The amounts they made — and grew their careers away for—seem like peanuts next to multi million salaries. Some form of psychosis at work here. But wow, do leagues need to get a handle on sports betting.
From @TheAthletic: An indictment of MLB pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz reveals texts, calls and a money trail that connect the two with several bettors who placed wagers on their pitches. nyti.ms/4nLWl6I
Again, simple question: if you don’t get this promised vote will you resign that day or wait one more until you can clean out your office?
If you set out to appoint someone not only utterly unqualified but also destructively arrogant, rude, and deliberately provocative, you could not find a more perfect man.

Dude, you just won a clean sweep of elections nationwide, were you napping w Donald? Those ppl stood up to him and won. What kind of leader openly says standing up for ppl who elected me doesn’t work, so I give up?
Won’t work because Trumps likes this guy. He is the ultimate toady. He says “ whatever you want, sir” before Trump can even ask. And Trump owes him for breaking every rule to keep Dem out of House and Epstein info buried.
Again, the question to Angus should be: if tens of millions lose their health care anyway, will you resign that day or wait until you can pack up your office?
If people write this off as too much, even for Trump, they’ve been living in a cave. He believes he can commit any outrage and get his propaganda media and toadies to back him as he slides by. In this case, he will do if he calculates this is only way to protect HIMSELF.

Messages Trump will get from this data
1)these polls are RIGGED!
2)everybody knows I have best economy ever!
3)No way we have reg midterms w numbers like this!
4)Can’t have fair election! Gerrymander, ID voters, sue!
5)Maybe NO election at all?
6)National emergency! War, anybody?
She forgot the last part: “And if that doesn’t happen. I will resign.”
Bill Carter retweeted
Shaheen on Fox & Friends: "I believe there are number of Republicans who are gonna join us in trying to address healthcare costs ... we are gonna be able to continue to right about healthcare because we're gonna have a vote in December."
Johnson will try to delay this until after Dec 2 special election in Tennessee where Repub is virtually lock to win. His vote would cancel hers. Not sure how he will finesse this one . Congress who’ve been out for months now need long break for Thanksgiving?
The part of this take that makes sense is Repub effort to blow up ppl’s healthcare is locked in. They’ll drive cost thru the roof, destroy cost of living w ZERO plan for sensible healthcare reform. Ought to be death knell for midterms-except Trump will make rigging top priority.

This is literally abt using hunger of children as political leverage. Anything to force the Libs to capitulate is worth doing no matter who suffers. Easy q is: what is wrong with these ppl? But they don’t live in the realm of right+wrong. They live completely in realm of them+us
Little-known facts: Lincoln played Top Hat golf at his private Illinois hideaway on weekends, threw lavish Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar-themed toga parties to escape the Civil War stress and fell into naps visiting amputees at war hospitals. Talk abt lazy next to the great Trump!
He says tariffs aren’t taxes; he says everyone loves his gilded decorating; he says Portland has burned to the ground, has boarded up all its stores. Why does anyone outside the cult believe anything he says?
Ppl should note Trump’s physical decline irrespective of the Biden situation. B was too old and should not have tried to get 4 more yrs in that condition. Same for this guy. Some ppl can be fully competent around 80. Post 80? Being President? Be reasonable, folks.
They’re ordered to pay SNAP; instead of complying they appeal. Why? Vance says it directly: the American ppl are going to feel the pain. This is NOT abt interests of the ppl, it’s abt using every sort of leverage to “win” vs Dems. They don’t care if ppl lose long as they win.
Good luck. We just saw how some more tempered Trump toadies fared in blue states. Next we get to see how a full-bore Trump IDOLATER will do. Betting line? Plus 20 points?

Trump ppl sound almost exactly like Biden’s trying to point to stock market and macro factors ( tho Trump doesn’t even have strong job growth) while ppl just know they re hurting personally and don’t give a damn abt macro stats.
