Been much happier since syncing Dodger radio call to tv. Rick Monday is analyst! He ain’t shy & he’s got a pretty keen baseball mind. Good info; not blather.
Watched it. Liked what I saw. Will not be able to endure Garrison handling the ball so much in backcourt & out on the floor. Moreno is going to be GOOD.

Have already muted the World Series television broadcast. Too much jabber generally & too much about pitching minutiae in particular. May sync to Dodger radio call. #WorldSeries
For the record, am for the Dodgers. NL man with few exceptions, none applicable. #WorldSeries

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
Great reporting by @sylviaruthg.lpm.org here. Another bitter, insecure Republican candidate who should be in therapy, not elective office.
Trial run for fascist election interference in 2026.

Disgraceful & flatly wrong.
INBOX: Per the Tennessee AG's office, Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman signed on to an amicus brief in the birthright citizenship case, arguing the 14th Amendment does not provide automatic citizenship to everyone born in the U.S.

WaPo: From the Nixon Tapes to not being able to spell a second grade vocabulary word
Washington Post editorial board: Right-wing idiots who also cannot spell.
The deranged felon sociopath could not be clearer that he & his fascist gangster regime will not surrender power regardless of election results.
Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

"No, destroying the White House is not as bad as blowing up boats carrying possibly innocent people. It’s not as bad as corrupting the Justice Department. It’s not as menacing as sending troops into American cities. And yet, this hurt is sharp."

Trump’s Mar-a-White House
The president is desecrating a symbol of liberal democracy and replacing it with a tacky, bloated eyesore.

Great game everyone. See you again when the playoffs start. Will be following but rarely watching more than clips until then.
Wow. Sheppard defending SGA on consecutive possessions late in OT. Forced long missed threes on both.
Was a great NBA season opener … until the video reviews began.

Demolishing the White House and just demanding straight up cash from the Treasury. 10 months in.
The New York Times describes Trump demanding his own Justice Department pay him $230 million as a "potential" ethical conflict.
SGA needs to be a little more SHA now.
Sheppard still having trouble defending drivers. May dictate his minutes more than any other factor.
Reggie’s promiscuous & unnecessary use of “here” & “there” has replaced his prefacing almost every comment with, “I’ll tell you what…” as his most annoying habit. Obscures his good points. Could be so easily corrected.
Reggie Miller off to a great start for NBC: “What a shot Chet took HERE, on the back door cut HERE.”

Hear, hear!
I sure do miss post play in basketball. Back in the day, battles between supremely talented big men decided games.
