Okay sure this is some drama, but how about we investigate all the people named in the files first...

This is a baseball subreddit, featuring an article by a Pulitzer prize winning sports journalist. I agree with you, but multiple people can work on different things at once.

Yeah, I don't disagree. But that's not what this guy does? I just don't see the point in complaining about a sports journalist.. reporting on corruption in sports.

A lot of Redditors have written fan-fics in their heads about Pablo investigating the current administration.

Reddit is pretty much a fan fiction website. Look at the front page.

it’s honestly just from being chronically online. i’m chronically online too, but i know how to separate things in my mind. i know that i can’t get mad about things online and then bring those things into other areas of my life

a large amount of ppl don’t know that. so that’s how end up with comments like that persons.

and it’s unfortunate because in online spaces, you’re basically facing a crowd waiting for you to say [insert cause] and then when you say anything but that, you’re just written off as supporting the bad guys, leaving no space for actual discourse

Why not both?

Lol yeah, its crazy how much people in thos country have fallen for shit like this.

No, its not ok to do something just because someone else is doing something and people can work on multiple things at once. Additionally, doing nothing because doing something doesnt fix the problem completely isnt excusable.

Republicans like to talk about the corruption of american values when they are, by far, the largest source of its corruption. Sometimes I feel like Im taking crazy pills. I can understand why rich people do the shit they do but I just cant understand the people defending them.

Both things should be investigated. In this case you’ve got an owner using his insurance companies as piggy banks using the money that’s supposed to go to policies people are paying for.

Or how about they do both? This is either just lazy karma farming or we're really at the point where people are trying to distract from other major crimes and events by constantly bringing up the Epstein files.

"We were going to do the Investigation but apparently the blue Jays have been commiting fraud with their "loonie dogs" promotion. Those Canadians have been ripping MLB off for decades!!"

In this house the Loonie Dogs promo is legal, end of story! ☝🏽

Pablo Torre also did a multiple episode story about Epstein's connections to Harvard. We can have both, and he can do both

If Pablo can somehow get Trump removed give him a statue
