@col_mosby @washingtonpost We’ve been trying for 50 years, but you’re an idiot, so you’ll never actually get it.

@ThomasNuckles @anewman35 @AmanitaFugax And we’re telling you that you can literally go see the receipts for yourself anytime you want. You choose not to. Why?

@ronn214 @TBJ_fan He did though. He ran right toward him with the ball, until Clement ran out of the baseline. Until Clement dives back toward the bag it looks like he’s giving himself up.

@foxy_moderne @MoundLore @TheHoopHerald The first thing that happens after he lands on both feet is he moves his left foot not once, but twice. That establishes his right foot as the pivot, and when he picks that foot up and puts it down again, it’s a travel.

@TookARonTurn @Lastdance_LL @JomboyMedia The rule literally says you don’t have to make a tag attempt.

[Socrates, throwing verbal rocks at mediocrities @cougian]

@londo402 @Lastdance_LL @JomboyMedia Right. Because he ran out of the baseline.

[Socrates, throwing verbal rocks at mediocrities @cougian]

@JeffScottDev @Lastdance_LL @JomboyMedia Once he was six feet out of the baseline, of course he abandoned the tag attempt.

@greylibertarian @HunterBiden @MikeASperrazza There was a drugged up son of a president that companies kept putting on their boards even though he was incompetent and you elected him governor of Texas and then President.

@sthorn_23 If you want to flip your bat, fine.
If you wanna admire your home run, fine.
If you want to yell at the stands, fine.
If you want to trot slowly, fine.
If you want complicated handshakes with each coach and then again at home, fine.

But you can’t do ALL of those. Pick one.

@isaacjsquires @Natemackall @TaraSetmayer @HQNewsNow @PaulaChertok If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll see how not voting with the “blue MAGA” as you call them didn’t save a single Palestinian and also cost the lives of millions of other people throughout Africa and the toll is still climbing. Are you self-aware enough to do that?

[Socrates, throwing verbal rocks at mediocrities @cougian]

@RobertAJGagnon1 What about the sweetheart plea deal he gave his buddy to get him out of a massive prison sentence for child rape? Is that a personal failing as well?

Imagine having to explain to someone seeing Wazzu vs Oregon St in Eugene that this is not a Pac 12 Tournament game, but an NCAA Regional of a Mountain West team vs an Independent team at a Big Ten stadium.

I know every generation has their class struggles, but let me tell you about the summer of 1990 when Supersoakers hit the market and only a few kids could afford them and the rest of us were hunted for sport.

@jason_howerton But the worst policies Talarico supposedly supports have no chance of becoming law. But electing Paxton gives a massively corrupt individual even more power to be even more corrupt. It’s not even a difficult trade-off. Just say you like the corruption because it’s your guy.

[Socrates, throwing verbal rocks at mediocrities @cougian]

@timisnook Paxton gave a sweetheart plea deal to a child rapist so he only spent one day in prison because he’s rich and connected. He’s LITERALLY the most corrupt person in Texas. That’s an objective fact. It’s not even an opinion.

[Socrates, throwing verbal rocks at mediocrities @cougian]

@covie_93 @R_JonAnderson But not too detailed, cause then you’re a “policy wonk” and “can’t connect with real people.”

[Socrates, throwing verbal rocks at mediocrities @cougian]

@AaronBlake @SenJeffMerkley They know he’s dying.

[Socrates, throwing verbal rocks at mediocrities @cougian]

@sebn3 @ParadoxPopper @VladTheInflator Wouldn’t you have to count from your most recent ancestor to come over? If you’re the sum of all your ancestors, following just one branch seems disingenuous.

[Socrates, throwing verbal rocks at mediocrities @cougian]

@EsotericCD You said he’s “morally worse” than a guy who just cut a sweetheart deal for a pedophile.

You don’t HAVE to like him but cmon, man, what are we doing here?
