Trump bankrupting a casino has moved from something I could not for the life of me simply understand HOW he did that - to probably the most logical outcome of anything he’s ever done.
Reviving the Indianapolis Clowns tradition, partnering with the Negro Leagues Museum, and getting former pro players all seem like great ideas... might move the needle positive for me, as I'm indifferent/slightly negative on Banana Ball. I'd absolutely pay to see Ichiro (bad ex?) in a game RIGHT NOW
From Fenway to Banana Ball: Jackie Bradley Jr., 2018 World Series champ, joins Indianapolis Clowns
The Indianapolis Clowns selected Bradley at No. 1 as part of the inaugural Banana Ball draft Thursday night.

Can't get past the nickname explanation. Is he patting himself on the back for a zinger? Thinks the joke is so advanced (it's "science"!) it'll go over people's heads? Too clever? Why grass catching strays? All this to call MTG rotten?
And I love that his ego also prevents intelligence (w/laziness)

With his boat taking on water, Trump is having to complain as much about Republicans (Paul, Massie, Greene, etc.) as he is Democrats.

Always kinda felt when placing a bet, “could it be rigged, and if so, how?” is just another in a multitude of factors to ignore or inform the bet. Actually, sounds like a “funny” betting strategy to explore…. Given rigging games has been happening forever, even before 1919.

Grimly... funny's the wrong word, but you know what I mean... thing is I still don't think this was some overarching convoluted blackmail scheme or anything like that. These people are all just rich and powerful perverts, and also idiots, and so gravitated to the guy who was happy to cater to them.

Trump canceled a meeting with Democratic leaders and refuses to negotiate in good faith. HE wants a shutdown. Remember: Trump himself said the president is accountable for a shutdown. The blame is his.
