A Trump low life’s answer to Steve Schmidt: “Are you ready to move past Trump?”
They resent Biden for taking Trump away from them. Plausibly they would vote for another Democrat over Trump; more likely another Dem over another Republican. But Never Biden. They will not vote for Biden under any circumstances, no matter the opponent.
123-109, 4:31 4Q, Racers another FTO. Won't do any good, Indy, you SUCK!
Does Dan Gilbert still own that team or is he dead?
The polls are accurate. If Americans voted next Tuesday Trumpie would likely be prez agayne. So the polls are not accurate because Americans don't vote next Tuesday but eleven months from now.
President Biden is governing, not doing much campaigning--not nearly as much as David Axelrod would like him to do. PoJo is thus a target that is not punching back much.
Biden has no real opposition. He's not debating and will not debate until after the Democratic Convention.
Trumpie has opposition. He's not debating and will not debate until after the Republican Convention.
Not debating was smart of Trumpie in securing the GOP nomination. It was also necessary because he doesn't have the stamina to campaign all across the country in the primaries. He will have to and he will have the stamina to campaign all across the country in the general election. Not debating has hurt Trumpie more than it has hurt or could hurt Biden. He says things like this. He's out of control. He's undisciplined. He would get crushed in a debate against Chris Christie or Nikki Haley. He will get crushed by Biden. And he will lose the election, as will other Republicans down ticket.
“The cost of Obamacare is out of control, plus, it’s not good Healthcare. I’m seriously looking at alternatives. We had a couple of Republican Senators who campaigned for 6 years against it, and then raised their hands not to terminate it. It was a low point for the Republican Party, but we should never give up!”
…what could be a key issue in a general election rematch between Trump and Biden if both win their parties’ nominations, as is widely expected.
Politico:
The post by Trump calling for Obamacare’s replacement has lit a fire under Biden’s slow burn campaign.

And, in for a dime in for a dollar. NBC:
“I would love to see us revisit it,” said Sen. Ted Cruz. …
Republicans can’t “run away from the issue.”—Vance.
Please don’t. Run to the issue and embrace it with both arms in a bear hug.
And, CNN:
“There are very few issues where Republicans are at a greater disadvantage then health care. The Biden campaign desperately wants the election to be about health care and abortion. If the election is about those two issues in 2024, then Democrats will have a great night in November,” Ken Spain, a GOP consultant and former communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, told CNN.

“Talk about the border. Talk about the economy. Talk about no more foreign wars. Don’t talk about health care.”—Trump-aligned operative.
Please don’t. You MUST talk about health care.
Syracuse, N.Y. -- When Syracuse athletic director John Wildhack laid out his vision for the next Syracuse head coach less than a week ago, he said he had a strong preference for a coach who had experience as a head coach or a coordinator at the Power-Five level.
And when the school announced the hiring of Fran Brown on Tuesday, it hired a head coach who had neither of those things.
Because,
“Judge Engoron’s Trump Hating wife, together with his very disturbed and angry law clerk, have taken over control of the New York State Witch Hunt Trial aimed at me, my family, and the Republican Party,” Trump wrote Wednesday in a Truth Social post.
He is out of control.
From the guy who claimed the Zollner Pistons were “telling” on themselves in their one-point loss to Miami, and intrigued me.
This isn’t the same team that opened the season with a 2-1 record. You can’t tell me it is. -James L. Edwards III, The Athletic.
This is the story of how one WOMAN, American industrial royalty, single-handedly, PERSONALLY, courageously led and rallied an entire city behind HER “process” to change one of, if not the, most moribund franchises in all of professional sports. This is the Sheila Firestone Ford Hamp moment after the Detroit “Lions” started 2022 1-5. This is when it all changed.
A year later she is spoken of reverently, “lionized”, as in this headline and podcast.
“Sheila Ford Hamp CHANGED EVERYTHING for the Detroit Lions!”
Adam Silver has adopted European soccer tournament rules to his new Silver Cup tourney. And that has put his Association in untenable territory. In soccer, a team advances in a "tie", a two-game home-and-away if it wins both matches (obviously), or, if each team wins one, then on the basis of goals scored difference with the emphasis on away goals scored. So if a club wins at home 2-1 then the other team advances if it wins its home game 2-0 or 3-2. Soccer's formula is of long standing and well understood by players and coaches. It does not lead to running up the score since there is so little scoring in soccer.
In Adam's formula the winner advances on total point difference in all tournament games played. For example, New York and Cleveland finished 3-1 in group play. Both won their fifth games but New York had to run the score up on Chazz 115-91 to advance. As Jaylen Brown of Boston said,
"It's tough because that's just not how the game is supposed to be played. You've got to respect your opponents."
Benjamin Netanyahu is going woolly in the knees. He has destroyed Israel as a secular, democratic state, calving American support with it; he was MIA on October 7, and now he is being manipulated by “mediators” whose intent is to extend this truce into a de facto peace. It, and he, endanger Israel--and with it world Jewry--in an existential Armageddon.
The situation does not want clarity.
-Like the German Nazis Hamas has a clear programme calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.
-Gaza Palestinians voted overwhelmingly for Hamas, far more decisively than Germans did for the Nazi Party.
-Hamas is not merely anti-Zionist, it is the Third Reich-upon-Jordan.
-Any Palestinian state will be a beach head for the Final Solution to the Israel question.
-Ergo, there can be no two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine issue.
No, it is not clarity that is lacking but courage.Israel has three choices: police and enforce a demilitarized Gaza, kill, or be killed from the river to the sea.
Jewish people wherever they live are endangered by corrupt, tired, old Benjamin Netanyahu's cowardice.
Uno. UGA 12-0
Tyoo. Michigan Stalions 12-0
Twee. Wershington 12-0
Fo'. Half Ass U 12-0____________________
Five. Oregon 11-1
Six. Ohio 11-1
Seven. Texass 11-1
Eight. Bama 11-1
I drug it out there to include the four top schools with 1L on accounta shit might happend. O plays W in the Pac-12 Championship. Agayne. The Huskers beat the Quacks in the regular season. What happens if O wins the rematch? Half Ass U would move up to twee, O would be fo'th. Ohio doesn't have a path even in the highly unlikely event that Iowa beats the Stalions in the B1G Championship game. I don't see a highly likely Texass victory over Okie State in the Big XII title game near enough to bump them up three...unless. Bama beats UGA in the SEC championship, the Stalions lose and W loses. I don't see the "Bulldogs" falling out of the playoff even if they lose. In that--plausible--event the Stalions would be numero uno and UGA 4th. Bama would jump to fo'th with the win and losses by W, the Stalions, and Texass. In other words, t'ain't happenin'. Come this time next week I predict the Final Fo' to be 1 UGA, 2 Stalions 3 Half Ass (if O beats W) 4 O. If W wins the die will be cast unchanged from this week.
I never get asked that question, nor this one, "Is the opinion-to-reporting ratio at the Times opinion-heavy?", but I asked myself the latter question, answered in the affirmative and canceled my digital subscription. The Times engages in "consent manufacturing", a term coined by its all-time most influential columnist Walter Lippmann in his 1922 book Public Opinion. It is consent manufacturing that Jay Rosen obliquely gestures to with his "how the Times sees itself and its authority." The subject of Rosen's tweet, Paul Krugman, publicly embarrassed himself during the Obama years by writing in the Times' pages that yes, he had heard the talk that he could be the next Secretary of the Treasury but that, as a Times columnist, he already had "quasi-official" authority.
A media outlet can report news truthfully without having an opinion page with a zillion columnists. That is what the Associated Press has done since 1846. But at the Times the most popular section is the opinion page and readers have favorite columnists and rail against the others and sometimes at their own. The Times also, of course, publishes editorials, written by an unwieldy McDonald's commercial editorial board. The Times' modern approach to manufacturing consent is to have each of its opinion columnists paint with a different color on a blue-shifted political spectrum. The resulting painting is of a confusing, dull Gray Lady which overwashes reporting. Times opinionage does not speak with one voice but in a cacophony, to change the metaphor from the ocular the auditory, which drowns out the voices of the reporters. In my opinion.
