All Activity

Jax made it sound like they have been training for months I do not think he ever needed surgery after the Davino match.

Robideau has to be the most underrated kid out of the 2025/2026 class. Only losses in the last two years are to Shaw 2 super 32's ago and PJ and has 2 wins over Melvin and Joy.

Actually, mspart is right. ONLY conservatives should take advantage of tax loopholes, exemptions and credits. Liberals should all voluntarily pay extra taxes.

More wokester talk with no action. Step up or shut up

Still fighting that hypocrisy, I see.

Inside the 'Leading Scholars' Association' That Declared a Genocide in Gaza. It Includes Human Rights Activists, Psychologists, Museum Professionals, and Lots of Iraqis. Mainstream media reports lauded the International Association of Genocide's unparalleled expertise. The group's membership policies tell a different story. Collin Anderson September 3, 2025 When the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) passed a resolution declaring that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, mainstream media outlets from the New York Times to the Washington Post to Reuters described the association as a "leading" academic voice on the topic. "On Monday," the Times wrote, "the International Association of Genocide Scholars, a leading group of academic experts on the topic, declared that Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza met the legal definition of genocide." So what exactly is the IAGS? Though the association's title indicates that the IAGS is composed of genocide scholars, its members actually include a swath of "academic scholars, human rights activists, students, museum and memorial professionals, policymakers, educators, anthropologists, independent scholars, sociologists, artists, political scientists, economists, historians, international law scholars, psychologists, and literature and film scholars," according to its website. Those who don't fit one of those 17 titles need not be discouraged. To become an active IAGS member, one needs only to fill out a biographical form and pay a membership fee—$125 for a year, $210 for two years, or $1,200 for a lifetime. Doing so provides access to the association's internal Listserv, newsletter, job listing notifications, calls for papers, and biennial conferences. It also unlocks the ability to "nominate individuals for and receive IAGS institutional awards" and join the "IAGS Women's Caucus and the Indigenous People's Caucus." The association's bylaws, meanwhile, state that members must only "be current in their dues" to be considered in good standing—and propose resolutions on genocide. The IAGS executive board then determines "whether or not the proposed resolution will be submitted to the IAGS membership for a vote." Voting is conducted via email. Passing a resolution is not onerous, either. The permissive membership and resolution proposal policies are important because of the association's low bar for passing resolutions. "For a proposed resolution to pass," IAGS bylaws state, "voting must have been undertaken by a quorum of more than 20% of paid up IAGS members at the time of the vote." The association says it represents "600 members from all continents." Only 129 of those members, or roughly 22 percent, voted on the Gaza resolution, according to Sara Brown, a longtime IAGS member who served on its advisory board. The IAGS told the Post that 86 percent of respondents voted in favor of the resolution. That amounts to roughly 110 yes votes reflecting just 18 percent of the group's total membership. None of that context made its way into mainstream media coverage of the vote. The Times described the IAGS as "a leading group of academic experts on the topic," while the Post called it "the oldest and largest association of genocide scholars." The Post also touted the fact that a "large majority—86 percent—of members who voted on the resolution approved it" without noting that less than 30 percent of members actually voted. While it's unclear who exactly voted on the resolution, there's reason to believe that at least some of the respondents were not "genocide scholars." An archived version of the association's public directory lists the first 10 IAGS members as of August 2024. Several have little to no online footprint, including an affiliation with a university of any sort. Salo Aizenberg, an independent scholar who has contributed to the Times of Israel and Tablet magazine, registered as an IAGS member one day after the association released its Gaza report. He reviewed the Listserv and found that 80 members, or roughly 13 percent of the association's "scholars," were Iraqi. "I've been getting to know some of my fellow genocide scholars," he wrote on X. "Seems that Iraq is a center of knowledge in this field with 80 listed scholars of ~600." In doing so, Aizenberg inspired a wave of individuals to join the IAGS, including some using names like Mo Cookieand Sheev Palpatine. The IAGS responded by purging its new members and taking down its public member directory. But the association does not appear to have scrutinized new members prior to the release of its Gaza report. Its bylaws require the executive board to conduct periodical reviews ensuring all members are "current in their dues" but do not require them to prove their scholarly qualifications. Brown, the longtime IAGS member and genocide scholar who holds the first Ph.D. in comparative genocide studies from Clark University, told the Washington Free Beacon that, as a member of the association's advisory committee, she was never asked to vet any new members. "To renew your membership, to become a member, it's a pretty transparent process," Brown said. "As long as you've paid your dues, you can vote." "It is not guaranteed that they are, in fact, experts by way of being, you know, practitioners engaged in the field, or scholars engaged in scholarly discourse, and research," she continued. "How many are actual scholars, and how many are activists?" The IAGS did not respond to a request for comment on the Gaza resolution vote, its vetting process, and its decision to take down its online directory and prevent new members from registering.

None of whom voted for him. Fascist saving political opponents from criminals?!? That's super fascist. Fascistest.

Everybody should pay what they are required to pay. That being said, we should raise taxes for most people. Both the rich AND middle class. But telling people to pay extra taxes on their own simply because they are democrats is a ridiculous argument but par for course for wingers.

What's Daton's return date? Surely he's not healthy yet

Not the fans. We have at least 87 minutes worth of tape from the two times they met in college

“but her decision to cooperate with Trump even more than she needed to sets a troubling precedent.“ Sets a troubling precedent, how. Too whom?

I love that for her... but hate that for USA Women's Wrestling.

Announced she's expecting.

Yeah, that was pretty quick. I don't think they even knew they had a problem 1 second after the hit. mspart

So everyone should use this trick to keep taxes low? It is RV approved to avoid paying taxes that they otherwise would pay? It's like getting free money? I thought you were against all this with all your calls to soak the rich and raising taxes on everyone and all. mspart

Credit card rewards in form of statement credit aren't taxable for anybody. 0 people in this country pay taxes on those. Just works out that way.

This is the path.

So you are actively finding methods to avoid paying taxes? What happened to we don't pay enough taxes? Reducing taxes is good for thee but not for he/she. I get it. It's called hypocrisy. mspart

Kaos is the enemy of the people. Anyone who promulgates it is also an enemy to the people. mspart

Speaking of Bowser, the below is from WAPO and it says, D.C. Mayor Bowser issued an executive order that would welcome federal law enforcement officials to stay in the city indefinitely, an indication of her willingness to cooperate with President Trump’s effort to take over public safety in the District. https://www.facebook.com/washingtonpost/posts/dc-mayor-bowser-issued-an-executive-order-that-would-welcome-federal-law-enforce/1149775563680984/ Of course MSNBC has a different take. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-dc-mayor-muriel-bowser-executive-order-police-rcna228607 There's a cost to the way Muriel Bowser is trying to play the game with Trump The D.C. mayor's cooperation with Trump might be a strategic play — but it has consequences. mspart

So, no red shirts for you?

as it should be

We need Agent 86, Agent 99, and The Chief to get it back under Control.

Ya there is. The anger from wokesters who can’t stand it.
