@Nora_7979 Trump is DIRTY, has no DIGNITY, and he is trying to DESTROY our DEMOCRACY and DENY and DELAY access to the Epstein Files facilitated by the DEPUTY Attorney General.

@DailyBanterNews @AGPamBondi @Sec_Noem You're not the least bit interested in knowing if the President of the United States, who once claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was one of his best friends, KNEW about Epstein's activities and actually praised him for it as their little secret?

@GodandCountryy @AGPamBondi @RapidResponse47 @Sec_Noem All sycophants! It's too flattering to even refer to them as the "B team."

[David Emerling @DavidEmerling]

@SpicyPatriot25 @AGPamBondi @Sec_Noem They're certainly "pivotal," but not in the way you characterize it. We have pivoted to a police state that does the bidding of the president. You're right, that's "pivotal."

@PU28453638 @AGPamBondi @Sec_Noem Seriously, there are still idiots out there who believe that the FBI instigated the attack on the capitol building on January 6th? This is why Trump does so well with lowly-educated people. Their gullibility factor is very high.

@Stallion_Pt3 @ThomasMHern @ScottJenningsKY Then where are the Republican activists to cheer on these Republican congressmen and senators at these town hall meetings?

@mark_r_23 @ThomasMHern @ScottJenningsKY @CNN All great presidents are judged by their legislative achievements, not the number of Executive (i.e. temporary) Orders they crank out.

@DecodingFoxNews The average American was not impressed with our president and vice president "tag teaming" a leader of an embattled ally. English isn't even Zelensky's second language - it's his THIRD. Putting on that show with the press in the room - including RUSSIAN media - was a disgrace.

@DecodingFoxNews Using Greg Gutfield's logic, Hitler's invasion of European nations was a "family fight" we should've stayed out of.

@DecodingFoxNews @TMobile My oldest daughter once had the best analogy for whenever she has to call her cellphone or cable provider: "It's like calling a bad boyfriend."

The spouse should not lose his/her freedom of speech simply because their spouse sits on the U.S. Supreme Court. It's up to the justice to recuse him/herself when an issue comes before the court that involves their spouse's activism.

@mustafa94ad She was a very attractive young woman and, for an 84-yr-old, she is *still* quite attractive.

The Ukrainians are not fighting so that their country can get into NATO as this article suggests. They are fighting to maintain their country's sovereignty.

@cbrandonchapman @KenzieHustle @KaylerSmithTV A batter can only interfere if there is an actual play on a runner. In one case, there was only a runner on 2nd and that runner wasn't even stealing. There's no play. Yet, the catcher plugs the batter. If I were the umpire, I'd keep the ball live after the catcher hit the batter.

[David Emerling @DavidEmerling]

@MrMatthewCFB @KendallRogers The home plate umpire properly called the batter-runner out for interfering with the fielder receiving the throw by being out of the running lane - which he was.

[David Emerling @DavidEmerling]

@ClayTravis The umpire having to go to the bathroom and having a kid remove his necklace are unrelated to the fact that your son may have actually interfered with the catcher’s throw to 3rd.

[David Emerling @DavidEmerling]

@ClayTravis The reason you’ve never seen this call (batter’s interference) at higher levels is because higher level batters know not to interfere.

[David Emerling @DavidEmerling]

@beaupeyton @JoeyMulinaro Alec and Eric still joke to this day, using the phrase, "Prepare to fail" - a shortened version of the t-shirts worn by the Tigers that said, "If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail." I actually think it was Alex who abbreviated that "wisdom."

[David Emerling @DavidEmerling]

@JomboyMedia The umpire can clearly be seen telling him to get back in the box. The batter appears to say something to the umpire and fails to comply. For all we know, the batter was being a smartass. The leash gets pretty short if that was the case.

[David Emerling @DavidEmerling]

@JomboyMedia The batter has to be out of the batter's box AND delay the game. There are two elements to the rule. Watching this, it appears that the pitcher was waiting for the batter to get back in the batter's box, so it appears he did delay that game.
