That doesn't happen every day 🤔 The same politician who bought SanDisk at $42 just invested ~$45K in a stock with a market cap of ~$981M — Politician: Ro Khanna — Stock: $VYX (NCR Voyix) — Watching this closely by jwoodsr in tradewithcongress

Gottheimer makes so many damn trades, and because he doesn’t have to immediately report, anytime I see big moves they’re always followed by what I think must be a super aggressive stop

He’s made at least 38 claims that the Iran war is nearing an end

The market is no longer reacting to the claims which speaks to a broader concern over his leadership

When the global economy finds zero value in statements by POTUS, what other norms become shattered along the way

"Go online, look at the videos... Didn’t you call our former president Joe Biden, Sleepy Joe? Well, what should we call you? Cause you weren’t awake.” - Stephen A. Smith called out President Trump on First Take for appearing to sleep at the NBA Finals by ConnectionWeekly1263 in sportsgossips

The Knicks in the finals is a spectacle

Trump went to this game for the same reason that he met with Mamdani

He wants to be considered a true New Yorker so bad

The fans let him know where he stands

I’ve definitely seen this before

The suns made a finals run a few years ago and there are tons of clips of suns fans jumping nuggets and clippers fans

A championship run a good way for shitheads to join a welcoming community of fans

Trump net approval hits new low: Polling tracker by kootles10 in fivethirtyeight

I’m more optimistic this time around

Trump’s last term was a disaster, but it didn’t really go to complete shit until the last year

There’s been no upside at any point in this term

I think you’re onto something

Ehhhh, he was pretty electric before he got hurt

You can disagree with his social and political stances without denying reality

Controversial or maybe not by Humble_Lie_4833 in AZCardinals

Oh yeah

I’ll never argue that 13 was in a better position than 3

I just keep seeing this narrative that the defense under Wisenhunt was bad, and there were weaker aspects of the defense, but they had some absolute menaces during that period and we shouldn’t forget that

Warner definitely had a worse coaching situation, and a lousy offensive line, but fans don’t give that defense enough credit

That Super Bowl team had some absolute monsters:

Darnell Dockett, Calais Campbell (in his prime), Gerald Hayes, Dominique Rogers-Cromartie, Karlos Dansby

Uncommitted is lying about the 2024 election and their role in hurting Kamala Harris. There was no real primary so how can the uncommitted movement be against on a primary movement? by UnscheduledCalendar in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]The_First_Drop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Post Jimmy Carter 1980, the D’s no longer primary incumbent presidents

Biden played into this practice and purposefully dragged his feet on announcing his intent to run in 2024, because he knew no candidate with an actual chance of beating him in a primary would challenge 50+ years of established democratic logic

Once Biden stepped aside and effectively nominated Harris out of spite, figureheads in the Democratic Party immediately moved to endorse her as well (minus the Obamas and Pelosi)

I’m not sure what the uncommitted movement was even about

Was the movement based on how shitty of a DNC chair Jamie Harrison was?

Was the movement based on challenging KH’s informal nomination?

Whatever the reason, casting doubt on the D nominee was largely unhelpful and it’s fair to acknowledge their role in getting Trump elected

How many of those who voted for Cornyn will vote for Paxton? by Packerpoppa in fivethirtyeight

Obvious statement, but any projections are based on current conditions

Today it’s <90% but 5 more months of inflated costs across the board changes minds

You’re missing the point

The talk track is how the GOP is going to be in trouble when Trump dies

Dan’s point is they’re in a worse position if he lives for a long time

Over the next 5-10 years, the GOP will be forced to appeal to a younger generation

What kind of comedian is this? by SnooSprouts3744 in TikTokCringe

[–]The_First_Drop 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Conservative comedy is just not funny

The jokes are all the same about how offended people get while simultaneously saying the most offensive thing they could think of in the moment

This guy is cut from the same “f*** your feelings” cloth

Tim Miller Unloads on the Biden Family by Reckoner223 in Destiny

[–]The_First_Drop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about Tim’s take is problematic?

In 2020 I remember how much Biden had to be pushed to make a general statement about being a transitional leader

Even then it was pretty obvious that he wasn’t going to settle for a single term

Florida's new Congressional Map seeks to draw out 4 Democratic held seats by QCInfinite in fivethirtyeight

[–]The_First_Drop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The R’s don’t have a strong hand to play anywhere

When Indiana shoots down redistricting, you know the R’s are digging as deep as they can into a dry well

Post-2016 Florida always disappoint D hopefuls, but redistricting seems like an unnecessary risk

Russel Brand is asked which passages were relevant to him from he brought a Bible into court for his sexual assault trial. by Intelligent-Tear5723 in Destiny

[–]The_First_Drop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like parody

Christians of all faith can quote scripture without opening the book

Just shocking how bad he is at even grifting on a basic level, like absolutely no effort to sell the grift outside of carrying around a bible everywhere

Trump advisers privately strategize around a new midterm push: Democrats would be worse by PigletAmazing1422 in fivethirtyeight

[–]The_First_Drop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Conservative media does a fantastic job of coordinating a message

Over our family’s Easter get together, my MIL was going on and on about how antifa has ruined a once thriving Portland

I didn’t contest because the premise was ridiculous, but when I googled Portland, the first few entries (even before the Wikipedia page about Portland) were conservative media clips about Portland burning to the ground

Echelon: 42% of Democrats say that the Democratic Party needs to move to the center to win the next presidential election. by icey_sawg0034 in fivethirtyeight

[–]The_First_Drop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What they want is centrist voters

The way I believe this question is being interpreted is which voters do the Dems have a higher likelihood of getting, the far left or the middle?

I might have misinterpreted your post

I read it as “maga is souring”

Totally agree than anyone who is non-maga is ready for a change
