I will forever be grateful for the 2016 Cubs, giving me and all Cubdom a World Series Championship

There was not one loss of any of the 25 that I “mourned”, trades and free agency *is* Baseball, never missed any of them, even as I love them all

Also, Schwabs’ ABs are always must see

Chicago, for all practical purposes, is occupied by an American dictator’s will

Oswego Willy @oswegowilly.bsky.social · 3h

I don’t think they are going to leave, no matter what judge says “what” tomorrow

They’re going to be here for an extended period, starting with 60 days

There’s no one to enforce whatever the judge decides, it’s the Wild West toward any constitutional law

The TRO miss, “whew”

If the Toronto Blue Jays go on and win the World Series, I first don’t think they’ll be invited to Trump’s palace, and second Toronto winning might be enough for a US invasion of Canada

I’m 61.4% kidding

As a side note,

Mark Prior, and all Cubs pitchers of that era… that played under Dusty Baker… (*Cough* Kerry Wood *Cough*) deserved better

This is about as “blue” as I get on “here”, watching The Weather Channel at 6 am, odds are you’ve seen the ads run constantly, along with home generators

“We now resume regular scheduled programming, already in progress”

There is a joke there, likely ending with… “Bluechew”?

The only difference(s) between this American Experiment and the fall of an actual democratic republic to an authoritarian dictatorship is…

* America is the most power (militarily, economically) country in the word

* There’s no America to call this exactly what it is

That *IS* about right

Epstein files are not being released, which means a duly elected MOC isn’t sworn in, stopping 218 signatures to release said file

Stephen Miller calls for Plenary powers, Trump wants a governor and mayor arrested, and there’s an overseas trip being discussed to defect it all

That about right?

Oh, sorry…

The federal government is shut down, but Trump will fly 1,000s of miles for a photo op, trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize

Also, military folks flying him, protecting his aircraft, the Secret Service, CIA/FBI, not getting paid, but dare I say a million dollar trip during a shut down?

Oswego Willy @oswegowilly.bsky.social · 6h

So… ok…

Trump will announce an Israeli-Hamas deal, with a plan to go overseas

“Meanwhile”, American cities are still under authoritarian siege, even if the courts intervene, there will eventually be a SCOTUS voice to these occupations, and the inevitable “6-3” favoring of occupation

Release the Epstein files

Thanks

Further?

Nothing on the Today show, nothing on websites, no follow up, it’s just “Wednesday”, but please, get me Weissmann to explain how the rule of law works?

I guess my point is that, welp, we just, “move on”, to a new news cycle, that it can’t have legs for a longer period?

It’s a weird authoritarian flex that this is gone so quickly

Meanwhile, “lock up Pritzker and Johnson” today has already been passed over

But *Andrew Weissmann* & Comey?

No words

Oswego Willy @oswegowilly.bsky.social · 7h

Meanwhile?

MSNBC has *Andrew Weissmann* to assure that Comey will be “fine” with the rule of law

So… ignore Stephen Miller, but platform Andrew Weissmann?

These are not accidents

Authoritarian rule *dictates* sanitized news

Oswego Willy @oswegowilly.bsky.social · 7h

Man, news outlets are so silent on Stephen Miller’s gaffe today, admitting it’s all but a dictatorship going forward

Why is that?
