That's a waist-high 98-mph fastball right down the middle of the plate to me.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting your post. But to me that means a pitch that looks very appealing but try though I might, I could never hit it.

Shame should attach to those intent on politicizing this catastrophe. The public won’t forget either those who helped or those who stood by and jeered.

President Trump is doing a good job of leading the country through this pandemic.

I’m hoping this moment launches a change in the way we raise and train all our young, at all ages. I’m hoping it exorcises the tide of “safetyism,” which has gone overboard.

The virus is another reminder that hardship is woven into the warp and woof existence. Training a young person is training her or him to master hardship, to endure suffering and, by building something new from the wreckage, redeem it.

The article’s thesis was a simple thought experiment: what if New York City wasn’t part of America? What if the pandemic was their problem and not America’s problem? What if we let them continue to battle the coronavirus while we head off to brunch, and then the beach? Stay-at-home for thee but for me.
Oh, wow, What if? The thesis of my little article is even simpler: fuck you, Bret Stephens.

On April 9, the company announced permanent pay cuts of 2 to 10 percent for all non-union employees making more than $67,000 a year. CEO Terry Jimenez generously said he would forgo his salary—$575,000, a year per an SEC filing—for two weeks.

"Tribune gives $9 million on shareholder dividends, and then tells employees it's critical that they take pay cuts and furloughs that will save them just $556,979," another staffer wrote. "The person who made these decisions at Tribune hasn't mastered basic math."

It would be odd for Trump to agree to debate Biden under the authority of a commission deeply biased toward Beltway group think, no matter how confident he is that the former vice president lacks the energy to go two hours against him. But why walk into three ambushes?

Trump needs the oxygen of a debate - trump can sound like a moron and it won’t matter. This goes back to the other discussion in the other thread or whatever - depriving trump and the Fox machine of oxygen works. A debate will be all sorts of oxygen.

Hillary mauled him, it didn’t matter. I don’t see what a debate does other than give trump a lifeline.

Can't tell if you're serious or not, but I don't see why not. I'll have to change my password to be something other than my "real" password first though.
