- So they outbid Tony…huh. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 09:46 1
  - I suspect it's a combination of Tony not wanting to alienate his new partners at CMLL and her not wanting to work with RUSH. - David Jul 10, 09:49
A bipartisan group of senators announced a deal Wednesday on a congressional stock trading ban aimed at preventing members from profiting from insider - decline Jul 10, 09:19 6
- On Capitol Hill, a Desperate Bipartisan Attempt to Turn The Page From President Biden's Encroaching Mortality -- nm - NYT Pitchbot Jul 10, 09:45 2
  - (though "ban spouses and children from trading in March 2027" kind of gives away the game) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 10, 09:47 1
    - But not judges, right? Just checking for a friend. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 10, 09:48
- They keep asking, they keep not passing it. And follow me here...If Trump is elected and he privatizes VA Tricare, and Medicare and those contracts go - Pippy Jul 10, 09:26

- They (his admin) is just waiting out the clock until DJT names his 'Himmler' - Jovian Jul 10, 08:29 28
  - Do you really think Biden's dropping out? You really think they're gonna go with Kamala? nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 10, 08:30 27
    - If he drops out I don't think the nominee will be Kamala. I don't know who would run or would even want to run. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 10, 08:36 25
      - If he were to drop out (and he shows no signs of doing so), Kamala is the only real option at this point. -- nm - ty97 Jul 10, 08:44 5
        
        Trump beat Hillary, Trump would beat Kamala. -- nm - LFG Jul 10, 08:55
        
        You'd think the black asian woman with a record of being tough on crime would be perfectly suited to an election against a convicted felon attacking - oblique Jul 10, 08:52 3
        
        I haven't assessed who I think would be a better candidate (Biden, Harris, someone else). I think you torpedo the party if you skip over Harris though -- nm - ty97 Jul 10, 09:07
        
        and yet -- nm - Pippy Jul 10, 09:03 1
        
        heh, and yet we live on Earth 2 where all nightmares come reality. - Jovian Jul 10, 09:06
      - He's not droping out at this point he's dug his heels to far in -- nm - eag Jul 10, 08:38 8
        
        He might not have much choice in the matter come convention time. -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 08:42 6
        
        The convention is too late for ballot access in some states. -- nm - Dano Jul 10, 09:15 1
        
        Plus, the war chest is *his* and KH. -- nm - LFG Jul 10, 09:17
        
        what makes you think that? The pledged delegates won't unpledge and as of yesterday a whopping total of 6 congressmen (of 213) were calling for him - decline Jul 10, 09:01 2
        
        I don't think that but was trying to point out that the choice may not be his own. -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 09:04 1
        
        This would be like the Democrats holding a bazooka to Joe’s head while the exhaust port in back is pointing at their dicks. - Will Hunting Jul 10, 09:43
        
        They ain’t overthrowing him. He won the nomination. - Will Hunting Jul 10, 08:45
        
        Well imo what else is he supposed to do? "Oh Im thinking about it? I havent decided yet?" - Jovian Jul 10, 08:41
      - But do they have a choice in the matter? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 10, 08:36 9
        
        Here's an article from The Washington Post about their options. -- (link) - Krusty Jul 10, 08:40 1
        
        That article doesn't begin to address the effects of campaign finance laws and state election law issues (getting on the ballot). - pmb Jul 10, 08:51
        
        Sure. They don't have to go with Kamala. They can choose anyone they want at the convention. The later it gets the less options there are to change - Krusty Jul 10, 08:38 6
        
        if you want to lose the entire black vote, by all means pass her over -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 10, 08:44 5
        
        She's not going to win even if she brings out the Black vote as there are way too many people that seem unwilling to vote for a woman. - Krusty Jul 10, 08:52 1
        
        yes and yes to the IM -- nm - Pippy Jul 10, 09:04
        
        If she is the replacement and she looses then she can't come back in 2028 -- nm - eag Jul 10, 08:47 2
        
        if she loses there won't be an election in 2028 -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 10, 08:51 1

Argentina posts Not Like Us track after Drake bet $300k on Canada -- (link) - Beaker 🍺 Jul 10, 08:03 7
- As others have pointed out, he is almost certainly being staked for these bets as promotion. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 08:05 6
  - Has to be. No one in their right mind would bet that much on that match, even if they're stupid wealthy. - Krusty Jul 10, 08:19 5
    - if the ref hadn't been from Argentina, blind and stupid we might of had a chance -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 10, 08:21 4
      - Sure but you don't bet $300k on a match where the odds of your team winning is so low. Canada isn't a bad team but they're far from Argentina. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 10, 08:33 2
        
        I think it was 9:1 to win, which if anything undersells it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 08:39 1
        
        That's better than I would have guessed. I'd throw $10 on that. Not $300k. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 08:41
      - nahhh, we didn't get anything going in the second half - Reagen Jul 10, 08:21

- Is this guy related to James/Dave Franco? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 10, 07:18 1
  - No. He's a Ken Griffey Jr. kind of talent who turned out to be a monster. -- nm - David Jul 10, 07:19
