do you think Erfan can challenge Azarpira soon?

I am hoping its Shamispour at 79 as a wrestling fan. As someone who wants america to do really well I hope he is not there though.

Will he pardon Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for her false testimony to bail him out of his Epstein mess?

You’re being needlessly obtuse. Do you think I’m trying to provide an excuse for her? I’m not. Bill Clinton spearheaded the Democratic turn right on economics that led to a steady 30 year-long decline in performance amongst working class, populist voters that used to vote Dem pretty reliably. Trump’s victory was the culmination of that process and a complete rebuke to the neoliberal wing of the Democratic Party. Sanders’ success in the primary among that same demographic was an early warning sign of what was happening.

I'll just let Trump Jr explain.

Like usual, you don’t follow links and shoot from the hip.

No.

I really like the idea of giving non-revenue sports better funding, but does the EO have any teeth? Congress needs to pass legislation and codify a national NIL/revenue sharing framework. Getting a definitive answer from the NLRB on whether student athletes should be classified by employees, regardless on where you stand on the issue, is also a pretty good way to light a fire under Congress and get something passed.

Same if it was a gun purchase gone bad.

Aw man, I miss ILLINIWrestlingBlog. Jombo would be all over this.

I know he just went through a major medical issue. But immediately put his stamp on a scam. He, seemingly, got paid so those he influences could be grifted. How should the wrestling/MMA world react to this if true? Cuz based on the support from big names in MMA it doesn’t seem like he was hurting for money/support. But should he be given grace if he WAS struggling for money, post surgery?

Wow! Have all the Sun Belt schools opted-in to revenue sharing? ESPN was saying that Fresno State would have to break up the mandatory athletic fee, which I assume is something they already do for internal accounting purposes, and eliminate or reallocate the line items that go towards D1 sports. Sounds like it'll be a pretty big hit to those schools either way, though if the legislation passes. There used to be an 80/20 deduction rule where ticket buyers could deduct 80% of the "athletic contribution fees" on their taxes, but that went away under the first Trump administration. I think the only way they can still be tax-deductible is if there's no direct benefit to the buyer (i.e., doesn't give you priority access to preferential seating). I guess the upside, if it can even be called that, of the mandatory fees at massive D1 schools is that in theory the cost should be diluted across 50k+ or whatever students, but I get the feeling that it just furthers the Big Football/Big Basketball arms race and causes programs to spend more.

ive seen nothing that says it was drug related besides rumors, but you really think if it was that either of the parties involved are going to voluntarily say that it was?? why would Sammy admit it? and why would the thug who shot him admit that? to add more charges for no reason? he wasnt caught right away.

If its true? Ha ha. That would be a problem with both Joe and Hunter. More so Joe because he was supposed to know better. I'm calling hyperbole on your Trump statement. I'm not saying he's not corrupt, but to be 1000x more corrupt than Biden is saying Biden was not corrupt. He didn't even know who was using the autopen. https://nypost.com/2025/01/18/us-news/president-biden-insisted-he-didnt-sign-executive-order-just-weeks-after-doing-so-speaker-mike-johnson/ Biden insisted he didn’t sign executive order just weeks after doing so, Speaker Johnson reveals mspart

Something that Ds seem unable to understand is that we the people pay all the taxes. Put a tax on a business, the people that by that product pay that tax. It is not just that the people pay for tariffs, it is that they pay for all taxes. So when a D says he wants some business to pay their fair share, that is a tax increase on those that by that product. Period. mspart

Bush affected Obama's first election. I don't see how Bush or Clinton affected Hillarys election loss. That was all on her. mspart

Meme coins. Are they physical or only reside in the digital realm. Either way, agree with RV, I don't understand why people would purchase these things. mspart

Of course she was a horrible candidate. Those things aren't mutually exclusive. She shares the same political vision as her husband and ran on that vision. She was the archetypal corporate democrat. Obama succeeded because he ran against it in 2008 (go back and watch how viciously he attacked her in the primary) and then was a uniquely charismatic figure that was able to hold his coalition together via his own personality. It helped that he only had to clear the Bush admin bar of not starting another global financial meltdown or disastrous war. Him selling out the vision he sold was another major blow to the old democrat coalition. People forget that Obama won a state like Indiana. Unthinkable now for any democrat.

You are on these boards 24 x 7 and you don't know he was car jacked?

“the love of money is the root of all evil”

Buy enough meme coins and Trump will give you way more than that. Courtesy of taxpayers.

No one in the forum is a better wordsmith than this guy.

Where did that $ go that went to the big guy and how much did Hunter get to keep?

Tariffs getting passed on. Yup, it's bidens fault. Lmao.

If it's true, that's a problem with Joe, not Hunter. There's 1,000x more corruption with Trump than there was w Biden. It's right put in the open. That's a problem w Trump, not the thousands of people that go along with it.
