I mean, the entire point of this Russian account is to keep the conversation eternally trapped on two subjects:

1: Trump
2: Racial animus.

You can't create a more specific Russian troll account to poison the water. It's all they do. Can we at least get a water stamp on all of Getty's posts that point out that he is a Russian internet troll that is simply running through his talking points to distract actual humans from having normal conversations?
Yeah this guy is not very good at his job. Literally every comment he makes is about race and his knowledge of American culture is almost comically bad.

lol yes, they are. The days of the Lenny Dykstras, Al Leiters, John Francos and John Rockers of the world ruling baseball with their opinions are over.

Social media, especially in sports and locker rooms won't allow it. Any athlete with a rightwing view will be looked at differently, especially in a locker room that is minority-dominated...
Johnny Rocker got booed out the stadium every time he started for the Tulsa Drillers (during rehab). Even people in one of the most conservative states, and in the 90s no less, thought he was a douchebag.

He's a douchebag yes, red states and blue states didn't like him.....he was popular with a lot of suburban Braves fans tho, but his stupidity cost him big time.....

Rocker would have beaten Warnock in Georgia in 2022 if abortion was not a hot topic issue......the rural Ga. vote would have cancelled out the Atlanta burbs....but Rocker would have been Trump 2.0.

Garvey pays taxes, etc. like everyone else. You don't have to be a career politician to win office.
That doesn't refute the lack of qualifications. Yes, you can be elected, but people who are qualified will probably do a better job of actually legislating. A lot of the fuckholes you champion don't actually want to craft legislation and policy, they just want to bloviate and grift.

If I were advising Garvey, he should run for a suburban House seat......somewhere in Palm Desert, he can win there.....no Republican will be winning a Senate seat in California....period....

Who?
He has a chance of getting to November ballot so it's not Democrat vs Democrat.
He got no chance to win in November.

I was talking to some friends in CA and apparently he's going around talking about how housing is too expensive. While I agree with ol' Steve on that one it's also not a problem you're likely to solve federally.

Then again I wouldn't be surprised if he has no idea this is the case.

He should run for California Governor in 2026, he could potentially win after 16 years of Dem rule....

Jack Kemp and Bill Bradley were the most successful athletic politicians, Kemp ran for president in 1988, was the Republican VP candidate in 1996, almost was on Reagan's ticket in 1980 and Bush 41's in 1988 after running his own presidential campaign.

Bill Bradley ran for president in 2000 against Al Gore, and if not for his health problems, could have beaten Dubya in 2000 since he was more energetic than Gore.......

Jack Kemp had been a congressman for nearly 20 years by the time he ran for president. Same with Bill Bradley.

You're refuting your own point.

Cal Ripken would win any seat in Maryland if he wanted, probably not so in inner city Baltimore, 50-50 chance since he does not approve of kneeling during the anthem.......


If the Angelos family were not mediocre in running the Orioles, they would have been good politicians since they have fought for working people in their law firms....

They were successful athletes who were intelligent in policy, both of them wrote and sponsored tax legislation, so they are not like Tuberville, Herschel or Garvey.

lol more washed up athletes from the 80's and 90's along with thinly coded appeal to racial animus.

You seriously need a new playbook.

Cal is appealing to the suburban Baltimore base who would come out and watch his games, he's washed up, but is a Hall of Famer who is very patriotic and probably doesn't like race interjected in sports...which the left and right does.

National anthem doesn't have to be played every day at events, either.

So you agree... zero qualifications. Thanks for proving Muse's point.

I mean YOU love race to be interjected into sports but most people don't care one way or the other.

It's part of your weird obsession with race and washed up athletes/actors from the 80's and 90's.

Ha, Kaepernick was out of the league because of his kneeling.
