States with Dem Govs right?

Imagine if he loses the election.
I think he'll absolutely try to contest the result if he loses; he'll take it to the Supreme Court. If they refuse to tyranically install him as dictator, he'll tell his supporters to revolt and take to the streets, armed.

Re: Coronavirus

The President released his "open up America again" guidelines for reopening the economy. It seems mostly reasonable and leaves a lot of the decision-making to the states. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/16/trump-plan-for-reopening-economy-191073 The seemingly reasonable plan and guid...

Re: Suns Videos That Make Me Happy

Marion was an amazing player, but he was an idiot for expecting more adulation. He was what he was: a great 2nd or 3rd option on a contender. Everybody acknowledged how great he was and that he was one of our core stars. He was paid handsomely. He made All-Star teams. Any disrespect he felt was just...

Re: Coronavirus

Today the President is on Twitter inciting protests and disobedience in states with quarantines and lockdowns. This is dangerous to the citizens, to law enforcement, and the rule of law.

Re: Suns Videos That Make Me Happy

Also, didn't we censor Longley on this site? I turned off all the person-name censorship settings about a month ago. It was kind of funny to have somebody like Longley or Marcus Banks or Hedo Turkoglu get censored out, but I thought ultimately I didn't want the site to block people from typing thes...

Re: Suns Videos That Make Me Happy

I could watch that Marion video on loop all day. Back in the mid-2000s I knew our team was special, but I didn't realize how truly rare it was to have a team like that, and how long it would be before we had anything remotely like that again. I miss those days.

Re: Suns Videos That Make Me Happy

So far Ayton is a lesser player than Amare was. But despite his lack of aggressiveness, he does have some positive qualities Amare lacked. He's already a much better defender than Amare ever was, and his jumper is much better than Amare's was when he came into the league. I am not worried about Ayto...

Re: Coronavirus

I don't think we can necessarily count on the military yanking him out. Technically it's the Secret Service's job to escort the POTUS out when his time is up, but Trump has carefully installed lots of loyalists there, too. I'm worried that when the time comes, the folks who would need to assert thei...

Re: Coronavirus

That press conference was terrifying. This guy is openly admitting that he sees himself as a dictator. I don't understand why there isn't more panic and outrage about this. He absolutely is going to try to mess with or cancel the November election, or will deny its results, or will refuse to leave o...

Re: Democratic primary watch

^ I do think misogyny was a factor. But it's hard to quantify, so I chose to describe it as a "specific dislike for her personally." For example, I don't know that Bernie voters would balk at voting for Liz Warren, despite her being female, since she is more of a progressive. But I do thin...

Re: NBA Season Suspended due to COVID-19

What do you guys think? Any chance we play any more regular season games this year? What if we had controlled games starting in mid-May with no crowds? All players would be monitored closely of course. The skeleton broadcast crew would practice social distancing. Any chance? I really think it's unl...

Re: Democratic primary watch

Last time weren't there about 15-20% of Bernie voters who went for Trump? I think that number will be a lot lower this time around, for three reasons: 1) In 2016 some folks frustrated with the system, who went for Bernie because they wanted a revolution, may have given Trump a chance as a "chan...

Re: Suns News: Week 20 3/9-3/15

I like the idea of Markkanen a lot, but then whenever I go look him up, I'm disappointed by the numbers. I think of him as a great 3-point shooting big man, but he shot 34% on them this year and only 35.6% in his career. His overall FG% is also quite low, at 42.5%. And I thought he was one of their ...

Re: Democratic primary watch

Biden's choice of VP will ultimately decide the election, in my opinion.
I think he'll ask Klobuchar. She just makes too much sense. I really wish he'd pick my beloved Liz Warren, but I doubt it.

Re: Around the League: Week 20 3/9-3/15

I like Game of Zones, but I feel like it's gotten kind of over-produced. It was more fun when it was just cheap and poorly animated, like a YouTube video. Now it looks all shiny and pretty like it has a real budget.

Re: Coronavirus

NYT reports today that Trump has an investment stake in a company that produces name-brand hydroxychloroquine. That explains part of why he is so gung-ho about recommending that drug as a miracle cure for COVID-19 even though its effectiveness in treating that disease is not well proven yet.
