Has anyone asked, “If Trump were not the President would you have indicted him for obstruction?”

I’m zero inclined to offer any sort of forgiveness or assistance to anyone who voluntarily signed up to help the Orange Fuhrer. It’s not like there could have been any surprises about what you were getting into, since it’s only been downhill from the Obama birther beginning. A life sentence of shaming is the only…

Not going to page through 500 comments. If no one has called you a snowflake by now then here it is.  Out of all the shit this is what triggers you?  

That’s an excuse. There are degrees, and we are far worse than we could be. Our campaign fiance, lobbying and employment after leaving Congress laws can be changed to greatly reduce the impact of money on policy. 

Who will?

I trust her more than Bernie to be an effective agent of change in a positive direction. Incrementalism is all that’s feasible now. Ignoring that fundamental truth is why we have Trump instead of Clinton.  Too many purists voted for 3rd party candidates.  There may be tipping points where large changes could be made…

I don’t know about “ever”. I’m split between total pessimism and a glimmer of hope. I’d like to see what Warren and a Dem Congress would do, but I don’t have my hopes up for significant change in my lifetime, other than the climate.

Yeah, but we know that’s just not how America works. Now if Warren gets elected there’s a slim chance things could change somewhat in that regard, but as long as government is as corrupted by money as it is there’s no hope.

So you have no stats to support your contention that overrun tags are a “decent chunk” of replays, or how many occur per game. I watch quite a few games and don’t notice them as standing out. Occasional but definitely not frequent. I actually did find some stats. In 2018 there were a total of 1409 replays in the 4,860…

A “decent chunk”? You have any stats to support that?  How many replays per game are for tags on base overruns?  And you’d open up judgement calls and arguments about whether runners had turned toward the next base at 2nd and 3rd, and then potential tag replays if the runner did but then tried to get back.  A big…

The media will start ignoring Trump when he stops making them money and not a second before.  That’s the system of the 4th estate we’ve created, and we reap what we’ve sown.  America isn’t a country, it’s a business.

Can almost hear it saying “42".

If you beat the tag now you beat the tag. What’s the argument against sliding and maintaining contact with the bag? Sometimes it’s close? Sometimes it close at 1st. Sometimes it would be close on the tag you want them to beat before they touch the bag. Guys would still slide to get under the tag rather than standing…

Why not change the rule to not allow overrunning 1st? You’re also suggesting allowing overruns of 2nd and 3rd on non-forced plays as in this example. You sure about all the ramifications of that?

BS. It’s about criticism and it’s about being non-white, and female, and them having the gall to not be intimidated. When did he tell a white man who criticized him to go back to where they came from? “Go back to where you came from” is only used against minorities, and never Europeans since at least since when the…

As another poster indicated your stat is incorrect. But it’s also beside the point I was making. I asked about Senators, which is an entirely different ball game. It’s not a democratically representative body. Without getting into each states history, demographics and politics what is clear is the Senate is not…

???? People have already died. Numerous mass shootings inspired by the Orange Fuhrer.

Yep. It’s been too late for a long time. I’ve posted numerous times on different forums, what would it take for voter sentiment to threaten GOP Senators enough to impeach him? Never get an answer. And the farther he pushes them the more entrenched those voters get. It’s more than scary.

Clearly we’re deeply flawed in numerous ways, but possibly most of all in who we allow to lead us and what those individuals’ priorities are. So much potential and yet so much unnecessary suffering to serve the desires of the few.
