Republicans knowingly and desperately support tyranny. Anyone who votes for a Republican is an enemy. Not since the Confederacy has the United States faced such unresolvable differences. America will not be safe until they're defeated in battle. Can't vote our way to freedom.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

Joel, the franchise has a backasswards philosophy on baseball. If we hit 5 home runs, we win. If we don't, we lose. They've created this chaos on purpose. They believe in these types of moves. Even though it doesn't work, hasn't worked, and has massively delayed player development.
