Old enough to put their life on the line for their country. I just read an incredible story of a 12-year-old named Calvin Leon Graham. He enlisted in the Navy right after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1942. To enlist, he lied about his age' forged his mother's signature and used a stolen notary stamp. He looked much older than is age. He was assigned to the USS south Dakota. Within 2 months he was in the battle of Santa Cruz Islands. A month later he was the Battle of the Solomons. He took shrapnel to the face , fell 3 decks yet he continued to fight as a loader for a 40mm anti-aircraft gun. Through the night he aided in helping the other wounded with tourniquets and general first aide. Half of his fellow soldiers were killed. For his actions he was awarded the bronze star and a Purple Heart and a second Navy Unit Commendation. They still did not know he was 12. You can probably look up his name and read more about him. I saw the story in Backwoods Home magazine.3 points

Wait ... if illegally shifted funds with intent of committing another crime, defrauding the 'democracy of free and fair election, wouldn't that make it a felony? Sorry didn't really need to specify the crime, let's just say she's doing it with intent to commit some unspecified crime. It might be she's gonna use the funds to hire gangsters to hold up a bank. Who knows.2 points

Wrestling off-season is SLOW! This process of elimination gives at least one extra side show of distraction to follow. It's a creative approach to making a selection. It would be tiresome if everyone did this, but its a fun change of pace.2 points

Why do they have primary's then to select the nominee? Isn't that the voice of the people speaking. But if you look at the Democrats they don't trust their own voters so they have SUPER DELEGATES just in case.2 points

Uncle B and @WrestlingRasta are you guys just teasing the posters on this thread or in general you think maga supporters are freaking out? I've never voted for trump and never will but this election is pretty much in the bag. At this point it's Dems trying to hold on to as many seats in the House and Senate. All the indicators are there that Trump is far ahead on the electoral map. But I get it. It's a ln election year so both sides have to go full delusional2 points

Or not. The other option would be to keep looking for anything, anything at all to bitch about the other side about. That's probably going to be productive for you. All the best.2 points

For 9 days she had not given any information out to Congress or the Senate. An attempted assassination of A former President. Just by a fraction of an inch President Trump is alive. One father is dead and 2 others are still recovering in the hospital. She did not inform them or the American Public with updates of the details of the ongoing investigation. Inexcusable.2 points

I’m friends with a number of cops. Some of the best humans you’ll ever meet. There’s bad apples. For sure. I think a more accurate original post would be ‘some American police’, or maybe even ‘a growing number of’… For every instance we hear about one of these, there are two or three instances of cops putting themselves on the line for another citizen. It just doesn’t get sensationalized because, yes, it is their job. But to pain a broad brush like some are is not only dangerous, but it also takes away from the individuals bad apples who are the ones that need to be accountable, and spreads some of that accountability to those who are amazing at their job.2 points

WFS 50 KG Hildebrandt 'shocks' the world via not losing to Susaki via TECH in the finals, and brings home Silver. 53 KG Parrish has won it all before, albeit not during an Olympic year... BUT... she grinds her way through to the finals. Also brings home a Silver (while beating #1 seed from Ecuador enroute to the finals, btw). 57 KG Maroulis dominates everyone not named Sakurai enroute to a Bronze. 62 KG Miracle scratches and claws and grinds her way to another Silver finish for WFS Team USA, also losing to Japan (Motoki). 68 KG Elor doesn't allow a single non-shotclock point aside for the final 15 seconds of any match all weekend enroute to a Gold performance save for one exception: In one match she gives up the first Takedown, then Techs her opponent. A random occurrence. 76 KG Blades keeps her head 'out' of trouble and picks up steam, eventually pulling off a Techfellery in the finals. Overall: WFS Team USA brings home six medals. Japan does NOT get six medals, but sill wins based on the strength of going four for four in the first four weights. Obviously you gents get to see a Page 8 news bulletin on BBC titled "Where's the rest of the of the Heffer?!" with a photo of some elderly-ish black man streaking up the quad with a full, raw leg shank in one hand, a gallon of Jager in another, and the worlds 3rd largest beer hat on - filled to the rim with a concoction of Black Velvet and Natural Ice. I am talking epic proportion inebriation here, gents. I aim to overtake 'Florida Man' with 'Elderly-ish Black Man' by the time the Olympics are over.2 points

You’re so full of shit. You were arguing with Jimmy last week, who within claimed to be retired. You’re so busy running around talking stoopid shit you can’t keep track, nor have the capability to just say, my bad, wrong guy. Go away for a little while….again…work on your posting, do better, come up with yet another screen name, (do significantly better) then come back. We’ll see how you do.2 points

She was given an ultimatum resign or you will fired. Where is the integrity in that. Did you not see her yesterday in front of congress. She said over and over again she was not going to step down. That was 20 hours ago.1 point

The next president of the US was almost killed and you are concerned about rude and unprofessional words? The legislators can't hold her accountable with actions. ...Even the democratic legislators want to take her to the woodshed. The lady embarrassed herself and the nation. How has she not resigned? She not demonstrated accountability and transparency. Why hasn't Mayorkas fired her? He continues to be is derelict in his duties.1 point

MGR 77, 87, 97 KG Bey, Jacobson, and Rau all wrestle for medals, albeit bronze medals - all with a 49.5% chance of winning. Bey - Random number generator between 0 and 1000 gives us 657, meaning he wins his Bronze match. We see him pull off at least two high-flying Bey bombs in this tournament. Jacobson - Random number generator between 0 and 1000 gives us 151, meaning he loses his Bronze match. He is in every match he wrestles, though - which gets us rather excited about his future in this sport. Rau - Random number generator between 0 and 1000 gives us 638, meaning he wins his Bronze match. This would be a storybook ending for our MGR squad if not for what I am about to lay down at 130 KG. Not trust me... because I will llay it all out there for you and you will eat my minced words. When it happens, you will all collectively shit your pants. 130 KG Four time Olympic Gold, five time Worlds Gold, and three time Worlds Silver medalist Mijain Lopez gets drawn in to face the #1 seeded Iranian in Round 1 - beating him. Coon wins a back and forth 6-2 match on a last ten second four pointer in Round 1. Coon then decks Lopez on a simple, early throw. He gives a generic interview "This is what we practice for every day. Thank you to my family, thank you to my coaches, and thank you to Baby Jesus. This is what we practice for every day. It's just another match we give 100% to." etc... Coon then wins the semi-finals similar to his first match. Back and fourth... needs another four pointer in the last minute to win 7-4. Coon then wins his finals over whoever has the balls to take the mat with him via 1M17S Pinfellery. I will let your imaginations flow as to how I will celebrate there. Essentially it breaks down to my entering the race for Presidency via accepting both the Democrat and Republican nominations simultaneously, with Trump announcing that I am 'The Best. There has never been anyone better.' and Hitlery calling it a 'No-brainer.'1 point

How many “word salads” delivered by agenda driven A-holes does it take to know that if the job isn’t done, you fail. In this arena, someone dies. Humans (and animals) respond to incentive. Both negative & positive incentive. Fire her A*%}# with NO GOLDEN PARACHUTE (and anyone else responsible) and see what happens to the future ppl who (think they can) do this job. I promise you, it takes “incentives” like jail/prison/execution for ppl NOT to kill & commit crimes; so there’s no difference here, when ppl screw up, they should get what they deserve. See what happens on both ends, if we DO or if we DON’T have incentives in our society. Example: Back in the Wild West, they had 6-shooters talk “the incentive language” to criminals. It was clear as can be. Vise Versa, if we didn’t have law enforcement or a court system (when it works as it should) we’d be in an “anything goes” banana republic. In this arena, let the “YOU GET FIRED WITHOUT A PENSION IF YOU SCREW UP,” (in this job) do the talking. Then see what happens & how everything/everyone gets “better” where it should’ve been before the issue/negligence happened in the first place. (That’s simple stuff ppl.)1 point

I'm not saying the changes you are suggesting are wrong. All I am saying is that I don't consider the failure by the secret service to be equal to incompetence. This guy got off 8 shots because he had a semi-automatic assault rifle-that is extremely challenging to stop even though they did eliminate the threat in seconds. At some point, there will be another failure by the Secret Service. Thankfully, we went forty years between the last major one and this one (they have stopped many potential threats between these two events). When that next failure happens, there will be some other point of failure that seems obvious in retrospect that was overlooked. It's just the nature of challenge of the job. It's impossible to account for and prevent every scenario given that these candidates are holding so many rallies and the secret service has finite resources. You mention drones and helicopters as a defense-well preventing a drone attack is challenging as well. Look at the murder of the Japanese prime minister as an example of how challenging stopping an assassination is. As technology gets better to stop these attacks, the technology available for them also improves. It's very easy to shit on law enforcement these days. I think we can acknowledge that they failed while also recognizing how difficult their job is, and how failure does not equal incompetence. The focus should be analogous to that after 9/11, where the goal was to stop future events-not insult the FBI for their failure to stop the attack.1 point

Israel has had cockpit doors that are secured for decades. AS far as securing sights maybe the zone should be extended out as far as necessary to protect president. Maybe put snipers on all buildings or at least agents or police on them. Maybe have arial security . Drones and helicopters. This job is ZERO fail. You don't get a do over when you screw up. Protocol should be shoot first if someone has a weapon on a roof. I believe he got off 8 shots before the sniper killed him. There was a slight cross wind blowing that the shooter did not take into consideration because he was inexperienced. That was very fortunate for President Trump. Had he been an experienced sniper Trump would have been dead. You can tell by the flag being flown overhead that there was a crosswind.1 point

I wouldn’t say DT directed his supporters to storm the capital, but to act like he bears no responsibility is asinine and we all know for damn sure you wouldn’t apply that metric to a democrat. He lied and whipped his people into a frenzy over the election and they did something insane as a direct consequence of that lie. as @jross would say, what happened to personal responsibility?1 point

Billy, are you saying that they did not have resources to cover that rooftop that was in plain sight of the stage? Or is it SS procedure to wait for a would be assassin to fire first before taking any action whatsoever to stop more shooting? I have heard a recording of the SS guys talking about the guy on the rooftop, pointing him out, and doing nothing. If that is normal protocol, I suggest a new protocol be developed where such rooftops are not left unmanned and if so, someone on there gets shot, especially if they have a firearm. Even if they don't. mspart1 point
