Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A.
If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.
Just called my dad.
He had no idea about the Somali fraud. Zero.
He said he couldn’t believe he hadn’t heard about it on the news and that it wasn’t a bigger story.
…so many people haven’t woken up to the truth yet, including my dad, who I love dearly
What you think should make the news, doesn’t make the news.
I, like my dad, thought the news was just, “whatever story is the biggest…”
If it's a big enough deal, surely the news will cover it.
I was wrong.
…the “news” isn’t a mirror of reality's biggest stories
It’s a FILTER.
My dad, like so many good people I know, is just living a normal life… trusting that if something is TRULY important, someone will tell him.
And that, that is the trap.
They don’t need to convince you of a lie...
...they just need to make sure you never hear the truth.
Once you see that, you can't unsee it.
It changes everything.
President Trump is ushering in a new era of maximum transparency. Today, per his direction, previously redacted JFK Assassination Files are being released to the public with no redactions. Promises made, promises kept. https://t.co/UnG1vkgxjX
The DNC is silencing people who are protesting the undemocratic installation of an unelected nominee by the donor class with "Do you want Trump to win?"
But this year, we have another choice. Republicans are not the majority in this country. Democrats are not the majority either. Independents are the majority. The false dichotomy is rammed down the throat of the electorate through concerted propaganda on corporate media, whose advertisers fund both parties, to make sure the corporate oligarchy wins every time. #Kennedy24
