  1. Bin Laden’s death will be NOTHING compared to Trump’s. Maybe if Trump lives another 15+ years and doesn’t die until he’s been completely out of the spotlight for 5+ years. Maybe. But if he dies this decade a shitload of people are going to be partying like nothing we’ve seen in the last 70 years.
  2. I might be wrong, but I think a lot of people are going to be utterly shocked at how much intense public celebration there will be when Trump dies, especially if it happens within the next 5 years.
  3. Kennedy: Farmer (downgrade) Campbell : Gasparino (push) Brown : Brown (upgrade) Guillemette : Schuessler/Galvan (downgrade) O’Dowd : O’Dowd (upgrade) Daly : Powell (push) Thomas : Thomas (upgrade) Flores : Flores (upgrade) Duplantier : Misc (push)
  4. 2 true freshman in the starting OF is high risk, as is counting on Witt as an ace. But I am excited about our team and their ceiling is very high.
  5. I’ve kinda figured for the last few years that Rubio was the one laying back in the cut waiting for Trumps time to end.
  6. Has the US ever gotten the economic benefits of the war machine without risking American soldiers’ lives? Everybody wins. (Except the Russians and Ukrainians.)
  7. The CHIPS Act and the infrastructure bill sure seems like some of the best money the US Govt will ever spend. The IRA and PACT seem like they’re too big, but needed to be done. ARPA seems like it was big mistake that exacerbated inflation and paid a lot of the wrong people. Still, overall that’s a very good resume for old Joe.
  8. I bought a home in north central Austin for $128k in 2007. It rented for ~$1300 at the time. Now it’s worth $400k and rents for only $2200. The math just doesn’t work right now.
  9. It’s the clearest anecdote I have seen of how fucking stupid those people are. I know several people who did it. And these are people who also believe anyone disfiguring a private business with graffiti and shit should be shot. But it really is amazing to me how every major policy complaint about Biden from those fuckers has been addressed. Inflation. Boom, fixed. Dependence on foreign oil. Boom, fixed. Economic growth. Boom, fixed. And now he’s got congress agreed to a deal to address the border.
  10. Where are all your “I did that” gas pump stickers now you dumb motherfuckers
  11. That comment “hear me out” made me lmfao
  12. If you feel like your boss/principal is the source of your anxiety, change schools. A fresh start might do the trick. If you’re getting anxiety from criticism anywhere (including outside of work), then maybe a visit to a therapist and doc will help. There are meds that you can take only when you are feeling acutely anxious rather than taking every day. Xanax is the most popular but Clonazepam worked better for me; if you have an addictive personality then those might not be a good idea but they were moderately helpful for me.
  13. Melton will strike out a lot more than Reddick ever did. Melton will also hit more HR and steal more bases. Other than being fairly athletic lefthanded OF, they’re not very similar. Melton might be the midpoint of Reddick and Joey Gallo.
  14. Are Werchan and Cummings not expected to be in the everyday lineup?
  15. I just want to see the pathetic man fall down.
  16. Holy fuck is the AZ GOP really going to run Kari Fucking Lake??? Yeah never mind, they’re not winning that seat. One can dream that the only seat they pick up is Manchin’s. I’ll take 49-51 all day with Harris as VP.
  17. Yep, I will be really surprised if the GOP picks up more than 2 seats. They’ll pick up Manchin’s and probably Sinema’s. I am actually thinking they have a better chance of unseating Jacky Rosen in NV than beating Brown or Tester or Casey. Seeing Baldwin at only +2 is discouraging but I think she’ll pull it out. I’m also a little worried about Stabenow’s seat in Michigan.
  18. I think Trump is delusional. But if he’s not, his best chance at becoming president is for Biden to die or become incapacitated sometime in the next 9 months, and for the Democrats to fail to quickly rally around another candidate capable of beating Trump (not Harris, likely Newsome or Pritzker). Otherwise his hopes rest on funny business in Arizona and Georgia and Wisconsin, which seems kind of unlikely. He’s not winning Pennsylvania or Michigan. So he has to win all 3 of AZ, MI, and GA, regardless of what happens with Nevada. He lost in 2020 and nothing has changed in his favor since then. His base has shrunk, his opponent has succeeded, and the rules have gone further against him. If Biden lives, Trump loses, barring a gigantic geopolitical shift.
  19. “It’s a mute point.” She busted out that gem for the 12,348th time yesterday. My response was “Shit I wish it was. Nothing with you is mute.” She has also begun grossly overusing the word “narrative”. At the slightest disagreement she’ll say something like “stop trying to control the narrative!” Drives me fucking crazy.
  20. Can you name a person who has ever run for president or is running for president who you really liked and did or would enthusiastically vote for?
  21. I’ve had jobs at 5 different restaurants and 4 different retail businesses. A lot of retail is standing around doing nothing. Restaurant work is often hectic if you’re a server or bartender, but the kind of restaurant job a retiree would take would very likely be much slower paced. Think server in a shopping center lunch spot or weekday bartender in a hotel bar.
  22. I hope both of yall are doing a shtick. Nivek is in total violation of the spirit of the thread and Enemy seems aggy.
  23. Restaurant and retail offer flexible schedules and often low-effort work, but the pay is often terrible. I have been thinking about maybe working 20 hrs/week at the HEB across the street from my house. Maybe the bakery or butcher shop. But the thought of dealing with whiny housewives all day gives me hives. If all I did was bake bread and shit without dealing with customers much, that might be cool. Keep me active and learn a new skill. Gig work offers the ultimate flexibility but the pay is terrible and you have to deal with people. Part time consulting using your career experience would likely be the best money by far, and depending on your skills the flexibility might be there too, but if you’re retiring because you hate your job, doing it part time probably isn’t the answer. If money is even in the top 3 reasons why you intend to work part time in retirement, you’re probably way better off just working full time a few more years until money is no longer a factor. And at that point volunteering would probably be a better use of your time if you’re just looking to stay busy and socially engaged.
  24. 0% chance of a debate. Neither side wants it. Biden would do it if challenged fairly but Trump will not debate under any conditions.
