The Frankish Reich

All that could make sense, except that actual voting trends at the macro level (highly educated city/suburban precincts voting overwhelmingly for democrats) supports the validity of such polls. Yeah, all those wealthy/highly educated precincts are filled with Marxist-Leninists. Grow up.

1. It is true. 2. He shouldn't have said it out loud. By the way, not "cute an harmless." I referred to Leonard Cohen saying that at a certain age an old man goes from being revolting to being adorable ...

Biden won college-educated white women by 9 points in 2020. This survey has him ahead by 17 with them. Trump won college-educated white men by 3 points in 2020, but now Biden is ahead by 10 points with them. Biden also has a lead among older voters. The erosion in his support is coming from younger and minority voters. So other than that, you synopsis is correct. 🙄 https://www.npr.org/2024/05/01/1248249250/election-poll-trump-biden-voters

Well I don't see anywhere in the story that he actually had explosive devices. But yes, the NY bail reform law is awful.

I thought that was the kind of straight/unfiltered talk you guys value!

If they want to repeal the 14th Amendment, come right out and say it. Otherwise just STFU.

That's because there's good reason to believe that Ray Epps egged him on.

Are you sure that Lord Seth Phoenix of Corfu isn't an illegal from Greece? A time-traveler from the 15th century? A Game of Thrones extra?

I actually agree with you on that.

Depends. Is my date are my dates paid escorts? If so, I'd have them do a little golden shower show on it. Notice how quickly the approved Trumpy narrative changed. Yesterday: antifa has infiltrated student demonstrations. See, we were right! They're a bunch of communists! Today: they are pretending these student protests are not really student protests. Don't fall for it!

I think his wife is the brains behind the Fetterman brand.

Who ya got? Is it too much to ask for a presidential candidate that hasn't used an alias for shady deals?

I like how Fetterman went from brain-dead lurch to America's leading truth-sayer the minute he started saying culturally conservative things.

Nevermind, Kristi. The dog was 14 months old, so depending on what definition you prefer, perhaps not a puppy. Shoot the bastard!

So I watched a bit. Lame.

Right. It sounds like she's smart and has good management skills, so it shouldn't be that surprising that Terry looked to her as the next in line.

Just pointing out that someone's gonna inherit that accumulated wealth. Sometimes I think the kids of boomers are just annoyed that they are too healthy and living too long.

Well, as one of the tail-end boomers who's sinking a ton of money into the human capital of his kids (college and beyond), I don't think Gen Z has anything to complain about.

Yes. It still amazes me that three decades after we apparently passed the leadership torch to the baby boomer generation, we've somehow reverted back to leadership by the ancient pre-Boomer generation. Will someone step up? Gen X, I'm looking at you.

That's one for you, nineteen for me. - Taxman (George Harrison/Beatles) Inspired by George being stunned when he found out that the marginal tax rate in the UK was 95%.

Perfect. I had not seen the second video. There is no better response to the fools who keep saying it was a "mass trespassing incident." He came in violence, and will no doubt be spending the next 6+ years in prison.

I'm sorry we didn't get to the "evacuate or you'll be expelled" thing. That would've called their bluff. Meanwhile, the little careerists at Harvard are doing their own protest in a much more genteel (hah!) manner: From limited press coverage and videos, I expected that rank-and-file demonstrators would decline to talk and would refer me to designated spokespeople. I expected demonstrators to hold up keffiyehs to hide their faces. Instead, I found a semicircle of 10 people who spoke with me for an hour. I asked them to help me understand why they were in the yard. Initially they referred me to their banner, with three demands focusing on divestment from Israel-related companies. I told them this was small-bore thinking, useless because others would replace any withdrawn investment, and also intellectually timid because they weren’t engaging on the big ideas of how to solve the conflict. They replied that they are only students. I pointed out that they are Harvard students and should be able to engage intellectually. https://www.wsj.com/articles/harvards-protesters-arent-as-obstinate-as-you-might-expect-267b13d2 Something you could put on your resume as demonstrating commitment to DEI without actually causing a ruckus!

True. That's because Trump has turned it into a pure Cult of Personality. We saw that with how DeSantis (more Trumpy than Trump on policy) fizzled. There is never a Juan Peron Jr. And Melania ain't Evita even if she were eligible. To be fair, that's what happened with Obama too. There was a kind of Cult of Personality there too, and Hillary (and then Biden) clearly didn't have the same political talent. I don't know where the Republicans go in 2028 whether or not Trump wins. I do see some new talent on the Democratic side. Watch out for Wes Moore. I don't even know much about him on the policy side, but he's got the "it" factor. The dingoes.

I'm just saying that I've personally seen the incredible (and very short term) effects of a cortisone injection on someone with severe arthritis. High-dose Prednisone too. It just makes sense to me that the "energetic" Joe may have more to do with the timing of these typical old guy meds than with some extraordinary amphetamine thing as has been speculated about way too much.

What I'm hearing from some (not all). - Keon Coleman would've been a great draft pick if he'd run a 4.49 - Sedrick Van Pran-Granger (we gotta settle on a shorthand here) would've been a great pick if he had longer arms - Cole Bishop would've been a great pick if he played offense - DeWayne Carter would've been a great pick if he'd been taken in the 5th round instead of the 3rd In other words, if these guys all had Top 10 overall attributes, they'd have been steals. Nevermind that we never would've had a Top 10 pick. EDIT: I have spoken.
