Major League Baseball is recognizing the stats of 7 different Negro Leagues between 1920 and 1948 into the record book. This comes almost four years after the league announced that the leagues would be classified as Major Leagues.



The seven leagues are as follows:

• Negro National League (I) (1920–1931)
• Eastern Colored League (1923–1928)
• American Negro League (1929)
• East-West League (1932)
• Negro Southern League (1932)
• Negro National League (II) (1933–1948)
• Negro American League (1937–1948)

Major League Baseball's embrace of the Negro Leagues is now recognized in the record book, resulting in new-look leaderboards fronted in several prominent places by Hall of Famer Josh Gibson and an overdue appreciation of many other Black stars.

Following the 2020 announcement that seven different Negro Leagues from 1920-1948 would be recognized as Major Leagues, MLB announced Wednesday that it has followed the recommendations of the independent Negro League Statistical Review Committee in absorbing the available Negro Leagues numbers into the official historical record.

Genuinely overwhelmed by the kind words here, including from people I've traded quite a few jabs with in the recent past. I honestly was expecting a lot more controversy (although I guess I might just not be seeing the critical posters because I have them on ignore... oh well).

Anyway thank you so much everyone!

Put together a sound legal strategy and strong legal team to handle legal challenges over canceling elections and invalidating results. Secondly, get security for candidates because any candidate who is an electoral threat to a Republican candidate will be at risk of being harmed.

None of that is going to happen. Trump isn’t going to fight tooth and nail to overturn an election that he isn’t a candidate in.

Some said he would not refuse to leave office in if he lost in 2020 but we see how that turned out. With that said he's not going to want a Democratic Congress because he wants the ability to do whatever he wants. Plus there are plenty of other Republicans who would want to tamper with elections so they don't really need his support to do attempt cancellations of and overturning of elections.

Republicans don’t have the power to cancel and overturn elections because they are run by the states, not the federal government. The only places they would be able to get away with it are in safe R states where they don’t need to rig elections in order to win.

And what happens if they still hold control in states like Georgia?

Make no mistake, Trump will try to centralise control around him and will likely succeed because of a court system stacked with sycophants.

Georgia is mostly controlled by the likes of Kemp and Raffensperger who are establishment GOPers who aren’t going to bend to Trump’s will.

Trump’s own judges consistently ruled against him in his many 2020 lawsuits. People like Cannon are the exception rather than the rule. I think we’ll se a lot of his own judges rule against him a lot more frequently than you think.

Western Cape Projection:

DA 55% (-1)
ANC 20% (-9)
PA 9% (new)
EFF 4% (-)
FF+ 2% (-)
MK 1% (new)

DA holds firm but PA emerges as a dangerous new challenger.

Yes, did Iceman miss the fact Trafalgar missed NV and Emerson and had Laxalt winning by 5 and Johnson winning by 5 and Johnson won by 1. NV has an R bias

These comments hit the nail on the head. They will probably overperform him by anywhere between 2-6 points (likely more for Tester/Brown), and for the most part, that will be enough for Democrats to win those swing states. Trump is a unique brand from the Republican Party. The Republican Party's brand among anyone under the age of 40 is dogcrap.

So you really think Trump is more popular than the average Republican. Like DeSantis or Haley would definitely be better general election candidates as they unlike Trump would have relatively clean slates which would pretty much doom any chances Biden has of winning reelection.

Haley and DeSantis were polling 1/3 pts behind in Rassy to Biden like Biden is polling 2/3 pts ahead of Trump in QU poll

Parents need to regulate what their child does on the internet instead of having the state pass an unenforceable law that's only going to make the problem worse. Remember Prohibition gang?

VPNs come in so many stripes and forms now that this law won't change anything other than VPN companies getting a lot more in profits. I'm willing to be that in a decade or so these Prono ID laws will get repealed because of how much of a failure they are

I am still looking at TX if Trump underperforming and we win the PVI by 10 we don't need TX at Prez level but at S level it's Allred

I am also looking at WV there has been no polls, if Justice was such the perfect candidate they would have him ahead

Nevermind about WV but we are getting close to end here and I have a sneaky suspicion that cuz will bail me out on TX and ALLRED not Biden win the state.

They always say the polls skew D but 22 was just as bad of miss of skewing R than 16 was skewing D

The Rs say Biden wasnt on ballot in 22 but his Approvals were still not 50%

The economy is improving that's why Biden is ahead in most QU polls
