Harris wins popular, but Trump wins an EC squeaker. Senate GOP 52-48. House Dem by a small handful. However, the Dems don't show the drama the GOP did, and have no problem electing a Speaker and passing legislation, even if it goes nowhere in the Senate.

I will not predict IU football games.

Harris wins popular vote and barely wins the EC 276/262. Harris holds Wisconsin/Michigan/Pennsylvania by very small margins. Senate goes 51/49 Republican. Democrats take House by small margin. Trump goes ballistic and causes chaos in streets and government.

IU football loses a tough game at O$U but completes the regular season with only one loss. IU is selected for the championship tourney but loses in the first round.

IU basketball plays solid, comes in second in league, wins B10 tourney and reaches sweet sixteen in NCAA.

The Water Cooler continues to trend down in quality of posts and posters, losing the few remaining reasonable active voices.

If that second group is wrong, they lose a lot, too because Trump probably sets the party and the conservative movement back decades.

I do think the conservative movement will be set back significantly if Trump wins. A Trump loss is necessary for the party to take a good hard look at itself and make revisions necessary to make it a viable long-term national party. MAGA-Republican party (particularly the culture) is not viable.

Yeah, I'm under no illusions about any of that.

Formally, illegal immigrants don't qualify for many benefits (especially federal benefits). Realistically, I'm sure there are lots of them who get them. That's no different than any other public assistance programs -- be it SNAP, TANF, SS/Medicare, Medicaid, or PPP....there is almost certainly a significant level of fraud. How much is anybody's guess.

Click to expand...

Anecdotally, I've never met an illegal with fake docs that could get them access to benefits. They want to find someone to hire them off the books and then stay under the radar.

Trudeau is another gender gap situation ala Biden/Harris v. Trump.

Beat Washington.
Nothing else matters for IU football until Sunday.

I didn't say have the country is loyal to Trump. A significant percent are so loyal that there is absolutely nothing Trump could say or do that will change their complete and total loyalty to him. Others that are voting for him are hoping that someone will restrain his craziness (they say that here). They're gambling. They might be right, but it's not a bet I'd make.

Maybe not the best but it's pretty damn good. Schwarber was a huge part of arguably the biggest WS win this century. In one of the largest markets in the country. Now he is a key piece on another very good MLB team in one of the largest markets in the country. I would gather he is as well known or more well known than Vic. On Twitter Vic has 355k followers and Schwarber has 398k. Cuban has by far the most for someone who is IU connected it looks like.

Why do I care if other people are making more money than myself? Bitcoin isn't a zero sum game. The only thing that is important is if goods and services are getting cheaper in Bitcoin, which they are. Bitcoin, unlike the current debt base system, allows more of the productivity gains to flow back to all of us. The natural the state of the free market is deflationary, Bitcoin is showing that. Eventually, the median house will cost 1/10th of Bitcoin (which is what the common man cares about) as long as we continue to be more productive.

If you were selling this on TV you would have to add "past results do not indicate future gains".

A lot of Trump voters are hanging their hat on these excuses. They know he has no self-discipline, and they are betting on Vance and others to keep him from doing something stupid.

Good summary of Trump's scandals below. Almost any of them would have ended the political prospects and political career of any normal person. Trump is not normal and the loyalty of many for Trump is not normal. We're living in a very strange time in US history.
