| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | Is the Ukraine conflict still going on? Scott Adams his quit reporting on it because there is so much false information coming out of both sides that nobody knows what's going on. My sister-in-law follows a fellow Christian who lives in Kiev who makes a Facebook post every day and her life is pretty much normal. TV works, electric never went off, there's food in the grocery stores. Of course they're terribly afraid and under constant stress about the war but her actual day-to-day life haven't changed all that much. The biggest problem is everywhere they go at every intersection there is a Ukraine army checkpoint you have to show your papers. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | Scott Adams was bragging today that he correctly predicted even before Putin invaded Ukraine that they would never take Kiev because Putin would greatly underestimate the power and precision of modern weaponry such as the switchblade drone. And he was correct the troops around Kiev are completely gone now. I remember when he said this, he's always making predictions he's very good at it. He's wrong sometimes but he's right far more often. He said somebody who's good at predictions, is Donald Trump. When Scott Adams visited the White House in 2018 Trump asked him who was going to be the Democratic candidate in 2020 and Scott Adams said Kamala Harris. Trump said nope, it's got to be Joe Biden. And in 2018 Joe Biden was at the bottom of everybody's list, he was a bumbling hair sniffing senile goofball in the eyes of the press. But somehow Trump predicted he was going to be the candidate.

At least he made a decent calculation predicting 1 of 3 old men might die of covid before 2020 was over. Afraid it wasn't a good enough guess. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

It's what people call Nostradamous Syndrom, if somebody spends hours a day on the radio making predictions, a handful of them will come true, and they and their supporters will cite their genius. But, their majority fails get swept under the rug. It's a tale as old as time, and yet people still fall for it.... |

Yup. And Donny was afraid of a Biden candidacy. He knew Biden would beat him. Hence his “perfect” phone call in July 2019. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

He does pick stocks he's heavily invested in the stock market. A lot of his predictions are wrong but a lot of them are uncannily right. He predicted Trump winning when everybody was laughing at him. And he stuck with it until the election. He predicted that Putin would not invade Ukraine but he was the first one to admit he was wrong. I like him because he's a bona fide genius and he's willing to go out on a limb and say things that he might be one hundred percent wrong about. How many people do that. CNN still will not admit they were wrong about all those hoaxes they perpetrated about Trump. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Nothing to fall for, he lays it all on the table and is always the first one to admit when he was wrong about something. Unlike anybody in the left-wing media. They are always right and when they're one hundred percent wrong like with all the Trump hoaxes they never admit it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
