Didn't bother to check what you were talking about - Napoleon xx

 

[George]

Yeah Napoleon was just a really bad film. Joaquin Phoenix was miscast imo. It just didn't work. The whole thing was a self indulgent snooze fest.

Apparently it was more about his relationships than his actual legacy. Directors are too cute these days, just address what everyone came to watch. Nobody cares about the fluff.

Cheers brethren I fight at Middleweight (75 KG) but I walk around at 85 ish.

Camp is usually 12 weeks give or take a week. I spar 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and hit the bag every day (sometimes 12x3 min rounds, sometimes 15) followed by 20mins in the infrared sauna. Weight train 4 days a week. I've overtrained in the past (doing all this but 6 days a week weight training instead of 4) so I've cut it back a bit. Also 34 this year so shit gets harder

I do that for a solid 8 weeks, and then begin to focus just on boxing for the final few weeks, with the last week being about any final weight cutting and trying to keep myself fueled properly. Weight cutting usually isn't a problem for me, once the metabolism starts firing I can easy lose a kilo a week (usually need to lose about 10kg in a camp).

I'm a bit of a weirdo when it comes to diet. I eat clean but I only have one large meal a day (usually dinner) and have been doing that for 7 years now without any issues. My week consists of a mixture of Salmon, Chicken, Turkey, greens and brown rice. Red meat once a fortnight. I don't seem to function properly if I eat standard 3 meals a day, and having heaps of smaller meals isn't my thing either.

If anything the whole process does wonders for the discipline

Oh and physio once a week, got lower back issues and still chugging along with the torn MCL

That's we she freaks me out, she was so good in that role, I can't see her in anything else.
What a strange movie, Pike being absolutely psycho and Tyler Perry actually being in a good part.

Anyway you sad Kent's, what's it like being a slave to the man?

Lol boomer retirement is paradise. By the time you X'ers, Y'ers and other sad arsed gens get there, their will be no govt handouts (like we all get), no money as you couldn't buy a house, your super is crashed due to the war with China, and the boomer parents spent the inheritance, and the environment you live in is a Venusian hellscape.

Enjoy your work day, I am watching the cricket and cleaning out the pantry [emoji28]

If watching the cricket is living the dream, you're already on the way to "mental" retirement.

 

[gringo2011]

They need someone who will look after the working class. That's where the problem lies.

They need to reverse the money going to the top. The middle class is shrinking as well as a working class with less work. Billionaires have sent the money to the top and refuse to pay tax. It's not a sustainable model. Government thinks that they operate for the benefit of the rich and corporations. In the early 20th century people fought back, won rights and it's slowly eroded away again. They need a massive reset of their economy and government model. They distract people pointing at immigrants and culture wars shit.

Easily combatted.

Step one, enter your circle of acquaintances. You won’t know who I am, but I know you.
You will be charmed by me, as will your wife and family.
You will learn to trust me, lean on me even.
I’ll become like some sort of personal oracle to you and yours.

When the time is right, you will have an unfortunate accident. A final accident if you will.
This is no amateur hour mushroom fiasco, this is an intricately orchestrated series of events that will raise zero suspicion.
Patience is my strength, the long game will be played, I am in no rush.

After said accident, your family will naturally look to me for guidance, for sympathy, for support - which I will of course happily provide.

This is where the fun begins.
Emotional manipulation will have lead us to a point where I have now have full control.
Titles will be changed into my company names, financials “taken care of”, decisions abdicated. What was once Joffa’s is now wholly Dard’s.
The great part of all of this is you are not the first nor will you be the last.

I am a vampire on the soft, unsuspecting necks of the boomer populace.
Too oblivious and lacking in emotional intelligence, legal and technological nous to know they are the host of my devious parasitic ways.

Welcome to trickle down Dardonomics.

That’s how primaries work though.

No doubt Trump wins the nomination and I’d be surprised if he lost the election - Biden is running dead almost literally.

Anyone who says they know how this plays out is (to quote John Clarke) a fool to himself and a burden to others.
(Not having a go at you).
There are just too many factors at play.
Here’s some more interesting information about Iowa.

It is rural, white and evangelical.
Perfect Trump territory.
Not very representative of the States though.

But:

Trump won 98 of the 99 counties, Haley got the spare.
Even so, he underperformed in this caucus vs his 2020 vote against Biden.
Nearly 50% of Republicans didn’t vote for him, when he is running as the “incumbent”. (Not having lost the 2020 election, according to him).
Which is a terrible result for an “incumbent”.
Des Moines Register Poll that predicted the caucus outcome also has 11% of Republicans voting for Biden over Trump in the general, 25% voting for neither in the general.
Half the number of votes were cast in this caucus versus the prior competitive caucus of 2016.

And, another poll of Pennsylvania Republicans aged over 65 had Biden at 60%, Trump at 40%

The point I’m making is: the current media coverage is not reflective of the total electorate, simply focusing on the shiny object that is Trump.

It is most likely that Trump will win the Republican nomination, it’s another thing entirely to assume/guess/gut feel that he would win the presidency.

No one knows that.

Oh, one more thing: Trump thanked Iowa for allowing him to win a caucus for the third time.

One problem: he hadn’t. Cruz beat him in 2016 (and he claimed that caucus was rigged).

Nothing changes….

Your analysis is probably correct, but personally I don’t know enough about us politics to assess it. My only guess is that given a choice between a polarising high profile guy and an embarrassing president, the polarising high profile guy will be the one people actually turn out to vote for.
