@brianros1 Why are the Palestinians the biggest issue for the far left? Why do they think Gaza cost Harris the election? Why do they think Gaza is a winning message in November? The closed circle thinking is mind boggling.

@brianros1 Remember these are the people who knew of Platner’s baggage & didn’t think it would be a problem in the general.

@speechboy71 @dlanzillotta To me Spartacus is in the upper half of those types of spectacles. It should be noted it’s the only film of Kubrick’s in which he came on as a hired hand. BTW how about a 70’s Movie deep dive on Barry Lyndon? Kubrick’s most over looked film?

@JoyceCarolOates T***p forcing corporations to give the government ownership stakes & then he & GOP calling Democrats communists is beyond parody. Shameless.

@speechboy71 @MidCenturyCinem Great ep. (Sent a text & a cup of coffee) Very fond of the movie podcast but miss your political ones. Any chance we can get move of those?

@NateSilver538 Don���t forget Sidney Crosby!

@BobSmizik Was thinking about this yesterday when Ozuna started against a RHP & later struck out twice against 2 different left handed relievers. If he’s not hitting lefties what’s the point? His bat speed is way down to the naked eye. Surely metrics confirm this.

@BobSmizik Saddest thing I ever saw in MLB was Willie Mays’ last year with the Mets. A shell of himself. Cutch should’ve learned from that & retired a few years ago

@brianros1 Cap & revenue sharing is what allows NFL teams like Green Bay, Pgh, Buffalo to compete. Same in NHL. Penguins have won 3 Cups in the cap era. Cap also significantly increases salaries for average players. Not just huge superstar contracts.

@GregTSargent Platner dresses like he thinks working class people dress. Campaign fails to mention he doesn’t come from a working class background. Just like they deluded themselves his baggage wouldn’t be a major liability in the general.

@ReichlinMelnick @JohnJHarwood Maybe he threw a Subway sandwich into the Reflecting Pool.

@KDPomp And after Jones walked two.

Also the DSA wildly overestimates the salience of Gaza in the general. The anti-Israel anti-Zionism is way over the top & wildly blind when it comes to Hamas & Hezbollah & the like & surprising dismissive of Palestinian/Arab agency.

[Harold Bloomfield @HBloom56]

@Timodc loved the pod with Maggie H & @camkasky So Platner’s supporters knew what was revealed about him & it doesn’t occur to them that will be a huge liability in the general? Mind boggling.

[Harold Bloomfield @HBloom56]

@speechboy71 For the life of me I can’t imagine what rationale Polis had for doing this. Totally incomprehensible.

[Harold Bloomfield @HBloom56]

@BobSmizik However everything about Skenes is off. Control not there. Many non-competitive pitches. A lot of hard contact. Hardly any whiffs especially when needed.

[Harold Bloomfield @HBloom56]

@BobSmizik In addition to the play at the plate Davis hurt him by failing to challenge at least 2 calls that would’ve been strike 3. Tough to do but why not take a chance on a potential 3rd strike?

[Harold Bloomfield @HBloom56]

@KDPomp Expecting a trip to the IL for him. Used to have pinpoint control. Now walks a 132 hitter. Used to get soft contact & lots of whiffs. Not so much now.

[Harold Bloomfield @HBloom56]

@brianros1 In part I think this is a by product of the success of the right wing media. Fox is just the tip of the iceberg but they all lean hard into the Dems as radicals narrative.

[Harold Bloomfield @HBloom56]

@speechboy71 How many of these queer people would be allowed to live in Gaza or any other Middle Eastern country? If found they would be jailed or executed.
