    98% chance the Biden voice that called into Kamala’s press conference was AI generated is what they determined on Rogan’s show.  

    Was the Biden on our tv screens AI generated?

    Fockin dumbass

    This whole thing about whether a bullet hit Trump’s ear or not is weird. I don’t know why he doesn’t just give over actual medical records. That said, I don’t know why the justice department is publicly questioning whether a bullet hit his ear — that would be pretty stupid without some real solid reason for questioning it.

    Anyway, the whole thing is just odd.

    She’s got a lot of work to do. From the polls I have seen with Kennedy and West it helps Donald slightly. I can’t believe Cornell West will stay in there’s like  .2%.

    Kennedy could be a real assshat here though.

    Yeah I’d say this is about right. It’s a real uphill battle. I don’t think they really expect to win but just want to keep hope alive for ‘28

    Trump’s gains with black voters have been wiped out:

    But hey I’m sure if you guys tell them that Kamala isn’t really African-American that will change things! Lolol

    I think their primary concern was holding together the coalition. Keep that huge advantage on the minority vote, try to keep the youth vote. It’s not necessarily for ‘24 but to make sure they’ve still got that baseline in ‘28.

    Just finished watching this…. Took me two days to get through it…. The scenes that dealt with the bombs were cool, but the back story was blah IMO…. Though mostly true back story it felt like the back story of Titanic to me…. Could have cut about half of it in both cases…. It was decent but I am glad I didn’t see this in a theater…

    Pretty hard to make an exciting movie about a back room administrative hearing. Nolan tried but, yeah, it wasn’t epic or anything

    I have no idea. You really gotta do a deep dive on this stuff to have any real guess.

    First question is who’d be interested? Seems like there’s a real effort and belief she could win this thing, so maybe interest is high. That said, who knows what the evaluation is behind closed doors.

    Then of those interested, who can pass vetting? Background, dirt, prior positions, etc.

    Then it’s who can get picked without focking something else up? So if you pick a senator how would that person be replaced and would it be a Republican? That kind of thing.

    Then who would be an asset but also not threaten to outshine Harris? This one is particularly sensitive since the Harris candidacy is unusual.

    My guess would be somebody like Beshear, Kelly or Cooper, and maybe not Kelly if there’s a risk he outshines her. But like I said, lotta ins lotta outs

    Really?  You think if the CEO made, say, 100k, they could have kept prices lower?  You REALLY think that?   Or are you referring to "net income?"  Because you are aware, are you not, and you too @IGotWorms, that net income <> PROFIT, right?

    $19.2 million is a little high. People sort of point that out as it’s an easy way to show the greed, but I agree that $19.2 million spread out over the cost of their entire operations is not very meaningful. The issue to me would be the profit margins

    McDonald's will extend its "$5 meal deal" to win back cash-strapped customers.

    This comes after years of price increases, which led to its net income jumping 37% last year.

    Meanwhile, McDonald's CEO made $19.2M. They could have kept prices lower all along. They chose not to.

    It’s that thing you’ve seen in several industries, where they did have to raise their prices some to keep up with inflation and rising costs of labor. But they realized that they could raise their prices a whole lot more and people would at least temporarily pay them as they were used to sticker shock. So they took the opportunity to bilk the sh1t out of people and I hope nobody goes back.

    My keeper decision is between Jordan Love and Anthony Richardson. I like both and it's a start 2 QB league. I would definitely redraft A Richardson if I keep Love, hard to know how much he will cost in an Auction this year though. If I keep Richardson I'm ok drafting Love or another QB that can be a quality starter. A Richardson costs a bit more to keep 7% vs for Love 2% of total auction dollars. We are only allowed to keep one quarterback.

     

    thoughts?

     

     

     

    That’s a tough one and you could go either way.

    My guess is somebody will pay big bucks for Anthony Richardson. If he actually manages to stay healthy then he could put up QB1 stats, potentially. You just don’t have the ceiling with Love.

    So personally I’d probably go with ARich on the theory that you can get Love or a similar QB for cheaper, but you certainly have to be comfortable with the risk.

    I am surprised with Vice Presidential candidates like Al Gore, Cheney, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.  Too bad the poll did not go back further so we could see the result for Spiro T. Agnew.

    You keep Spiro’s name outta yo mouth! :mad:
