The story’s author takes us into the living room of Johnstown resident Pam Schilling, a 60-year-old retiree who is already keyed up to vote for Trump in 2020:

This sucks in a way that’s hard to put into words. Halladay is someone I’d have driven to Cooperstown to see his induction. A personal hero from back when I still had those.

Should’ve been you, Curt Schilling.

So, so many pics of old man balls are in some intern’s future.

“I fought to protect the freedoms you enjoy in this country, so you better stop fucking enjoying them!”
