This is amazing. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/05/opinion/trump-white-house-anonymous-resistance.html

Woodward taped every interview, evidently.

So former Sen. Jon Kyl will replace McCain, but has only committed to a year, leaving the possibility that Ducey could nominate someone else, even himself, prior to 2020. Still surprising that Ducey passed on the opportunity to nominate a Republican who could run as the incumbent in 2020 (I suppose that could still happen); this feels like a very safe choice.

The Trade Everyone Was Waiting For.

Buxton turns out to be worth keeping at the age 28 season, I hope we sign him to an extension, making this issue moot.
-
In AZ, the senate race tracks to rather moderates given the times. I thought Sinema's victory statement showed some class.
-
The Florida governors race should be very interesting, what with the Trump endorsed Desantis against the Bernie endorsed Gillum.
-
It's his first full season; I imagine fatigue is setting in... In spite of his hitting woes, he's been hitting in the 3-hole regularly; so they must have faith in him.
-
We live in very weird and interesting times where a private media conglomerate acts as state news agency (when their candidate is in power). I'm not sure how to resolve this under our constitution and current SCOTUS caselaw, but it is a problem we will continue to deal with in the foreseeable future.

I, too, was moved more than I anticipated by John McCain's death. His integrity was needed now more than ever, and will be sorely missed.

Who could be appointed to replace John McCain in the Senate, and the process behind it, explained
-
So McCain is discontinuing treatment. Does anyone know how senators are replaced in Arizona? Could Ducey nominate someone this fall?
-
It's about the post count isn't it?
-
Does he reveal the pardons tonight, or does he wait for another opportune moment?
-
You said it was "simple." But whatever.
-
You said: "There are individuals who have demonstrated that they cannot operate within the agreed upon morals of society." And I pushed back against the idea you can easily determine who such individuals are... If you agree that figuring out the irredeemable is a bit of gray area, we're on the same page.
-
For me, there is. I wouldn't necessarily impose this belief on others, but I can't really believe that any person should just be executed. I know many do not share the belief, but I think that murderers (and the like) are created not born. That is, it seems to be a feature/bug of our modern culture that a good deal of those-beyond-all-hope occur with regularity. To the extent you take mercy on such individuals, it is chiefly important to protect the public above all else. Beyond that, why not seek to understand how the criminal became what he was, and if as a by product, that person gains something like rehabilitation, so be it.
-
The quote that Craig posted about dealt with a close call (a pitiable case); not those who obviously are beyond redemption. In fact that's the whole point of the quoted material is that not every case of wrong-doing deserves the ultimate punishment. Everyone here is far too smart/savvy to be characterized at all by ignorance; my apologies if I made it seem otherwise.
-
Indeed. Yet the ignorant will still answer, "Yes, let me give it to them!"
-
It's not simple at all. Let's not pretend that the current sentencing scheme separates those beyond help with those who might be rehabilitated. Plenty of non-murderers spend their lives in prison and receive little-to-no rehabilitation services. Too many are trapped in cycles of lesser-crimes, and we end up paying for decades of their incarceration instead of spending to rehabilitate them (and avoid recidivism). There may be those beyond our help, but determining who precisely those people are will necessarily (and should) be a painful process that will invariably get it wrong some of the time. Let's hope we learn from our case-by-case mistakes, and not create black-letter law that would simply incorporate such mistakes in the name of judicial efficiency.
-
I find your use of the word "eligible" highly problematic. I'm not sure we can know who would benefit from rehabilitation without actually trying to rehabilitate a person. Once people serve their time, they will be free again, and if we deem them non-eligible for rehabilitation than we're essentially paving the way for recidivism. Beyond those whom we sentence to life in prison (setting aside that moral problem), every person should be "eligible" for rehabilitation. (Let's not forget that incarceration is far more expensive than probation, and arguably less effective at preventing recidivism).
-
I hope we'll see both Lewis and Kiriloff in Arizona this Fall; but I think we can only take one single A player, is that correct?

Logan Morrison Hip Impingement Q&A
PseudoSABR replied to Heezy1323's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Nicely done. -
Thorpe's FV seems ridiculous with his being this close to the majors and this far removed from his injuries.
