How about we figure out how to get people into office that actually serve the American people instead of lining their own pockets while robbing us blind? Staunch conservative here stating that putting more “republicans” in through “secure elections” isn’t the answer.
Read your own article, the Dodgers didn’t outspend anyone to get Skubal, they built a very deep farm system drafting after everyone else and made an offer that best fit Detroit’s needs. They are just better at the art of the deal.
The calls went out Saturday. Teams needed to submit their best-and-final offers. Tarik Skubal was being traded that day. Free at ESPN: How baseball’s economics penalize small-market teams that want to go for it and helped deliver Skubal to the Dodgers. https://t.co/CRIPhfIJhE
Great job, next dude will just erase those. How about you use the presidency and control of the house and senate to actually pass some laws @realDonaldTrump
Republicans = Democrats, sorry Trump. We need to throw ALL of you out and replace with people that actually serve our country. You are robbing us blind with your forever wars that you promised to stop and ruining our country. Need a full reboot!
President Trump warns that America will be invaded worse than Spain if Democrats take back power: “It looks like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people. And that same thing is going to happen to us if the Republicans don't get elected, except worse.”
@america And once again acts like this is Democrat vs Republican. The PEOPLE want representation that looks like them, not that gets rich looking out for themselves. If you think republicans are any better in this regard, you are a fool!
@america Making this a democrat vs republican issue is a huge mistake. This is an issue that the AMERICAN PEOPLE agree on. Try being less divisive, it may work for you!
The “end times” were 2000 years ago. People who believe they are still in the future perpetuate all the religious driven political issues we are having right now. We are fighting for and over things that will never happen.
According to the Pew Research Center, nearly 25% of people with NO religious affiliations and 9% of atheists believe we're living in the End Times. Christian minister Bill Cloud tells me he doesn't believe this is a coincidence:
“Let me give you this passage of scripture, it’s in Hosea Chapter 6: ‘Come, and let us return to the Lord; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days, He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight.’
'A day with The Lord is a 1000 years'… It’s been 2000 years, or 2 days, since The Messiah left, and it was said that He will come again… So we’re in that time, we’re at that threshold. I believe adamantly that we're coming to the end of the second prophetic day.”
if you spend a decade implementing and morally grandstanding about policies that prevent, undermine, and even vilify safety, that deny atrocity and widespread predation and danger, that serve to cover up massive grooming gang scandals and rises in crime, sorry, but you do not get to say this:
"appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. we must let the police get on with their work."
you have not sought calm, you have destroyed it. how is any reasonable person supposed to remain calm in the face of such accelerating provocation?
"i don't think the police are working, mate."
this is the flashpoint i've been yowling about for 12 months: the point where the men who just wanted to be left alone are pushed too far and decide that your system is not compatible with their social contract.
you can F around up to about a 5 and the men who just want to be left alone are not going to bring you much in the way of "find out." this causes stupid people with low move look ahead to become overconfident and thing those they bully are weak and demoralized.
they aren't. they are just reluctant because they know what it means to "do the other thing."
they wait, they tolerate, but at a certain point, they move and they move very, very hard.
perhaps a 5 on FA gets you a 1-2 FO, but the curve goes exponential from there.
you go to 6, they go to 8, you go to 7, they go to 12, and for stuff like this? there's not even a number anymore. they bring ALL the "find out" because high agency people who value a civilization will at some point go to war to defend it and the hearths and homes it serves.
the change in the world seems sudden because it is. it's a phase change, a crossing of a rubicon as an event horizon to war by all means.
and this is not the fault of those who rise, it's the fault of those who took away their rights and murdered their way of life and the safety of their children and pushed them far enough that there was no other choice.
and so clowns like kier, this is getting to be about your last chance to avoid what you are about to set off. and i hope you do because "the other thing" is as horrible as it will be complete and once it starts in earnest, there is no back, there is no "off."
and it will be on you if you force it.
The only reason this is cool is that people are itching to watch major league action weeks before the regular season starts. Having something mid season is dumb and no one will care. Top players for contenders won’t want to play and risk injury. Make me the MLB commish!!

once one has sufficiently founded their identity in ideology and faction, all evidence that contradicts that narrative will simply be ignored. the cognitive dissonance erases it from perception. a somali could steal these peoples' wallets right from their hands, and they would not see it.
“the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
people assume that this is some difficult and arduous ask by "big brother."
but it's not. the reality is that they do not need to command it at all. once you have people whose senses of self are sufficieltly dependet upon membership in an ideology, the indoctrinated will do this all on their own as a form of self-preservation.
they will deny any reality that threatens or contradicts the story they tell themselves because that story is, in the end, all they have to anchor their sense of self and without it, they are erased.
that is the true power of indoctrination and subsumation to ideas: the person who does not have ideas but rather depends upon them to have any sense of self.
this is why they strip you down, teach you self hate and hatred of your society, and then build you back up into ideology as automaton. it's cult level brainwashing of an intensity that would make chuckie manson shudder.
they erase you and then fill the lines back in with self-loathing and a set of cheap, false answers to the pain and emptiness they instilled.
life becomes a recursive bubble of belief into which no outside information may penetrate.
i do not envy these people the deprogramming they have to come. it will be the roughest of rides. reality does not go away just because you deny it. that's kind of the point...
