  1. I’m not pretending about anything Flop. You’re saying things that aren’t true. And I am telling you they aren’t true. Literally in the post above this one you said that the Cubans were “holding the country” for Maduro. I’m not sure how else to interpret that. The United States doesn’t need to be “isolationist” to stay fu*ck out of other countries internal affairs. Venezuela didn’t ask for our aid. At least no one who had any right to ask for the United States to intervene in that country. This isn’t about some noble fight against dictators. The US is great friends with plenty of dictators. In Latin America the US was a great ally of Manuel Noriega, until he wasn’t useful anymore. The same for Saddam Hussein who with the support of the United States fought a devastating war with Iran. This goes on and on. Why aren’t we imposing crippling sanctions on the Saudis ? They’re pretty solid abusers of human rights. This nonsense about “helping” is pure bullshit. It’s utterly contradictory if you examine the idea at all. My position is simply this. The United States should not be working to sow chaos in Venezuela and the United States should not be in the business of hand picking pretenders as leaders of that country. Nicolas Maduro should go. But the this Guaido guy shouldn’t be the one to take over. His legitimacy is utterly compromised.
  2. Ya, I was wondering about why he sent him back out. He only had what ? 12 pitchers prior ? Still. Doesn’t seem like he needs to use him this much, this early.
  3. Bour looks like he smashed a turd onto his shoulder. Also, Lucroy. Stop sucking shit.
  4. This Verizon commercial where the guy is laughing about shattering his pelvis is pretty funny. Lemonade out of lemons I guess.
  5. A consistent thing with Felix Pena is that he’s great for about 4 innings.
  6. I understand that perspective, I just happen to disagree. I think this is a spot to be aggressive. Again, it’s early, they have a lead and I think it’s a 50/50 play at worst with Calhoun running against Grichuck. I think all the pressure is on Grichuck and theJays catcher to make a play and that should be forced. Anyway, agree to disagree. I’m glad they got the runs anyway.
  7. Well it worked out. I still think early in the game against a good pitcher you roll the dice a force a guy like Randall Grichuck to make a play.
  8. Grichuck would have had to make a perfect throw to gun down Calhoun. Ridiculous he wasn’t sent.
  9. Bour has an incredible ability to just stare at pitches right down the middle. Remarkable.
  10. The rule of law supposedly matters. But that’s not what we have now. You have to face the issue as it is. Impeachment is deserved but if it’s going to turn Trump into a perceived martyr then maybe it’s not the thing to do. Also, hasn’t it already been demonstrated whether party or country is more important. ? Just take a look at Mitch McConnells comments on what the plan is should Trump lose. Everything is out in the open man.
  11. Jesus it’s always like this with you dude. You just make shit up. There’s no Cuban take over of Venezuela. Most of the Cubans there are doctors, nurses, and teachers. If you can’t connect the dots between refugee exodus and massive social and political destabilization then I don’t know what to tell you. Why don’t you tell me ? Is it the Trump administrations deep love of the Venezuelan people that is causing them to orchestrate all of this bullshit ? That psychopath in Brazil offered asylum to 25 Venezuelan soldiers the other day. So that gives you a bit of a clue as to what kind of support Guaido is getting from the Venezuelan military. Think about that, we’re on the side of Bolsanaro. And what the fuc* is the point of brining Obama into this discussion? Is it because you presume I think everything about his administration is wonderful ? I actually think that the sanctions that Obama placed on Venezuela were dumb. But I’m not going down that straw man road with you. Obama didn’t uplift some nobody as a puppet instrument of subversion. Obama didn’t in broad day light try and orchestrate a coup. Your’re right that this stuff has been the game of the United States for a long time. Both Democrat and Republican. It’s time for that shit to end. It’s not good for United States and it’s not good for global stability. Enough of the imperialist shit.
  12. Oh ya ? Want to share all the images you’ve seen of the mass exodus of soldiers going over to Guaido. And it’s not “my view” of the past. The United States has its history but in Latin America. And it’s a blood soaked, well documented, and terrible one. You know all the immigrants you’re so terrified of ? What do you think is the fundamental origin of all that ? Here’s a hint. The US played a big role in it. I can’t wait to hear you cry about the Venezuelan “invasion” when a sea of refugees flees the country should that country deteriorate much further. It’s even all the same goons from then. This hapless pathetic attempt at an overthrow is so transparent that’s it would be laughable if not for the massive death and suffering that will absolutely come. You think it’s bad now ? Wait until there’s actually armed conflict. This administrations designs on Venezuela are not benign or humanitarian. They are absolutely working to make the situation there considerably worse. The United States should stay out of it. And if there was any interest in actually softening day to day lives of Venezuelans they’d lift the sanctions.
  13. Given the United States glorious history in Latin America. Have some of you considered that maybe what we’re hearing from clowns like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo is purely deceitful.
