Nice Rasta

But it would still be ok to denounce the threats though huh?

Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return," the company’s statement read.

Because The threat had nothing to do with Sinclair cancelling it. It’s an ownership decision most likely based on what their viewers are telling them. See what I did there? I used your strategy

My thoughts on the Greco premier weights. 130 kg: This is Mirz's reign. None of these other 130 kgs are good enough to stop him. If chunky Semenov is the best of the rest in the foreseeable future, then Mirz is the biggest favorite for gold at all the weight classes and the next olympics. I know that 20 something year old who beat Riza is getting hyped, but my eye test does not see him as the next great wrestler and I think Mirz will keep him off teams. 97 kg: Saravi backed up his Olympics with a wold title. I don' think he'll sweep the cycle. I think either someone will emerges or he'll take losses to people he's beaten. Russia's Sargsyan is so undersized, I suppose it's just a testament to Russia's weakness that it's the best they have at 97. Artur keeps finding silly ways of losing. I'm not sure if it's age or he's fried mentally. He's one of the worst at taking losses for sure. 87 kg. Almost 10 wrestlers of roughly the same ability are musical chairsing the titles between themselves. It was Komarov's turn this time. I think Bisultanov is the most talented of the bunch (in that sense he is the spiritual successor of Zhan) but he has a choking gene and I don't see anyone taking over this weight. 77kg: This weight always has parity and extremely close matches. Taking your chances is paramount. Nao did. Akzhol did not. It's a shame since lb for lb I think Akzhol might be the best wrestler without an Olympic gold. He may never get one. 67 kg: This weight has a lot of turnover at the top. Iran has the current champion. Orta is still around but he may be in the Tokyo-Borrero phase of his career. 60 kg: No big names in this weight class. Fumita is not active. Emelin is messing around and losing at 63 kg. No one new has established themselves.

Sunset picnic with no hurricanes in sight…

Who? The FCC? FCC does not make profit or losses. ABC/Disney made a business decision to de-escalate the situation to avoid backlash from affiliates. Then they made another about how to get through Kimmel’s contract and sponsor’s advertising buys that have already been committed. No first amendment issues involved.

My guess is Raney will outgrow the weight and spend the next half decade falling technically behind all the people he would be competing against. 60kg to 67kg will be much deeper. 87 kg has about 7 wrestlers who are around the same level that can win gold, and Jacobson is a tier or two below them all. I don't think 87 kg is promising for upset potential. I think Bey is the only one who is close to medalist level. The rest can't do it or would need a freak Coon esque draw.

Drove to Chicago this weekend to take my son to Shedd and the Chicago Children’s Museum… we also hit up the Illinois Beach State Park Super impressed with the children’s museum… This summer we’ve been to roughly 10 of them across the nation and it is probably the second best one (second to Indianapolis)

I wanted Pat Downey vs David Taylor no techs but I'll settle for Varner smashing him to pieces in a virtual match because there is literally no way in the world PD3 shows up. I hope @Husker_Du put some strong clauses in the contract regarding fulfilling 100% of appearance obligations, namely he gets 10% prior to the finish of the match at highest and if it ends in an atypical fashion such as injury default that he gets minmal. You can refer to the Jose Canseco boxing match a couple years ago if there are any AWLs in the audience.

There's video of rv taking a $500 rock bribe.

Is it true the book is titled: Kamala Salad.

Ok that makes sense ... smart move.

She’s already selling books before she retires lol of the yalls who bashed Fox for lying this week. How many of the lefties here will say msnbc and Rachel maddow sure are shading the truth. I’ll bet 0 of y’all will

I can't speak on WA, but in Indiana our gas tax is at 54.5 cents per gallon. We have a base tax of 34 cents and then a monthly adjusted tax that is based on the average price of fuel. That puts us at roughly 5th highest in the US for tax. With that, our transportation department (and state) will be facing a shortfall... Last time I checked, it's something like a 2.5 billion shortfall next year as a state and two years ago INDOT was projecting a billion shortfall over 10 years. As part of our state leadership tax plan that was passed this year, the state cut taxes, but all it really did was shift the burden from the state level to the county level. So while property taxes were cut, the max county income tax rate was increased and cities/towns can now have an income tax rate. To participate in state grant programs, counties now have to add additional taxes (ex, a wheel tax has to be implemented if you want to be able to receive road/bridge grants from the state). The state government in Indiana loves to brag about low taxes and push everything down to the local level so they don't get blamed for it. For local governments in Indiana

Rachel Maddow dropping her head was quickly clipped. It probably hit the desk.

No one said that. If the threats are consumers threatening to cancel their Disney+ or Hulu subscriptions either because they don't like Kimmel's show or don't like ABC not airing his show that is perfectly fine. The FCC threatening enforcement like Carr did is inappropriate. Threatening violence because a broadcaster cancelled a show is wrong. It's odd because Sinclair didn't give any reason for not airing the Kirk special until earlier today. I wonder what threat(s) were received and from whom.

When the commit crimes. Will help with filing extra charges for being terrorists

From what I gather reading the tea leaves. Lightly, they'd take his commitment but aren't pushing too hard. Nebraska and VT are both pushing hard.

I could listen to Trump trying to pronounce acetaminophen all night on loop. Funnier than any comedian. https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/trump-fda-advises-use-of-acetaminophen-during-pregnancy-increases-chance-of-autism-248106053641 And look out for that pregnercy.

Reports are that he took the 50 big ones so he would get “severanced” to have time to write the book.
