Lots of speculation that Girardi is the top candidate for the job...but if so...why fire Matheny? They basically have the same old school, no fun, managerial style. Which is exactly why they will hire Girardi. He has the Cardinal Way written all over him, but he hasn’t lost the clubhouse like Mathe...

I don’t think “Javy doesn’t know names” is a meme anymore. It’s just real life. It started when he was in like AA and he was talking about how great his team's lineup was, and he knew himself and two other top-100 prospects. He went down the list saying "some guy" for everyone else. Edit:...

Speaking of vanity plates, I snapped this not long ago. I think they were trying to convey “Jesus is Lord”, but I can’t unsee something different now.

Neat, more dog whistles that are completely irresponsible in every way

That slippery slope between ending ICE and The Purge.

A guy is in a terrible car accident. His insides are all torn up. He's in surgery for 7 hours while his poor wife sits on pins and needles in the waiting room. Finally, the surgeon comes out. The wife runs over to him. "Doc, you gotta tell me, just level with me, is he gonna make it?!" Th...

I probably watched the same John Oliver episode as you (support for the investigation was 64% but now its 52%!!! Small sample size OH NOES!!!!), but I think team Trump's disinformation tactics to get public opinion to sour on Mueller are just screams into the void. The public doesn't matter much as...

This is exactly the appropriate time to peacefully protest by burning the flag.

So assuming that these payments from companies like ATT and Novartis are the exact pay-to-play bs that it looks like.......Trump can’t survive that, can he? Are you new here? It does reveal a 4th rail to the Mueller probe after collusion, obstruction and money laundering. I know many here have said...

Evidence suggests that is correct. But it also signifies the true problem. There is no "white people", only people. Race is a hypothetical construct. We have been so conditioned to see color of skin as a behavior trait rather than a genetic trait that we can't get away from it. White peop...

Swing back from what? If they're running against Clinton in 2018', who are they going to run against in 2020'? Nancy Pelosi, the media, gays, transgenders, universities, abortion, poor people. Democrat appointed SCOTUS picks. NOBODY on either side is motivated to vote by SCOTUS appointments. A 97 y...

I just disagree with all of this. Hillary was a uniquely terrible nominee for the Dems in 2016 or it would not have been close. Republicans aren’t showing up this Fall and unless something unforeseen happens they won’t in 2020. You and I have argued about the existence of the undecided voter in the...

He's a Republican; he doesn't need enthusiasm on his side. If he's their guy, they'll show up. All we've seen is that Republicans will stick with the guy with the (R) no matter what; the time where some of them where making bull horsefeathers overtures about not being sure about him are dead and bu...

100% agree with all this, plus consider that 37%-40% is more or less Trump’s ceiling (as you sorta alluded to). 538 would call this a bad use of polling. Nate Silver himself has also repeatedly pointed out how Trump's pretty steady hovering around 41% leaves him just barely outside the polling wind...

https://twitter.com/OpinionToday/status/988486799319281664 George H.W. Bush was at 58% approval at the 1990 midterms. There’s not a lot of predictive power in midterm polls. Also, I think context is important. In 2010, Obama was presiding over a country just beginning to pull out of recession. The ...

FWIW, he’s been hinting at something embarrassing for Hannity for weeks now.

The hype about Cohen going to Prague and confirming collusion as this is some game changer is unlikely. The media seems to forget Trump Jr. meeting with the Russians to get dirt on Hillary. Then subsequently lying about it, getting caught in the lie, and following it up with a fictional letter from...

do you guys actually know anyone in the military or is this one of those things where we show respect for the troops by pretending they aren’t mostly extremely conservative people who love trump? A few family members, yes. I’m not trying to argue that the military is full of liberals. I’m just push...

Most are Trumpsters so they probably are thinking they are making America great again

What the hell?

You need to research more on Steve Scalise. He’s a full fledged party-line monstrosity, but he was shot so he’s therefore a hero in some twist of fate.

Derwood wrote:Did anyone actually watch the Stormy Daniels nonsense?

Not much that was ground breaking news there, other than they strongly hinted that they have some evidence that might be embarrassing.

It’s not that I doubt the Cubs’ talent. It’s that I fear the Cardinals’ malarky. It’s been too quiet recently.

Oh, I guess I never considered the malarky factor.
