The Brewers could have played yesterday’s game w/o an outfield. The White Sox didn’t hit a single ball into outfield.

Here's the entirety of the Sox' ABs: 20 Ks, 5 infield groundouts,
2 infield pop-ups, 5 BB, 2 infield singles, 2 HRs

an “inherent power” to respond to an “imminent” attack is just a license for aggressive war on the president’s whim

The Kennedy Center was created by a federal law two months after President John Kennedy’s assassination. It was designated as a living memorial to President Kennedy given his devotion to the advancement of the performing arts. Today Trump just renamed the Kennedy Center after himself.

I'm increasingly convinced Trump's inner circle is giving him busy work (the White House ballroom, Kennedy Center, presidential plaques, gold decorations, etc.) while they essentially run the government. He admits that he doesn't even know who he is pardoning anymore.

Funny (not funny) thing is that Trump first gained power because the GWB administration made a war out of thin air. Criticizing the Iraq war was largely how he separated himself from the other 2016 GOP presidential candidates.

If only he was able to remember this.

You roll into Ohare one week before Christmas and cause chaos in the rideshare lot for only one reason and it's not to keep people safe.

He's lying. How do we know?

Because they released the Sept 2nd video already!! Just not the part where they illegally killed the survivors. There's nothing "top secret" about the second strike if there wasn't anything top secret about the first one.

Zero reckoning from any of the elites who credulously parroted the absurd idea that the right wing was in favor of free speech.

They were always going to unleash full-on ethnic cleansing. They were just waiting for a plausible excuse.

Insulting to have to point this out, but if you have spent even 30 minutes reading US history, you realize that every decade has been dominated by racist hysteria that the "new" people won't ever fit in.

This exact prejudice would have been applied to Miller's forebears, when they fled pogroms.

So this may seem obvious to you and me, but it's important to repeat and underscore to every normie we can: Trump's goal was always to end *legal* immigration for anyone he deems not white.

A *lot* of Trump voters believed the lie that only "illegal" immigrants would be targeted.

It’s really something. The greatest country in the history of the world twice elected the most stupid, most ignorant, biggest idiot in the history of the world.

Trump every time he’s confronted about one of his lies: “Who are you with?”

Reporter: Gives name of company.

Trump: You’re fake news. You’re terrible. I’m not calling on you anymore! You should be ashamed of yourself! This is why nobody watches you!

Then goes back to lying.

Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.

The GOP campaigned on "We are better at government than the Democrats"

Enough voters believed them and gave them the keys to the government.

And now its "Its all Democrats' fault that we suck at governing"
