@SleeperNats These commenters are idiots. Toboni and Butera have breathed life into this team and have already exceeded just about everyone's expectations

@PaulCubbage23 @Wadlez2 He's an aluminum bat hitter. Many of his hits came on pulled hard grounders and HRs to straightaway or opposite field. In the majors, those LSU hits are likely outs. He needs to learn to pull the ball in the air to have success in the bigs.

@davis_the_wavis @kausmickey Stop .. Obama removed people at the border and called it a "deportation" ...Trump is left with interior enforcement since the border is more or less closed

I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare, “Affordable Care Act” bullshit started. I got here in 2021. As a matter of fact, the ACA made health insurance UNAFFORDABLE for my family after it was passed, with skyrocketing premiums higher than our house payment. Let’s just say as nicely as possible, I’m not a fan. But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district. No I’m not towing the party line on this, or playing loyalty games. I’m a Republican and won’t vote for illegals to have any tax payer funded healthcare or benefits. I’m AMERICA ONLY!!! I’m carving my own lane. And I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year. Also, I think health insurance and all insurance is a scam, just be clear! Not a single Republican in leadership talked to us about this or has given us a plan to help Americans deal with their health insurance premiums DOUBLING!!! Our country sent $30 billion to Israel in 2024 alone killing countless innocent children and sent HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS to Ukraine in the past few years. By the way, I voted NO to all of that murder! America has funded the Ukrainian government, Ukrainian, pensions, and Ukrainian businesses during this entire stupid war that America should have nothing to do with. All our country does is fund foreign countries and foreign wars, and never does anything to help the American people!!! It is absolutely shameful, disgusting, and traitorous, that our laws and policies screw the American people so much that the government is shut down right now fighting over basic issues like this. Again, NO FUNDING FOR ILLEGALS AND ANY BENEFITS FOR THEM, BUT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ABSOLUTELY INSANE COST OF INSURANCE FOR AMERICANS. You don’t HATE your government enough. I’m here in Washington DC this week to meet with anyone who is AMERICA ONLY and will work with me on a plan for AMERICANS ONLY!!!

@DaveJageler @NatsRadio @JoshWhetzel @CharlieSlowes Is Charlie coming back?

Where to start? The leaflet referred to here—“A Last Appeal to Reason,” by Adolf Hitler—was dropped en masse on August 1, 1940. By that date: 1) Nazi Germany’s attempt to destroy the Royal Air Force ahead of an invasion of Britain was already in its fourth week (on July 10, 1940, 21 days before the leaflets, 120 Luftwaffe bombers hit British ships in the channel, and 70 Luftwaffe bombers struck dockyards in Wales—from that date on, raids were staged by the Luftwaffe every day and night); 2) Hitler had already issued Directive No. 16 (July 16), which formalized plans for the imminent invasion of Britain (Operation Sealion); and 3) Nazi Germany had already conquered France, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, and had begun (in July 1940) to make plans to invade the Soviet Union—with which it had signed a non-aggression pact!—and to murder tens of millions of its supposedly subhuman people (see: Himmler’s memo of 25 May 1940). Cooper’s causation is false, too. Five weeks after the leaflet was dropped, Nazi Germany started bombing London and other British cities in a campaign known as the “Blitz.” But this did not happen because, to his great regret, Hitler’s friendly little leaflet campaign had failed; it happened because, by that point, Hitler had realized that Nazi Germany was losing the Battle of Britain, that the air superiority he needed prior to an invasion was going to elude him, and that a new tactic was necessary. In a sense, the Blitz was an updated leaflet campaign: the purpose was to turn the British against the war and leave Nazi Germany with a free hand to do more of what it had done since 1937. As for the idea that Churchill magically had all the leaflets collected? The Nazis dropped five million of them, in literally every part of the country. So, while efforts were indeed made in cities to clean up, and the British government, indeed, didn’t like it, hiding them all wasn’t remotely feasible—or even attempted in earnest. Even in the 1990s, when I was a kid, there were so many of them in circulation that you’d see them at garage sales and antique shops, and old people would go get them from their attics to show them off. To cast Hitler as Cooper does here—and, by extension, Churchill—you have to ignore that, when this leaflet was dropped, Nazi Germany had taken over pretty much all of Western Europe, and was in the process of attempting to destroy Britain’s air defenses so that, in Hitler’s own words of July 16, Germany could “eliminate the English homeland as a base for the prosecution of the war against Germany and, if necessary, to occupy it completely.” If you are able to read those words and buy their implication that Germany was merely acting defensively, then you’re a total bloody moron. x.com/martyrmade/sta…

Early in WW2, when Hitler was still refusing to retaliate in kind for British bombings of German civilian targets, he had the Luftwaffe drop leaflets calling for peace onto British cities. Churchill had teams of street sweepers on standby to clean them up before anyone saw them,

@ChuckTaylor1973 @Nationals Brzycky actually looks like he can be decent. The others are ass. Loutos was DFA'd earlier by the Dodgers. Rizzo claimed him off waivers. Another dumpster dive.

@ScottChoppin Are you still building your 5 BR section 8 specials?

@ChuckTaylor1973 @Nationals Nah...Loutos and Salazar are way, way worse

@TalkNats It's tough because either they draft someone who's no good at all like Elijah Greene or someone who maybe possibly could be good but whose goodness is realized by another team bc Nats can't develop him. Which is another way of saying I think it's time to move on from Rizzo.

Not sure why the import adjustment tax idea not been brought back..

Johnson: Maybe we should actually codify the tariffs. Talk about a revenue source— that is paid for in part by foreign companies and governments.

@gomni1807 @ShannonJean Probably a 3/4 bath to .75 rounded up to .8 because of some govt listing convention, if I had to guess. And a 3/4 bath is a thing. I'm sitting on the can in one now.

@ShannonJean You do need to check for tax liens and mortgages you know?

@melissasavenko @soccerbil The point of post is if capitalism loses credibility w/enough people they'l turn to something else, despite parents' assessment of whether that thing "works" or not. We have an economy that works really well for people who own lots of assets. Much less well for everyone else..

@DominicJPino @NRO When does our tax system tax people on income they don't have the use of (or not income at all)? This argument by Pino is more anti-government libertarian bullshit

@YahooSports @Nationals @grok I'm watching the nats game and I don't see Bruce the Bat dog retrieving bats.. what's up?

@Mark_E_Noonan @DominicJPino @NRO We didn't. But Dominic thinks you don't know that
