No indeed not. Trump has run three times and has never reached 50% of the vote. His popularity is far lower now than on his last election night, and you think 80% of the people agree with him?

---

Yet, favorability ratings for Democrats are still in the shitter and aren't rising.

Trump's low popularity doesn't really matter when the average American continues to dislike the Democrats more.

AI slop. No news host is going to say "February 2026" when we're in February 2026.

Piers looks about 10-15 years younger there, too.:lol:

Plus, isn't he still recovering from a fractured leg or pelvis?

This AI trash needs to start getting whacked if the OP can't recognize it.

The world has a chance to do the right thing and completely ignore this fight.

It's scheduled the same night as the LSU-Ole Miss game, so a lot of college football fans might forget about it.

And February races in Georgia.
Just went outside and it’s cold af! lol.

Lawn chairs just blew down the hill.

---

My dad and I were legit talking about this last night.

When I went down there for the February race weekend a couple of years ago, it was in the 50s, but the wind made it miserable.:lol:

But if you were from central downtown, the north burbs, northwest, or west like the vast majority of fans going to games then moving the game to Indiana is a bigger pita to get to.

---

Mmkay. It wouldn't be a pain for people downtown.

And getting to games in Arlington Heights would be a major pain for everybody else in the southwest and south. Soldier Field is technically the south side anyway.

I don't know why you're committed to believing the "vast majority" of fans live up north. That hasn't been true since the Cardinals were on the south side.

...but the Bears aren't going anywhere. This is all for leverage.

---

The "leverage" train left a long time ago.:lol:

The Bears have been desperately trying to leave Soldier Field for 50 years and have been waiting to break ground at the Arlington Heights site for 5 years, but to no avail. They've legitimately run out of patience.

The Hammond/Wolf Lake area is not only closer to Soldier Field than Arlington Heights, the Hegewisch neighborhood next to Wolf Lake is part of Chicago proper.

They'll still be the Chicago Bears, get everything they want, and don't have to deal with Illinois politics. They'd be stupid not to leave at this point.

quote:

---

Because they wanted the taxpayers to foot the bill for their stadium at the state and local level?

---

This mouthbreathing ignorance needs to stop.:lol:

Again, the Bears already committed to pay for the stadium. As has been pointed out repeatedly, they just want infrastructure assurances and tax certainty, just like any business would in any state. The Bears can't build roads by themselves.

The state of Illinois already has some of the highest taxes in the country. The sudden pearl-clutching about "taxpayers footing the bill" now is nothing but political posturing to deflect accountability for why the Bears would leave.

quote:

---

Or it'll be better like the Braves games are now?

---

I think it'll be better. Wolf Lake literally straddles the state border. It's no further from Soldier Field than the Arlington Heights site would be.

You can't really blame the Bears here. Why keep waiting for the girl next door to pay attention to you when another chick down the street actually wants you?

I agree with the parents… how can you politically commentate still living under your parents roof at 20 years old… first step to you persevering the nation is getting your own place

---

Unemployment in the UK just hit its highest rate since Covid, and young adults having to live with their parents is unfortunately a common theme among Western nations whose policies have skyrocketed the cost of living.

This 20 year old, and countless others like him, recognize how much the government has fricked their generation, and his parents are partially to blame. In a free nation, he should be able to call that out, regardless of where he lives.

In most states, the governor can impeach a mayor (New York is one of them). That's not going to happen.

---

We'll see. As crazy as Democrats are, many still understand that going too radical too quickly isn't a winning strategy.

That's why they forced Biden's candidacy instead of riding with Bernie. It's why Bill Maher basically pleads for the far-left element to be expelled from the party on a weekly basis.

If NYC falls into an accelerated doom spiral with this retard as mayor, the party may force her to step in to save face.

Meh, I'm kind of over football by this time of year. I actually dislike that both college and NFL extend as long as they do these days.

For me, there's nothing better than stepping back into an MLB ballpark every Spring to smell the scent of grilled onions, hot dogs, and beer permeating through the concourse, even if the White Sox suck again.
