I'm good. Wife still is in bed like she got hit by a mack truck.
She's been down since Friday, so she's on day four. I was at least functioning... this is hitting her a lot harder then myself.
How about you and the fam?
Hindsight being 20/20 and all...

Maybe I am but Aloha gets a lot of sh$t on here because he doesn't support Trump. Of course, I don't need to defend him.... he's a big boy and can take care of himself. However, claiming he's not a Republican is just plain dumb in my opinion. He and I disagree on some things but that doesn't mean that I think he's not a Republican.
Hard to tell. Republicans should have gotten some testicular fortitude and gotten rid of him when they had the chance.
Our office fridge is stocked with Celsius drinks. Try them if you haven’t. Good stuff.
There was a time when I kept a list of Dems and Pubs in Congress who sometimes voted with the other party. Someone such as Susan Collins or Joe Manchin comes to mind. Those on the list deserved special attention in my way of thinking
Saying Collins and Manchin (or our own Aloha) are Dems or Pubs in name only misses an important point. This being they keep an open mind and do listen to the arguments on the other side.
Same goes for the labels "conservative" and "liberal". Once you proudly claim a label do you close your mind to what actually could be a good idea ? Always amazed when Dick Lugar could accurately describe both sides of an argument. Lugar was accused of not being conservative enough when losing in the primary.
Unlikely. The extremes of the party have the most influence when the party is out of power and then during an open primary. Biden bent because he needed to consolidate support after a tough primary fight against Sanders. If Hillary was running for reelection in 2020 she would have been no such intraparty pressure.
How about going back even farther and where would the country be today if Gore would have won his home state so the hanging chad would have meant nothing. Bill Clinton whether you like him or not had the country in a pretty decent position. He worked with the Republican House and Democratic Senate. Bush gave us Obama which gave us Trump which gave us Biden and now we are stuck with the last two again.
Couldn't the same have been said about Democrats holding Joe Biden to his word about being a bridge president on the 2020 campaign trail? I suppose I could just chalk it up to ovarian certitude...
So Much for Biden the Bridge President
He ran as a short-term fix but has become a long-term proposition.
Yeah, let’s talk about politics, but leave politics out of it. Because that makes sense.

Has the gap grown so wide that no one can bridge it ?

It’s not just racial. Check this out.
The richest 1/3 of Americans now slightly favor Democrats. Democratic support from the poorest 1/3 is collapsing. Democrats have become the party of the upper middle class.
I don’t think one person winning or losing has that much of an effect on the attitudes, desires, etc of hundreds of millions or the decades long trends that were building.
Trump didn’t create the populist movement; he capitalized on it. Nor did he create the social justice movement; it was there in our schools and universities for decades before (read Haidt’s book Coddling of the American Mind).
If Floyd still happens, the SJW still become ascendant. I think Hilary would bow to them.
The problem with trying to extrapolate anything from polls which is the basis for graphs like that is there is no way to tell if the participants which happen to be non-white are actually representative of any kind of general trend or just reflect what that limited sampling happens to feel. Organizations such as Black PAC which poll and operate focus groups made up exclusively of Black citizens 100%. only poll Black people, not some small sample size like the polls being cited do.
Much larger sample size and much less chance of outliers. When these polls and focus groups dealing exclusively with Black people consistently rate the number 1 threat to Black people as "the election of Donald Trump", I'd say this supposed racial realignment is about as relaible a theory as the "red tsunami"...
And what's with the rash of white Trumpers creating fake AI images purporting to show Trump hanging out with POC? Wouldn't the easiest (and most honest) thing for Trump to do be to actually go where Black people are and pose for actual real photos?
Aloha is also fond of labeling Trump supporters “not Republicans”.
I do wish he had done that, I think most of us do.Couldn't the same have been said about Democrats holding Joe Biden to his word about being a bridge president on the 2020 campaign trail? I suppose I could just chalk it up to ovarian certitude...

Well, there are some that are not... there's been some that said they would only vote for Trump. Of course the other side is that some on the other side of the aisle label you as a Trumpster if you agree with anything he says or any of his policies. Aloha is on record as saying just because a person voted for Trump doesn't mean that person is a Trumpster.
I'm not sure everyone knows that. But if you're just giving him a hard time have at it... I'll even help you. 🤣 🤣 🤣
I've ignored that idiot for years now. Why others haven't is beyond me. Declutter your lives. He is nothing but a tiresome, ultra-partisan lunatic.
If there's one guy that could do it..........
At least, that's what I've heard here for the past 15 years
He’s a hockey guy now.

I"m gonna be a hockey guy soon too the way shit is going.
And I've never watched 10 mins of hockey.
Can we offer him ownership rights?

I'd name the med school after him at this point. Before he even stepped on campus.
Dammit. You made me dream and be optimistic again about IU hoops. I really need to stop and accept things as they are. Kinda like my long lost athletic ability. Sigh.
Don’t lose hope.
The PDGA is still out there, waiting for you.
Re IU bball, I’d offer a $10 million bounty for coaching a national championship team.
Ten more than I’ve watched. As I’ve said before, just s****** without teeth.
If you played a word association game with Trump and you said "black," he wouldn't say "white." He'd say "criminal." There's no other explanation for his suggestion that it's easier for Blacks to relate to him (and like him) now that he's been indicted and has a mug shot.
AI and fake images won't save him with Black voters. He'll end up doing as poorly with Black voters in '24 as he did in '20.
Ha! My daughter's friend walked in drinking one of those the other day and I had to ask her what it is.
You really are a millenial at heart.
I'd assume that he's referencing a lot of black people's feeling that the criminal justice system is rigged against them.
Or you think Trump thinks of himself as a criminal?
I usually say RINOs and do that because Trumpsters routinely call Republicans RINOs if they're not devoted to Trump.
