    When I was in college, one semester I had a stoner for a roommate. There was a PE requirement and he was enrolled in the badminton class, assuming it would be the backyard picnic version.

    He was one of two non-Malaysians in the class. Malaysians don't ******** around with badminton. Guy came back to the dorm just soaked with sweat, which he did not like.

    I knocked off my PE requirement with team handball, which I played in intramurals for all four years. I think the Malaysians worked his ass harder than handball worked ours.

    The room above mine my sophomore year was occupied by two guys who had a big-ass water bong. They'd pour the water out the window and it would roll down and get crap all over my window. My roommate and I got tired of reaching out our side windows to clean the outside center pane (which was not moveable) I finally had to go upstairs and tell them that if they were badass enough to bring a bong to school, they should be badass enough to clean it in the bathroom. Surprisingly, they agreed.

    We had an intramural doubles tournament in middle school. Me and this guy named Steve who lived on my block beat a troo contenda in the R8 and then lost to a couple of geeks in the semis.

    When I was doing my PE in college, it was general. When we came around to the badminton portion, there were 3 "groups."
    Group 1 were the 3 Asian (not sure their heritage).
    Group 2 was all the non-Asian kids.
    Group 3 was me.
    My family would get together every summer and we had a very competitive badminton tournament. By the third tournament,we had official-ish official jersies, the official US Badminton Association rule book, and even the occasional McEnroe moment. So in class I started against the non-Asians and kicked then all over the court. Against the Asians, I got my ass beat (I think I once got up to 10 points).

    It got boring very quickly.

    So apparently at the Trumpcon over the weekend Lindsay Simp G did a section on why you can’t have Trumpism without Trump

    this is how deeply cultish the movement is nowadays

    basically Rhonda Santis is a rino

    PSA raised an interesting point today that because Rhonda and Nappy Führer agree on all the racism and fascism, the main thing they can attack each other on is Vaxx. Trump already did this at the weekend. It is quite odd all the current vaccine conspiracy given how out of the news the virus is?

    A tall lanky fella from Wilmington named Mike was in my (intermediate) tennis PE class first semester of my freshman year.

    For one or two classes.

    He quickly found another way to get a PE credit.

    How does "everything get back to normal" with DeSantis, who is basically MAGA 2.0 but with a longer attention span than Mango had/has?

    As a sidenote, it's interesting to me that Wilson still believes the national spotlight of a Presidential campaign will not be very kind to DeSantis.

    PSA had some interesting discussion on this yesterday. GOP elites are very much in the bag for Desantis - and he is popular with your suburban and college educated republicans who are sick of Trump

    But the GOP base is mostly non-college educated whites these days, and those people still like Trump a lot, and don't like RINO republicans.

    DeSantis constantly runs to the right of Trump, yet Trump was most successful as an outsider populist who ran to the left of Jeb and co.

    So it's an odd situation where Trump is trying to run on his record - and snivelling GOP all have to say Trump was the best ever President, yet also as the outsider while all the pro-RDS types try to paint Trump as a loser

    Rhonda Santis meanwhile continues to be a complete coward

    Sarah Longwell with more good work.

    Even more alarming for Republicans is that not all pluralities are created equal. For example, one question I was keen to answer with this poll is how many “Always Trumpers” would follow Trump if he lost the GOP primary and launched an independent bid for president.

    And according to our poll, that 28 percent of Republican primary voters already locked in for Trump say they’ll support him even if he ran as an independent in the general election.

    Twenty-eight percent!

    All of which is consistent with what I’ve been seeing in focus groups.​

    As we've seen in this forum, the fapping over DeSantis includes a lot of wish casting. MAGAe still like Trump but realised Trump is a pathetic loser and would like someone who isn't a joke. So what they'd all prefer is he doesn't run (e.g. dies), so they don't end up having to support him again.

    The problem is Trump is a psychopath and commands a 30% nutcase voting block

    A number of pundits have been digging up Trump's refusal to commit support to the '16 candidate if it wasn't him. This is effectively how he subjugated the RNC because he could simply threaten to take his voters home. They belong first to him and not the GOP. Indeed control of the RNC is not even important anymore.

    It's almost as if fascism is dumb and bad

    I agree with Longwell.

    The GOP, and Rhonda and co have missed every chance to cast him out, because they are scared of him.

    So essentially the Dems should just ask some donors to bankroll an independent run by Trump in 2024.

    I think this is what GOP expects in terms of "getting back to normal"

    DeSantis can do just as much racism and fascism as Trump, yet is covered as a normal republican

    Lot of right wing folk still think it's 2020 even though we've been a long way from it. There's folks who still rage at Whitmer over 2020.
