The biggest joke is, any first time felon, with a show of remorse and good behavior, would get a slap on the wrist, maybe a fine. But Donnie Dum-Dum has spent this whole trial and the period leading up to it p!ssing off the judge, DELIBERATELY. He’ll be lucky to get a month in prison.
I’m not an authority on Cobb’s racism or lack of, but he was widely acknowledged to be one of the dirtiest players in the game at the time, sharpening his spikes to dive foot-first at some baseman’s shins. Seeing him taken down by unacknowledged players in the N*gro League is justice of another kind. EDIT: And thank you Gocomics nanny for censoring the name of the league.

I’m judging the candidates this year partly on their character— Biden wins easily— but largely on their party’s plans.

And with the ages of Thomas and Alito, the next President will appoint at least two SCOTUS judges. We cannot let Trump do that again.
Better question: please explain to us exactly when America STOPPED being great?
