they look like a ball club that is on a 1/4 tank and the Brewers look refreshed and just are playing better, and that’s not a slam on the Cubs as a ball club, these 2 games they played, they played tired, including mentally

🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤷 🤷‍♀️

Check the @capitolfax.bsky.social post, Rich (and Isabel) as always, have the deets

It’s too late, they will not leave until they decide the 60 days are up…

“Now let’s see them enforce it”

Oregon got it right

The want of the aggrieved to feel “seen”, “we will not be replaced”, sowing of disillusionment, the tearing down of truth, we have military forces in cities now, we have norms thrown out as division is sowed allowing Ailes dream to be fueled by hate…

… and there is why FoxNews is state run media

It’s not that we wholly never faced a Trump leader usurping our constitutional democracy

We did

It’s now we are choosing, with the oligarchs cheering Trump, to let off the hook Trump because all Ailes wanted neutralized has eroded because of money, racism, anger, fears, and disinformation

Roger Ailes erased/crushed all the obstacles Nixon had, then add AI, Bot Farms, disinformation, the kowtowing of news organizations, social media, the Ailes dream post-Nixon could end with authoritarian rule by a dictator

What did Nixon say?

“When a Prez does it, that means that it is not illegal”

It’s important context that Nixon, who couldn’t control media and news complained about truth and leaks (leaks are truth told in the open that were purposely hidden) and the law and facing backlash from so many in and out of his administration for breaking laws and norms and the news covering it

Me? I’m not wishing the worst, being glass half-empty, always the negative towards happenings…

… the truth is below, if all the bad is allowed to happen here, we lose our republic, there will be no freedom or place to “point out”, hey, I called it

It won’t matter, so let’s stop it all happening

Been thinking about this, especially on this (or *any* social media) platform;

My own goal here is to talk to what is happening and where too I think it may or may not go, but doing it with open eyes

**If the worst happens and is proven true, no one wins the day being proven true**

For me, it’s all “stuff and nonsense”, this discussion; Finebaum fired, he’s not fired, he’s suspended, he’s not suspended, ESPN is looking to replace him, he’s on “Get Up” today..

The truth of it all that matters, for me?

* Finebaum went full MAGA/Kirk and “calling”

The rest is noise

Finebaum - MAGA: On point

Finebaum - MAGA cultist: Beyond point

ESPN’s Paul Finebaum is your “friend” you knew was 80% MAGA, but they didn’t feel comfortable telling you how they feel, or even what they believe…

… then Trump had Jan 6th, won the presidency again… and they just can’t help but embrace the *worst* of both MAGA & Charlie Kirk, a “god-like” calling

Good morning,

But not to any authoritarian move that includes sending one state’s national guard to occupy another state’s city

I don’t want to wake up *constantly* under the threat of soft coup occupying forces in Illinois

Good morning

(Sigh)

This Cubs fizzling out is depressing

It’s like they’ve run out of gas

Example? Sure

Swanson would likely eat that ground ball, but trying to make a play, “E”

It’s that the Cubs aren’t playing at the level of the Brewers, and it’s putting big pressure on the club

The big takeaway thru 14 innings is that the Brewers are flat out playing better baseball than the Cubs

It’s that simple, they are playing better

Baseball is like that

Ok, let’s talk a lil baseball…

So, today, thus far;

The Dodgers are a monster, you don’t want to face them, solid up and down the lineup, someone is always picking up another

Cubs-Brewers, it’s like watching a BIGXII football game, a pinball machine scoreboard

“Welcome to the Occupation” - R.E.M.

On “11”, folks… on “11”

Here we go…

This is a very strong observation, not a wishcast

There’s a reason Trump loves his “camera loving” media types, and why Miller was never in that orbit

Miller was cast to be the easy-oft villain if it goes south

If you think the chaos that’s swirling around (shutdown, RFK, Jr, Hegseth, Fed Reserve, Foreign Policy) is a coincidence to Trump occupying American cities in a rehearsal for a soft coup upcoming…

… you were probably not a Poli Sci major in college and/or never took a class on the non-western world

Vichy Republicans support Trump, no matter how much they deny it

Do not let Vichy Republicans off the hook, they are as much the reason we are where we are as MAGA cultists

Had Vichy Republicans rejected Trump the second time…

… the MAGA cult will push us into 1933 Germany… gleefully, happily, and with no regret

That’s how democracy is taken by an authoritarian, and it’s like some aren’t just sitting back and watching, they’re cheering

If Trump goes full tilt “Insurrection Act”, especially after January 6th 2021, an insurrection Trump brought upon America, at which point then do we forget about the facade that we are still saving ourselves from this dictator?

Trump will have flipped the script and while polling horrendously…
