    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    I admire that you are willing to spend more for worse care (and more so appreciate that you recognize this will happen), but for whom? This didn’t quite answer the question of who falls out in the current system

    2026 : Around the League

    Not sure if you intended to disagree with anything I said, but I feel like I covered this by saying he’d be the best pitcher in baseball (which includes Skubal). But it’s also true Skubal would be better if he played in Randy’s era. That’s all I’m trying to say

    2026 : Around the League

    Randy is the most dominant pitcher in my lifetime. He would be the best pitcher in baseball. But he also immensely benefitted from being one of the only hard throwing pitchers in his era. Modern hitters are accustomed to velocity the previous eras

    Of course. But there is similarly a huge cost (short and long term, direct and indirect) to destabilizing the world’s energy supply for an extended period, creating a failed state with a power vacuum, spending hundreds of billions, weakening relationships with allies, enriching Russia, losing...

    2026 : Around the League

    It’s a flawed rhetorical exercise. Randy Johnson wouldn’t be as good in the modern game (and Sale would have been better in the 80’s). We don’t have any data on whether Glavine disproportionately benefitted from a worse called strike zone. He wasn’t one of the best pitchers of his generation...

    We don’t have to grade them on a curve. We spend massive amounts on our defense and intelligence apparatus. We can expect accountability. Now if we want to evaluate their actions on a rubric separate from the one they provided, then sure fine. Maybe American deaths and taxpayer dollars are...

    See my longer response I just edited Yes. I think we knew exactly where all of their facilities were when we attacked in June because those facilities have been getting inspections from the IAEA for years. And you can measure the presence of enriched uranium from a distance.

    If you truly think that, then it requires you to admit the first operation failed and that you were lied to. Trump as recently as last month at the SOTU said that we “obliterated… wiped out” Iran’s nuclear capability.

    And we will be told immediately that it was a success (whatever “it” becomes). Midnight Hammer — That supposedly destroyed Iran’s nuclear capability by 2 years yet we were back 6 months later because they were “days away”. These people lie as natural as you and I drink water.
