Betonline. They've got a shitload of political betting options. This is about the third bet I've ever made on politics, but I think their odds are very useful for looking at what is likely to happen in elections.

For example, Donald Trump is, frighteningly enough, the current favorite to win the 2024 Presidential election at +165. Biden is +175.

They need to change the motion to vacate to at least 100 votes, otherwise continued chaos.

Looks like Jordan and Scalise are going to get the first swings at it.

Logan Duncomb:

"I've made the decision to step away from the game of basketball for health reasons. Basketball has been a huge part of my life for over a decade. I'm incredibly grateful to the countless people who have helped me along the way − especially those at Moeller High School, Indiana University and Xavier University. I'll remain enrolled at Xavier University, where I'll work to complete my undergraduate degree. Excited about what lies ahead."

Fwiw he never should have been a top 100 recruit. He wasn’t much in high school other than being tall.

Yea, I can see why you would think it's a mental health issue based off that statement (eyes roll and roll....)

Hell, my initial take was that he had a fear of flying, but I have no inside info on that. Maybe we should just go with that and tarnish his reputation that way.

Maybe he's just a stiff? That was the previous diagnosis....

Who cares what Biden did or didn’t say. Whatever it was, building a wall was one of the things that got Trump elected.
And apparently Biden finally came to a realization 3 years late that “Hey, that WAS a pretty good idea!l” YOUR guy wants to finish it now. Does that hurt your feelings Pauly??
Don’t get me started on the “spending of money by the US Government” when you’ve got a Dementia Patient in the White House spending money like a drunken sailor on nothing worth mentioning and forgiving loans that intelligent people who actually went to college should be paying BACK to the Government. That kinda caused ludicrous inflation

MOR you seriously need an economics class. Inflation is not solely a U.S. problem, it’s a worldwide problem, and biden is not the only us official that is at fault.

Other countries are experiencing inflation because the Fed Reserve is exporting it/ours.
