This talking point about Rousey and Baszler not having earned their way into the Wrestlemania tag team fatal four-way is beyond stupid and tiresome. Some of us were waiting for Rousey to do this when Baszler got called up to the main roster. Why not a challenge for the tag belts?

I want to be clear: this doesn't excuse MTG's stupidity. I'm Christian (Roman Catholic), but this country was not founded as a "Christian nation". The First Amendment explicitly rejects it through the Establishment clause. She represents nothing but her district.

This is beyond disingenuous and deliberate distortion. Yes, before coming into power (the quote comes from 1928): Hitler became chancellor in 1933. Hitler used democratic means as his way to power, but he didn't want to share power with the Church.https://t.co/NY00U6LxBm https://t.co/Wu24mYcaCe

I'm not happy with the predictable outside-interference ending of the Reigns/Rhodes match at Wrestlemania. The referee was knocked out of the ring for a prolonged period, Heyman distracted the ref while Solo Sikoa spiked Rhodes in the throat. Disappointing.

Still fawning coverage of Trump on FNC. Remember in the 2016 primary while most candidates couldn't get interviews, FNC was covering Trump's campaign flights? Now they're covering Trump's trip to NYC to get arrested and take his mug shot.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) April 3, 2023
FNC is already promoting Trump's post-arrest address from MAL. Let me guess. He's going to call his arrest the worst injustice in the history of America; he's a "victim" of Victor's justice, the worst "hoax", not just on him but Trumpkins everywhere.

The typical historically illiterate progressives only know the propaganda they've been taught in schools. Read Lincoln's original inaugural address. He didn't care about slavery in the South, but he cared about losing tariff revenue. He didn't free a north slave.

I'm not a Trumpkin, but I'm sure as heck not impressed by a poll of people who don't even know the charges. Our constitutional system puts the burden of proof on the State, and Trump is guaranteed basic rights, including a fair trial.

I'm not a trained lawyer who knows the specifics of NY state law, statutes of limitations, the nature and extent of prior legal investigations of state and federal prosecutors. but Trump should be held to accountability for his misconduct, in or out of office. No excuses.

To be honest, last night I was switching back and forth between WWE RAW and NCAA basketball. I was confused by Lesnar's beatdown of tag partner Rhodes. Had Rhodes cost them the match with Reigns/Sikoa? Nope. They turned Lesnar heel to feud with Rhodes.

Listening to FNC on a side discussion of whether Trump had a "right", as he recently claimed, to access classified documents. (The interviewee dodged the question.) No, a former President does NOT have a need to know. A current POTUS has some discretion, say if he wanted advice.

No matter what happens in the NY court, passing off hush money as a business expense is fraud, pure and simple. Trump knew it when he signed off on tax returns. It's not political; he simply thought he could get away with it.

Have you heard just one Trumpkin, Republican or FNC commentator point why it was right for Cohen to go to prison for doing Trump's dirty work but it's only right for Trump to get off?
I remember being disappointed I didn't see Breakker surface on RAW-but maybe it would be Friday on Smackdown. I was surprised to hear Bron called out by Carmello. A goodbye to fans? But the segment was also odd in that no new challengers emerged.

Sad to see a "defund the police" leftist win the Chicago mayor's race. I had been tracking the race on Politico I think when I saw Vallas and Johnson in a dead heat at about 79% in--and then saw Johnson flip the lead. There have been rumors of police resignations if Johnson won.
