Doesn't that move us from Trump being the worst jobs president in the last 50 years, by a long shot, to Trump being the worst jobs president in the last 50 years, but by a lesser amount?

Shooter has never rooted so hard for something as he does against the American economy.

 

Do you honestly trust these numbers anymore? it seems like they’re so open to manipulation. How can anyone trust them? I’m not even talking about Trump versus Biden, liberal versus conservative. Whatever the administration power is, they can manipulate them. It seems.

 

They will be quietly revised down in a month or two.

You are 180 degrees off.  I am 5 years or so from retirement, so I want a robust economy, every bit as much as I want IU to win basketball and football games (or even more).

The S&P could literally go to the moon and you'd be disappointed b/c Trump. IU football won a Natty, but you only care about Trump.

I am still flying my IU flag in the yard, still wearing my IU football gear (championship hats, T-shirts, sweatshirts). You are full of shit.

@shooter have you worked up the courage to put on a red IU hat ? Or still too MAGA-coded?

If Cignetti came out as MAGA, you'd burn it all. That is the point.

Cignetti definitely voted for Trump.

red IU hat?

I have a half a dozen IU hats, all red, red/white, red/white/black, all variations, and I wear them each proudly.  Red Cincinnati Reds caps too.

Now that MAGA has <30% approval, MAGA hats have pretty much disappeared in public, as far as I can tell, so no confusion exists.

You get a lot of mileage out of one comment I made years ago about wearing a red IU hat to a picnic in  a public park, and later having someone who was there and had seen me from a distance ask me if I had been wearing a MAGA hat. It did make me think for a moment that my hat choice was flagging me undeservedly as a racist moron, like you, but I set that aside and kept wearing IU hats.  Maybe bumping up the red & white version as my #1, for a while.

Brady is MAGA.  Tiger is MAGA. Jack Nicklaus is MAGA.  I don't care.

Cignetti is a smart man, and I seriously doubt he'll get involved in politics at all while he's still coaching. Looking at his past, he's not endorsed any political candidates or said anything about who he supports. He could be a Democrat, Republican, or independent, but it's unknown at this point. He might not even bother following politics. Any Democrat who claims he votes Democrat or any Republican who claims he votes Republican is talking out his/her ass. It would be a baseless claim.

Tom Brady! 

Of course the Indiana farm boy roots for the Patriots and Tom Brady. Doesn’t make him a venal front runner at all.

You told us that if you saw someone in your neighborhood wearing a red hat in the distance, you'd be worried they were MAGA.  Then you told us no one really wears red hats for teams in Florida because those weren't associated with any of the sports teams, and continued to argue that as people buried you in pictures of red hats from Florida sports teams.

You're just making shit up again.

What NFL team should an Indiana farm boy, being a teenager in the 1970s when there was no NFL team in Indiana, have cheered for? An Indiana farm boy who moved to New England in 1984 and lived there 1984-1987 and 1995-2005?

Front runner?  I sat on cold metal bleachers in Sullivan stadium to see Steve Grogan and Tony Eason play QB, when Brady was in grade school.

So, you're full of shit, too.  

I have supported the teams that I grew up with/near (IU, Pacers), a nearby MLB team (Reds), and an out of area NFL team (Patriots), since there was no Indiana NFL team.  My first interest in the Pats was when they drafted Sam Cunningham.  I had seen him dominate in the Rose bowl and started following their box scores in the Sporting News.  You pretty much didn't ever see non-local NFL teams play, unless it was on MNF in those days. Indy stations tended to carry Cowboys games for some reason, and I didn't want to be a front runner. My first NFL game was in the Fall of 1984, October 28 to be exact, comeback win over the Jets.
