  1. The chief of the IDF already loudly proclaimed that Bibi has no strategic goals for the Gaza fiasco. Cleaning out Hamas in an area, then not having anything to replace them with so Hamas shows back up. 

    As I said earlier, this whole fiasco must be viewed through the lens of Bibi holding onto power. And unfortunately, there aren't enough votes in the Knesset to force an early election.

  2. Remember how salty Michael Malone was after the Game 7 loss? One reason he was so mad is that you could hear the Wolves celebrating over his presser. Someone didn't think this through.

    @GopherRock

    MN GOP going to pick Royce White to run against Klobuchar??

    Did they see what Herschel managed??

     

    Amy Klobuchar has been an excellent Senator. It doesn't hurt that her seat has come up in blue wave environments.

    2006: Dubya dragging down Republicans across the map. Gets elected despite being on the same ballot that elected Tim Pawlenty to a second term.

    2012: This ballot had Obama at the top, and the anti-gay-marriage and Photo ID Required constitutional amendments. Both measures are rejected, with Obama and Klobuchar's blowout wins  

    2018: Blue wave. Klobuchar re-elected, Walz elected the first time.

    2024: See the above Tweet.

    The only time the GOP has sent out a legitimate challenger was 06, with sitting Rep. Mark Kennedy. Otherwise it's been nothing but rotten, ends-blown-out tomato cans.

    She’s out for VP, why is she continuing with the tour of self humiliation? If dotard wins she can still get a plum cabinet position or maybe even the extreme court.

    She's not out of VP at all. If anything, this whole business is making her the favorite. Remember what Trump thinks of dogs.

    Odds he shows up to graduation ?

     

    The primary financier of the Minnesota GOP since 2012 is currently serving 21 years for sex trafficking.

    A Republican should actually win something here for this state to still be considered purple. They haven't won shit since 2006.

    South Dakota has low unemployment and high wages?  In this horrid economy?  Doesn’t have low crime too?

    Only if you're working 7-12s at the meat processing plant.

    What is the threshold for the abortion rights amendment on the Florida ballot?

    60.

    IMHO this measure passing would be the biggest upset of the cycle. 

    The bigger question: Does the abortion ballot measure have enough coattails to knock off Trump or Rick Scott?

    I could buy Georgia going back to Trump, if for no other reason than I'm skeptical of a state in the deep Confederacy voting for Biden twice. But Arizona isn't going red.

    I remember 2022 being essentially a complete disaster for republicans. 

    I honestly can’t think of much that is different from 2020 except for the emigration from California (largely red voters) to other already red states. 

    Abortion abortion abortion. This is a big reason why Arizona is going to stay blue, and is one of the two big question marks for the presidential.

    1. The Republican nominee for governor in NC makes Roger Taney look like an abolitionist. If the Democrat wins governor by daylight, does he drag Biden across the wire there? 

    2. Abortion on the ballot in Florida is unlikely to get the 60% needed for passage. However, does this ballot measure crank up blue turnout enough to spoil the party for Rick Scott and/or Trump? Florida is also the only spot on the board for the blue team to try playing offense in the Senate (sorry Texas, but if Beto couldn't get rid of Cruz in 2018, it's not happening now), so resources will not be a problem.

    My pick: same as 2020 except Biden wins North Carolina.

    That's surprising. I haven't looked at any polls lately, but the Tories haven't been pretty far down in them lately. If they are, why not wait for improvement and the scheduled elections?

    I don't get the timing, either.

    I've also read that over the winter, there were a couple of by-elections where Israel somehow became the focal point, and they resulted in a third party winning the seat. Maybe the thought is to use that result and somehow end up with a hung Parliament with them as the largest bloc, and form a coalition government from there. 

    But if that was the thought, why didn't he call the election then?

    On an aside, I feel that there is more knowledge of the Westminster style of Parliament in this thread than in much of the US combined.

    Many people are saying it.  Lots of people.  People with tears in their eyes.  Tremendous people.  

     

    The reason why the people around him have tears in their eyes is because he smells like he got run over by a herd of sheep with diarrhea.

    Why would Utah get the Olympics again so soon?

    Because they're the only place in the Americas that could host the Winter Olympics tomorrow, and the IOC is quickly running out of places to put them.

    The IOC wanted them for 2030, but hard on the heels of LA 2028 was a no-go for Salt Lake.
