Hopefully Trump will have a rally somewhere else than Georgia the day before the runoff, just like he did on Jan 6th.

Inflation, low approval ratings for Biden, the economy, inflation, crime, immigration and illegal border crossings, inflation, abortion, and the American people didn't flinch. Except for that bozo in Georgia most Trump endorsed candidates lost. 

By all means, keep supporting Trump, it's working out pretty well, huh? He lost the WH, Senate, and House in 2020. Like I said in another thread, hopefully he'll have a presidental election rally somewhere else the day before the potential runoff in Georgia. He screwed them once to lose the Senate, no reason to think he won't do it again.

Maybe you all can finally put Trump out to pasture. He can then make a TV comeback as host, with Dr. Oz as his sidekick, in the return of The Biggest Loser on NBC.

I am curious Rich, if you are able to acknowledge that as a matter of mathematics, the odds in your example above are in fact 1 to 9 odds.

By definition:  odds = the ratio of the probability of something happening to the probability of that something not happening. (citation in earlier post).

* probability of picking winning ticket, one try, your example = 1/10 = 0.1
* probability of not picking winning ticket = 9/10 = 0.9 (expanded form is :  ((1 - 0.1) = 0.9)
* odds by definition = 0.1/0.9 (citation in earlier post)
* expanded form, as James pointed out, odds = 0.1/(1-0.1) = 0.1/0.9
* odds therefore are by mathematical definition 1/9, most correctly pronounced as "odds of 1 to 9"  

Go ahead and literally make my day.  Acknowledge that as a matter of mathematics, the odds in your example above are in fact 1 to 9 odds.

Fetterman, 53, told his parents they wouldn't need to make him dinner on January 3 because he will be in Washington, D.C. trying to make his dream come true for every American.

The senator-elect, who famously served as the mayor of Braddock, PA from his parent's basement, has said that he's excited to finally leave the nest. "I asked and they won't move to D.C.," said Fetterman. "I want pancakes."

Our favorite righty ranter and outrage machine Dodgeball Davis has only been back on the politics forum, at least as far as I can see when I do a search, since 7/13/21 and has 3508 posts totaling 117 pages when looking at his profile. I'm sure there were thousands of posts that were deleted when he was banned (really don't know why he was reinstated as none of the others Herb ever banished over the years have ever returned). Needless to say old Dodgeball has been doing it for years and just stops responding to a thread when he is called out, ridiculed, or caught in a lie.

Can we all just dispense with the formalities and just call him Karen.

Heck, I even found an emoji of him since he loves emojis so much.
