allow me to explain the 2024 election in baseball terms.....
"Hi, thanks for joining us here. I'm the GM of the team. I hear you are interested in playing for us."
"yes! hi."
"So, I see you hit .150 last season with zero home runs, but your agent says you want to be the cleanup hitter."
"I didn't hit .150. That's fake news."
"but baseball reference says..."
"You can't believe baseball reference. It is run by the deep state."
"So what did you hit?"
".500"
"Wow! Okay, well we'll just your word for it on that. Now, it says here you wrote a book where you claim you want to undermine the team you play for so you can make a ton of money betting against the team your play for."
"I didn't write that book. i don't know who did."
"It was you, and your agent, and your mom. here you all are at the book signing event."
"I had nothing to do with it. i don't support it. That's AI generated."
"Oh, well, once again i guess we'll just take your word for it. Oh look, here is a New York times article saying you denied having anything to do with the book, without any other context given. So i guess that settles it. Will a 4 year contract for a billion dollars be good?"
"Make it two billion. Oh and I'm going to put my agent in charge of running the team."
"Yeah, that's cool. Let's sign the contract."
. I think of that Van Halen song every time I see or hear about Macron.
