I’ve been pretty much behind this. He said the best hitters in baseball don’t swing at every pitch, they swing at the right pitch.
He was saying he was waiting for the right “pitch” from Trump amidst the blowback by democrats against congress’s inaction.
These tariffs feel like the right pitch. Thoughts?

He’s right in that there’s only so much Dems can do without majorities
John Olivers response essentially mirrors my own
“We will swing for the pitches that matter? what does that mean exactly? is it not important to stand up for Immigrants who are being terrorized by ICE, is it not important to stand up for Trans people who are being erased from history, is it not important to stand up for government employees who are being bullied out of their jobs? you will only swing for the pitches that matter, when right now it looks like you’re striking out looking”
He’s proof that age isn’t the biggest problem with Dems.
I’ve been looking at minority house leader Hakeem Jeffries strategy. He’s using the Mitch McConnell Fabian strategy by playing the long game. It’s a good strategy if you are using it against a traditional political opposition. The problem is the MAGA Nazis are not traditional opposition. Minority Leader Jeffries need to use a more aggressive form of Fabian against MAGA. What should he do? He should simultaneously work with the progressive wing and draft a plan with them. Use prog like an attack dog like Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Have both Centrist and Prog Dems go do town halls in the red district. Work with alternative media like Midas Touch along young influencers like Adam Mockler and that Parker kid to spread the good message. In fact, young liberal influencers should crash Conservative college and challenge the students. Next, Rep. Jeffries should work with Liberal billionaires by having them fund and create organizations to combat right wing activist groups like Moms for Liberty. Finally last but not least, Dems or left organizations to try to find a way to convince Dems living in Alabama or Florida to move to Georgia and help turn it super purple to blue.
Yes, wait until tariffs cause the stock market to crash and the ultra wealthy are harmed (along with everyone else)
People being disappeared? Not the right pitch.
Trans people being refused medical treatment and subject to inspection of their genitals? Not the right pitch.
Women losing their rights to bodily autonomy? Not the right pitch.
The POTUS shutting down free speech? Not the right pitch.
Thousands of government workers being fired? Not the right pitch.
Government officials passing top secret information via chat? Not the right pitch.
But … whoa! Cause the ultra wealthy to suffer a drop in their portfolios????? WHOA!!! No!!! WE CAN’T HAVE THAT!!!! SWING AT THAT PITCH.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Hakeem Jeffries can go fuck himself.
sighs As someone in favor of… I dunno, a good Canadian economy, I have to disagree. Ever since Nor-Tel, Canada hasn’t really had any major companies. We just have branch plants of American ones. The major thing Canada has is her natural resources. When Canada responds with “Elbows Up”, that means they are fighting back. That means that the US won’t have most of her resources.
