History: β€œEventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way”

Me: β€œOh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??”

History: β€œmmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Devastated by this, even though I saw it coming. I know my Padres are still a contending team, but it’s sad to see them do worse than the White Flags..damn auto-correct, White Sox, this off-season.

If Trump were to seize Greenland, a NATO member, under the NATO charter, NATO would be compelled to defend. This would either pit America vs NATO or force NATO to back down and dissolve.

This is a Trump-Putin joint effort to destroy NATO together.

I’m trying to remain positive, but the hits just keep coming. I tell myself that 80% of what he has wrought so far is illegal, and will be stopped, but I can’t trust the judiciary either. I can’t even retreat into baseball, because of the ownership dispute.

I will never understand why one or more asshats make it their moral imperative to prevent a worthy player from being unanimously elected to the HOF. Ichiro deserved it. Tony Gwynn, Cal Ripken Jr., Ken Griffey Jr. all deserved it. The list is long and distinguished….Insert quote here.

Thanks for clearing that up for them.

It’s the latter. They circumvent a lot of the luxury tax with them. A lot of those deferments won’t be paid until that player is no longer a Dodger, so it won’t ever count against the luxury tax.

Except that other teams wouldn’t be able to pay that ludicrous amount of money down the road, so no one would take that contract.

On the bright side, only 22 days until pitchers and catchers report.

I call BS. The Dodgers have played the system with massively deferred contracts, which limits the effectiveness of the already somewhat ineffectual revenue sharing system. Other sports, NFL for example, share revenue much more evenly, including broadcast revenues.

So I keep seeing lowlights of his inaugural address, but perhaps I’m being blinded by my echo chamber. Did he say anything even remotely like what you would expect from the β€œleader of the free world”?

This, right here, is why I don’t speak to several people I know, and some relatives, who are Trumpers.
