Praise the gospel: (irony is compelling)
@cathygellis Mmm, the pitch clock is a desperate, self destructive attempt by MLB to maintain post pandemic media market share. Oh wait, I guess that means I vote 1 & 2
@mmasnick Mike, love your feed. This is priceless
@Teri_Kanefield Trump is posturing for political or fundraising advantage, and like the insurrection, a hopefully delusional wish that a mob of angry supporters will over turn the rule of law
@Teri_Kanefield Another lesson in coping with contingencies beyond our control. Thx Teri for the perspective. IMHO, in terms of public significance, the meaningful aspect of arrest is that a GJ will close, and formal prosecution starts. ( And the resulting MSM and social media cacophony will be a story itself).
@doctorow @dangillmor "Some days, it's hard to have hope. Some days, it's so obvious that everybody knows, all that I can muster is fury. Fury is not a full substitute for hope, but it'll do. It's a far superior alternative to the fatalism"
@jeffjarvis from the article “MA plans are a disgrace to the Medicare program, and I encourage anyone signing up..to avoid these plans because they do NOT have the patients best interest in mind. They are here to make a profit. Period.”
@failedLyndonLaRouchite @Teri_Kanefield That said, the system and it's principals give deference and respect to the wealthy and powerful, and Garland is part of that. Plenty of examples of that aside from Trump, including prominent D & R figures. Short of video of bribery, It's usually a personal judgement whether a particular prosecution or non- prosecution is reasonable or appropriate.
