Ethnic cleansing is a filthy phrase that should not be used in this context. Ethnic killing, ethnic persecution, ethnic removal, or any other appropriately accurate description. There is nothing clean or cleansing about what it is used to describe. Using it helps to sanitize evil.

Fuel to consistently build mediocrity. I look at him now as caring only about the valuation of his franchise, not championships.

Trump is responsible for her death. She believed his lies and paid for that with her life.

When ego drives decision making, results are poor. Jerry Jones is supposedly a persuasive person. Sadly those kinds of people are the first to be persuaded by their choices. He is now officially just a clown. Until the grim reaper gets him the Cowboys have no chance.

I was not impressed by the omission of Russian oppression of the Ukrainian people that has been happening for at least 100 years. Neither was the imperialist invasion of Georgia in 2008, nor the annexation of the Crimean peninsula in 2014. Stopping this naked imperialism is driving policy.

All of your points are legitimate, as I said you can individually dissent and with an assembly of other dissenters. This does not change the fact that the elected government represents where the country is in history. It makes me sad and angry to see what America is to the world today.
Rich Adam (@richdadam.bsky.social) reply parent
Sad to say, but if you elect your leaders it is who you are as a country. You can disagree individually. But Israel is what its government is doing. The same can be said for America. We are a country with masked goon squads snatching people off the street.

I seriously wonder about Bailey’s vision. He has flat missed so many pitches this season… as the catcher.
Rich Adam (@richdadam.bsky.social) reply parent
Flores carried them in April and after that nobody stepped up to be clutch. Devers is a good add. He has not been himself as a Giant. They got some young players for Tyler Rogers who they could resign I give Posey high marks so far. The players have underperformed.

Baseball savant would not agree. They put him at 0 OAA (outs above average) at 2B. Considering he’s learning on the fly, not bad. My eye tells me to disagree with your “not great” assertion as well. He has a higher ceiling than Koss or Fitzgerald. I like what I see in Koss too.

Tax is not accurate. Tariffs are inflationary. Money goes into the government coffers from goods imported. That increases the cost of goods to businesses. Businesses protect profits by increasing prices. Calling it a tax is deniable to those who wish to defend their fearless leader.

This was a necessary purge. Rogers was rock solid. Doval was very talented but flawed in some fundamental areas. Yaz was a complete player but not productive enough offensively. This team was in need of an emotional earthquake to hopefully reset because the past month has been wretched.

This is a flagrant reminder that the United States government has been bought. What the Israeli government is doing in Gaza and in the West Bank is evil. We are enabling this evil.

Giants are not a good baseball team. So many chances, zero results. I was hoping that things would turn around, but when they need it, not happening.

He is nothing more than a team red mouthpiece. He was previously able to express dislike for Trump but now just a red zombie.

This is the perfect contrast between competence and dishonest goonery. Tim Scott, what an embarrassment.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Well, I hope the Giants woke up Harper for this weekend against the Padres. I think I almost saw you in June Lake a couple of years ago, but a hurricane remnant got in the way. Got to see Achilles Wheel so I didn’t get shut out.

Thx for that. That sounds very solid, to be fair to him. To be fair to the Giants offense, I stand by the rest of my statement. Long stretches of void. Hope they turn it around.

Rich Adam (@richdadam.bsky.social) reply parent
Giants are making middling pitchers look dominant too often. The offense has disappeared for long stretches way too much. The games are torture because they only one or two innings per game, many games they only threaten in one or two innings. Not to mention the bases loaded no outs failures.

I am always inspired to hear or read the text of the Declaration of Independence. It is a hopeful and aspirational document. I was rescued by it from the feelings you described.

nbcsportsbayarea.app.link/RlNyZCoDEUb This is outrageous. If the Diamondbacks cannot provide a fair and competitive environment, the game should be forfeited. The batter was initially called out. A d-backs fan has an incentive to interfere. Five time offender, ridiculous.

Games are played for fun. Fun is subjective and difficult to precisely define. Conference rooms are usually filled with people who want to impress, so they talk about things that have hard definitions.

Thx for that explanation. However, Trump is not afraid of god. All of the elected leaders line up behind Israel regardless of the behavior of the Israeli government. Politicians will cheat on their spouse or steal without fear. Fear of something I guess, Adam Kinzinger probably knows.

Could someone please explain to me why the United States government has done the bidding of the government of Israel for decades? Democratic administrations and republican administrations both seem to bow to the wishes of the state of Israel. It ain’t America first.
