Nate Silver has a sad:

[demmiblue]

It really amazing how many Libs can't even permit Trump to have *one good day* (nobody will remember this stuff by Tuesday) after US forces kill perhaps the world's most wanted terrorist.

1. So He Thinks Just Libs Go To World Series Games?

[NewJeffCT]

7. I've been a baseball fan for most of my life

and, I thought baseball fandom typically skewed a bit more conservative/Republican than the population as a whole?

[klook]

19. The cross-section of fans who can afford to pay for WS tickets

most definitely skews rightward... all the more reason last night’s Swamp Cheer was especially gratifying.

[Greybnk48]

22. So much for Nate Silver's logic prowess. N/t

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. Oh dear.... Let me just tune up....

[jcgoldie]

3. Awwwee

So sowwy Trumpie can't get one widdle good day to spew lies and bullshit. WTF Nate.

[renate]

4. Wow, Nate. "Libs"?

I would like to play poker with Nate. I’m terrible at it, but if his tells are anywhere near this obvious, I’d have a chance.

[SterlingPound]

5. And honestly this kind of BS

is why I unsubscribed to the 538 Podcast a while ago.

[MontanaMama]

6. The MF doesn't deserve even one

good day Nate. You can fuck right off...now you’re on my list.

[BigMin28]

11. I'm with you MontanaMama

8. And I beg to differ, world's most wanted terrorist? I bet over 90% of Americans didn't even...

know the terrorist's name nor what he did...this is a case of a story trying to find a headline (or something like that). rump is desperate. The booing at the stadium was great...both rump and his brown-nosed lackeys heard the crowd loud and clear, with no mistaken the crowd's message what-so-ever. I hope the smart republicans (I know, I know, you don't use the word 'smart' in the same sentence with the word 'republican') realize w/o putting their heads in the sand like they have been doing the doom they are facing in 2020 and 2022.

[Celerity]

34. I would say he was (if you simply say 'the head of Isis') the 2nd most wanted, after Ayman al-Zawahi

Most Americans would know the term 'head of ISIS'. if not his exact name, Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Ayman al-Zawahi is so well known from 9-11, as he was bin Laden's right hand man, and has been in charge of Al-Qaeda ever since bin-Laden was killed.

The 3rd most famous, 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, (you could make a case his name is far more well known than either) has been in US custody since March, 2003.

al-Zawahiri is still alive and kicking (an looking quite aged, he is 68yo now)

[yellowcanine]

9. Sorry Nate. Baseball fans tend not to like gloating. Maybe that is what some were booing.

[NewJeffCT]

10. Nate - that was a good day for Trump

If it was a bad day, the crowd would have been there with torches and pitchforks

[maxsolomon]

12. Yeah, the Asshole insulted DOGS.

He's never owned a dog, so he doesn't know jack about them.

40% of Americans own a dog, and there are 90 million dogs in this country. You might not want to equate terrorists with beloved family members.

[Blue_Tires]

13. I've been letting Nate have it

but I'm glad to see all the pundits clutching pearls and wringing hands... It's only going to keep the clips of Donnie getting booed in the news cycle longer.

[Anon-C]

14. "Libs" huh?

Cool story, bro!

[Hortensis]

15. Nate's smearing liberals for a man who torments children.

Silver should examine the children Trump took away from their parents and is holding in inhumane prisons to see how their day went. Or maybe visit even one of the families who live in constant fear of his attempts to deport them because their very ill child will die if that happens.

[Garrett78]

16. Nate Silver has lost his fucking mind.

[brush]

17. Nate Silver actually tweeted that, like trump actually knew this whole operation was in play?

Totally disappointed in Silver. If trump knew this plan was in play would he have pulled troops out of Syria and abandon the Kurks?

IMO he had no idea what was up. His pullout meant the timing of the raid had to be moved up before we lost the operational capacity to do it—meaning having enough men an equipment to do it because trump was ordering his pullout and abandonment of the Kurds.

The Kurds, btw, still helped with the raid with intel even though trump had already signalled his betrayal of them.

For these reasons I doubt trump knew. He just the beneficiary of it being successful and is now taking victory laps, as if he was in on it.

[Garrett78]

29. And if Trump wants adoration, he better stick to his controlled rallies.

Because anytime he makes a public appearance at a sporting event or is visiting a major city (be it in Europe or the US), he's going to get a taste of how the majority feels about his lying, racist, misogynistic, criminal ass.

The real story here is that the operation was done when and how it was done because Trump made matters more difficult.

[DeminPennswoods]

40. Heard a report yesterday that Trump was kept only slightly more

in the loop than the Dems Trump refused to notify in advance.

[Jarqui]

18. How many good days has Trump permitted Libs to have?

Off the top of my head to start:

Locking kids up in cages?
Cutting EPA regs?
Ignoring climate change?
Trying to take away their healthcare?
Demonizing Latinos?
Supporting White Supremacists?
Grabbing women by the pussy and bragging about it?
270+ contacts with the Russians by his campaign?
Refusing all requests for documents and testimony for oversight?
Disparaging a Gold Star family?
Approaching 14,000 false and/or misleading statements according to the Washington Post?
Criticizing McCain after he was dead and as a prisoner of war?
etc
etc
etc

[Loki Liesmith]

20. He's right though

No need to shit all over killing a guy who has needed to get dead for a long time as a) it was inevitable Trump would self destruct over it anyway and b) no one really cares about Al Baghdadi.

[SunSeeker]

42. No, he's not right. No one is "shitting all over" Baghdadi's death. They're calling out Trump lies.

Like how Trump took credit for a mission that succeeded in spite of Trump making it much more difficult. Per our intel folks, his chaotic, abrupt Syria pullout almost doomed the long-planned mission. https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1016&pid=241648,,

21. Well, now we know who is a 2019 Douchebag of the Year contender!

[TeamPooka]

23. Nate Silver can go fuck himself

[demmiblue]

24. BTW, here is who he is responding to:

The Man Behind @ComfortablySmug, Hurricane Sandy's Worst Twitter Villain

He's a former hedge fund analyst, Republican political consultant, and deliberate spreader of false information.

During the storm last night, user @comfortablysmug was the source of a load of frightening but false information about conditions in New York City that spread wildly on Twitter and onto news broadcasts before Con Ed, the MTA, and Wall Street sources had to take time out of the crisis situation to refute them.

What leads a person to do such a thing, which his critics have likened to shouting “fire” in a crowded movie theater? It’s unclear. But perhaps it has something to do with the nature of anonymity. If there are no consequences for posting false “BREAKING” news, there’s an incentive to do it to accumulate a large audience.

What @comfortablysmug didn’t count on, apparently, was losing that anonymity. Based on photos he censored and posted to the account but I found unedited elsewhere, @comfortablysmug is Shashank Tripathi the campaign manager of Christopher R. Wight, this year’s Republican candidate for the U.S. House from New York’s 12th Congressional District.

FEC documents show Wight has paid Tripathi thousands of dollars this election cycle as a “consultant.” @comfortablysmug has been a vocal supporter of Mitt Romney and posted tweets suggesting he attended this year's Republican convention. He's listed here by a local Republican group coordinating volunteers for a Romney phone bank. He's 29 years old.

For years, he’s been a prolific commenter at NYmag.com and a popular conservative presence on Twitter. In 2008, he penned an entry for the site’s popular sex diary feature that “detailed a week of obsession, rough sex, and Ambien.”

A year later, they interviewed him. Tripathi, appearing with the same censored face that shows up in Twitter photos, said he was “not as blatantly an asshole in person” but still has “asshole tendencies.” He credits Adderall with his skill at writing so many provocative comments.

[Takket]

25. How I feel about this...

If a rat infesting my home eats a cockroach infesting my home, I am not going to mourn the cockroach, but I’m still going to kill the rat.

[Hortensis]

26. Wish I could lock Nate in a warehouse with tormented

children or transport him to a refugee camp in Iraq with nothing but what's in his pockets, and not knowing where his children were or if they were all right.

That'd straighten out his head.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Fat Nixon doesn't deserve one good day.

Every single day he does something terrible that harms someone else. He doesn't deserve shit. He had nothing to do with the Baghdadi raid, and in fact by suddenly withdrawing from Syria nearly ruined the careful plans that the military forces who actually did it had been working on for months.

Fuck him, and fuck Nate Silver too for such a dumb comment.

[SallyHemmings]

28. The country hasn't had a good day since the criminal stole the election.

GO STRAIGHT TO HELL SILVER!!!!!!

[uponit7771]

30. Like the fuckin kids that were kidnapped via Trumps NO EXCEPTION policy!?!? Come on man !!!

[Mike Nelson]

31. Ugh...

... Nate Silver commenting on "Libs" has put himself in the "Cons" group. And, con-men can't be pollsters. Nate needs to go to Trump University and find another career.

[DeminPennswoods]

41. Silver's not a pollster. He's a stats geek

who got his start with Bill James' (the father of fantasy baseball analytics) baseball stats. He's a big baseball fan and also a Republican.

[NurseJackie]

32. Kiss my ass, Nate!

"LIBS" ?? GMAFB!

[MaryMagdaline]

33. How many good days have the kids in cages had?

[Politicub]

35. If it were up to me, Trump would not have one good second.

Do children locked in cages have one good day?

Screw Nate Silver and stay out of our way.

[stopbush]

36. No. The problem is that the media treats tRump having one good day

as a total exoneration for all the fucked up shit he’s done for not only the past three years but his entire life. THAT is the problem, Nate.

[Lunch Lady]

37. Ever since Nates decided to try and be a pundit and not a just data guy, he's been off base.

Sports reference intentional.

[Progressive dog]

38. That hateful psychopath Trump still has followers.

Let them give him one good day. Don't expect normal people to be complicit in further inflating that narcissistic criminal's ego.

[SunSeeker]

39. "Libs"??? When did Nate go full Limbaugh?

[DeminPennswoods]

43. The special ops team that carried out the raid was lauded all

day yesterday. Trump had nothing to do with the planning of the operation except to approve it when it was nearly ready to go. There's no credit to be given to him.

[Silent3]

44. If Trump hadn't praised himself more than enough already, gloated in the most sickening ways...

...taken the lion's share of the credit for the operation himself, staged a transparently fake situation room photo, violated still yet another civilized norm of good government by not informing the House first, and hadn't first wreaked havoc on the situation in the region right before this, then maybe, just maybe, I'd be slightly inclined to give him a small tip of the hat for finally getting something right.

But with than many failed "ifs" going, fuck him.

[sakabatou]

45. GTFO, Nate

[manhattan123]

46. I keep hearing pundits say...

..of course he got booed. DC voted 96-4 against him.

Except I'm guessing the folks who can afford to go to a World Series game aren't necessarily civil servants from DC.
