Interesting editorial from Phil calling the 750k people with 20+ years of repayment the biggest winners, since they're neither the biggest by number of people impacted, amount of money impacted, or amount of income impacted.

He literally told you why he considered them the biggest winners and I kinda agree.  A Household with $315,000 of income should be able to pay of $25,000 in debt in two years max.  No idea why those households need debt relief.  
 

An income of $85,000 should easily be able to pay off $3,600 of debt within 2 years max.  No need for debt relief on those loans.

It’s a shame you soak up Republican talking points so amazingly well. 

It’s not a talking point.   He’ll just listen to Biden’s pressers when he literally is saying “I’m not supposed to do this or I’m supposed to do this or I know I’ll get in trouble for this”.   He’s basically a figure head with mental capacity issues.

I mean we know you like the guy but he wasn’t going to dominate crap. He struggled just hanging in the primary field as long as he did. No. He didn’t and wouldn’t dominate anything. And this is coming from someone who would’ve rather seen Desantis in the general just so Trump would slither off into his hole.

Yes he actually would have dominated the Republican primary based on polling data if Trump were not a candidate.  
 

He is also a MUCH better primary candidate than Trump.  If Trump ends up anywhere near Biden this election, DeSantis would have been President if not for Trump.

My old college coach, Bob Cortese  (an Italian hardliner), used to say “punch them in throat and see if they wanna play in the 4th qtr”. 
 

no one beat us because they were tougher than us. 
I like this mentality of knuckles. They can talk about “no holding” but to me it says “we gonna punch ya.”   

FHSU player huh.

Voters have their choice in the primaries, and Republicans chose to dislike Ron DeSantis. The more they got to know him, the more they disliked him. Not my opinion, just math.

Might have missed Carefully worded General Election piece.   He was top second choice candidate after someone’s primary choice just prior to Iowa.   Not my opinion just fact.  If Trump were not a candidate DeSantis would have run away with the primary.

I used to think that the power brokers of the party would eventually get burned out from Trump and decide to move on.
 

Given the losses in the ‘18 Midterms, the ‘20 General and the massive underperforming in ‘22 Midterms, the endless indictments, charges, lawsuits, installing his daughter in law to drain RNC funds, and the overall endless chaos he brings… and there's barely a whisper of moving on from him. I don’t think they ever will now. Which doesn’t make sense to me from a strategical perspective. If you had that kind of candidate on paper without a name, no political entity would touch them. 
 

And to the people who say “Oh but his base is so fanatical, the R’s can’t lose his base.” Yes. They are fanatical, but they’ve clearly not given the party a boost in power. They’ve either lost or underperformed in every election cycle. 

There’s a palpable hunger in this country, on both sides of the aisle, for someone new, different and young. I think this hunger far outweighs the MAGA base. I’ll never understand why the R’s can’t recognize this and move on. 

I agree.   DeSantis would have dominated this general election

Well....then voters need to make a statement on this in November.

 

 

This is no different than the Obama folks telling Biden what to do.   No one seriously thinks Biden is making all the decisions at the WH with his current mental functions.

The other reason, dems voted against it, is simply because it was something the repubs proposed

This is THE reason 

Thanks everyone!

This. FISA needs to be fixed so they can’t spy on our own people. This is why dems voted against it. The Rs that voted against it did so because orange man bad told them to. There is a very distinct difference here. One party is trying to do what is right and the other party is ignoring their constituents and doing the bidding of one man.  Somebody was poo pooing the idea Trump would become a dictator. Well, he already is one for republicans.

GL!

 

I was busy "working" and did not get to post it in time but I snagged some right after the bell (school and market)

 

Some dong put a short report on them and scapled a massive gain on puts.  But the company issues a press release refuting it!

 

I got in at 51 it is already at 55.73 in the after market.  It might go up 60% tomorrow.

 

 

Or go bankrupt because I suck.

Sorry.  I’m not falling for another one!

Honestly, I am with you, I am always shocked when someone likes a post of mine.

Archy thinks ballot harvesting is bad but can't explain why.

Red hasn’t read any posts.  Archy says (in posts on this very Huskerboard thread not too long ago so it’s not hard to find) it should be now be legal nationwide.   
Archy also said in 2016, 2018, 2020 it was illegal in many states and tried to explain the concept of ballot harvesting to someone else who thought it was something different. 

Yet we end up with your post
