Not only should people be fired for what happened, some of them should be arrested. This should never have been allowed to happen. www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

It was free, because apparently it's the equivalent of a holding call.

John Oliver lists off just some of Ken Paxton’s scandals: “Paxton spent nearly 9 years under indictment for securities fraud... He was also accused of bribery and abuse of office by eight of his own top deputies... But wait, because I'm still not done.”

This guy seems pretty cool. I named him Bob. (Unless it's a girl, then I named her Bob.)

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

I was going to do a "back in my day" on how we had guys like Max Scherzer who finished what they started, but then I noticed he had 12 CG in 501 appearances and I got nostalgic for the 1980 Oakland A's instead.

He so badly wants to blow Trump that he'll keep repeating these lines until he gets his chance.

The bar to a good relationship with Trump is that he's an insane narcissist and war criminal who can't be trusted on any subject.

Have subscribed to the Athletic for years. Never, ever read anything he writes. He's a joke. Not sure why they run his stuff. It's worthless.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Yep, I remember protesting against going to war. I don't remember anyone apologizing for calling us unAmerican after most of the country eventually came to agree the war was stupid and predicated on lies.

Still remember one of the managers in our office walking around telling people they needed to get back to work. (Not much longer after that they closed the office and sent everyone home for the day.)
