President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I’m not a “Stick to sports” person. So, even though I couldn’t disagree more with Bosa’s views, it would be hypocritical for me to say he shouldn’t share his opinion.

But here’s the thing: That interview was about his teammates, not him. Usually if you see a postgame interview like that get crashed, it’s by a giddy teammate or coach who wants to give a hug or a high five and will usually say something like, “LOVE THIS GUY!” In other words, it’s about joy and happiness for the player being saluted.

Instead, Nick Bosa made it about himself. Which basically fits in with the the core tenet of the MAGA movement, which contains narcissism and a sociopathic denial of any alternate perspectives.

Fuck ‘em all, including Nick Bosa.

 

Yeah, sorry, but this is a case of terminally online people like Dowd overreacting to an article they didn't actually read and Newsweek pushing out clickbait garbage.

Here's the story in question:
Nate Silver predicts path for Kamala Harris to "probably" win election

This is the nut graph:
In a post on his Substack blog on Saturday, he wrote, "If Harris wins the three Blue Wall States, she probably (although not certainly) wins."

This isn't news. That's always been her firewall. Silver has written it countless times. So has every other poll analyst. Silver hasn't made a final projection because his model will run all the way up to election day.

 

So I'm in the car this morning, listening to NPR's "Morning Edition". Steve Inskeep starts a report with "Some three thousand troops have been sent from North Carolina to Russia, to join the war with Ukraine as combat troops."

I knew he meant North Korea, but I laughed my ass off. He corrected his mistake at the end of the report, but the horse was out of the barn.

 

None of the election modelers/forecasters are gonna come up with any result besides "it's a tossup" before Election Day. Now, that's almost surely because that's what the data tells them. But I can't help noticing that a forecast of :"it could go either way" also insures the modeler/forecaster can't be wrong.

 

I guess I was just thinking about emails. It's a matter of course for me to unsubscribe from them as soon as they arrive.

 

Looking forward to the day when I hear the word "Polls" ... and it's the latest news from Warsaw!

 

My 35 year old Joe Rogan bro family member wasn’t going to vote this year. Then he watched the MSG extravaganza last night. He woke up, raced to the polls and voted straight Dem ticket. I suspect he’s not the only one who responded that way.

 

If that rally didn't hurt Trump then this country just isn't worth worrying about. It'd deserve to be fucked over.
