Trump has referred to his opponents as “vermin” who are trying to “destroy America and to destroy the American dream,” and claimed that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our nation.” The Hitlerian overtones have not gone unnoticed. https://t.co/rlj4bRGKzu

"When the ball left Thompson’s bat I knew it was going to hit the wall, but it didn’t occur to me it was going over. There were very few HR`s hit into lower deck at the Polo Grounds, because of the overhang from the upper deck. Only a line shot ever went there"

Located off the Harlem River in Manhattan at the footsteps of a beautiful hill inside an open meadow. This hill is termed the "Coogan’s Bluff" and the spectators often stood on it to view the game without buying a ticket.

More renovations with extension of the double deck & addition of center-field bleachers & clubhouse. But the new arrangement made it for suitable for football than baseball. Yankee Stadium still had more desirable seats than Polo Grounds for watching baseball pic.twitter.com/4FSU5YXqrg

"Dick Allen played the game in the most conservative era in baseball history. It was a time of change & protest in the country, and baseball reacted against all that. They saw him as a threat to the game."

Right-wing threats against election officials

One reason I don’t think either side will accept a loss in the upcoming presidential election.

There is no reason why Democrats would stage the 1/6 insurrection

Biden won.

There is no reason why Antifa or any liberals would stage the 1/6/21 insurrection. The Trump cult won’t accept responsibility for their criminal actions so they lie and blame others.

The latest media failure in Trump coverage

The networks have done less coverage of Trump rallies. However, he has manipulated them again by turning his court appearances into rallies which they will cover. I stopped watching cable news and have no regrets.

Trump has figured out that outlets won’t cover his campaign rallies but will cover this. So, campaign rallies out. Courtside rants, in. https://t.co/GSrbAFVgSW
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) January 11, 2024

Hopefully you will give other candidates equal time if you cover these rallies. The media has learned very little from
Trump’s manipulation of them since the 2016 election.
