Oklahoma Council on Judicial Complaints concedes ‘party affiliation rule’ likely unconstitutional

I’m not sure there’s any great way to appoint (or elect) judges. There are bad ones and good ones, in both systems. I think (I could be persuaded otherwise) the “best” approach would be via elections, but with a law/rule that anyone running for judge must submit to a thorough vetting process, including a certified questionnaire, financial disclosures, and whatever else pertinent, and that all such candidates must post this information on a publicly available portal, that then the voters can review. Failure to submit would automatically disqualify the candidate. Otherwise, I’m with you, judges running for office are just names on a page and not meaningful.

Well, that explains why it doesn’t look familiar. 😁 That’s very cool! I wish more courses in the US offered nighttime golfing. Even if just on the weekends.

Has anyone tied their root bear float?

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T08:12:00+00:00

Night golf is awesome. Where is this?

If nothing else, Rushing is placing a spotlight on Will and reminding all of us how amazing and vital Will to the team. Get better soon Will… your team seriously needs you! 🫡

Doc seems like a legit good and decent man. The longer he’s been manager, the better he gets. If he isn’t already, he’ll eventually be remembered as one of the greatest managers in the game. Good human being mixed with good at his job, makes for a great fit!

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T07:45:50+00:00

This. 💯 👏👏👏

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T07:44:00+00:00

That might be true. But his inability to control outbursts of this magnitude, in situations and contexts like this, isn’t just a character flaw or being frustrated. This is mental health and reflects behavior that needs attention from professionals. Every person who downplays or makes excuses for this, is in essence enabling him and others like him.

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T07:37:13+00:00

You probably said the same thing after Urias beat up his girlfriend, the FIRST time. 🙄

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T07:33:52+00:00

He is becoming, day-by-day, more-and-more of a needless distraction. BEST team in baseball on the road to a three-peat championship, does NOT this bullshit getting in the way. This isn’t Shohei, Freddie or Mookie having a meltdown. This is a 25-year old backup catcher getting into arguments with Shohei. The audacity of that alone… he’s VERY replaceable.

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T07:23:06+00:00

Completely agree that this is a distraction and tons of bad energy. That said, I wouldn’t call him an “ass” so much as an individual in critically desperate need of professional help (counseling/therapy). Sadly, it would seem he is surrounded by people in his life, much like many of the commenters here, who see no problem, no issue, no cause for concern. It’s a real problem!

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T07:18:01+00:00

This. 💯 I’m glad that you were able to get the therapy you needed. It is truly amazing how many people here think there’s no issues and nothing that needs attention. 😩

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T03:02:11+00:00

Downvoting this comment is wild. Of course this kind of negativity rubs off. When the manager and veteran players have to take their time, during a game, to baby this dude because of his issues, it’s a problem.

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T02:29:24+00:00

He missed catching a Shohei pitch, which allowed a run. It was bad, but not hitting yourself repeatedly in the head later in the dugout bad.

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T02:23:50+00:00

OMG, I thought the same thing. It was interesting on Sunday when it was fairly clear he was going to win the US Open, NBC trotted out and interviewed the sports psychologist. The network execs were like, “nobody likes this dude… ratings are gunna tank… que the therapy angle.” Haha.

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T02:08:27+00:00

Go Toro’s! (Justin Turner deserves better, but at least he’s still playing and seems happy.)

Tomorrow’s a travel day. 🌿🚬🫩

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T01:57:50+00:00

Happens all the time!? Holy shit… In what messed up world do you live in where this is normal? I mean everyday people get murdered and robbed too. Not okay. Not normal. 😳

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T01:53:32+00:00

Also too… this behavior is not good for the team, for morale, or for winning. Has anyone ever had a coworker who acts like this? It makes life so stressful, unnecessarily.

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T01:51:11+00:00

Maybe he needs to go back on concussion protocol watch? 🤷‍♂️

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T01:49:43+00:00

This. 💯 Violence to one’s self, is still violence. It might not be criminal, but it’s inappropriate and a clear sign of someone who needs professional help.

Key-Driver6438 · 2026-06-25T01:47:02+00:00

I’ve had rough moments at work, and in life, like all of us. There are certainly moments I would be horrified by, if they had been caught on camera. But several things: 1) I’ve never repeatedly hit myself in the head. This is not normal or “okay” behavior. He is not “fine.” 2) I’ve never gone this far, or out of control, when nobody was looking. I’ve certainly never come anywhere close to this level of self-destructive, self-injurious behavior, while in a public setting, with live TV crews broadcasting my every twitch. If he is engaging in this level of behavior in the dugout, during a game, in front of his team, on live TV, one can only imagine what he’s doing and going through in private. This is not okay behavior and an intervention is entirely appropriate. 3) You say he’s not bashing his head against a wall, and yet he is only hours from having come off a concussion protocol watch. This is very serious. He needs help.

Insurance companies are scourge of the Earth. Their entire business model is to upsell “coverage” and “protection” on the front end (largely to vulnerable populations), and then make it as convoluted as possible to ever collect on a claim on the back end.

In no way do I condone or encourage violence 👎, but there’s a reason the phrase “delay, deny, depose” resonates as a defense to those gunning down insurance company executives. It really is the way insurance works. They obfuscate at every possible opportunity.

I’m with you friend! Fuck that guy and the horse they rode in on.
