That’s either really tasty beer or a shit hotdog.

There’s nothing wrong with that at all. Beer and sausage is a super standard flavor combo.

wasn’t THAT bad of a call

More than Angel Hernandez is possibly the worst umpire in baseball. There’s a reason he hasn’t umped a WS game since 2005.

If baseball players were as bad as baseball as Hernandez is at umping, they wouldn’t make it to the minors.

I’m honestly amazed that umps don’t get decked more often because Hernandez does have a punchable face. Not Nigel Farage punchable but it’s there.

On Monday, Melissa Lucio was told by a state lawmaker that she was not going to be executed this week.

Listen to the conversation between state Rep. Jeff Leach, a Plano Republican, and Lucio, whose death sentence has drawn international outcry as more people come to doubt her guilt in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Mariah Alvarez.

Here is a transcript of their conversation:

Lucio: Hello.

Leach: Melissa.

Lucio: Yes.

Leach: Hey, this is Jeff Leach.

Lucio: Yes, sir.

Leach: How are you today?

Lucio: I’m doing fine. How are you?

Leach: Good, have you heard the news?

Lucio: No, what?

Leach: You haven’t heard the news yet?

Lucio: No. What happened?

Leach: The Court of Criminal Appeals issued a stay of your execution for Wednesday.

Lucio: Are you serious!? Are you serious!? When did this happen?!

Leach: We just got word about 15 minutes ago.

Lucio: Oh my God. That is wonderful. Oh my God. What does that mean?

Leach: Well, it means you’re going to wake up on Thursday morning.

Lucio: Oh my goodness! Oh thank you, God.

I mean it’s good news and probably the last thing on his and her mind, but seems like a poor way to phrase this stuff.

I don’t know if UP still has a twitter guy but this could be a decent recruitment opportunity.

Mark Meadows was simultaneously registered to vote in three states

By Glenn Kessler

About three weeks after that speech, the New Yorker reported that Meadows had registered to vote at a home where he did not reside. Meadows and his wife, Debra, had submitted voter registration forms that listed as their residential address a 14-by-62-foot mobile home in Macon County, N.C., with a rusted metal roof that sold for $105,000 in 2021, even though they did not actually own it or live there. He then voted in the 2020 election via absentee ballot.

North Carolina officials announced last month that, as a result, Mark Meadows is under investigation for potential voter fraud. On April 11, his voter registration was removed by Macon County officials, the North Carolina State Board of Elections said last week.

The state cited the fact that Meadows had voted in Virginia during the 2021 gubernatorial election that elected a Republican, Glenn Youngkin. Meadows and his wife had registered to vote in the state in September, his and her voter registration applications show, even though they were still registered in North Carolina.

About two weeks after publication of the New Yorker article, Meadows registered to vote in South Carolina, state election records show. In July 2021, Meadows had purchased a three-story waterfront home of more than 6,000 square feet in South Carolina for nearly $1.6 million. But until this year, he also owned a townhouse in Alexandria that he had purchased in 2017.

It seems like clear fraud to me, the address he used isn’t his residence, his property or anything. I can’t wait for the HAMMER of law to come down

Here comes the 36 month process of considering whether or not to gather evidence in case potentially there is a hearing in which it is debated whether or not to bring charges. WOW! BOOM!

sounds like socialism

they’re a capitalist country with strong welfare policies

“It doesn’t work with the people we’ve got over here,” is the line ive heard.

My response to that is usually, “you. It doesn’t work over here because we have people like you.”

There’s always the “Norway has a homogeneous population and America doesn’t” which would be somewhat accurate except for getting cause and effect backwards.
