As someone who used to not care about any sports, but became a big baseball fan in the past few years, it is ridiculous how hard it is to watch local games and truly is the only reason to subscribe to cable or live TV services at all. But I'm not paying $80/mo just to watch baseball games, so we just watch convenient pirated streams. Like, we would pay for MLB.tv except that you can't watch locally-broadcast games if you're geographically located in that market, so we wouldn't be able to watch the games we want anyway. It really is the perfect example of how people are willing to pay for convenience, but when legal avenues are both absurdly expensive and less convenient than piracy, the choice for the consumer is easy.

So anyway, all that is to say I would LOVE to see local sports become untethered from big, expensive live TV packages. I would absolutely pay a Netflix-like monthly price just for my local NBC Sports affiliate, which is more than the nothing that they're getting from me now.

Same but hockey. Go out or get a vpn pretty much.

She also says she has knowledge that Biden has taken steps to steal the 2024 election. If true, that would upend the entire election, potentially vindicate Donald Trump's claims of fraud, possibly drive Biden out of the White House, and result in criminal charges.

It should be noted that as time went on a multitude of reporters looked into Tara Reades' story and her past and discovered she has a long history of lying and pulling stunts like this to the point that she was caught perjuring herself in the past and pretty much no one with any integrity wants anything to do with her any more since she has a long, long, long line of people she cynically manipulated by preying on their sympathy and good nature in believing her lies to bleed them dry of money and a house to stay at (that she wrecked at least once) before remorselessly leaving them behind.

In addition to that, it turns out that she was fired for cause by the Biden campaign for not doing her job, giving motive for revenge, the place she alleges the assault happened literally does not exist as reporters found out that it looks completely different from what she claims, and her friends later admitted that they were pressured by Reade to lie on her behalf corroborating her claims that Biden was handsy with her in public so Reade could set up a "layered" story she could unveil later on after Reade changed the nature of her allegations.

The russian intelligence and state media know how to use pathological users of people that like that for their own benefit, so it's probably an opportunistic thing. And to be clear, the words others have used to describe her in the past have gone on record as being "manipulative, deceitful, and a user of people".

Though I will say that she was tweeting and hollering support for russia and the RT state media way back when (she even called putin of all people the last hope for the free world when Obama was elected, or something like that) and actively seemed to oppose support for Ukraine, hyping up Russia, so who knows. She's certainly been in contact with russian propaganda operatives in recent years if her own admission is anything to go by.



Edit: She even pulled a George Santos "I never said I was jewish, I said I was jew ish." and later said something to the effect of that she never explicitly said she was sexually assaulted. She said she just implied it happened and it's on everyone else for assuming. I'd have to look the article that released that particular update but it looks like she's trying to grift after all her other grifts failed or ran dry and it turned out that she can't hold down a real job as simple as collating Biden supporter's mail and forwarding it to be replied to.

Why not innovate, this is the American Experiment after all.

They should solve this with congressional car pools. Everybody has to drive, in a rotation. If nobody is willing to ride with you three times in a term, you are removed and a special election is held. We can get fun with it, the stakes are so low, obviously, that if we let a situation this bad persist so long the solutions might as well be whimsical.

We have to be careful though, this raises the risk of unlikely but heartwarming friendships forming over the course of a few quirky adventures that will last a lifetime

I guess Vivek is at least semi-specific in that he is laying out a specific rate, but when I say a detailed or specific tax plan, I wasn't considering stuff like this:

to count as "specific" or "detailed" policies. "Eliminate cronyist loopholes" and set the tax rate to 12% isn't really an actually specific or detailed plan. Also, very strange that it is in a "truth vs myth" section of the website dedicated to "Addressing the BS, baloney, lies, and planted trash 🗑️ peddled by insecure campaigns, Super PAC puppets, “listless vessels” of the political establishment, and fake establishment media" and not an actual policy section.

For all of Trump's foibles, he did actually have a detailed plan for what the Trump tax cuts would look like when he ran for office. He doesn't have one for 2024.

The closest thing Vivek has to a policy page is just a page labelled "TRUTH" with only this written on it:

"There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four."

No American party has mechanisms to "eject" people like that, at least not strongly. Local parties can pass various kinds of mostly symbolic censure, and you might have a very hard time winning a primary if everybody in party leadership hates your guts, but in general the parties have very little control over who calls themselves a member.
