> [@Jackmannii](#): > > Looks like former MLB pitcher John Rocker belongs here. To be fair, these are just _recent_ examples of Rocker being an evil MF – he has a long history of being a racist asshole, dating back to (at least) 1999. It’s telling that, in his Wikipedia entry, the section on “Controversies” is significantly longer than the section on “Baseball Career.” 😃 ---

I think the overlap between MAGAs and real-life heel characters is rather large. What makes Rocker noteworthy is his celebrity. Plenty of other jerky blowhards blowharding anonymously in truck stops and Waffle Houses all over this beleaguered land of ours. ETA: There was a long-time Atlanta Braves outfielder / big bat whose name escapes me who was also infamous as a real bully and racist turd once it became ~~not career suicide~~ fashionable to admit that. He’s not worth my time to look up, but I bet most of us here know who I’m talking about. ---

Seriously? They’re really saying the ice agent isn’t being afforded the same due process as her and that she was innocent until proven guilty? That’s what they’re going with? I must’ve missed the trial. I’m betting MN doesn’t even have the death penalty. They’re really complaining about the public jumping to conclusions WRT the ice agent’s actions? How long was it between her being shot and Trump/Noem announcing she was a domestic terrorist that purposely attempted to kill the ice agent with her car? Was it even an hour? Seems it might be time for the Mayors to fire their (I’m assuming appointed) police chiefs and the people to recall their (I’m assuming elected) sheriffs, at least the ones on board with this. I’m curious how this is going to jibe with Walz’s GTFO to ice? ISTM each city’s PD is going to have to decide if they’re going to follow Walz and not help, or even actively resist ice or follow the FOP and stand with them. It’s going to be bad either way. I think the local PDs need a reminder that “I’m just following orders” isn’t a valid defense. ---
