The problem with politicians is both parties are full of crooks. And both parties ignore their crooks and yammer on about the other sides crooks. Then they rinse repeats this process every n years when the parties come in and out of power. That goes for the fans of the parties like you see on this board. I forgot who said it. And tbh it doesn’t matter but one argument on this board was trying to measure how bad person As comment was vs Bs comment. This is a function of what I described above as if you can articulate my bad comment was slightly less bad than your bad comment then you can start to look the other regarding your party and continue to yammer on about how bad the other party is. term limits please. More term limits. Congress is trash. Local government is more corrupt and worse somehow.

I think asking these two to do that might crater their collective brain power for the next few days, maybe the week.

To echo others, center control is valued above all else. Also, there are certain rough time markers in bouts where someone will be called for passivity, no matter what, if scoring isn't happening. Then it's simply, " who's controlling the center less?"

lock him up. pretty simple.

Freestyle values different things. Carr was the aggressor as far as trying to create offense (at least to us folkstyle fans), but his back isn't to the center and he didn't finish the shots so it doesn't count to the refs.

One thing I have always been consistent on is that if someone, no matter what letter they have after their name, broke the law in any way they should be held accountable. This holds true for Homan, if the allegations are found to be true. And honestly, I don't know too much about his specific case.

I think the bribe went to the big guy

Nolf made it seem so on Flo

Willie just said Bo is visiting VaTech soon and he thinks he will make his announcement very soon, probably in October

Is Penn State actually recruiting Bassett?

True but still. Because Kent State opted in to the new law that means a couple dozen of the current kids on the roster will be cut! Ouch! Just when you think your spot is safe!

I respect your opinion, it is a bit hard to compare for me because of Bo's attempts at senior level tournaments where Melvin has not. Melvin's best win is nothing compared to Bo. Melvin's best opponent is PJ Duke and wrestled him tough.

The Las Vegas shooter had made some statements supporting and apparently held some sovereign citizen type views. I definitely wouldn't call SovCits left wing at all.

Can one of our conservatives defend Homan's actions - accepting a bribe on tape - or are you going to deflect? Isn't Trump supposed to be draining the swamp? This looks pretty swampy. @JimmySpeaks @Bigbrog @Scouts Honor @Caveira

If they can get Downey back at 157 and Thomsen at 165, that's a good team.

I agree with you. KOT is a maybe, and JB is also a maybe. The last time JB wrestled the Iranian who ended up taking bronze, he lost at the 2024 Worlds. And while Usmanov won in 2023, JB didn’t even make the team that year - father time is undefeated. As for Dake, he’s an unknown to me as well. Too many of his matches are uncomfortably close for me to call him a clear upgrade.

This particular conversation started in response to Keith Olbermann. He was speaking to Robinson’s possible motive, and was not justifying the killing. In fact he didn’t even get into any detail about what Kirk said. Then @Caveira came in and asked “yeah but how was he a threat???” You can’t ask a question then when someone answers it claim they’re justifying murder.

The whole point is, you are coming off as the person who says, "Yeah his death was bad and it shouldn't have happened, BUT......" There is no "but..."!! Period! If you disagree with that then I am not sure how anyone wouldn't think you are trying to soften his assassination or have the thought that somehow Charlie deserved it. As for you and I debating the things he has said and how they can be interpreted, I'd love to have that civil conversation outside the context of Charlie being assassinated.

Lol. In your first paragraph you complain about not providing examples, but then in the second you prove my point that you’ll just try to turn it around and claim I’m justifying his death. You’re also being disingenuous by saying Kirk “didn’t want to hurt anyone.” I never said he did. He clearly always advocated against violence. But he said a lot of things people didn’t like that could have caused people not to like him. AGAIN, THAT DOESN’T MEAN HE DESERVED TO BE KILLED FOR IT. If you agree to not claim I’m justifying his murder, I will provide some examples of some of the things he said about trans folks.

Who is suppressing free speech in terms of the protection the first amendment provides??

Ummm...you are the one claiming what Charlie said was "against" trans folks and gay marriage, yet you don't want to explain specifically what was said and in the total context of the conversations he was having at the time. I personally didn't agree with everything he said (college is a scam, the things he said about Muslims, etc.), but Charlie did not hate anyone, he did not try and oppress anyone, and he was definitely NOT a racist. All one has to do is to truly listen to what he is saying in the full context of what he is talking about to know those things...again, doesn't mean you have to agree with what he said, but you can't make things up that he said or didn't say just because you don't agree. Until you can show ANYWHERE where Charlie wanted to hurt someone you definitely will continue to come off as appearing to try and soften the fact that he was assassinated for having an opinion and openly talking to people about it.

Very exciting. Hope he can create something down there

I'm pretty sure no matter how many times you post the same thing over and over it doesn't change the fact it doesn't mean what you think it means

Kirk said numerous things against trans folks, and gay marriage. There were plenty of reasons for a trans or gay person not to like Charlie Kirk. Obviously that doesn’t mean they should kill him over it. Again, Olbermann was just speaking to his motive, not justifying it. And if anyone asks “yeah but what specifically!!!!” I’m not going to reply because then you’ll claim I’m justifying the murder.
