Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Choosing between a broadcast that has John Smoltz and one with Buck Martinez is like choosing between stepping on a rusty nail and getting kicked in the nuts.

There are so many contemptible members of the Trump cabinet, but I believe none are more so than AG Pam Bondi.

As annoying and hypocritical and insincere and narcissistic and self-serving and performative and unintelligent as most people—of many political persuasions!—consider you to be, Meghan, we don't want you dead. Honestly. That may disappoint you, but it's true.

Yes Buck, the team that scored more runs than Toronto, given up fewer runs than Toronto, has a higher team OPS than Toronto, a lower team ERA than Toronto, and is a grand total of 3 games back of Toronto....is not a good team.
What a buffoon.

"The Yankees, they're not a good team. I don't care what their record is. They have a lot of wild pitches. They make a lot of mistakes in the field. They don't run the bases very well." - Blue Jays commentator Buck Martinez calls down the thunder 🔥

I just watched the exchange from Abby Phillips' CNN show last night, and I can say without hesitation or reservation that Jillian Michaels is really not smart and should probably stick to bullying weight loss reality tv show contestants.

This breaks my heart. This is sexual harassment. This is traumatizing. TERFs and transphobes and everyone “just asking questions” for “women’s safety” (this happened to a cis teenager) should be ashamed for the rest of their lives.

I'm glad to see that Canadian/American dual citizen Freddie Freeman did not join his Dodgers teammates at the White House this morning.
I am, perhaps naively, choosing to believe that his absence had nothing to do with his ankle injury and was related to the Canadian half of his citizenship.
