  1. This tired trope irritates me. New Magas turn 18 every day. Blue collar folks, rural folks, children of fundies. there's truth to it. if more of those 65+s die off, that cuts more into trump. if you add more 18s, that adds more to biden. However, what is left unseen is whether a 45 year old votes again like a 45 year old 4 years later when he's 49, or if he still votes like he's 45. I think the assumption is that because the candidates are the same, the vote history will be stickier than the age defaults. Someone voted for Trump as a 45 year old will do so as a 49, and same for Biden.
  2. no other player i know of really turned it on offensively so late like he did. good hitter until he is 30. great hitter thereafter. significant mvp votes every year.
  3. Damn. That was quick.
  4. You’re lol’ing the suggestion that Biden might not be in front of multiple presidents that are consistently viewed in the top 10, so much so that someone opining so is laughable — either trolling and or extremely misinformed. No one that thinks about these things thinks this stuff. All the profs and historians that pitch in on Siena say #19 so far. Sure, sounds right. He’s done fine. https://scri.siena.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/draft-final.pdf If I thought you actually thought he was borderline-Mount Rushmore, I’d tell you you’re in the mirror image of the cult of personality that’s on the other side. But no one actually thinks this; it’s just message board cheerleading. (It’s tough sledding to claim best-President-in-four-generations leading off with the embarrassing hyperbole that “passing an infrastructure bill” will “ensure US is the premier world power throughout this century”).
  5. i complain to my wife about the short bench all the time. who is going to step in? i say "someone graduates 1st and 2nd from every college in the u.s. every year. WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE?" i honestly think that it is partially that we are victims of our own success. because we are in this hyper rich period for the top 1%, if you're the cream of the crop, it is hard to say no to the private life. the latter.
  6. Presidents since FDR. Truman - finished off the Axis. Eisenhower - JFK - Moonshot LBJ - Civil Rights bonanza Nixon - Ford Carter Reagan - Showed commies we had infinite budget Bush - End cold war without chaos Clinton - Prosperity computer boom GWB Obama - Obamacare, DACA Trump. My guess is if Biden is done, he will be remembered about like Ford. Just a dude that was there for a few years.
  7. but increase incidents of mortality getting squashed by the wehrmacht
  8. It would be interesting if he could stomach her as a VP. His instinct will be to say no because she's not worshipping him, but he'll have advisors around saying that his biggest weakness is the lack of seriousness and discipline he projects. She'd help with that.
  9. buying greenland would have been cool. the problem is that they were untalented diplomat pretenders and wouldn't have the first inkling of how to do something like that. i can't imagine nuking a hurricane is even theoretically a workable thing. (1) think of the radar image of a hurricane coming. it's like, half the size of the gulf of mexico and 10 miles tall. c'mon man. (2) think of how many countries hate our guts. then they see us readying some nukes. no no no, i promise this isn't for you. we're just gonna uh lob it into the atmosphere
  10. why is there still a 'leningrad' region. they changed the names of the cities decades ago. not the region too?
  11. if we get monty back, i'll consider the offseason a success regardless of the rest. if we don't, i'll wonder what's been going on.
  12. lol at brewster county dark red on a per million rate.
  13. to get a handle on the anecdotal nature of this thread, austin violent crime rate is 430-450 / 100k people. oakland is 480-500. so there you go -- about 10-20% more crime there. https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crime/crime-trend . . . if I tell them I read books . . .
  14. friendly commander immediately after launching 20 f18s to waste houthis
  15. elle macpherson is burned into my brain and i believe looking at SI with her was the first time i felt something funny in my naughty parts
  16. Trump cares 0.0% about what happens when he’s not around.
  17. re:show my work. i agree with jimmyjazz and don't know myself why i cited the polls. we're just all educated folks and addicted to numbers as the ultimate arbiter of truth. even though the polls sucked ass 2016, 2018 and 2020. but this was the common feeling going into the election 2020: https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2020?&page=2 Biden +5 PA, +2 AZ, +2 OH, +8 MI, + 8 WI. That added up to 538 saying Biden with 400+ EV as the most likely result. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/ anyhow, i didn't think it was a controversial post. i feel like this whole board went into the election confident last time and ended up chewing our nails off. but eddie and HG are right. even what little faith i have in polls now, i should have even less when we don't have the matchup figured out yet.
  18. i'm not nearly as sunny as you guys are. everything was saying biden +4 and 5 in 2020, things like +7 and +8 in Michigan, WI, MN, and we got a nail biter. now it's all trump +1.
