I see your point, Gr8t. I’m just suggesting that the same logic runs in many different directions. Eg It wouldn’t matter what the dems did, if the...
I think your choice of metaphor largely predetermines your conclusion. Once we assume that the president of the United States will have no greater...
Maybe I’m old school, Thom. While of course I agree that politics is all about appearances rather than truths, it would seem to me that we should...
New data suggest that 2024 is virtually certain to be the warmest year on record. 2024 'virtually certain' to be world's warmest year on record

The shear breadth of explanations being offered suggests to me that we plainly don’t know why elections go the way they do. I am also not...
People not wanting to own up to being wrong actually seems like one of the most base human tendencies. Perhaps not admirable, but almost the...
It is weird. I wonder if some might be ghosts of Too Hot’s past?
I have seen this claimed a few times. Do you have source? Because I can’t find evidence of Trump’s odds going up like that....
