It's time for this thread. It can no longer be ignored what the Republican party is doing and how miserably they are failing. Yes, vote suppression has been going on for decades Trump/MAGA craziness has brought on a new level of brazenness and lawlessness from the Grand Ole Party of Lincoln...

Is this the best Braves team ever? If not the best, they've put themselves in the conversation. I don't know all the history but there haven't been many teams who have played a better first half of the season. And they don't seem to be over-performing that much. They are just very good...

Manhood Absentia - Gone Away What is it about men in the MAGA movement??? So many seem to be, in one way or another, in a crisis of manhood. Chicken Little Josh Hawley thinks the world needs a book from him on the subject. Could he really be that stupid? Don Jr. wants a new kind of Men's...

Seems to have landed like a giant bolder in the back of Rudy Giuliani. And several years too late. I think they would've done better to just forget it.

So much fraud and death around this prominent man. What a history his family has. A trial like this 30 years ago would've been the only thing people were talking about. Now with so much chaos and killing on a daily basis, it doesn't register as even interesting news. Has judicial...

Thomas J. Fitton is an American conservative activist and the president of Judicial Watch. * A liberal arts English major who has no knowledge of the law, as his losing record in court shows. But he's getting some real life experience. * Spewer of fraudulent legal theories that have gotten...

And how did he make, finagle or steal $11 million in 2021? It's probably just a coincidence that he got rich and became very pro-Putin in a very short period of time.

This is so American - creating and then totally buying into the fiction. https://www.mlb.com/news/white-sox-excited-to-play-in-field-of-dreams-game Things you may not know about Field of Dreams. Following Ray Kinsella's lead, the baseball-obsessed Costner has even built his own field, too...

Rudy conferring with Russian agent. More collusion. What are the coming charges? Is this only about Marie Yovanovich, not that attacking an American official abroad is a small thing? If that's what this is it was a big mistake on Rudy's part. Trump could have removed Yovanovich on his own.

I first titled this "Dirty Republicans", but when it comes to sure 'nuff ugly corruption, it's all the same to me. And there is so much to choose from on any typical news day and really, it doesn't matter what stripe they are. All real accounts of dirty low-down politicians welcome. Some say...

Is it possible to deconstruct the claims? Here's Hawley's spiel on Pennsylvania: Hawley said that he objected to Biden’s win because Pennsylvania failed to follow its own state election laws. "You have a state constitution that has been interpreted for over a century to say that there is...

This really needs its own thread and I feel the topic is going to be in the news for a long time, regardless of the outcome in Nov.

New BBC or Frontline documentary on the Iraq War. Hope it's available in the state. Just started watching. Excellent video footage.

A one man show of MS senator John Stennis It's surprisingly good and relevant to all fans of U.S. history. The actor is a friend from university who I knew as a serious journalist and dramatist. "The senator never learned to whisper."

Has everyone seen this? Very interesting and well-done, imo, but I've only watched about half so far. Surprised at all the F-bombs they let into the final cut, but glad they did. I knew of Pippen's displeasure but not the extent of it and certainly not the deep dislike of Jerry Krause by...

DOB's Athletic column on the battle at 3B makes it sound like they've practically decided on Riley already but the logic seems incomplete. They talk about Riley's plate discipline and pitch recognition while Camargo is hitting well so far too. They talk of Camargo's weight and defensive range...

I learned a new word today: intubate - insert a tube into (a person or a body part, especially the trachea for ventilation). The new Calf patient who doesn't know how she contracted the virus has been intubated, meaning she is in serious condition and having trouble breathing. That sounds a...

Sarah Sanders says Trump has been good to "people of faith". I think we all need to stop and think about this. If this is true, then these people are a major threat to any decent, modern society. Trump's policies are not conducive to a healthy, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic reality, and if...

I thought there was another thread on this but couldn't find it. This one is very, very good, on the history of country music and folks who made it. Cocaine and Rhinestones
