Don't forget Marge

I still really don't know who this guy is. The left's Joe Rogan wanna be ? The more I learn about this guy, the less I like

Of course l won’t forget Marge. I met her once. I’m pretty sure she was the originator of “bring your dog to the ballpark” games. She would show up with her St. Bernard and give Reds stickers to all the kids who approached her. It was pretty cool for us kids at the time.

And yeah, she was super racist. Eric Davis was her “million dollar n****r.” But Eric is still here, and she is not, and wokeness has done a number on her legacy. But 1990 is it for me, the only year a team l cared about that actually won it all that l remember. And Marge was in charge then.

I gather Piker is more the left’s version of Charlie Kirk. Going to college campuses and engaging in debates. It would have been cool to see them square off.

I wasn’t familiar with Hasan Piker, but believe it or not l actually watched the almost 2 hour clip in the OP where he spoke at Yale. It took me 4-5 sittings to get through it. 

I recall you’re a fan of the show Foundation on AppleTV+ so l know you’ll get this reference, but he’s sort of trying to be the Hari Seldon of our time. It was a debate over the fall of the American empire, and his position is that it’s already in motion and he’s interested in it being as less messy as possible.

It was an odd format for a debate. At Yale they apparently hiss if you say something they disagree with? That took some getting used to. But there were opposing viewpoints brought up, and gobs of facts and historical references throughout. It was honestly pretty interesting.

One of those historical references involved Chiquita (previously known as United Fruit Company) who basically owned most of Guatemala in the early 20th century, and the CIA backed coup in 1954 when UFC’s profit margin became threatened. 

That hit a little close to home because Chiquita’s HQ was located in Cincy for many years, and their former CEO was Carl Lindner, who was also the majority owner of the Reds for a time. The Reds new majority owner is Bob Castellini who also made his fortune in produce, so l’m just now realizing that my favorite baseball team has been run by people who sling fruits and veggies for the past 30 years and maybe that’s why we suck so bad.

No. But as always, funny to see what the cult is attacking next.

Is Trump being depicted as a doctor in the image he posted on truth Social?
