    When you have your meltdown on election night wondering how the F this happened, just don't forget those you label a 'fascist' for having the audacity to tell you it was going to happen if he's not replaced. Douchebag.

    JFC this board gets dumber by the day.
  3. Skipper
    LOL. Alright, someone smarter than I am is going to have to break all this down for me.
  4. Skipper
    I'm down!
  5. Skipper
    Got to say I'm pretty underwhelmed. Going to go over to the Mavs thread instead where maybe some better vibes LOL.
  6. Skipper
    Dumba. LOL. I'm sure that will go over well.

    Seems fine to me. Not the time/year to spend meaningful $$ on backup goalies. I saw that Wedge will sign with Preds but haven't seen contract terms yet.
  8. Skipper
    I'm certainly not tied in to the Preds or their plans but I kind of assumed they were in rebuild/reset mode after buyouts last year. Then they sign 2 guys that are 33 and 34 respectively to long term deals? They still have to have a ton of dead cap space. I may need to have to search out an Nashville insider article on a plane later this week to figure out what I'm missing because those feel like "win now" signings.

    Too many Cloak Room regulars still whistling past the graveyard. Much like Trump, Biden is flat out not fit for office. Certainly not another 4 year term. The decline has been significant. The clear result for those that think neither is fit for office is more votes for RFK or people just not showing up. I don't think Biden can recover.

    Fantastic value on the Duchene contract. It obviously helps he is still getting paid by Nashville. But clearly shows all the stuff he said about really liking it in Dallas and wanting to stay wasn't just lip service. Obviously glad we didn't match that Tanev offer. Just too long a window to be dealing with an inevitable buyout in 3-4 years. Will be interesting to see what else we get done on D. Looking like we may very well end up hoping our offense can carry us to the trade deadline and putting pieces together for a run at that time.

    CNN Polls: 67% Trump won debate. 57% say no confidence Biden can lead the country. Ouch.

    The point Rubio just made is the point the R's should be making to target the independent/undecided vote. He basically said he takes no happiness from it but it was clear that the President struggled tonight and it concerns him what they might think about that in Beijing and Tehran. Sadly he's right. I'll still vote for Biden purely because of the threat to democracy that Trump poses but Biden has absolutely no business being president 4 more years. If pretty much any R candidate other than Trump was running I would be strongly considering flipping that vote

    Americans are stupid. They are too stupid to understand reasons for it. They just understand everything costs more and Biden is president. That's it. Full stop. This board that debates issues and world events does not represent the voting public. They are morons.
  14. Skipper
    This is just wrong. Biden's age/competence is THE ISSUE in this election. If Biden was 20 years younger he wins this in a landslide. He's not. He's old AF. This reinforced (beyond anything the R's could have ever hoped for) their position that he is unfit for office. Full stop. I don't think he can recover from it. The worst clips from tonight will be played over and over and over again the next 4+ months.
  15. Skipper
    I don't disagree. Inflation was inevitable post Covid. But President will always get the blame.
  16. Skipper
    Most of this board has been way too optimistic about Biden's chances effectively giving Trump no chance. I've thought for a long time it's 50/50. After tonight, I don't think it's even close. The American electorate is not going to dive into the fucking issues. They are going to watch the worst of the worst clips of Biden looking like he should be put in a nursing home (of which there are many). He is essentially unelectable at this point. Full stop. The only thing I'm surprised is that apparently most of the talking heads actually realize this and not shying away. Tonight was a flat out disaster for Democrats. No way around it.
  17. Skipper
    You are living in a fantasy world. And that's the problem. The entire democrat establishment has been as well for the past 2+ years. Just flat out refusing to acknowledge that Joe has significantly deteriorated (not to mention swimming upstream on issues like inflation + immigration). I'm assuming per betting odds Trump is now a massive favorite to win.
  18. Skipper
    Well, if any of them care about our democracy, they should be trying to figure out how to do that right fucking now. After tonight it's church unless Trump eats too many big macs and kills over.
  19. Skipper
    I said on here probably 18 months ago running Biden again was a risk and as a minimum they should have come up with some kind of strategy to pivot from Kamala as VP (as she is just not popular). If they would have done that, they would have someone to actually pivot to now that the plane has effectively crashed into the mountain. They have completely fucked this up in every way possible. Defeating Trump after 1/6 + felony conviction should have been a slam dunk and they have fucked this up so bad Trump will win easily. Good job good effort morons.
  20. Skipper
    It doesn't matter. Even most Trump voters probably concede he lies. This was all about optics and the optics were fucking terrible for Biden. American voters aren't going to sit and read all the fucking fact check dissertations that come out tonight and tomorrow. They are going to watch fucking twitter and tik tok videos of the current president looking like he should be in a nursing home. The Democrats have completely fucked this up.
  21. Skipper
    He had a fucking typo in his tweet. Absolute clown.
  22. Skipper
    I don't care enough to "do my own research" beyond snippets in an article. I'm just glad these losers have an arrest record allowing potential employers to make their own decisions.
  23. Skipper
    Team Rex and Hartzell. This was dismissing the arrest from when they started to camp and wouldn't move (i.e., not the first incident). If the prosecutor doesn't want to do their job that's an Austin problem (of which there are many and doesn't surprise me in the least). But hey, I'm sure not supporting rights of a bunch of douchebag purple haired kids and their far left instigators to camp in violation of rules and resist arrest makes me a trumper per Surly standards.

    Bought out Suter. Really didn't think they would pull the trigger. Obviously that means they think Bischel is ready + making room for Tanev (or someone else). Still a lot to figure out on D but I'm sure they have a plan. I actually thought Suter had a quality year in a more limited role until he wore down in the playoffs (no doubt partly as a result from playing too many minutes when we went to 5 D starting game 3 of the playoffs). But his quality of play was only going one direction and we all saw the Pavs fall off as father time caught up with him.

    I'm just saying you don't appreciate the irony that literally all sports fans in the US (with no dog in the fight, i.e., not Yankees fans) universally think Boston sports fans (along with Philadelphia sports fans) are terrible. I've actually never minded any of the Boston teams (other than being over Brady/Bellicheck) and I love the City itself, but the Boston fanbase has always been annoying AF.
