I doubt Luhnow ever works in baseball again. Crane appears to be in cover-his-ass mode and the guy rumored to be the front runner for the GM job might as well have been handpicked by Manfred. There is a lot left in this system but I think the salad days of Astros baseball will be coming to a close sooner than later.
Wow, this is the first time i've seen Bernie leading in the primary betting markets. Must be that NYT Iowa poll.

They have made some pretty smart FA acquisitions, but the Rangers just can't seem to do a whole lot from the drafting/development side. Given limited prospect capital, it seems like they're going to have to wait until payroll bottoms out so they can sign even more FAs to fill in all the glaring holes on the position side.
No matter what Rogan has said on his podcast, he’s nowhere nearly as evil a human being as someone like Kissinger, whom is warmly regarded by every mainstream dem.
Why do you characterize it is as an accusation? The fact that the Ukrainian government has a Nazi problem has been reported everywhere, and isn't some baseless conspiracy theory (like the "Trump is in cahoots with Putin" conspiracy theory, for instance). US military support for Ukrainian Neo-Nazis was such a concern that it actually spurred Congress to attempt to limit the Administration's ability from providing said support. You would think such a scandal would be more newsworthy than some farcical impeachment trial the result of which is foreordained (something even the impeachment humpers itt will readily admit), but here we are.
What do you people believe are the odds of Trump being convicted in the Senate? It looks like the line is at around -5000 against and the betting markets at around 92/8 against. Those don't seem very good.
At this point Biden is still the favorite (although not nearly as much as he was a month ago) and if you're Trump the narrative you will be deploying against him is that he's corrupt, and so it makes sense to lean into the narrative that he and the DNC are trying to corruptly steal the election from Bernie. If Bernie wins the first three primaries and emerges as the clear favorite then I doubt you will hear much support from Trump for Bernie at that point.
lol so it's perfectly fine for us to be training and providing logistical support to neo-nazis? You act like Azov is some rouge group when it's run by Ukraine's Interior Minister and is incorporated into Ukraine's National Guard. Of course they are going to receive training and the Leahy vetting process is not intended to screen-out the majority of their membership.
Also, the fact that Azov has received US weapons through the US embassy is not a secret.

I wonder if Crane is thinking about bringing in someone with a brand like Baker as a way of taking some of the stink off of the franchise. I can't imagine why else someone like him would be under consideration.
lol members of Azov have bragged about receiving arms and being trained by the US in the past and that legislation has no real enforcement mechanism to ensure that such support comes to a stop.
