  1. I'm too old to have to wait for that.
  2. “We have to reduce spending to live within our means” has to be one of the richest things a centibillionaire can say.
  3. The only fly in this ointment of a scenario is that, if Trump dies in a state of grace with the base, he dies a martyr, he becomes a saint to the movement, and the charlatans who were in his inner circle at any point will jockey for power to become the new leaders of that movement, and it might work because anyone who was close to Trump would be akin to being an apostle. Hell, it might even be Junior. The inheritors don't have to share his unique brand of charisma. They will need only to have been within his inner circle to qualify. And who knows, there might even be a bit of internecine murder at the top, a la Trotsky or Röhm, which would be a total bonus.
  4. Because he wants to flip the 2020 experience back on the Democrats, the experience of leading early on election night and then he comes back and "steals" the election once the early votes are counted in. I think it's that base level of revenge he's looking for.
  5. I remember wanting to roll roll roll in ze hay with her, and I was 13. RIP, Teri. 😢
  6. Even looking past the problem of Montgomery’s skills steadily deteriorating, making the taking on of an extra $12.5 Ms look like a bad bet, what’s in it for Arizona to take on Maeda? Beyond garbage offsetting garbage, would a 2nd round comp pick really be worth $12.5 million?
  7. The Yankees looked as bad as the pre-August Tigers would whenever they got shut out.
  8. Social media > media media.
  9. He’s basically the original guy the song was written for.
  10. Honestly, based on my experience, they looked like they were newer than that, plus, second and third generations tend to assimilate and consequently disperse away from the kind of concentrated ethnic enclaves their immigrant parents and grandparents tend toward.
  11. Funny you should mention—my wife and I passed through Allentown on the way to Montauk, LI. We learned going in that it was highly Puerto Rican, which we didn’t expect. And we did notice a high percentage of people who looked like they could be Puerto Rican. But the thing that really surprised us was that we did not see a single sign anywhere that was in Spanish. Here in Chicago, there are a boatload of signs in Spanish everywhere. I’m not quite sure what to make of that.
  12. He could still land on his head from the second floor.
  13. We should reward them with statehood, then.
  14. They’ll stop protesting once they get shot by active duty troops.
  15. My wife and I are starting a drive tomorrow morning. Frankfort KY tomorrow night; Johnson City TN Wednesday; Athens GA Thursday; Kathleen (Warner Robins) GA Friday; Chattanooga TN Saturday; Louisville KY Sunday; then home. Combination color show drive and going to support our poor nephew who is a coach for an 0-10 high school football team—it’s their final game of the season. Will be taking lots of state roads through mountains. Will be interesting to see the sign representation and, if you want, I can check in with updates.
  16. The only thing it’s missing is the Ynizer actually saying, “I’m voting for Kamala.”
  17. So much for paper ballots are more secure. 😏
  18. That makes it even more likely he’s blowing sunshine up our asses.
  19. Flip side, David Plouffe is a partisan hack blowing sunshine up Dem voters’ butts.
  20. It actually is woke, before we let right wingers make "woke" a dirty word.
  21. You trust polls. How adorable.
  22. As I said earlier today, turning out those guys is really the only way Trump can win, because that's how he won in 2016, and that's also why I'm not popping champagne corks over super high early voter turnouts, because a big chunk of that is probably those guys. Come on, young women, we need you more than ever.
  23. Everything is close. Yawn.
