I missed Sunday's game thread. Is it worth going to read the ninth inning comments or did people just lose their will to live and/or type comments?

Don't worry - I think he has assigned Jared to take care of that problem, so it is in good hands. The Republicans really do need to stop pretending their is a competent adult in the White House and put the long term good of the country (world) in front of the agenda they are trying to get through before Trump completely goes insane.

I think he has already been working pretty hard and de-legitimizing the media. Not that they have not done things to make this a little easier for him, but his "fake news" meme and basically endorsing Fox News and their views any chances he can get shows he values being a "winner" over the truth. I heard one of the agencies was told their TV should always be on Fox News.

Nixonesque is the first thing that came to my mind when I heard that.

I think every President should have a webpage where he can put out his alternative facts and collect money and sell merchandise at the same time. I don't think I need to state I think he might be a little ego-driven. I guess you have to given him credit for not displaying false humility. "Donald J. Trump is the very definition of the American success story, setting the standards of excellence in his business endeavors, and now, for the United States of America." https://www.donaldjtrump.com/

I wonder if they come with a complimentary copy of Ivanka's new critically acclaimed book,

He does make things seem better when things are looking grim.

All this wish list is missing is a pony and world peace and it is perfect.

I am pretty sure he gave you a subtle look of disappointment and quietly shook his head (which is his version of giving you the finger and shouting M&&&&&%% F&&&&&&&& from North Dakota!!!)

I missed most of the game - actually turned on the car radio just as he was getting in the batting box. Home run aside, did I hear that his earlier single was another pulled shot to right field? If so, that would be the third time in a couple of weeks. If he can do that from time to time, that will do a lot to lessen the effectiveness of the defensive shifts teams have been using against him. Home run was great, but was also happy to hear about the right field single (if I heard that correctly). When I saw clips of the hit later, that might be the most animated I have seen him after a home run although there did look to be potential for disaster for either him or Sano with the victory carry. This is a pretty easy team to cheer for -- they seem pretty enthused and engaged. I suppose it helps the morale not to start 0-9.

Trump probably does not even know it needs to pass the Senate. He does not seem to be as familiar of how the government works as the typical President, or the average third grader.

I posted this on the Trump thread - but it is disgusting how celebratory they were. All they cared about was that they repealed the health care bill that was passed by that man. They really don't care about what is best of their constituents, only that they win.

Another picture of these clowns gleeful over their win - who cares how it actually effects the average person. They are really soulless and with no sense of honor or decency (or grace, class, empathy etc..).

For some reason I just had a vision of you looking like this. Are you part of a "family" business?

Picture of the rose garden celebration of the repeal and replacement of health care. That is a whole lot of entitled white male who have a really good health care plan paid for by the tax-payers. Trump smiling smugly -- only caring about victory and sticking it to Obama, not even really sure of what was in the bill or how it will really affect people. Still his core supporters will think he is a messenger of God even as they lose their health care coverage. He also signed that nice Religions EO -- what a great day for the country. http://a.abcnews.com/images/Politics/RTR-GOPAtWhiteHouse-02-jrl-170504_12x5_1600.jpg

Daily after Dark -- only accessible on the Dark Web. You have to do quite a bit to warrant a warning and there are more limericks than haikus.

I suppose writing "as expected" is not really necessary for this one.

Isn't this motto found at the beginning of the Game Thread Instruction Manual?

I am pretty sure we have scored more runs and probably won more games than all of last season now.

As expected.

I think the concrete has finally settled.

No wonder they are an endangered species -- they don't wear helmets. I bet he texts while driving as well.

His latest tweet -- he is actually going to continue to go down the Andrew Jackson rabbit hole, because he has to somehow be right about everything. I suspect he would be OK if Jackson's plan to prevent the Civil War would have been to maintain the slavery status quo. Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 3h3 hours ago President Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the Civil War started, saw it coming and was angry. Would never have let it happen!

I heard them say that equaled the number of balls hit to right field the previous two seasons. If he can do that even occasionally, it will help deflate some of the effectiveness of the split. On another homer type not - his defense is not looking too shabby.

When he was with the the Italian Prime Minister recently he said Pavarotti is a great friend of mine. I should give him the benefit of the doubt and that he probably meant it in past tense, since the singer died ten years ago. The more cynical side of me thinks he was just pulling names out of his &^*& and had no idea his "great friend" had long stopped singing.
