So is Senator Padilla getting arrested a publicity stunt? I am not being facetious; I do not know anything about Sen. Padilla except that he is from CA. If it is a publicity stunt, is that OK?

You are 100% correct unfortunately, and I don't think that Michelle Obama would have a snowball's chance. BUT she/her speech is a good example of connecting emotionally - albeit in a very friendly environment - which is what I think we're saying Newsom does not do.

^^ "Was there anyone at the 2024 DNC with a killer speech?" Hell I'm a recovering Republican and I was fired up with Michelle Obama's speech...

I think it is quite interesting that this is now on page 16. Newsom certainly has us talking. I'll admit that early on I was really impressed with his polish and speaking ability, especially while "in the moment" in interviews and such. But reading this thread I think I'm coming around to...

It would concern me if ANY of my health professionals do not understand this difference, and Trump certainly doesn't get a pass. The only people that get a pass for not knowing about stages 1-4 of cancer - any cancer - are those under, say MAYBE 25 that have not lived long enough to know...

I am almost physically nauseated by him. Was it said here earlier - there is not an adjective in the English language that can adequately describe how vile he is.

Dribble dribble turnover

Instant offense!

I'm no analyst but it seemed to me multiple times on defense we - particularly J Wash - forced the ball handler baseline in classic UNC defensive fashion expecting help, but the help wasn't there. Layup BC.

Did you meet any beautiful women? If so I hope this wasn't the topic of conversation. While I think you have a point - to make a sports analogy, at some point you are what your record says you are - I want to think that we're just in a really bad time politically and socially. But you have to...

More likely, the utter ridiculousness of picks like Hegseth etc make the others "seem" normal by comparison. And the public and likely congresspeople are already suffering from buffoon fatigue.

This is fascinating, something I never knew. Thanks for bringing it up. I wonder if people with aphantasia prefer factual/informative type reading while those with hyperphantasia like descriptive fiction/fantasy etc.
