There wasn't a hire out there that was going to "wow" anyone. Most of the coaching carousel had happened before we fired Pete. I still blame Pete for putting us in the position with game 5 during and post game panic/meltdown (for lack of a better word). Obviously none of us know what all was going on behind the scenes so maybe it was a move that needed to happen regardless, but certainly wasn't on anyone's radar when we started the WCF. Hopefully this guy works out - obviously now has a lot more experience since he last shot as a HC.

Got it. So it all comes back to Trump like it always does. Guess I need to go look at Twitter and see what he got all the CR'ers fired up about today. I assume he's acting like a fucking buffoon like he always does. I could give 2 shits what that idiot has to say about anything. That doesn't mean the actual planning, coordination, etc. of the strike itself wasn't impressive. It's ok to appreciate the American military without feeling like you are supporting the administration you know. But yeah - I'll see my way back to the Stars or recruiting threads which can hopefully stay devoid of the rampant TDS that infects every fucking discussion on this board.

Yes, quite the shock that the U.S. is boasting about a complex military operations. Never seen that before. Not like there aren't dozens of Hollywood movies dramatizing damn near every material military accomplishment this country has ever had.
-
Helobious, of all people, is not impressed. Classic
-
Agreed. I mean particularly considering the context of what an absolute shitshow and worldwide embarrassment pretty much the entire Ukraine war has been for the Russian military. Israel with their first strike and then the U.S. with this strike still put the world on notice as to what a competent military can look like.
-
Seriously. Are people on this board serious trying to downplay an outstanding job by our military because of fucking politics. JFC.
-
Yep. Nobody is ready to take over Captain role yet. Hopefully can manage his minutes better next year so maybe he has more left in the tank for a playoff run. I think Jamie will be completely content playing whatever role is asked of him.

I don't disagree that this would be a more successful tactic in the age of idiocracy compared to embracing socialism. To the poster above, it has nothing to do with this particular candidate or his particular platform. It's the larger optics of the "center of the universe" and home of Wall St potentially electing a self proclaimed socialist. I'm talking about national perception in this thread. Not local or specific policies. It matters because it is NYC (again, I'm sorry, fucking Vermont is irrelevant in every sense of the word). It's international news because it's NYC. It led the today shows this AM. And "far left socialists taking over America, just look at NYC" is a message that will resonate with swing voters. The entire point is that it's not a great data point when dems will have every opportunity to win back a ton of seats in the midterms.

When did I ever criticize Kamala's campaign or say she was far left. I think she did the best she could under terrible circumstances (i.e., last minute replacement not on a single ballot until the national election).
-
Yeah, the "Center of the World" is a tad more consequential than Vermont with a state population that is probably less than each borough. Nobody cares about Vermont. This made international news.

They got their asses handed to them (i) replacing an old AF candidate that proved to be outright incompetent at the debate (proving out 2 years of campaigning on the issue by R's better than they could have ever dreamed) and then inserted Kamala without any primary, (ii) with rampant inflation the last 2 years of his term (which in my view was inevitable and not Biden's fault but the President will always get the blame) and (iii) after setting themselves up to be attacked on massive illegal immigration (tried to fix too late and were of course blocked by the R's so it became a campaign issue) . Take away any of those 3 and they likely win (and almost certainly take away either (i) or (ii) and they win). It took a trainwreck for the R's to win the last cycle. And 95% of this board was convinced it could not possibly happen right up until the election. But sure, I'm the irrational with a hot take that socialism is not a winning platform in the year of our lord 2025 LOL. Again, most of this board lives in a fantasy world. But carry on.

I've only voted R for President once post Bush (Romney). I voted straight D last election on anything non-local. But if they want to move far left, that's fine, I'll sit and home and let the nutjobs on both sides fight it out. And I'm fairly confident how that will go. A lot like last cycle.
-
LOL. Never ceases to amaze me. Anyone that dares to stray from the groupthink on this board is a trumper. I'll leave you all to it but confident that every R (rightfully) worried about midterms views this as an absolute gift from a national messaging standpoint.
-
Yes to both. And there are a shit ton of like minded people that would never vote for a socialist. I've already seen a few Democrats rejecting this nonsense because they know it is political suicide.

You all live in a fantasy world.
