  1. Katie Porter. She'll likely succeed Feinstein.
  2. "China is winning". Not one of those hacks knows anything about Chinese society/history.
  3. Xi doesn't want to look weak, so Western vaccine adoption has never been on the table. Their Covid-0 strategy means they have almost no population immunity since their vaccines suck so badly (mostly because they are horrendous at high-end manufacturing in every sector). Xi is doomed if their young populace starts to doubt their social contract of each successive generation being better off than their parents' generation.
  4. Young liberal/leftist voters are increasingly apathetic with each passing day, so turnout will likely decrease a good bit. Neither party cares about working class voters, so they're increasingly voting in accordance with their social views. President DeSantis will be inaugurated on January 20th, 2025, and it's going to suck.
  5. I'm fairly sure that my current ideology is significantly to the left of that guy.
  6. I’ve been MIA because I’ve been black pilled on college football unfortunately. Im glad that players can now earn money, but the relentless march toward determining a true national champion rather than emphasizing conference champions has halted, if not already tanked, the sport’s growth. It seems like King kind of sucks and their receivers still suck? If they figure to have have mediocre to bad QB play again, then I’m reneging on that bet. Call me a pussy or whatever but it was probably dumb to think 10 wins (or was it 9? I don’t care to go back to that conversation) was imminent for them this year.
  7. Very good insights by many in this thread, including but not limited to, @Pancho, @Nivek, @Captainant, and @YChang. Unfortunately Chris Rufo is on a meteoric rise rn and aligns almost perfectly with DeSantis.
  8. Yeah unfortunately many conservatives are increasingly subscribing to Great Replacement Theory-type ideas. David Shor, head of data science at Blue Rose Research, is pretty good at analyzing and explaining electoral trends. His current data suggests DeSantis (assuming Trump is neutered) will win in ‘24 with a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. There’s a very real chance that a jackass like Chris Rufo will be part of the DeSantis/Reynolds administration. We’re fucked because that jackass loves legislation that “preserves family values” (any intelligent person knows what that means). I’ve lurked on this board for a while and used to think you were too dramatic, but you’re spot on about what the GOP really wants America to look like.
  9. Jay Carney better make sure his spin is on point from now on. We need more of Irish Joe
  10. The offense is gross and they’ve been horrendous away from the RAC. It’ll be my first ever nervous selection Sunday, so I’m not looking forward to that.
  11. Iowa is stretching out their lead. Rutgers now gets to sweat on Sunday evening.
  12. Ron Harper Jr and Steve Pikiell are incredible. RU has no business being a consistent tournament team but here we are.
  13. That’s unsurprising considering the median age of white Americans is 43.7, which is much higher than the median ages of black and Hispanic Americans.
  14. The article made more sense when I looked up his bio. I agree that it is mostly naive considering the appetite for large-scale socialist reform exists largely in the millennial/gen z cohort.
  15. This is the correct take. There’s no place in tennis for some of the jackassery by that crowd today.
  16. Eh I think his lack of playoff success compared to the greats is more to do with a lower level of focus/preparation during game prep. Every great QB has faced easy schedules fairly often during their careers. He has a better arm than any other QB of the past two decades or so (though several others have superior arm strength) in my opinion. It's kind of strange to watch him in tough moments in the playoffs before losses because he seems too nonchalant for his own good.
  17. He deserves this wave of scorn, but his teammates (at least on the offensive side of the ball) have generally gotten along with him in his tenure there. He's especially good friends with Bakhtiari and Adams. It's going to be very interesting to see if he asks for a trade in the coming months, and I think Packers fans ought to be careful what they wish for considering Jordan Love likely isn't ready to be anything more than average next year (and carries a high risk of being an outright bust). It's strange to say, but the Lions likely have the best front office in that division rn. They have an unproven coach and no clear QB plan, so success is hardly guaranteed but not far-fetched either.
  18. Even before the cheating, I never cared for Tsitsipas. I won't argue with you about Sinner's lack of personality, but I still grew to like him while watching the Next Gen Finals in '19. He'll almost assuredly lose to Medvedev in straight sets in the SF if he wins tonight, but you never know until it happens.
  19. Shapovalov and Sinner are my two favorite young players rn.
  20. It’s probably inappropriate to speculate, but I think he’s bi and disagrees with his family’s (presumptive) opposition to that considering they’re seemingly part of the religious right. Even if that were accurate, his behavior is still immature (unless they ever tried to suggest something like conversion therapy in which he’d be justified). This is probably the wrong forum for that but oh well.
  21. Not that it makes the situation any better, but I think he was the one who cut off contact.
  22. We'll see if this ages as well as your Steelers pick last week because "you should always trust Big Ben in the playoffs".
  23. I think he also said the Steelers will win tonight because "never doubt Big Ben in the playoffs" or whatever. Ben is now the worst of the 14 playoff QBs (even Hurts is a little better).
