Byron Buxton Apologist

Trying to enjoy each fact equally. EXTEND JOE RYAN NOW!

@quadrakyiro @CrimeWatchMpls That’s obviously insane. But I do think the left would trade this random college kid for Justice Alito, so maybe you’ll get some people to agree!

@BritMcKenzieAR @MikeWickline Will this also apply to direct shipment of beer? If not, why not include beer?

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@StoverLoves @GregLeding Says the guy who thinks we shouldn’t listen to students when making decisions about education.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@StoverLoves @GregLeding It seems like you somehow think we are in agreement. We are not.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@Riley_Gaines_ Republicans have majorities in the House and in the Senate. You have to be seriously ill-informed or disingenuous to say the Dems are to blame here. What a strange accusation.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@Btabcj @Riley_Gaines_ And the TCJA hasn’t expired…seems like an important fact here!

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@Riley_Gaines_ It is not hard to look at the U.S. Code and see that the TCJA did not expire under Biden and actually remains in effect until 12/31/2025. So if it does expire it will expire while Trump is President and while the GOP has a majority in both the House and Senate.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@StoverLoves @GregLeding Imagine thinking students shouldn’t have a voice in this process.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@KBAndersen @mattyglesias I think a big reason they want Ukraine to cede territory to Russia is because it pre-legitimizes/normalizes what they want to do with Panama, Greenland, Canada, etc.

@DrSteinmanTTV @GaijinBaseball He’s not the same pitcher he was 5 years ago. That’s a long time, especially when he hasn’t been facing MLB competition.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@omarhbeis @GaijinBaseball @AgentRachelLuba Good lord. If someone says “my goal is to strike out 50% of the batters I face” it’s not meant to be literal. Bauer was saying he was expecting to strike out a bunch of guys (braggadocio) and he didn’t. It’s not that complicated.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@andy_bagg @BauerOutage @DanClarkSports @Twins Sorry, we want pitchers who are still good at pitching. 91 doesn’t get it done in today’s MLB.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@RWhisk1 @mattyglesias A guy who was elected president long enough ago that people born that year will be old enough to vote in the next midterm. Super relevant reference.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@FDTProgressive @samstein @JoePerticone You have described the reason they would do this in the first place.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@cwebbonline Of course, in this case, they are hoping people do exactly what you did: pay for alternative services from the private sector.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@twinsdaily Except thus ignores the fact that the big reason you want to put the ball in play rather than K is that balls in play result in a base hit about 30% of the time (IIRC).

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@alltejuupptaget @mattyglesias Except in this case the fact that it would cost more to restart is part of the point of what they are doing.

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@AlphaWolfster @mattyglesias Who built all the roads?

[Byron Buxton Apologist @RDLARK]

@BetterDrivingUS @Alicoh1 @mattyglesias Trouble is the same people who oppose congestion prices are the ones who refuse to invest in public services such as transit.
