This is spectacular. I realize this might have popped up earlier in this thread. This guy Hancock was Rittenhouse's fixer. He knows the little creep. I guess Rittenhouse ate paint chips and drank lead-flavored water.

To quote a friend who was involved in collegiate fencing when they would assess their opponent as being schlubby and not too hard to beat. "Just don't suck" and you should win. Organizing, raising volunteers and motivating voters will all require a clear view of what Trump is and not complacency. But, fergoshsakes, the voters who voted against Trump in 2020 won't vote for him now. Biden has all the Haley voters who refuse to vote for Trump. Having the massive advantage in money will also have an effect. I realize that the untraceable effects of Epoch Times newsletters telling the low-intelligence churchie types that Biden is the anti-Christ will have some impact. Biden will win few rural/white districts but he will destroy Trump in the vote rich suburbs unless he "sucks".

And then it did in 2020.

The macro data says he is for sure. He has no money. He's losing voters left and right to the actuarial tables and his own behavior. He isn't gaining any new voters. The lack of endorsements from his cabinet and other advisors has to weigh at some point. Also, the Democrat voters will come home.

Apparently, they think the Epoch Times is the #1 trusted source of news per the billboards I saw on the drive across the OH and penna turnpike yesterday.

He used the term last night. Bloodbath.

Joe Flaherty from SCTV died?

I guess they are excommunicating anti-communist Secretaries of State from the GOP now.

My first actual watching of the tigers since opening day... Beneitti call was great!

Carson Kelly !

If there is one… is it Xi, Putin, or another world leader?

Seen: Billboard in Grand Rapids from RVAT featuring Mike Pence “why i won’t endorse Trump” I did a fist pump. Great place for that.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the followers want him to be that.

Yeah, the 4/19, 4/20 and althought I can't place what specifically 4/21 dates are all stacked up on the nazi right.

Have you considered smoke as a means of obscuring their line of sight?

Hopefully true

I suppose Erik Prince might also satisfice Putin.

General Flynn is the Putin approved VP pick

This is bad ass

Rational Actor Model might cost some people in policy making world their jobs. The PRC's reasoning for looking and turning inward and going Stalinist/Soviet is that Xi thinks it is the only way he can ensure the survival of his regime. Been studying various war games and modeling and simulation on a cross straits war. The PRC has invested in some things that are essential to their planning. They have a large amphibious force, a large airmobile/airborne force to land on Taiwan. They have a large fleet to protect the landings and a large ballistic missile force designed to rain destruction on Guam, Taiwan, Okinawa, the northern Phillippines and perhaps if they are accurate enough a couple US carrier battle groups. Most US run war games taking all these things into account predict US/allied wins although with heavy casualties. Particularly if a US carrier is hit and sinks. What the PRC does not have is a military tradition. Their last war was 1979 in northern Vietnam. They will have a hell of a time trying to do things as complex as amphibious and airborne landings. Taiwan unfortunately has never actually fought a war either. The good news is that the US has special forces on the ground along with Australian special forces. The alliance against the PRC will be robust with Japan, South Korea, Phillippines, Vietnam and others contributing to the fight. Every time the US intercepts a ballistic missile with supposed hypersonic warheads in Ukraine an angel gets its wings (i.e., demonstrates to China that their plan is no sure thing). Anyway... if you think the US and allies are going to lose...nah. If you think it will be bloodless...nah too. Is this in China's interest, well, they want to break out of the first island chain to be a proper superpower. The Kaiser's Germany wanted to break out into the Atlantic to be one too...didn't work out because Imperial Germany didn't have a dominant fleet nor did it have a naval tradition. Even if their ships were slightly better than the British fleet's.

small phone issue. My bad. I think Bryan Cook was answering a today question with 2022 information and I missed that detail.

I'll share some thoughts that I am allowed to share later on this.

This is a great comment re: bloodbath
