Right. I think the expectations are too high for him. He'll make a three or two each game and he'll keep things even while he's in. At Illinois he was never a guy that extended runs or anything like that or dagger shots. Just a nice bench piece/rotation player. Maybe he can expand on that more here, but that's not what he's been previously.
Goode is a solid all around and team guy, but he also instantly becomes the best shooter on the team... just as Kopp was. Kopp started for 2 years, and Goode came here knowing he'd be a bench guy. But we've been a horrid shooting team, so getting a shooter as solid as him that can play and defend a couple positions, isn't nothing either. He could be a solid contributor on a team that could win the B10 and advance past the first rd of the tourney, so he has the opportunity to do things that Kopp teams didn't.

Pick 6

Dems - internment camps

It sounds hyperbolic and over reactionary, but the US evoked the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798 to put Japanese and German American citizens in internment camps during WWII.

I don't believe there will be actual internment camps, but a lot of American-born citizens are going to get caught up in the mess Trump would cause by trying to mass deport millions of people.

Dude you can stop…I’m not a Pu fan. Just not the sunshine pumper. This program has been a huge disappointment for a long time. Woody needs to go and get a proven winner
like Goode, who's been on a winning B10 program, that went to an E8 last year and I think has won a B10 title or 2? Or Ballo who's played on great teams at AZ and Gonzaga? Or Rice who as a freshman lifted his Wash St team into the NCAA tourney?

How do you deal with Islam?

I’m not surprised. Western Jews have long been pacifists and known to try and appease. As a strategy, it hasn’t worked out that well historically.

JDB, unfortunately you are correct about the Western Jew approach not working for them against anti Semitism even in the West, much less in the Middle East.

Is it because they are naive or because they are misunderstood? Or is it the nationalism, religion, and all the other factors mentioned by you in your post about Amin Maalouf These factors seem to be the prevailing forces motivating how we conduct ourselves.

New Yorkers Lining Up for Trump

Just an FYI MSG seats 19,500 people capcity.

"As the World's Most Famous Arena, there's no debating that history happens here. Beyond our 19,500-seat arena, Madison Square Garden offers a variety of spaces to accommodate your special event."

The Harris rally in Houston Fri night was in Shell Energy stadium which seats over 22,000

Shell Energy Stadium is an American multi-purpose stadium located in Houston, Texas that is home to Houston Dynamo FC, a Major League Soccer club and the Houston Dash of the National Women's Soccer League and was the first soccer specific stadium built in a major metropolitan downtown city. Wikipedia
Address: 2200 Texas Ave, Houston, TX 77003
Capacity: 22,039

Both stadiums will fit more people when seats are placed on the floor/field. But at full capacity the Harris crowd is already larger,
The Harris campaign lists 30,00 at Fri's rally, and they were loud and energetic. So I'm not sure Trump drawing 25,000 at a rally in a state he'll lose by double-digits, compared to Harris drawing 30,000 in a state which may actually be competitive is much of a play for the popular vote?

I'd say this is a huge enthusiastic crowd, that Trump will have trouble matching in a smaller, older indoor facility. Since we're comparing crowd size...

And it is estimated that Trump had another 40,000 people outside MSG cheering him on even though they knew they could not get inside.

He's a poor man's Miller Kopp ... at best.

Right. I think the expectations are too high for him. He'll make a three or two each game and he'll keep things even while he's in. At Illinois he was never a guy that extended runs or anything like that or dagger shots. Just a nice bench piece/rotation player. Maybe he can expand on that more here, but that's not what he's been previously.

Pick 6

At least be consistent. Political stunts are stupid regardless of political views and should be criticized for each. Trump is notorious for cringey things.
Yeah, both campaigns have done cringey political stunts. That's where the 'both sides are equally bad' thing ends for me though. A lot of the crap coming out of the Trump campaign the last week or so go way beyond political views. At best, they're not shutting/disavowing down racist ideology at this point. With that said, Walz put little football helmets on his toes at a campaign rally and wonder why it doesn't give him more legit football bonafides and I still wouldn't care, based on who and what he's up against.

Harris vs. Trump 2024

That’s not much of a contribution. Mail voting security is a problem. This issue has been around forever. That is why absentee was so burdened with red tape back in the day when only in person voting was allowed. The problem is more important today. Marc Elias is a master at creating and then using all loopholes.
He and Raskin will be on tonight to discuss their plans to steal it after Trump is declared the winner. Raskin is already on record saying he won't certify. They really want another civil war.
