What I said or typed is what I said. I said they were inversely related which is a directional thing, not a magnitude. Anything less than a perfect, inversely relation could have a coefficient greater than -1. but less than 0. I listed the two biggest things of Biden's which were negative and Trump's approach on those two being positive. That is what I said and those two are true.

Mostly because he didn't have a 3 that was as good.
If he hasn't shown his love of size to you YET, I don't know what to tell you.

Back to the point, you're saying that a completely non partisan person could tell the hate for Biden from MAGA didn't mean they wanted his admin to fail but the hate for trump from dems definitely means they want him to fail. You guys are above such things. You straddle that fine line well.

Their goals are inversely related? I guess you're trying to say they are opposite. The larger goals are the same. Both want what's best for the country. They just have didn't views of what that is and how to get there. Unless of course you believe Biden wanted the country to fail, in which case there's nothing more to talk about.

The biggest domestic blunder of the Biden admin was the open border. I still don't know what was the goal of a policy to allow millions of unvetted people into the country.

To say we 'wanted it to fail' makes no sense because there was no clear definition of success - while the massive negative impacts were expected and obvious.

Do you know what they were trying to achieve with that reckless and disastrous policy?

It’s not comparing them as players but the situation. EHJ played a lot of minutes due to a lack of quality minutes. The quality was enhanced EHJ’s senior year with Ivey blowing up, Ethan Morton getting healthy, and IT improving. Same as next season with cox and Harris making the sophomore jump, Mayer, and Benter plus TKR playing a lot of 4, which essentially negates significant minutes that would be opened up by Heide leaving. We basically get Colvins 18 minutes back to split amongst Benter and Mayer. I just don’t see how Cox and Harris will lose much minutes from 19 and 15 and I don’t see Braden losing more than a few minutes a game. That’s why I see the 120 guard minutes looking like
Braden - 35
Fletch - 25
Mayer - 20
Cox - 20
Harris - 15
Benter - 5
I think West redshirts.
Also Benter might get more than 5 if he gets a chance to play 4 if we go really small. But I see Murphy filling that role more.

It’s an awful comparison. Fletch’s minutes may go down slightly if we have a lot of comfortable leads with five minutes to go to get him rest and to get run for guys like Benter. Hunter played fewer minutes because he was just an ok player.

I won’t repeat myself in detail from my previous post, but if you look at the facts you’d need to have two of the younger backcourt guys performing at an all conference level and complimenting Braden and Tre better than Fletch to even think about Fletch ‘losing’ minutes.

Wow! Prices of toys jumped. Does that mean you will have to spend more time playing with your kids and grandkids? Can we survive? Our tariffs are still not as high as the countries that raised their prices. What do you think will happen when Americans quit buying their overpriced toys? Where are they going to sell them? Laos, Venezuela, or Sudan? America is the only country to buy these expensive toys.

Click to expand...

Lol.. the only reason they are overpriced is because of the tariffs.. And these are just examples from one article. Here’s another example that I posted earlier:


The price increases include increases for tape, a fishing real, and a heating pad. By your logic, I’m guessing you think Americans should just manually hold things together, fish with their hands, and heat things with fire?

For the record, the defense of toys being a bad thing for kids is wild.

What uh, wtf is this? My theory is that Biden pissed off Russia against Ukraine, and then allowed them to become wealthy again to invade Russia. Biden wanted perpetual wars, and this was a way to do it where he looks like a good guy talking tough to Russia, and getting Congress to send money to Ukraine, with a generous portion to the Swamp.

Click to expand...

The US has been in perpetual wars since 1960. It is excellent for the economy and keeps the US focused against common enemies.

In 2016, Russia and China continued their aggression and expanded their territory. However, when Trump was elected, the media predicted WWIII with N Korea and Islamic terrorists.

Trump, like Obama, drew a line in the sand. The Taliban crossed it. Trump entertained Xi for dinner, arose before dessert, and left the room. When he came back, he told Xi that he just dropped the MOAB on the Taliban tunnels, wiping out many of them. Russia and China stopped their aggression. Trump had Jung-um turn over hostages without paying a king's ransom like Obama.He got back Korean War remains after 65 years of US Presidents begging for them. And N Korea curtailed its missiles exploding dangerously near Japan and Guam. Trump then started a string of Abraham Accords.

On day one, Biden announced the Green New Deal, and oil prices skyrocketed. Biden ignores the Abraham Accords. Biden approves the Nord Stream pipeline, because apparently, pipelines in the US are destructive for the earth, but pipelines in Russia are not. Biden does not enforce the sanctions against Russia or Iran, and they both get rich. Russia has the money to invade Ukraine, and Iran has the money to fund Islamic terrorism. Did anyone notice that funding the Houthis enabled them to control the Red Sea? Remember when we had supply shortages? Coincidence?

THANK GOD FOR TRUMP!

For those keeping track. Here are some more big price increases solely because of Trump’s tariffs:

Walmart workers are sharing photos of price hikes of 38% or more — and some prices are up at Target too

Photos are increasingly popping up on social media showing sharp price increases at Walmart after the company said tariff rates were "too high."

Fletch played 30.9 mpg last year. He played more than 36 minutes in 2 games and both were losses, one the big upset vs OSU and he played 36 in the upset vs Michigan. With Mayer alone he will lose minutes. Eric Hunter saw his minutes decrease from 30.6 his junior year to 25.8 his senior year and didn’t start all games despite starting the two prior seasons. Trevion, Newman, and It lost starts too. We had Jaden Ivey and too many good players and everyone was healthy. I see the same next year. I think fletch starts but if cox gets the jump like Ivey got he won’t sit and if Mayer is as good as advertised he could even take fletch’s starts. It’s not a bad problem to have. No one would ever have dreamed Trevion would play off the bench that year.

Comparing Fletch to EHJ is nonsense.

So this is the part that's NOT Biden's fault?

Yes, walking will be a thing of the past very soon.

Nor really the cap got rejected by the judge. It’s likely going to be raised to allow current walk-ons to be grandfathered in. I don’t think Purdue will have more than 15. Indiana can’t because they don’t have anyone left lol. Football will most certainly have more than 105.

biden's success was open borders and intersectionality...which were bad for the country. Trump's success was closing the borders and getting rid of Intersectionality. An inverse relationship as previously stated. I could have added economy etc, but thought it was pretty easy to see. Apparently TDS not only distorts the mind, but the vision as well...

I had posters respond that Biden kept the same sanctions against Russia that Trump had. My research showed Biden did not enforce the sanctions.

Biden did the same thing with securing the border. He also had Harris and Mayorkas say the border was completely secured. After Florida and Texas bussed a small fraction to Blue Cities, their complaints finally prompted whoever was running the Biden Administration to enact Trump's executive orders.

Looking back, Obama did a similar thing, but then deported many with a judicial hearing. Even more ludicrous was Bush's fence bill, which Congress passed to show it was on top of the issue.

The more I post here, the more I shout THANK GOD FOR TRUMP! And yes, I still think he needs to be more Presidential.
