The GOP is going to steal the election coming up in November, and they will steal the presidential election in '24. They are not pretending anything otherwise.
Just as we are ignoring the climate emergency,
We are ignoring the election emergency.
Democrats cannot rest on their laurels just because we got a bill passed. Abortion is illegal in half the country, and at least ten states are ready, willing & able to subvert the ill of voters in November.
There's no time to waste,
This is not the time to act as though this upcoming election will be anything other than utterly & completely unprecedented.
The crazies are ALREADY LAYING THE GROUNDWORK.
No Republican is going to accept defeat, ANYWHERE.
For decades now, people have suggested that future wars will be fought over water. This is not likely for several reasons.
Water is distinctly difficult to move, like, say oil or gas.
However, water is very different from the two main liquids that we transport in that we need to move much more water than oil or gas. That's why the NY State Aqueduct project is so massive, with three 18-foot in diameter aqueducts running over 90 miles.
There is no way to "steal" water through invasion.
The only way you could envision some kind of "war" scenario would involve invading a northern territory, killing all of its inhabitants, and then guarding the rivers for thousands of miles to ensure all the water gets to you.
Judge’s 200th homer came in his 671st career game, behind just Philadelphia's Ryan Howard, who achieved the feat in 2009 in 658 games.
Interestingly, both of these guys came up as old.
Howard hit 2 HR as a rookie when he was 24.
Judge hit 4 HR as a rookie when he was 24.
Judge hit 52 the next year, setting the true rookie record. Ryan hit 58 in his 3rd year. Ryan holds the record for fastest to 100 and 200 HRs.
If you understand baseball, if you understand how athletes age, it is easy to see why Cashman is reluctant here.
a ten-year deal for a soon-to-be 30-year-old player is a terrible baseball business decision. For a 6' 7" giant who weighs 270-plus pounds, well, the historical comps are simply awful.
The odds that this is the absolute pinnacle of Judge's career are 3-1, at worst.
.343, .324 & .352 BA, leading the league once, and when he hit .352, Boggs sat out his last series at .354, Mattingly went 7 for 12 and almost caught him.
He led the league in SLG% once, OPS once, and total bases twice.
The on-stop bullshit about Biden's Afghanistan "failure" mirrored the non-stop bullshit about Hilary, the non-stop bullshit about Obama, the non-stop bullshit about Bill Clinton...
It is a categorical failure, and it is why the GOP remains a problem.
The GOP remains a problem even though the things they stand for, the laws they pass, and the people that they actually ARE, are deeply unpopular, and in many cases, abhorrent.
MSM treats their insanity, their fear-mongering, their lies, and their violence as normal.
