i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

I put the muppets Kermit, Sweetums, Grover, Miss Piggy, Elmo, Crazy Harry and Mr. Squigglebottom in Hieronymus Bosch’s right panel of The Garden of Earthly Delights.

what the right panel of the garden of earthly delights looks like in my brain:

I was born at the children’s hospital in Washington DC

Trump: I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

The Epstein Ballroom it is

Struck me at the end of Trump's first term, post-impeachment, that even when he got bipartisan support (like for CARES) he didn't invite Dems to the bill signing.

I think about this bc there's a kneejerk political media instinct to ask Dems how they'll unify the country and it's getting very silly.

We’ve updated our story with an additional comment provided by the United States Justice Department.

And again I say:

Trump and Stephen Miller’s authoritarian playbook is painfully predictable:

1️⃣ Target a Democratic city
2️⃣ Lie about crime
3️⃣ Deploy heavily armed agents to aggressively detain innocent people and violate their rights
4️⃣ Create stress and chaos
5️⃣ Use self-created chaos as excuse for militarization

You could charge admission and treat it as a Rage Room. People would probably pay enough for the construction to restore it to its previous state, as well as the Rose Garden.

I cancelled, but I'm not going back just because they caved. It's not like they reconsidered on moral grounds; they just wanted to slow the exodus because of the lost revenue.

I don't get it either. If something's not fun, don't play it and move on. There's no need to get contrarian with the devs. Just because a player doesn't vibe with a particular game doesn't mean there are, as you mention, inherent flaws in the design. Folks just like saying "it's not me, it's you."

They're also on NBC if you have an antenna and get good reception.

But also, Robles should have taken at least 1 pitch there. The pressure was on the pitcher in that situation. Swinging at the first pitch helped bail him out.

Putting 2 runners in scoring position with 1 or possibly no outs is the correct thing to do for the very bottom of your lineup.

I mean, if he didn't jump that's hitting him in the head. Dafuq's he supposed to do? He's not obligated to slide him 8 feet away.

lol could you imagine if this was still the Kingdome with that 318 ft right field? Ohtani would hit 10+ HR's in one World Series.

I'd love to see them be more patient with Toronto's starter to rack up a high pitch count. I truly believe the key to the M's winning this will be for their bullpen to continue to outperform Toronto's.

But also, is Edgar not one of their hitting coaches? How about coaching them to be patient in the first 3 innings to rack up a high pitch count on their starter, and manufacture some runs off deliberate hitting? This feast or famine approach, where it's either a HR or a strikeout, is not helpful.

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

NEW: Holy shit. Trump is tearing down part of the White House. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.

This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.
