  1. Assuming we have a MiLB season, minor league starter. If we don't, on the MLB roster.
  2. TLR offered some Wild Turkey, but it was 3/4 gone.
  3. Didn't the Angels just say they wouldn't be cutting payroll this year? Kinda made it sound like they wouldn't be real spenders either.
  4. Comrade Vladimir approved this message.
  5. Fake news: He retired in 2018.
  6. Wouldn't be spectacular if Merrick Garland was the guy who got to prosecute Donald Trump?

  10. And here is one of my biggest peeves about this Presidential administration. If he wants to deem certain industries as essential, and demand that they go back to work in the most dangerous working conditions in a century, his obligation to those workers has only begun. At that point, that designation needs to open up the power and checkbook of the federal government to do whatever it takes to make that work environment as safe as possible, It shouldn't just be just buy yourself a mask and good luck. if the feds are deeming meatpacking essential, what are they doing to treat the workers like they are also essential lives. There are things we know and have learned about this virus that allow us to alter a worksite to make it much safer, but that costs money and resources, many that these businesses don't necessarily have. If President Trump wants to tell these people that their jobs are more important than their lives, I have a major problem with that. He is knowingly and willingly sentencing people to death, when with either an executive order, or by working with Congress, he could keep them alive.
  11. Leading the world in high profile counting stats is absolutely a reason to be HOFer. If he hadn't been banned from baseball, he would have been a first ballot HOF and one that got 99% of the vote. I don't know how well Rose's game translates to the modern era, but he is 100% a certain HOF player if you ignored his off of the field problems.
  12. It is federal interference in the state electoral process. It is everything that is anti-State's rights.
  13. He is quite literally attacking the wheels of democracy here. We had a valid election with a clear winner, yet he isn't just questioning the results, he is physically going after the individuals who are responsible for making the decisions at the state level, which is unprecedented in American history. I mean Hillary Clinton spent a considerable amount of time b****ing about the election, and was relentlessly mocked for it. Trump has taken that sand castle, and built a beach side mansion on top of it. This is far past questioning an election, it is attacking the actual institutions here. At the top of the list he is directly targeting the GOP sacred cow of States Rights. The Lost Cause defense of the Civil War is states rights, yet here we are. The States have their own systems in place for declaring winners in their state wide elections, and here is the President specifically targeting both the states and their processes for deciding elections. Where are all of those states right advocates at? How do they not see this is violation of every single states right covenant built into the constitution? If we are going to allow federal officials to decide an election, why aren't we getting rid of the states portion of the election and just holding a federal election for a federal office? This is exactly what Trump is asking for here. The irony is that it is the GOPs defense of Lost Cause propaganda that puts them as the defacto defenders of states rights, yet here they are destroying the system which they proport to love, all for a President who himself is a Lost Cause (punctuation intended).
