Astros hang on barely for a 3-2 win. Dusty Baker and Justin Verlander are a combined 112 years old. Right about now they feel more like about 212.

Open message to some castigating Dusty Baker for leaving McCullers in too long in World Series Game 3, but now complaining he took Javier out too early in Game 4 after 97 no-hit pitches. There’s a reason Dusty is managing yet another MLB team deep into postseason & you’re not.

Even Tim McCarver listening to John Smoltz is thinking, “John, can you just STFU for a minute?”

Being born in South Africa and then immigrating from Canada, Muskrat could never run for President. Is his having bought Twitter his way of saying, “If I can’t be quarterback I’m going to buy and tank the team?

So if all of us real people on Twitter who take this app seriously refuse to pay $8 a month, a blue check will just mean you’re a sucker, paying for advertising, and/or being bankrolled by a PAC or foreign adversary?

Good news. Paul Pelosi has been released from hospital. Bad news: Conservative media like Fox News STILL refuses to acknowledge what this was – the planned assassination of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Georgia voters, forget flying plane. Would you trust Herschel Walker to pick up your kids from school & get them home safely? Or to be your cat or dog sitter when you were on vacation? Walker cannot be trusted, period. Especially in the Senate. Vote for Reverend Warnock.

Hey drama loving media. Here’s a question to get you some headlines. Ask GOP candidates POINT-BLANK on camera. “If you believe life begins at conception & you are anti-choice, will you be voting to ban IVF treatments?”

Stephen Colbert talking about Arizona Secretary of State GOP candidate Mark Finchem , part of “Stop the Steal, AND January 6 mob. “You don’t get to attack democracy & then ask to run it. That’s like a bank robber saying ‘put money in the bag but also a job application.”

Lost in election noise, Louis DeJoy still Postmaster General. My ballot’s been received but mailed papers for work 1st class certified mail from Calif to Chicago on Oct 27. On Nov 3 it’s still somewhere “in transit.” If you haven’t mailed ballot, drop it off in person.

Anyone want to complain tonight about Dusty Baker’s handling his pitching staff in the World Series?

And good for the Astros as far as putting attention on baseball.

Not only did the team combine for the second-no hitter in MLB history, they did it on a night when there was no NCAA or NFL football.

Stephen Colbert, on an Arizona judge who ruled against armed “poll watchers.” Arizona judge ruled armed election monitors to stay 250 feet away from drop boxes.

“I think it’s fair to say, democracy is in danger when ballot boxes take out a restraining order.”

DOJ doesn’t grant immunity like people give out candy on Halloween. How long until Velveeta Voldemort says he never knew Kash Patel

Murders in major cities have actually gone DOWN in 2022 from 2021. But you would never know it from Fox News. Which covers every murder in a blue state they can find, especially if the suspect is a person of color. Fear itself is winning.

Among the more ridiculous things GOP wants us to believe is that election liar Ginni Thomas never talked to her husband about the 2020 election.

–

Kari Lake denies that she mocked Paul Pelosi being attacked, despite her laughing and joking on video about the attack during a campaign event. Should we be shocked that an election liar wants us to believe her over our lying eyes and ears?

–

Mike Pence on Instagram “I was always loyal to president Tr*mp but in the end came on difficult times.” Might “Difficult times” be the best understatement ever for “he tried to have me killed?”

All joking aside, , here’s really terrifying thing about possibility of some radical GOP candidates winning in the midterms: Americans always say, if it doesn’t work out, we can vote them out. But many radical Republican election liars want to eliminate future fair elections.
