Whether you are on the mound, behind the plate, in the batters box, on the top step of the dugout or in the bleachers there is only one pitch that matters:
the next pitch!⚾️
@bthompson48 you’re going to mention hockey fights in St Louis and not day Tony Twist?
I mean he has exactly as many goals as you had hits…
That’s gotta mean something 🤨
The E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump is one of the strangest civil cases in American history. The foundational problem is this: Carroll could not identify when the alleged incident occurred — not even the year with any precision.
That should have killed the case as dead as a skunk on the road right there.
Without a temporal anchor, no defendant — regardless of guilt or innocence — can mount an alibi defense. Trump, who has maintained detailed calendars and staff records for decades, was denied the most basic tool of self-defense: the ability to establish where he was. That is not a technicality. It is a due process violation at the constitutional level.
Then Carroll produced the one piece of physical evidence she claimed corroborated her account — the dress she wore during the alleged incident. It was subsequently established that the dress was designed after the incident could have occurred. The sole corroborating evidence falsified her timeline.
The case proceeded anyway.
The resulting verdict was then weaponized in a defamation suit — where Trump was held liable for denying the allegation, while being procedurally barred from defending against it, because it was already "proven" in another court, regardless how flawed the procedure was. He was punished, in effect, for asserting his own innocence.
Compounding everything: coordinated professional and physical threats so thoroughly intimidated the legal community that attorneys refused these cases regardless of available fees. When you systematically destroy a defendant's ability to retain counsel of choice, you forfeit the right to a legitimate verdict.
An allegation is not evidence. Process without substance is not law. And a verdict produced under these conditions carries no legitimate authority — whatever its formal status.
Not only is it the right move to investigate Carroll, but every other person involved as well. Trump is owed serious damages here, and there may be a few people who belong in prison for their roles in the case.
@professororock under the bridge by Red Hot chili peppers was released in February 92. Bill Clinton was not elected until 9 months later & not inaugurated as president until nearly a year later. When the single was released, he was still a relatively unknown small state governor.
@BasebaIlKing Of course, using the on pace for metric on 1 May is not dubious at all. Ohtani is in the NL, shouldn’t have any effect on Judge winning in the MVP of the AL. But you know that so it seems you are making a case that we shouldn’t have two great players at the same time.
This is not an SNL skit. This is how the United States government spent your money when the Democrats had power. The people who did this all belong in an insane asylum.
