Btw... The President was right about the Dodgers!

So there was much criticism about a tweet the President made questioning the decision to pull the Dodger starter after just six and a third innings. He was working on a one hit shut out, had a reasonable pitch count, and had pretty much the entire off-season to rest.

Obviously hindsight being 20-20 it was easy to say that going to the bullpen that gave up as many runs (8) as they got people out (8) was a huge mistake. But I guess even in being right the President is still going to be wrong in the eyes of many.


I guess I am old fashioned as I remember playoff pitcher's duels that would go the distance. Who can forget game seven of the 1991 World Series between the Minnesota Twins and the Atlanta Braves. 

Hall of Famer, World Series MVP, (7-0 in the post season) Black Jack Morris 
vs 
Hall of Famer, 8 time all star, and Cy Young award winner John Smoltz.   

Smoltz, of course, had a nice game. Pitched eight and a third innings of shut out baseball. 

But Black Jack Morris ended up pitching 10 innings of shut out baseball that night, literally refusing Tom Kelly's repeated attempts to pull him from the game. The Twins finally scoring the winning run in the bottom of the tenth inning. This was Morris' third complete game win in post season play.  Morris threw 126 pitches. 

Perhaps a pitcher throwing 126 pitches and going 10 innings is something today's athletes cannot comprehend. Much less throwing 126 pitches and 10 innings of shut out ball in a game seven of the world series. 

But I remember these days, as does the President.

The Red Sox was clearly the superior team. Dodger pitching could not keep them off the bases.

Cc sabathia has the most career complete games for active pitchers with 38. That used to be a season total.

major league pitching is becoming "specialized" almost to a farcical level. i'm starting to think that there will be a time in the not so distant future where we'll have nine different pitchers per game, with guys being touted as a "fourth inning specialist" or some such bullshit.

Commonsense said...

The Rays are already leading the way with their "Opener" strategy. Other teams will follow. User 6 or 7 pitcher's in a game will become the norm.

Roberts is likely to be released.

For once the President was correct.

He is going to cause a Constitutional crisis with his EO in violation of the 14th amendment.

I wonder if you will address his executive order on the Dreamers and the "invasion"

Trump told "Axios on HBO" that he has run the idea of ending birthright citizenship by his counsel and plans to proceed with the highly controversial move, which certainly will face legal challenges.

"It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don't," Trump said, declaring he can do it by executive order.
When told that's very much in dispute, Trump replied: "You can definitely do it with an Act of Congress. But now they're saying I can do it just with an executive order."
"We're the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States ... with all of those benefits," Trump continued. "It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. And it has to end." (More than 30 countries, most in the Western Hemisphere, provide birthright citizenship.)
"It's in the process. It'll happen ... with an executive order."
The president expressed surprise that "Axios on HBO" knew about his secret plan: "I didn't think anybody knew that but me. I thought I was the only one. "

Behind the scenes: "Axios on HBO" had been working for weeks on a story on Trump’s plans for birthright citizenship, based on conversations with several sources, including one close to the White House Counsel’s office.
The legal challenges would force the courts to decide on a constitutional debate over the 14th Amendment, which says:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Be smart: Few immigration and constitutional scholars believe it is within the president's power to change birthright citizenship, former U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services chief counsel Lynden Melmed tells Axios.

if you think this would amount to a constitutional crisis, you are either an over-the-top drama queen, or you have absolutely no understanding whatsoever of our constitution.

and you can stop spamming the HBO axios bullshit. we knew about it before you did, alky.

The attack, which the Anti-Defamation League described as the deadliest targeting Jews in the United States, has heightened a national debate over Trump's rhetoric, which his critics say has contributed to a surge in white nationalist and new-Nazi activity.

The Trump administration has rejected the notion that he has encouraged far-right extremists who have embraced him.

The Republican president said he would visit hospitalized police officers and other people wounded in the shooting.

"I'm just going to pay my respects," Trump told Fox News on Monday night. "I would have done it even sooner, but I didn’t want to disrupt anymore than they already had disruption."

The top four U.S. congressional leaders - Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer, Republican House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi - declined to join Trump in Pittsburgh, a source familiar with the planning said.

why? your arguments on this is like any other topic. your position could not be more shallow or more reliant upon the writing's of others.

i happen to be glad he's addressed it. as it stands, i strongly suspect he loses in court, but i'm glad he's brought it up. the 14th amendment exists to address citizenship to slaves and their descendents. iow's it's wildly outdated. since then it's been interpreted to cover illegals, and it's due for an update. this calls for legislative action by congress and in the context of the beaner brigade invasion, i think his timing is perfect.

you can't see past your phony outrage to see that trump is fucking with you...

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said he plans on introducing birthright citizenship legislation sometime after the elections. The senator applauded the president's planned move saying in a statement: "Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship."

The first amendment is to section one, declaring that all "persons born in the United States and Subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside. I do not propose to say anything on that subject except that the question of citizenship has been fully discussed in this body as not to need any further elucidation, in my opinion. This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country.

Host Alisyn Camerota asked Meyers about the backlash he’s received for saying President Donald Trump was welcome to visit his synagogue, and Meyers said he had received so many hateful emails that he’s lost count.

“When I first said that the president was welcome, I received a lot of email[s], too numerous to count, I can’t keep track. For every email I read, two appear as I’m reading that one, so I just cannot keep up with it,” Meyers replied.

“I’ve received many emails that are not happy with those words. The thing that saddens me is those emails also contain hate. And it just continues in this vicious cycle. Hate promulgating more hate promulgating more hate, and that’s just not the solution. We need to be better than this. We can be better than this.”

Camerota asked what message Meyers has for Trump if he sees him and Meyers said, “The same message I just shared with you.”


These are the classy people James hangs with.

US v Wong Kim Ark relies heavely on English Common law to make that determination:

It thus clearly appears that, by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the Crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, the jurisdiction of the English Sovereign, and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign State or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born.

It is important to note Wong's parents were legal perminate US aliens. However the ruling doesn't make the distinction between legal and illegal alian unless you use the hostel occupation argument.

This is why I don't think Trump will prevail in the Supreme Court.

I don't think Trump will even follow through on it, much less have it end up in court. Unless there is a previous "executive action" regarding this that he is "undoing" - there is little reason to believe he has such authority to change a status.

More reality for cramps to deny....

A poll released by the Public Religion Institute found that the majority of Americans believe that President Donald Trump has encouraged white supremacists.
Trump has been criticized for his rhetoric that has viewed as echoing that of white nationalists.
Multiple studies have found that hate crimes in the US are on the rise, and some have been correlated to Trump's tweets.
In light of a wave of high-profile hate threats and attacks, President Donald Trump has been widely criticized in the media for stoking conspiracy theories and false narratives among the conservative fringe.

Now, a poll from the Public Religion Research Institute released Monday suggests that most Americans agree that Trump has "encouraged white supremacist groups" with his decisions and behavior.

The poll, which surveyed 2,509 adults from all 50 states through online surveys and live telephone interviews between September 17 and October 1, found that 54% of participants believed that Trump's decisions and behavior have encouraged white supremacist groups, and 69% of participants said that Trump has "damaged the dignity of the presidency."
