Proud to be woke because I care about social justice. Paying taxes is a high class problem. Vote because you care about others and recognize that other people can do well and make society better

I broke down and joined here. Looking forward to carrying on the good fight

Call me an optimist, but I think things on the right are falling apart very swiftly and Trump’s air of invincibility is a few months shy of life support. That said, I am wrong a lot.

I don’t “know” anything, but the Yankee payroll plus luxury tax is $378 million. They have to fund minor leagues and team operations, likely another $100 million. Ticket sales are huge, but likely cover stadium operations
No clue what their revenue is, but I think no profits is a plausible outcome

there is zero chance the Yankees failed to turn a profit in any year, but especially in 2025 when they were coming off a World Series appearance. If an MLB owner says he lost money, that's like me saying I can fly. You should insist on proof.
(I can't fly, just so no one asks me to demonstrate.)

MAGA dimwit Pete Hegseth thinks he's pleasing the Audience of One by "fighting back" but all he's doing is drawing more attention to the question of whether Trump is issuing illegal orders, which was the whole point of the Dem video in the first place.

The 77 people murdered were “noncombatants” (unarmed and not attacking anyone)
Their boats had ranges of 200 miles or less and they were 1000 miles from the US
Killing them is clearly illegal

BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

I highly recommend Del Toro’s Frankenstein on Netflix. He made changes to the novel to make the film far more interesting and touching. Really good, right up there with Sinners as one of the best of 2025

What do Brits know about what is legal, anyway?
Oh, yeah, they are the home of the Magna Carta and “common law”
They know a lot, and they agree that extrajudicial killings with no evidence and no due process are patently illegal

One other point I didn't make here: Allies like Britain believe the US is carrying out illegal bombings. Who are we effing kidding? Of course its reasonable to think Trump is issuing illegal orders! Why is this being treated as such a controversial suggestion?
Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*
