@OleTimeHardball It’s gotta be the Babe. His numbers are just so extreme measures against everybody else’s numbers back then and even sense. And he was smashing home runs in the dead ball era.

@GabrielFig76616 @MattWallace888 Thanks for sharing! I can see your posts since August 2024 are deeply personal.

When he was asked to prove it, he lost his mind.
California and America, now you see the Republican playbook. Because they can’t get what they want, the destruction of our representative democracy, they claim it’s all a fraud without any proof.
WITHOUT ANY PROOF.

@miketdny @TheOnlyEsta @ScottPelley @CBS That’s WHY he left. He couldn’t respect his new bosses because they combine ignorance of the TV news magazine medium with arrogance. And he knows this management reflects the new owners.

@TheOnlyEsta Self-absorbed

@JimHunt1464487 @MaryLTrump Wow, he must have gotten in so much better shape from fighting!

@rober_mad10 @isaacrrr7 A concrete sidewalk and curbs, onto which her head could easily have slammed. At that point, any remorse on his part for doing nothing would have come too late.

@Damaan4u33 @WollastonWntr63 As commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he probably will not be allowed to attend his own July concert, given that servicemen must have a 37” waist, max, and a triangular shoulders to hips ratio.

@CynicalPublius You don’t go for a smart pool of followers. You want a large pool. You don’t talk politics, not really. Not even “culture.” Mostly just the dumbest stuff from the last couple days. You, CP, are a bundle of affectations. But I guess there is a certain consistency in that.

@moxyblakfiddler @hovah76 I love watching her. Particularly her passing. But a lot of her fans are not basketball fans.

@AmazingPopPod One of the great character actors.

@FoxNews This is like a land surveyor setting up over point A (Mace wishing there were fewer Dem reps to compete against), sighting point B (imagining what others “may be thinking”which is off by a foot, then extending a half mile from point B to establish point C (what ought to be done).

@Suzierizzo1 He’s from an earlier era that now seems dated, but I don’t see how anyone could top Carson. Others have been funny. But his skill at repartee and his ability to blend seamlessly and instantly between serious and very lighthearted is still unsurpassed.

@CrystalBallBets @realphilhendrie Vernon Dozier was pretty good with rage. So was the Korean War veteran.

@lundinbridge He did do that. He also came back during a famine to hand out peanuts to the hungry.

@RobSchneider @FBI Not to have embedded people in an angry mob of thousands would have been a dereliction of duty.

@OleTimeHardball Steve was in my dorm at Eckerd College. Good guy, very quiet. His long balls were devastating.

@Mythicalblue_ The lesson to the kid is not, “This man should be your role model.” The lesson is, “Welcome to the world, kid.”
