    Back in Brooklyn, players like the Duke ( best ever in the universe), the CA. guy, would stay in the home of people who offered rooms to non- local players. It was an honor to be one of the families that gave room and board to their beloved Dodgers. I can understand, it was unlike the relationship any other city had with it's indigenous team.
    Gil Hodges and his family lived in Brooklyn, and walked the streets there shopping, eating in local restaurants, and generally living life amongst the faithful...every day.
    In retrospect, I can kind of feel the degree of hurt they felt in Brooklyn...it truly was a one of a kind relationship between team and players.
    Historically, they blame O'Malley, who was somewhat at fault...but only after he tried and tried again, and was stymied by Robert Moses, the real culprit in the whole thing.y
    Y' know, Moses...the guy who led his people out to eventually wander in the desert for 31, uh...40 years.

    Shameful.
    Absolutely shameful show of what this country is offering the American people for leadership. In a plague.
    The worst situation since WWII...makes one thankful for guys like FDR and Truman, I guess.
    Can you imagine either one at the helm of this country during those years ?

    FDR during WWII was about the same as Biden is now.

    Biden exceeded expectations by not combusting but he is seriously a horrible person.

    Trump being unable to succinctly and decisively debunk hoaxes and call out Chris Wallace on questions built upon lies is what drags him down. It's not enough to be right. You have to articulate why.
    He dropped the ball and missed opportunities in the race portion of the debate. He got side tracked talking about law and order and should have at least circled back to, "the people hurt most by lack of policing is black people." He should've done a better job slamming Biden's record with blacks.
    And as unfair as it is for him to be asked to condemn white supremacists all the time (which he has condemned btw), he needs to answer it clearly.
    Something like, "of course I condemn white supremacists. I've done so repeatedly. That said, not everybody you disagree with is a white supremacist. The media has painted the Covington Catholic kids, Kyle Rittenhouse, the St Louis couple who defended their property, etc etc white supremacists. That's just not the case. I reject the premise of your question. Talk to Joe about left wing violence that has ravaged our nation"

    Wallace and Biden using the Charlottesville hoax, calling critical race theory "sensitivity training", and repeating the "suckers and losers" military lie invalidated the whole thing for me anyway.

    The whole thing was a joke. Not even interested in the next one.

    We know how the game ends.
    I'm hoping for extra innings for America but if not, we will be okay.

    Biden talking about he doesn't support the green new deal and then later says the green new deal will pay for itself was a fun one.

    Failing health, physically and mentally.
    He gave Eastern Europe to Stalin, politely asking Stalin not to annex Poland until after the election.
    Maybe it isn't surprising, since commies stick together.

    Are you seriously applauding this behavior?
    Both candidates are train wrecks but this is embarrassing.
