  1. Why is that strange? The fact that the Astros had a better record on the road during the regular season in 2017 is not very persuasive evidence that you should expect them to be better on the road than at home in future games, and in tiny samples like the post season it wouldn't really matter even if that weren't true. I think trying to parse the "effectiveness" of the cheating from stats is pretty silly. The effect overall is probably not very great so it's just going to get swamped by noise.
  2. lmao they are comparing those Ukrainain neo-nazis to the minutemen of the American revolution
  3. lol Nunes is fucking insane. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes president one day while the best Adam Schitt can hope for is to make the kiddie table debate in some future Dem primary.
  4. Shoulder shrugging from the anti-anti-coup people itt intensifies.
  5. Harris is toast.
  6. My morning dump is more important than this, imo.
  7. This is going to be dumb as fuck and ultimately pointless.
  8. https://news.gallup.com/poll/268094/millions-lost-someone-couldn-afford-treatment.aspx?utm_source=twitterbutton&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=sharing hell of a system we got here.
  9. The US is nominally leftist?
  10. They should either make it legal or provide teams with the technology to allow them to securely transmit the signs between pitcher/catcher. You can't have rules on the books that you can't meaningfully enforce as it just creates this gray area where many if not most teams violate the rule with only one or two being punished for it.
  11. "will of the people." Jesus Christ. Imagine being anything other than totally and unqualifyingly against this bullshit.
  12. I like Evo quite a lot, but I'm more worried about what will happen to the people of Bolivia now that the person chose to be their President has been forced to flee and insane Christian extremists have taken power.
  13. lmao of course it's just Evo and his cronies. Fucking chauvinist. Do you support the Bolivian coup or not?
  14. I don't think Evo did anything wrong by running for a fourth term given that it was legal for him to do so. It sounds like you should write an angry letter to their judiciary.
  15. Must be that famed third world cult of personality that makes Evo so hard to get out of office...it couldn't be that his administration has been an incredible success.
  16. It's funny how this logic is never applied in say, Germany, where Merkel has been in power for as long as Evo. Maybe they need a coup as well.
  17. Our Supreme Court straight up STOLE the 2000 election and no one here did one fucking thing. Do you think SCOTUS stealing that election justified some crazed rightwing military junta assuming power? The fact of the matter is that the people of Bolivia convincingly chose Evo to be their president - he won by like 11%, which would be a massive margin in a presidential election here. NO ONE voted for the generals currently in control of that country.
  18. In keeping with the American Convention on Human Rights, Bolivia's chief court did away with term limits prior to Evo's running for a fourth term. If the people of Bolivia wanted Evo out of power in favor of the opposition, then they could have voted for someone else in the most recent election - something they chose not to do. Moreover, Evo did not prevent the opposition from running and I have not seen any claims whatsoever that he hindered them from mounting a competitive campaign. The term limits issue is simply immaterial to what the opposition chose to do, as evidenced by their planning of the coup months prior to the election.
  19. What are you talking about? Evo won the election convincingly and even offered to hold a runoff to satisfy the opposition and yet they still went through with the coup. In spite of what the OAS claimed based off of incomplete results, there is no evidence that irregularities or fraud affected the result of the election.
  20. Carter slit his own throat by caving to Wall Street and appointing Volcker, and many people suffered because of that decision. As one of Reagan's advisers put it, he and the Reserve "spill[ed] blood, lots of blood, other people’s blood." This is a really crucial piece of history in understanding how we got to where we are now.
  21. Is that you?
  22. HenryLames
  23. Given that you don't appear to care, why do you keep posting in this thread? Surely Trump has said something stupid on twitter today that you can post about.
  24. lol so Carter gets no blame for having the CIA run around Afghanistan in 1979 supporting the head chopping rebels? Get the fuck out of here.
  25. They should. What Evo has accomplished is remarkable. Why do you think the right has always been obsessed with crushing every leftist government in Latin America? It's not all about the oil or lithium or whatever resources may be in play. They view those governments as a virus that must be killed off before it's allowed to spread.
