The only thing I’ll have delivered is pizza (and that’s rare).

Beshear from Kentucky. Pritzker from Illinois. Buttigieg from Indiana. Shapiro from Pennsylvania. All have the capability (and have) to develop broad based coalitions big enough to not just beat but thump any MAGA coalition.

These guys know how to manage and neutralize the far right

Martyrdom comes with the territory of being a Christian clergy person.

We don’t say it out loud, normally. It wasn’t a part of my ordination vows, but giving your life in service to Christ and Christ’s church will always come with that risk.

We’re just not used to that risk in the US.

I guess so.

I just know the damage is going to be so severe and the rebuild is going to take so long that it’s hard to be positive

I want his prediction to be right so badly but I just don’t see it at the moment

Optimistic. I’ll believe it when I see it

Sports agents need to be more proactive to help their clients. They’ve got to run better interference on this stuff.

Sigh… I hate the internet sometimes.

The first place I thought would consider him a “perfect” hire would be the current US Administration…
