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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
