The cost of things

Yes, the Los Angeles Dodgers are a good baseball team, with the top payroll in MLB

The Dodgers, Braves (#9 in payroll), & Brewers (#19) will all win their NL division.

But to put the discrepancy in perspective, LA’s payroll is more than Milwaukee and Atlanta’s put together.

ICYMI – “Record ratings for women’s FIBA World Cup on TNT- average of 1.2 million people watched USA beat France in Sunday’s gold medal game in Germany”

Fox News viewers “What FIBA world cup?”

Fox just covers Sophie Cunningham & 2 washed up NBA players’ WNBA draft stunt.

We are just nine days from NBC SNL season opener. How are the writers EVER going to narrow down the potential dozens of cold opens?

Amy Klobuchar: “People didn’t want to go to a war in Iran, and now they’re finding out it costs $40 billion, and he’s still asking for $70 billion more. This election is going to be about values, it’s going to be about people’s priorities. Do they want to spend $70 billion more on this war on Iran, or do they want to get two years of the ACA tax credits?”

It’s actually worse than that. The costs Senator Klobuchar is citing on the war don’t include the benefits paid not just to family members of military killed in the war, but the cost for medical care for the hundreds/thousands of Americans who’ve been injured . Some unknown number of them are permanently disabled.

WTAF?

Now Don Jr. has an email to supporters attacking James Talarico because Talarico once named his favorite drag queen.

(Anyone over 55, including his dad, loved Geraldine.)

Now Trump’s moving his abuser behavior to Canada and Europe.

He has “broken up” with Canada. But if the country moves on to partner with the EU, he wants to punish them both.

“If I can’t have her, no one will.”
