.. but not for long. Credit to Finland for making it interesting

Well, this got real interesting real quick

That is clearly the matchup the TV networks are pulling for. Should be a good game

Maybe Finland can do something on the PP and make it a semi-game ... will be curious what the US does against Sweeden, looking like it will end up being a pretty meaningless game for both teams pending any major comeback by Finland

The 4 nations tournament has been pretty entertaining. US is looking real good

One headline I think summed up Carter perfectly, "Good man, middling President"

I should have phrased it as "I would like a good explanation "

I would really like an explanation for these two Woman who embezzled $53M for Dixon, IL to spend on a pretty lavish lifestyle A PA judge who took kickbacks in exchange for sending kids to a private juvenile prison...

Regarding the pardons, there is no doubt the President is given essentially unlimited power of pardon. It is not a giant shock, despite any past declarations, that he would pardon his son. My primary problem with pardons in general are those that happen after the election. If there were to...

I really liked the Texas event shirts .. they are generally pretty good but this was one of the better ones. Wearing it as we speak actually

Saw them Saturday in Fort Worth, really good show (saw it last year in Vancouver so no surprises) ... but a lot of fun and they sounded quite good. I will say I really enjoyed The Hu as well. I don't think I will rush out and buy their albums, but I would see them again. Interesting...

Going on Saturday in Fort Worth (I saw the tour last year in Vancouver) .. looking forward to it. Especially since they are playing there instead of their usual venues around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Really nice arena that was built for concerts primarily versus sports. The sound is...

a problem with both parties .. the "it's their turn" nominee who is a poor candidate. Dole was that for the GOP, no shot at beating (Bill) Clinton where others might have at least had a shot, (Hillary) Clinton should have beaten Trump .. but snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory, but she...

A long, but good article on the Latino vote. I think the Democrats for a long time just assumed their support like the black vote ... they vastly misread this. Demographics turns out not to be destiny. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/11/11/why-democrats-lost-latinos-00188769

That is what people were saying in poll after poll ... whether they were right or wrong is a different matter .. but really does not matter when it comes to the electorate. She locked herself in hard with an unpopular administration instead of trying to make herself some kind of "change" when...

I am not happy Trump won, but I am happy Harris lost (if there results were different, just switch the names). But I guess $1B in such a short period of time does not seem to buy so much any more. In any case, polls showed over and over people were unhappy with inflation and thought the...

I would take exit polls with a a bit of a grain of salt, but from NBC .. you have to give people a reason to vote for you. (red is Trump, Blue Harris). Full results here https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/exit-polls

I have to agree with this. Clinton had his Sister Soldja (or however you spell it) moment which helped him a great deal ... Harris really needed one of those Edit for those not alive or very young when that happened https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_Souljah_moment

I am in the San Francisco area for a few days. I think here actually sums up part of why Trump won. In the local races (all not declared yet), there is almost a universal shift towards more moderates mostly running on public safety issues. The proposition to repeal the lessening of...

I really cannot argue with you. I think the actual answer though is I would not be surprised by anything. Between Trump being. .. well Trump. Biden completely flaming out so late and Harris, despite being VP being somewhat of an unknown (compared to most major party nominee at this stage and...
