I really want to know what caused Graham to just straight up go from hating Trump to worshipping the ground he walks on.
Probably just wants to avoid a primary race against a trumpkin.

Very strange season to say the least. Pythagorean win-loss (which I admit I know very little about it) indicates this team should be 18-26 but instead it is 24-20. -Elias diaz has 1 double and 2 walks in 55 plate appearances.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/josh-bell-now-with-power/ Fangraphs finally tackles Bell's absurd start to the season. They seem to be attributing it to Bell maintaining a consistent stance from the left side. The interesting part I think is that, he was more or less a complete mess as a LH Hitter, but ...

I liked the quick pan of the sprout as Jon left the Wall; Winter is over
I thought about this some more. The wall will melt.. there is no more Night's Watch. Sorry, troy
I said, that Jon will end up exiled to the Night's Watch or go live north of the wall with Tormund.

I was double right.

Would this, in your opinion, also expand to members of Congress as well? it should, but it wouldn't be as pertinent, as an individual congressman has much less ability to dictate policy. The problem with all of this is foreign policy. The executive has basically full discretion in that realm and we...

I hated it.

Jon killing Dany, sure that's fine, pretty clearly how that was supposed to go. But that **** meeting in the dragon pit? With Tyrion convincing a bunch of turds to name Bran king? GTFO. Then a frigging King's council with Tyrion, Davos, Bronn and Samwell. Shoot me.

I took it as Jon getting sent to the Night’s Watch so Grey Worm would finally **** off and get off everyone’s ass. Jon quite obviously peaced out with the Freefolk and went North of the Wall, which seems like a fitting end for him. There was also Yara at the council saying he deserved justice. Eith...

Just saw that the padres pulled their ace out of the game today, and now have to do a bullpen game. And that’s after basically doing a bp game yesterday. So, hopefully Musgrove doesn’t bomb and they could take this series against the Padres. I predicted this road trip to be a disaster and they’ve al...

More or less, the story is being driven almost fully by Dany, Jon, Tyrion and Jamie. There really wasn't anything happening with the story beyond those four. Out of the five episodes so far, two were spent almost entirely on battle scenes and episode two was a nothing episode. There's just been so l...

If the intent of discussion is to change people's minds, I agree, it's pointless. However, if it's people coming in with open minds to try to understand why others hold the views they do, it could be very enlightening. Guinness seemed to approach it that way. Changing people's minds isn't going to ...
