Look at Ray Ray Run

Isn't the report that he called the police after hitting the curb, basically telling on himself. Hilarious; then he became belligerent, likely asking the cops if they knew who he was as he did last time. When this tape releases it will be even more embarrassing.

Yeah, it's just nonsense. People love to sit on these absurd moralistic towers where they would act altruistic at all times, but what the heck do I have to do with some dumb ass my boss hired acting a fool? That's not my problem, that's my bosses problem.

Blood on their hands? Because Tony is only capable of driving drunk due to his employer? Give it a rest. He has no business being hired for this job, and it's a position with plenty of qualified candidates that don't come with baggage so heavy you gotta pay extra, but Tony La Russa is a grown man and him being a POS doesn't mean Rick Hahn would have blood on his hands for decisions Tony La Russa made. Jaysus.

I'm 99% sure that corporate offices throughout America are riddled with people convicted of DUI. You're going to have a hard time finding a job if things like that become required.

Ricky after Jerry made him hire Tony: Rick after "someone" leaked the story to ESPN and Passan:

I think this works out for the Sox; I think La Russa inevitably steps down because he doesn't want to deal with this shit that he caused.

Why would you want things to go poorly for the players who have worker their asses off and done nothing wrong? Weird take.

Pick up the phone and cancel your season tickets.

He's 76 years old; probably forgot he was drunk.

I mean, they're not going to say they had no idea as that would be even more embarrassing. Maybe they get lucky here and it gives them an out; probably not though.

Nothing to see here folks... this is going well. This hiring is like an Atlanta freeway during a snowstorm.

Actions are a lot more important than words; tone means about 1%, and while Trump was exhausting for us who followed politics and current events, it's obvious many don't care. So while I appreciate a non-hostile rhetoric, I would appreciate if Joe Biden actually did good things for people and wasn't a man of corporate intent as he's been for much of his 50 years in public "service" from which he is now worth 9 million dollars. Watching countless Republicans come out and praise Biden for slamming the progressive movement doesn't give me much hope for change because Biden has always been closer to say John Kasich than he is to an actual liberal who wants a Great Green New Deal to save the environment, or fair and equal health-care for all. What I hope is that I am wrong, and that democrats see the writing on the wall; "we are losing the working class Americans", which includes the minorities that we have spoken to in platitudes without executing any true community uplifting policies over the past few decades - the Latino's who we assume will vote democratic as we ignore their pleas for help over and over. It was difficult to be excited yesterday as we watched the Mayor of Chicago promote people being out on the streets "celebrating" while Illinois recorded 10% of the national cases - 10% of a day that was the worst since the pandemic began. We have become a nation in which, if you agree with me your actions aren't irresponsible. The standard for both sides is merely not the same, as many forgive and rationalize the decisions their "team" makes while admonishing the other side for their reckless actions. I was happy yesterday too, but we're in the middle of a pandemic and hundreds of thousands of Americans have died. It's been a tough year for all of us; hell, earlier in the year I lost my job that I had worked to get for 5 years. My wife hasn't seen her mother in two years because our trips got cancelled due to the virus, and Colombia walling off their boarder to Americans. I understand the angst and pain of being locked indoors with the impending winter coming, but you can't look at the other side and tell them how they don't care about lives.... how they're reckless and negligent... how they're complicit in the loss of lives because they don't care about their neighbor or grandparents; only to go on and celebrate recklessly in the streets when the virus is ravaging through our communities worse than it ever has. It's important in society for our judgements to be held to the same standard, if not even a higher standard for those we agree. It's great that Obama was a fantastic orator, and his message was uplifting to many who needed it but his overall execution was destructive to the lives of the average American and he's not the first Democratic President whose words didn't match their policies and execution. Similarly to religion, I respect the hope it gives but I despise the destruction it has left in its wake. It's great that the hostile orange man is gone, but it's important that we don't lose site of what has caused so much pain for so many over the decades of the past. Economic inequality has ravaged through our communities; environmental destruction has destroyed entire communities and states; water is still undrinkable in flint Michigan and throughout other poverty riddled communities. It's nice to hear someone who says everyone matters, again, but it'll be even more refreshing if for the first time in my lifetime a President actually shows that he gives a fuck. Oh, and Lori Lightfoot; after months of shaming and degrading those who were weary of the sincerity of lockdowns... those who lost their jobs and livelihoods due to government forced closures, only to be left out to rot after being given a lousy $1200 stimulus check.... it takes a lot of nerve to be out on the streets promoting mass gatherings while the local hospitals are at capacity... But hey, it's 2020 and if you agree with me... it's OK to be irresponsible.

It does not prevent it the way you think: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2020/07/14/supreme-courts-faithless-electors-decision-validates-case-for-the-national-popular-vote-interstate-compact/ " Given the amount of publicity received by the grandstanding faithless electors in 2016, each political party can be expected to be extremely careful in 2020 about vetting the people they nominate for the position of presidential elector. If the political parties do their job carefully and well, faithless electors cannot have any effect on the outcome of a presidential election—under either the current system or the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. "

"We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won’t allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina" While this sounds funny, I don't put anything past these people anymore. Republicans pretending like they'd check him is absolutely comical.

There is nothing that says the electoral college has to vote with it's constituents choice.

It's really dangerous.

Trump is nearing levels of absurdity that things could be very dangerous out there. Be safe out there guys. This guy wants nothing more than to cause violence.

I still have my doubts about how much Trump actually wanted to be POTUS. I'd be shocked if he went through this process again.

Yeah, but there's really no reason to believe the states are going to take him down now. They've done nothing to him for 50 years. They're not going to start holding them accountable now.

Trumps pardon list is going to be an interesting one, and never forget that he can pardon his family for any crimes that occurred prior that have not been charged.

+about 320ish was the peak Florida was scary, but felt possible. I couldn't have been more wrong anyway; I said no way he wins without PA and it looks like he might. Shows that the reason for the bet might be awful, but the result could be glorious.

COVID may have been the deciding factor after all. Nevada and Vegas especially got hit worse than any other state due to it's sole reliance on tourists. SO many lost their jobs and houses.

Hi Don!

We'll agree to disagree; from a financial understanding of the word it's just not socialism. He is not transferring ownership from the few to the many; he is merely asking the few to distribute wealth to the masses in a way that is logical and in line with the actual impact people have on a company. Either way, we're arguing semantics and I think you are pointing out how the media evolves a "boogey man" word to mean entirely different things. It's similar to how everyone was a communist back in the day if they questioned the machine.
