  1. I've read enough Helobious posts to know I would now immediately be prepping for the storm of the century if I lived anywhere along the coast
  2. I would vote for Obama or Romney in a heartbeat. Amazing we've gone from that level of candidates in 2012 to this shit sandwich. Idiocracy has arrived well ahead of schedule.
  3. You know what is infuriating? The fact that people can't comprehend someone with the level of mental decline displayed last week should not be President of the United States. Everyone with this take is letting their hatred for Trump mask the reality of what would be in office for the next 4 years.
  4. "Another Person" LOL. It's truly amazing to me you all can't grasp nobody is talking about the fucking people on this board. We are talking about public at large. JFC.
  5. Everyone is telling you the same thing but I'll say it again for all of you that somehow don't get it. MAGA and R's are going to turn out for Trump. You now have a lot of people that voted for Biden last time that flat out don't think either one of them have any business being President. I don't understand how anyone can say with a straight face that Biden is mentally fit to be President another 4 years. So I'll say it again. Relying on people to show up and vote for someone that has a very real chance of either dying or becoming completely incapacitated over the next 4 years is not a winning strategy. The result of that disastrous debate is hundreds of thousands staying home or voting third party.
  6. It's not even worth debating with you or a handful of others as you aren't going to change your mind. But I pretty strongly disagree with all of this and think anyone that thinks this way absolutely has their head in the sand.
  7. Yes. If you believe the recent reporting of Bernstein, people within the party have been trying to ring the alarm bell for the past 18 months and there has been significant cognitive decline in particular within the past 6 months. Given the debate performance that seems pretty valid. So yes, I think the D inner circle/power brokers that were actually aware of this should have made the move months ago. At the least, they never should have allowed him on a debate stage. If it comes out that it really was Biden's stubbornness/failure to accept reality (whether in regards to running or with respect to doing the debate), this election is on everyone that enabled him or were too afraid to tell an old man no (even if he is the President). To be clear, I was supportive of the debate because I thought it gave him the chance to prove everyone wrong. I had no idea he had declined as much as he obviously had. The people in the room with him absolutely had to know and know the risk. Absolute incompetence.
  8. I thought everyone is saying that big ass heat dome would keep it south
  9. This is just wrong. When Biden inevitably loses this election, this debate will forever be discussed as the turning point and every decision the inner circle of the party made in the 18 months leading up to it and after will be debated. The debate convinced the vast majority of Biden voters that Biden is flat out unfit to be President for another term. Full Stop. The result will be a bunch of those in the category of "reluctant" Biden Voters or pure Anti-Trump voters to sit it out or vote 3rd party. Because the reality is neither of these candidates have any business being President. The competent American public recognizes what a ridiculous choice it is and the reality is many will just throw their hands in the air and say fuck it, wake me up in 4 years. The margins were slim to begin with but relying on the non R voting public to actually make an effort to vote on the basis that an essentially incapacitated Biden is still better than Trump is not a winning strategy.
  10. Yeah, fuck risking that.
  11. It's a good thing Nill has built up a lot of good will because otherwise I would be motherfucking today. Great value on Duchene only to make several WTF moves. Like Tiffin wrote, I would probably be pissed if I were Duchene to take a big discount only to watch extra money go to players that have proven to be sub-par.
  12. Sorry to break it to you but according to some of the mensa candidates on this board this makes you a fascist.

    USMNT 2024

    I'll never understand how international soccer has such god awful officiating. What a joke.
  14. The key phrase was "in an alternate universe". Meaning an alternate universe where someone like Romney is the Republican nominee. In that alternate universe, the Republican party is not a lost cause and a threat to democracy. Instead, we have the party of Trump which doesn't remotely resemble the Republican party pre-Trump.
  15. He was relatively fine in 2020 and I think at the time the best shot at beating Trump. Look at debate footage from 2020 compared to last night. It is night and day. I mean it's not surprising to see that level of cognitive decline. He's old and it is natural. But do we really think signs weren't there to his inner circle for the past 18 months?
  16. I'll reluctantly vote for Biden only because it's Trump. I would have voted for Haley or certainly a Romney over this version of Biden in an alternate universe. I don't think Biden is fit for another term after the debate debacle. I'm voting for him solely because his "team" has done a decent job but another term would basically be the equivalent Otto and Alicent running everything for Viserys at the end of Season 1 of House of the Dragon (for those that watched). The Republican party is a lost cause and a threat to democracy. I'm critical of the Dems because it was up to them to strategize a way to keep power and it appears they have blown it.
  17. Someone should be working overtime to convince him and frankly to convince Newsome to risk what is probably a much easier path in '28. It's a terrible situation but it's the hand they were dealt by not making a tough decision 18 months ago (assuming this steep decline was recognized within his inner circle). As it stands now, Trump is going to win barring a miracle (death, incapacity or somehow an even worse cognitive decline moment).
  18. 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.
  19. JFC this board gets dumber by the day.
  20. LOL. Alright, someone smarter than I am is going to have to break all this down for me.
  21. Got to say I'm pretty underwhelmed. Going to go over to the Mavs thread instead where maybe some better vibes LOL.
  22. Dumba. LOL. I'm sure that will go over well.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
