SC - Thank you for the Bonnie dis-cord.

Sears is a force to be reckoned with. It was a nice turn of the moderator's "gotcha" question into a more important question for her opponent. Jones may end up being the hill Spanberger chooses to die on. So be it - they can both go down with the ship (Spanberger and Jones, that is).

Man, that was a hell of a game. One of those where you wish both teams could win. Good luck to the Mariners!

A day later, the Cubs and Brewers also score 4 runs, but all on solo homers.

A good game but not nearly as exciting.

The only semi-recent game that comes close for me is the Royals/As 2014 Wild Card game.

It's not the Royals winning, but at least it's the Tigers losing! :)

I hadn't paid this much attention to a game this decade. Nice to see "small ball" come back.

There haven't been many M's playoff games, but they tend to play after the 9th when they get there.

Well, the 2-inning sprint to the finish has stretched to 7 innings - not sure how many more innings I have in me, the eyes are getting pretty gritty. The Mr. went and got more snacks - maybe the chewing will help!

I saw the cameras showing several fans with hands folded, prayerful-like. Not sure if the Mr.'s brothers are still at the game, haven't heard from them in awhile.

EDIT: And as soon as I posted, one of them texted me "Crazy game!!"

Virginia has been disappointing. I do not know what is with the ppl here.

Virginia used to be very republican, very very conservative.

Now it is swarming with immigrants from India (tech industry) and they vote democrat... I think. Or someone else is voting for them

How many times are we going to hear, "we won't have a country next year if Trump [insert vapid threat]..."? At least they're admitting that it's all about power openly now.

The unfortunate part is that all of it matters so very little to the people who will vote for Spamburger, etc., because knowing what we do about the majority of them, is that the amount of brain cells devoted to actually thinking about politics and policies ranks in the single digits. "Socialism" is easy to stand by when you're already a spoiled brat. I'm confounded on how to get past the willful ignorance and blissful stupidity.

Gavin Newscum is such a whore for people to like him he’d try anything if you told him it’d make him popular. The only people who vote for him are the people who want the destruction of California and the USA, and those who are severely brainwashed.

The clip from last night’s debate tells you everything you need to know about the left…they want us dead, dying, and if not those two, permanently incarcerated in death camps where we will eventually be dead and dying!

Thanks for giving us an uplifting ending with your sweet Bonnie ❤️

I'm sure I've said it before, but he just imitates what successful people have done without understanding why it worked. Oh, Trump went on podcasts so I'll go on podcasts. Oh, Trump cusses so let's out-cuss Trump!

This does sound legit since he’s a far cry from the intellectual he fancies himself being. Speaking of dimwits, I’ve long thought Newscum and Mark Cuban were separated at birth…for whatever that’s worth 😆

The ad that she put out is even more devastating, splicing two different segments of the debate together:

Very good parallel, and especially hilarious considering Kamala's "jerk store"-type response almost a year later.

“I wish I could have gotten the message across that there isn’t a distinction between ‘they/them’ and ‘you,’ The pronoun that matters is ‘we.’ We the people.”

Short on time… so I’m just nominating Gavin Newsome as hands down the biggest asshole on the planet. I’m sure the not so noble people from Norway would agree with me, but watching his diatribes are down right disturbing! His feigned “indignant anger” is hysterical

Mrs. M, you took the words out of my mouth. Now imagine suffering seven years of this huckster as your state governor. I have outrage overdose. I can hardly dredge up any emotion for what this phony says and does. The best thing that can happen is for him to be exposed nationally for the absolute charlatan that he is, so that his political career ends next year.

All the “Men” (if they can define that) in the Dem party are trying to mimic the toxic masculinity present in the Republican Party

It would be hilarious if he weren't tacitly issuing civil war marching orders. The party of abortion and euthanasia lacks the moral clarity to dismiss his claims as the over-the-top hyperbole it clearly is and will act more and more like a cornered animal. These are dangerous times and he is making them more dangerous, even if he is a buffoon.

Agreed. This draconian threat that there will not be an election in 2028…. It’s over the top and if people succumb to such obvious fear mongering, our collective intelligence and constitution are crumbling. It’s just so f$#@ing stupid.
