'55, '59, '63, '65, '81, '88, and now 2020.
What a year. What a season. What a team.
Congratulations @Dodgers

One day — July 25, 2017 — shows how @realdonaldtrump and his family have turned their Secret Service protection into a moneymaker for their private business.
On that day, Trump Org did business with the US govt in 3 countries at the same time.
Here’s how:

The Republican Party supports federal militia attacking veterans of the US military protesting peacefully while their President does nothing to protect active duty troops from Russian bounties.

Here’s an idea for the president. We can apparently solve the issue of undocumented immigrants by just not counting them?

While the pandemic spikes here worse than anywhere on Earth, other countries are back to normal.
135,000 Americans are dead. The economy is shattered. There's no end in sight.
And the president:

A rule of thumb: If you're lying about nonexistent voter fraud, if you're limiting polling places, if you're forcing people to line up to vote in a pandemic, even the old and the infirm, then it seems you're basically admitting most Americans don't want you to be president.

We abandoned national testing.
We abandoned contact tracing.
We have made not wearing a mask a symbol of freedom.

OMFG. Democratic Election Commissioner @benniejsmith, learned for the first time a month or two ago—by reading Shelby County, TN’s new voting system RFP—that the county has a “MIRROR” ELECTION SERVER AT AN UNDISCLOSED REMOTE LOCATION. Pls listen to Smith (below). ⬇️ 1/

It seems to come down to this: The baseball owners, who have made billions and been given sweetheart leases and absurd tax breaks and the legal freedom to run a monopoly, are unwilling to give back even a little to their communities and support the very game that they represent.

70% porated salaries for 72 games is the same thing as 100% porated salaries for 48 games. That’s 24 games.
They’re willing to go to war with the players, the people who actually make their sport a profitable endeavor, over paying them for 24 games. That should be the headline.

Also, @realDonaldTrump is malignantly crazy.
Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?

I’ve tried to see both sides in MLB labor negotiations over the years. But this has become obvious to me: the players are right to hold their ground at previously agreed-to prorated salaries. And the league should honor that while striving to give fans as many games as possible.

If ANTIFA is a terrorist organization, does that mean Trump is going to give them weapons and try to sell them a hotel?
