I would have a hard time trusting that polling. It was done at a time that required people to imagine a world that did not yet exist. Now that it exists (and dependent on the Democrat VP pick), it would not surprise me to see the results change significantly in either direction.

Now we know where all the Captain has gone.

Simple typo. He must have meant Black Shirted. https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/news/2023/2/23/gallagher-awarded-black-shirt

Both parties have this, though the Republicans do not call them Super Delegates. Democrats have about 15% super delegates while Republicans have three automatically seated delegates from every state/territory. Democrat Super Delegates are currently not allowed to vote in the first round. Republican auto delegates must vote in line with elected delegates in the first round. And the degree to which they have them is often a result/reaction to losing an election. It used to be that there were only super delegates (think Lincoln's nomination) and there were many rounds of ballots and a lot of horse trading before a candidate was decided. Then the pendulum swung toward a grassroots process like we have now. The pendulum moves around a bit from year to year, but lately always at the grassroots end of the spectrum.

Cliff Notes: DJT is about to add $2.5 billion cash to its balance sheet. But someone will be selling a shit-ton of stock as a result. So, caveat emptor.

I had a very similar conversation. Maybe we were talking to each other and did not realize it. We also talked about how hard it will be to fill the VP slot on the Democratic ticket. No one will want that VP slot. They would just rather wait four years and run then.

I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding about how our elections work and the history of selecting candidates.

I would not read too much into this, but since Biden exited the presidential race DJT is down 7%. DJT is, after all, a wildly volatile stock. But it is also not really a stock in the traditional sense. It has a market value of ~$6.5 billion even though it may be lucky to sell $1 million in ads this quarter while losing a lot of money in the process. It is really just a meme stock and a way to participate in Donald Trump's popularity. What do meme companies do when their stock is wildly over-valued? They sell more stock, of course. Bed, Bath and Beyond, Gamestop, Hertz, and others have all shown the way. And they always do this via at-the-market offerings instead of via secondary offerings. This makes sense because secondary offerings are marketed to institutional investors who have no interest in playing memes. But at-the-market offerings are targeted at retail investors who love the memes. But DJT has a basic problem. It has been public for less than a year, and it cannot do an ATM offering until it has been public for a year. But there is a solution. There is a hedge fund who specializes in providing a bridge between a secondary and an ATM offering. And now they count DJT as a client. They inked a deal on Monday where DJT will sell $2.5 billion of stock to the hedge fund over time via a series of secondary offerings, and the hedge fund will immediately dump the shares in the market as they get them and give DJT a price that is almost guaranteed to be less than what they sold it for AND minus a 2.75% fee (and they get 200,000 free shares worth about $6.5 million for an extra kicker).

Or... She deserved to be fired and everyone could plainly see that.

She said I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.

The Power of God Compels Me to introduce you to Belgian Ales and good whiskey. Either that or I can save a lot of money buying you drinks.

This is a strange post. The OP said he wasn't old enough to know about the Brands' high school career. He did not claim they were hyped. He asked if they were hyped. And then precisely no one claimed they were hyped.

Oh, a new topic. Not feeling good about your last choice of topics?

Yes, there were many dumb requests in those days. Let's not forget he also denied the President's unconstitutional request.

Pence did the most consequential thing ever, even though many other VP's did the exact same thing before him. He opened the certificiates and counted the votes.

The wrestlers left for Paris today. @nhs67 can crack the Captain.

The wrestlers left for Paris today. Time to get excited.

Something Taylor said in one of his post-trials interviews made me feel like he had a mild case of HEW. He referred to his motivation in training, I believe. I will see if I can find it. It felt like the OSU job came along at the perfect time if that is the case. Of course, there are 1,000,000+ reasons per year why any time would be the perfect time to take that job.

Exactly. What is Hunter up to the next 4 to 8 years? Oh, yeah.

And what capacity would he be willing to accept? Volunteer assistant? That he is unemployed may very well have to do with none of the available jobs being up to his liking. He already took one step down in rank for a chance to grasp the brass ring. After he failed at that, I imagine another step down is just too much to take.

That is a silly standard. I stipulate that Trump never once had a direct conversation with a single person who stormed the capital. He was never on the phone with one, never in a room with one, and probably never so much as exchanged a pleasantry with one.

I need to know more about those 4 loses.

Nothing in your video does anything yo exonerate Trump for what he did on and around Jan.6

That is some messed up thinking. While it certainly would have been better if more law enforcement was present, that does not exonerate the President for inciting violence. It would have been best if Trump did not attempt to foment insurrection. It continues to stun me that so many are willing to give him a pass for this. This is my third rail. I cannot/will not vote for someone who attempts insurrection.

I was going to say capacity to delude yourself, but that is not exactly what he demonstrated with that particular post. It is, however, what you are demonstrating with this post.
