I was chopping vegetables but hell yeah I saw Italy put the hurts on McClean in the WBC.

I want USA to do well but we don't want USA to win because we don't want to see another sad ass McDonald's Night.

This is exactly right. I want to keep my suspension of disbelief about some of these guys.

"the simpsons predicted it" just means "none of the world's problems have been solved in the past 40 years"

ITALY!

LMAO

Schumer is more committed to insulating public opinion from the negative effects of the war on Iran than defeating Trump

this is so dumb it hurts my brain

they are more addicted to tax cuts than americans are to gas

No argument there!

Mac Jones for Maxx Crosby, who says no?

Didn't even know we had an IAHOF

....maybe San Juan isn't a great spot to host a March tournament

My neighbor is a really nice guy but also he's power washing his side of the fence outside my living room windows while I'm trying to watch baseball, so we're about to have some War of the Roses shit.

Although for the Giants it was worse. Correa was dressed up with his family waiting for the press conference to start.

*SF Giants fans nodding along solemnly*

This, or, say, funding TSA, is the limit of what Democrats will do to help "regular people." Because who does this actually help?

The fact that is politically disadvantageous is part of the grift.

Shut up homophobe

Cool!

Wish I had thought of this

Oh same. Set aside the tattoo and there are a half dozen disqualifying lies. Rich white guy cannot fail i guess.

Someone curated an experience for you and youre more than welcome to give it up if it doesnt speak to you. But you gotta try. After everything you've got to try.

Been chewing on this all day and think ive finally articulated why this from Jay offends me so much.

You're supposed to 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 to art, not control it. Inability to do the former is not just a problem for your relationship to art, but your relationship to people and ideas too.

Man, fuck this lying motherfucker

Not just because of money and not just because of AIPAC. Tho some are absolutely Zionists, which informs their decisions. Idk about Warner but that isnt Trump. His motivations are his own and I think thats an important distinction.

I agree that American politicians are largely amoral narcissists with malleable beliefs, and govern to the benefit of their donors. Then again, you wouldnt take Lockheed Martin money and vote to benefit them if you didn't have buy-in on the result. Both parties support war with Iran ideologically

I appreciate the sincere questions and desire to learn because I think theres a fine line in the critique where it is easy to give in to antisemitic framing. I believe you weren't intentionally doing so but its important to me that the progressive left make clear where that line is.

The thing is, they don't "buy" people, or control them. They fund people who agree with them, and support campaigns against those who don't. AIPAC is powerful because of politicians who are Zionists, not the other way around. Trump et al aren't doing their bidding, they have their own motives.

There it is again!

This is:

The fact that the WBC is only starting to get big and have star players means no player or team has earned this kind of enmity--especially in pool play! Shake hands, say hello, give a hug, who gives a shit.

Now, when something spicy happens on the field, hell yeah! Fight! Until then, chump shit.

I bet if you put it this way to them these phony hardasses would immediately stop
