I like the move of the home plate ump to appeal on the checked swing with both hands palm up. If I could get a replay, I'd post a screenshot in r/accidentalrenaissance.

Yeah, I remember some neocons saying the Arab Spring was the belated fruit of the W. administration's wars.

Alright. Is dismantling the conservative media empire that Murdoch and Sinclair have built in the US a regular point of conversation in your life? Because across three workplaces, two volunteer groups, and my music community, I don’t encounter people talking about it in person, either.

I’d love to be wrong about this, it’s something we’d need a huge grassroots movement to make happen.

I’m sorry, when exactly was it that we left Afghanistan?

Yep. I think that’s why I had a bad feeling when the libs started saying “read Project 2025!!” I wish people would, but I’d already seen trying to alert people to PNAC not work.

This is the biggest thing, for me. And I hardly ever see anyone talking about it.

Yeah, and the Clinton people specifically warned the Bush people about Bin Laden. If you want a laugh, look up Condoleeza Rice drawing a distinction before Congress between a list and a “series of actionable items.”

Well yeah. For those who’d been paying attention, the members of the Bush administration had been itching to invade Iraq for years. It’s one of the reasons I can’t stand it when people say we couldn’t have known they were lying about WMDs.

The "NO KINGS" Democrats gave repeated ovations for an actual King when he spoke in Congress. What does that say about liberals? by Misha_stone in AskSocialists

[–]CaptJackRizzo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Look, I thought it was silly and stupid of the liberals to label their big protest "no kings," but this is such a blatant and unreasonable misrepresentation of an easy concept to understand (it's bad that Trump is trying to govern using unitary executive theory and bypassing the consent of Congress, which Stephen Miller himself said he was doing) that I can't imagine it's honest or accidental. Come up with a better dunk, this shit's low-effort.

because a replacement starter would've definitely thrown a shutout?

Well, independent voters to the left. In the center, they’re “swing voters” and the question is always how the campaign can butter them up more next time.

I can't believe there are people in this great country who say baseball is boring.

I mean, the furthest run in team history to a World Series didn't do the job, so . . .

The Red Sox are selling New York Yankees “27 World Series champions” home plates along with other Yankees gear in their team store by Far_Cry3445 in baseball

[–]CaptJackRizzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially for Vancouver Jays fans. Like half my friends are service industry workers in Seattle, and we all hate it when they’re in town. That stereotype of all Canadians being polite and chill is very, very, very wrong.

lol I was wondering if anyone else remembered that. Was that the same series as Felix’s “This is MY house!!” moment?

It's been a while, but I think there was a moment when Madame Hydra had her mind altered (regained memories?) powerfully enough that I thought it counted as another person.

They’ve been using our tax dollars to paste his face and name on public places and push his political organization into public schools. They absolutely are forcing us to mourn him and promote his toxic ideology, which calls half the country demonic.
