  1. Our luck Trump will win and the 3 GOP guys will retire and Sotomayor will die. I’m sorry Ms Jackson, it’s just you and Kagan for real!
  2. Biden is old as fuck. While I don’t expect it and I certainly don’t think there’s any kind of conspiracy for it, it would not shock me at all if Biden encountered health problems in the next 9 months that forced him to drop out. It sucks that the other side wouldn’t see that for what it would be, and instead would see it as proof that a cabal of babyblood drinkers is pulling the strings of world politics behind the scenes.
  3. Well MarALago is worth enough for him to just do a cash out refi…
  4. Singleton cannot be sent to the minors without being designated for assignment and exposed to a waiver claim by another team. It is certainly possible he would go unclaimed (he did last season, that’s how Houston was able to sign him). I am one of the bigger proponents of Singleton, but Cabbage is a better potential fit for the roster; he’s got just as much raw power but much more value in the field and on the bases. If Cabbage has a good spring then I think it’s very likely Houston will take their chances designating Singleton (or trading him). If I were a GM of a team with shitty options at 1B/DH (Padres, A’s, Rockies, Nats), I would try to trade for Singleton.
  5. A black Democrat is not going to defeat an incumbent white male GOP Senator.
  6. Jesus Christ can yall please just put that stupid shitbird on ignore? Fuck me running.
  7. I think the learning over the last 10 years regarding Texas and Florida is that Mexican Americans and Cuban Americans do not vote blue.
  8. Brown or Javier taking a big step forward would be huge. Astros have 10 viable SP in Framber, JV (threw off a mound today), Javier, Brown, Urquidy, France (still on track to be healthy on opening day), Bielak, Arrighetti, Dubin, and Blanco. Those last 4 are not guys you want to count on bigly but would be fine BoR guys if needed for a few weeks. If Framber or JV get hurt you’re pretty fucked no matter what; you don’t just go out and immediately replace a Cy Young candidate. Snell and Montgomery still being available and Crane showing he’s in fuck it mode with the Hader signing does give some comfort.
  9. Arizona and Nevada could turn red as people move due to climate/water. But Georgia is a different animal; it is blue because of Atlanta alone, and I think those voters are less likely to move due to climate. Without any of GA, PA, and MI, it is extremely hard to plot a path for the GOP, even if AZ and NV flip.
  10. Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia should be safe blue states by 2032. I can’t see any blue states trending the opposite way that will counter that. 2028 is probably the last presidential election where a staunch conservative/maga candidate has any chance whatsoever, assuming fair elections still take place by then.
  11. Man I don’t know. I say all this as someone who voted for him in 2020 and will proudly vote for him over Trump again in November. In the moment where he most needed to show he is of sound mind he failed to finish his thought several times and made several mistakes (e.g. Mexico instead of Israel). There were certainly moments where he seemed very sharp and appeared to have a firm grasp of the subject matter he was speaking about. But in my view it is clear he is suffering from significant age-related cognitive impairment. This is not good.
  12. I would guess PA will be pretty safe, and I’m not all that worried about MI. WI and even moreso MN I think will be swing states where Dems have a slight edge, so it’ll depend on the candidates and external factors.
  13. Flip timeline broken down further: Soon: NC When the Boomers are mostly dead: OH, SC, MT Within 25 years: IA, AK, TX, FL, IN, KY, WV, KS, MO, NE Never: OK, AR, LA, TN, MS, AL, ID, UT, WY, SD, ND Before that first large group flips there’s bound to be a major party shift of some kind that renders the prediction worthless. But NC is in play this cycle and OH, SC, and MT could be real battlegrounds by 2032. (PS: I don’t know shit.)
  14. I just feel like Montana is ripe for migration from the west coast to flip it within the next 15 years. With so few people and as close as it already is, it wouldn’t take much.
  15. Predicted Order of states flipping blue (compared to 2020 presidential): North Carolina, …(long gap)…Ohio, Montana, South Carolina, …(long gap)…Texas, Florida, Iowa
  16. Strained calf was my first big “fuck me im old” moment. Immobile for a month, couldn’t run for 2 months. All because I hopped down one stair. wtf. Other thing to expect/beware of is a hernia. I didn’t even do anything strenuous and all of a sudden I’m having surgery and can’t do shit for a few weeks. Like you, my trajectory over the last 5 years (ages 38-43) has me very skeptical that I will live to 70. Now I know why dudes go crazy in their mid 40s trying to capture what little life/joy they still can.
  17. We looked incredibly poorly coached last night and Hunter played about as poorly as I’ve ever seen someone with his talent level play. Why our offense didn’t run thru Disu in the 1st half, I’ll never know. Kudos to the team for clawing back into the game, but based on my view from last night, the tourney would be a waste of time for this team, and the longer we let Terry hang around the worse off we’ll be.
  18. No Pritzker? I feel like a Newsome/Warnock ticket or a Whitmer/Kelly ticket would crush it in 2028. I personally like Beshear. Pete and AOC might be the two most intelligent, charismatic politicians in the country right now but I feel like they both will have a hard time getting into the POTUS or Vp slot.
  19. I think Caratini (and Coleman and the other lesser adds) were Brown, but Hader and Altuve were mainly Crane. I think any spend over about $30M will be Crane’s idea and he will be the lead negotiator.
  20. 1-4 got done, with #4 way over my expectations. Theres still quite a few decent players available so #6 may happen too. I doubt #5 and #7 will happen but if they sign a SP I could see Urquidy traded for prospects.
  21. It’ll be at Liberty or it won’t be affiliated with a school.
  22. I agree with just about all of this. I think there will be 2 main drivers that reduce the number of schools who play: money and injuries. Schools on the coasts will opt out because football is dangerous; they may try to start playing with much different rules that dramatically reduce injury risk, but I don’t see how that will appeal to enough people to generate the same money. I half expect soccer to take hold as the main sport in those areas. Smaller schools will be forced out because they won’t be making money; some of those schools may field teams that play at a lower level with unpaid players, similar to the old days. To your point about the ability to opt out of classes, I don’t think that will be necessary; I think there will be degree plans made up that allow athletes to get credit for all the training activities they already do and will let them out of attending lower level coursework where they have to mingle with all the other students. Those degree plans are pretty much already in place, I think they will just be taken the rest of the way such that all these guys have to do is practice and play football. I do think the NFL’s popularity will be a leading indicator for college football. As long as the NFL remains popular, there will be enough demand to keep the 30-60 most viable schools going.
  23. Another decade?! FUCK that. Ideal scenario is he suffers a MASSIVE stroke and spends 2-3 weeks flubbering around in a hospital bed, gasping for air and suffering while screaming incomprehensible gibberish, with frequent videos leaking out with false reports that he’s recovering. Then he dies. And that video leaks too.
  24. It’ll be the ONE time that piece of shit actually does have the biggest crowds ever for something.
