hopefully the GAA get some inspiration and look into dubs (county and clubs)

I hope so too. Methinks the corruption countrywide will keep you rednecks in check and quiet.

You're a gas man. No way you'd have had any "vaguely inanimate" nonsense if you hadn't been told.

Interesting little political interlude coming up as Biden decides whether to go again.
He could, he probably deserves to - but he really shouldn't.

If anyone happens to be awake very late tomorrow night or early Tuesday morning, it’s worth tuning into the Lakers vs OKC.
LeBron is 36 points away from passing Kareem for most points in NBA history.

He’s averaging a little over 30 points so the projection is technically the following game but I suspect he’ll pass him in this game.

I tried to edit but site was down as I mixed up the dates but he did it last night anyway.

It is one of those records that nobody ever thought would be broken again so it’s amazing he has managed to achieve it.

From here it is hard to imagine it is ever broken again given he intends to play for another 3-4 years, adding approx 4,000 more points.

Who on the dem side would win if not him? I agree he is too old though, he's very doddery as it is, never mind after a long campaign vs Trump or RDS.

I also fully accept that Trump is likely to torpedo his own chances vs almost anyone just by being Trump.

He should be resting up and enjoying old age. The Dems need to understand they can equally lose credibility . Surely there must be someone else.

Assuming Kamala Harris isn't the defacto fallback option, who is number 2 to Biden?

He's fav now. Some move from 7 / 1 + not too long ago.

**Hitchhiker's Guide To...** · 08-02-23, 08:53

He's absolutely walking it against Trump. Possibly walking it against De Santis, but maybe not. I see De Santis has now widened in the odds for Republican nominee. Despite my big bet on him, I do have doubts as to whether he is charismatic enough to win a nomination - even if people will *want* him to be the nominee.

Mayor Pete if he had any other name I think would be a shoe in.

Mine fell out of my bag and ended up with a cracked screen.

Think it might finally be time for a replacement. Looking pretty reasonable <200.

I only use it to run meetings, for which it is fine. Couldn't use it for real work but most people could, nice piece of kit.

**Raoul Duke III** · 08-02-23, 09:53

Forget about Trump, he's done. (If you didn't already know this, the Kochs turning their back on him confirms it)

So the interesting (and attractively priced) candidates are the putative alternatives to both De Santis and the Prez. I quite like Nikki Haley in that role on the GOP side. Dems...no idea, although the ideal candidate would be a blue Governor in a Red state.

**Hitchhiker's Guide To...** · 08-02-23, 09:55

Its mad really with those 10,000 dead from an earthquake on our (relative) doorstep - and yet they seem maybe too culturally distant to properly connect. You can see even the news is struggling to keep it at top billing as the story just isn't getting the clicks to justify keeping it up.

De Santis is a great GOP candidate on paper. Once you hear him in person, he's pretty meh.

Plus his life will be turned upside down and inside out - by people on his own side of the aisle. He looks like a man with secrets.

Also, you could throw a vengeful Trump into the mix. Gonna be a fun watch!

Planning to double down on my bet on De Santis now it has widened again to around 2/1. Only for the Republican nominee. Think its far more complex to judge the actual winner.

Absolutely agree. But with the type of firepower he'll have behind him I suspect he'll be in a situation of everyone wanting him to win, which is a decent starting point. Florida is ecstatic about him, so its not like he can't win elections.

**Raoul Duke III** · 08-02-23, 09:59

Biden has been a pretty good President, let's not forget. And he's a hell of a lot smarter and tougher than the media portrays him.

If he really wants it, and his health holds up, who would have the balls to take him on?

You think Trump is done in that he won't even get the rep nomination, or just that he hasn't a hope of winning the actual election if he is the nominee?

I mostly agree on the latter, although I'm not totally on board with it, but I think it's fairly safe. In terms of the former I think there is a more than middling chance he will be the rep nominee given how fucked rep politics is over there.

Florida is now solid Red though. And therefore irrelevant in the context of the presidential race.

Compare his legislative and foreign policy success with that of the previous shitshow administration. And then look at how well his party performed in midterms where they were set up for a trouncing.

I'm wholly ignorant of US politics. I'm just wondering what the stand outs are.

Biden usually looks like he doesn't know where he is. But that's probably selection bias.

Also, not sure how war in Europe rates when it comes to foreign policy successes

7% fee increases announced by the kid's school, presumably due to baguette price inflation. ffs.

Because all the easy targets in the GOP arent in power during that time.

I think we can all approximately agree that Biden's greatest foreign policy failing is encouraging the Irish language zealots by allowing An Cailin Cluin to get an oscar nomination.

Definitely a worthy contender for best film of the year rather than best foreign language

As I said here before it would be perfect if it wasn't for the unforgivable blunder of having the cuckoo still singing at the end of summer.

No one mentions the small role of the Father that Micheal Patric absolutely nails but even he is upstaged by the other real star of the show (along with the cuckoo) the battered up yellow with black trim Granada !
