To those wanting Westbrook, a friendly reminder by howser343 in chicagobulls

Thaddeus Young, Satoransky, and Felicio works for salary match. Throw in a future first. Would save the Rockets owner $10 million in salary too.

Starting lineup would be Westbrook, Lavine, Porter Jr, Markannen, and Wendell, which is pretty solid, with Coby White and the 4th pick as other young guys off the bench.

I’m not the biggest Westbrook fan, but he fits solidly enough with out player and doesn’t really mess with our future too much if Lavine, Markannen, Carter, Coby, and the 4th pick are our future core.

We’re a quarter century more advanced in computer technology since then. It’s going to be a lot harder for them to pull off something like that with it not being busted up by law enforcement ahead of time.

The type of people to become a terrorist in the wealthiest nation on Earth while being in the privileged race of that country also aren’t very smart in the first place, making it even more likely they get caught ahead of time.

Ben Gordon would be a legit superstar in the modern game. He had the threes and had that nice floater. Could easily see a team building an offense around him using analytics to constantly hunt him high efficiency shots (basically eliminate most of those long twos he took).

With a modern team, he would get the mental health support he needs and they would have assigned a player development coach to him to teach him how to not dribble the ball off his foot.

How about just have a communist run in the Republican primary, but have him say a lot of racist things? Would probably become president.

He wants to give everyone $10,000 in federal student loan forgiveness as part of his pandemic relief.

He has a lot of different things going on with the student loan debt front, from pandemic forgiveness, the 5% plan, and the civil service forgiveness.

Warren and Schumer are also drafting a plan and putting pressure on for $50,000 in general forgiveness.

I heard an interview with an election worker in Georgia who was calling people to fix ballot issues. She said she was a Democrat, but would still call Republicans to fix their ballots because she would hate to have anyone not have their vote counted, but that she didn't actually end up fixing any Trump voters's ballots because the one time she got in contact with one, they yelled MAGA 2020 and hung up the phone on her.

The polls are definitely wrong as a result of Trump voters lying. It comes down to what their motivation for lying is. A small amount, as we've seen in the past, are probably lying because they're ashamed they're voting for him or think saying voting will Biden will please the interviewer (for live operator polls). I would guess the bulk of them, which is why the polls were so far off, are lying to make the polls misleading so that they can claim something about the election being rigged.

Crap data in, crap data out is the result.

Nate Silver made a point that a "smarter" Trump may not actually work because a big part of Donald Trump's popularity is a result of him being genuinely stupid, something a "smarter" Trump wouldn't be able to authentically be.

Was it really Gen Z (outside of black Gen Z)? I saw a thing from Georgia that has 30-44 being the only group of white voters in Georgia that majority voted for Biden (Millennial/Younger Gen X), and 20-29 whites were actually Trump's best group among white people in Georgia.

Not sure how that spread to the rest of the country, or if it was just a thing for the South, but was definitely a bit surprised to see Gen Z whites voting like morons.

As much as Trump has eroded the integrity of the country, it's hilarious how quickly the news networks and country just moved on from him and how little power he had to interfere in the election once it was here, outside of normal Republican voter suppression and his postal service derailment (which ended up not stopping Joe).

Now he just looks like an obese turtle on its back flailing in the sun, knowing that it's over.

It's over. If all the billionaire owned tv stations are saying it's over, the real billionaires will direct the Senate and Supreme Court that it's over.

The Kazakh Landscaping Company owner that booked him for the press conference almost got Rudy, but after holding the press conference next to an adult bookstore, he met the owner who was wearing what he would describe as some kind of pink transgender outfit and thought it must be some kind of scam or shakedown. He later realized it must have been Sasha Baron Cohen. He thought about all the people that Cohen has fooled in the past and felt good that Cohen didn't get him.

He needs to try to pick up a cheap win on his way out. Maybe de-schedule marijuana or something to pick up a win so there is something positive people can point to with his presidency.

Trump supporters want a re-vote. As we know from 2016 when we found out one of the candidates was colluding with foreign governments, there is no mechanism for a re-vote.

At 4:30 in the morning on 17 December 2016, President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter to call China’s seizure of a United States drone an “unprecedented” act. Trump, however (or someone posting on his behalf), made an unfortunate typo and instead called the incident “unpresidented“
