48 and 52 are madness

That would be a campaign push that would end very quickly. Better to add to the CO2 pollution so she can get her garbage policies out there and not take any questions about them. mspart

"We have to vote for it to find out what's in it" Where have we heard this before? Malfeasance at a colossal level. mspart

I did say in a post earlier both parties are proposing this. Trying to point out we are ***ducked** no matter what bc apparently both parties have plans that will cause inflation, repbubs with child tax credit and dems with child tax credit and or first time home buyer assistance

Think about how the rise in education costs was largely driven by the easy availability of student loans. This influx of funding boosted demand for higher education, allowing institutions to raise tuition prices. Similarly, a $25K incentive for homebuyers would increase demand for houses, enabling sellers to raise prices. There is a limited housing supply, and printing money will cause inflation, resulting in a boost to the home's asking price. Personally, I anticipate asking $50K more for my property...

And yet you have nothing at all to say about the merits of the article? Or is it guilt by association? Or is it when they agree with you they are a good liberal rag, but when they disagree with you, they are a product of some unnamed rich guy and are in the tank for the wealthy? Perhaps a discussion on the merits of the article would be an appropriate response. Or you could just knee jerk react with an ad hominem that makes very little sense regarding the topic you are responding to. Only you can decide. mspart

Why argue about this? Even WAPO said this plan is waco. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/15/kamala-harris-price-gouging-groceries/ When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls? mspart

Whining on social media must be part of his brand now. Pretty lame TBH, seems like he's lost the smart/humble/capable vibe that made him fun to follow in college.

It was a very exciting match, particularly for this high a level. Jiu jitsu matches tend to be much cagier than this because submissions can come from so many positions, little mistakes can end a match in a way that doesn't exist in wrestling. I would also add, in no way is this meant to be an insult, but if you are unfamiliar with jiu jitsu, there is plenty of positional nuance that you might not appreciate. This was basically two guys throwing caution to the wind the whole match, think of it like Ryan Lang - Darrion Caldwell.

If Trump were thinking critically... ...he'd see he’s already won on policy, achievements, humor, and wit. To improve his appeal, he should dial back the NYC attitude, show respect, acknowledge his opponents' accomplishments, stay calm, and focus on solutions. By softening his rhetoric and reducing personal attacks, he might connect with voters who are turned off by combative styles but are open to his policies and ideas. While he might not change the views of the uninformed and identity-driven voters, he could make an impact with those who value emotional intelligence.

Why wasn’t he criminally charged with it? What part of operating within the democratic system with checks and balances equates to dictator? Will you add some posts to the thinking critically topic? I could sure use it.

Ten weights for both styles: 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 100, 130 Our NCAA weight classes then need to be adjust to follow suit.

They're delirious. I haven't seen so many lies since Bill Clinton.

But suppose we did it. Suppose we spent countless trillions, destroyed our electric grid and reduced our standard of living to a pre-industrial level. How much would an American “net zero” affect global temperatures? This paper by three of the world’s leading scientists, Richard Lindzen, William Happer and W. A. van Wijngaarden, of MIT, Princeton and York University respectively, undertakes a mathematical calculation to answer that question:

oh, hell, @ILLINIWrestlingBlog, I was high that day.

Beat me to it lol. Why do you need ID to attend the dnc … it’s tots racism! Also walls/fences don’t work. Why is my city full of them this week ?

Didn’t want to make a whole thread and thought it fit this thread.

Looks like this guy was wrong about JB’s career being over

now it's the republican child tax credit plan

What's going on at the DNC? We know they hate walls, but wait...

Again, you are not arguing the article, but association. What in the article do you disagree with? Be specific. mspart

Veep Thoughts Did she mean to say ‘communityism?’

True. I like gymnastics but not that aspect of it. Can she be taken to some IOC court (or some international body) and forced to give it back. Maybe the equivalent of UWW disbars her from ever competing again. I don't know. Seems like IOC has a lot to answer for in this. mspart

Hey hey I already made that joke!

Agree his comments seemed mainly in reference to Downey. One because Downey won a match and two because apparently people thought he should have won the second as well. It couldn’t have been in reference to Nolf because his opponent didn’t do the lay on his back thing.

I don’t think going below 57 kg., is a good idea.

The same way a $1 increase in minimum wage amounts to a $5 increase for journeymen.

Honestly, how badass would it be to see him go 79 KG then give 86 KG a go on his last go?

Giving out this free cash for houses will again make inflation worse. My house value just went up $50K if KH hands out $25K. Just like giving out money during Covid via the printing machine made everything cost more!!! Who wants a popsicle?

A typical mantra of some people is "I ran a gauntlet and suffered, and so must you". The boomers and to a degree Gen X were given an economic cheat code with low barriers to entry for the housing market. The modern market is much more difficult and even renting is cost prohibitive. Hence we see mult generational households and kids not moving out.

100% agree. I'm a purple belt and primarily a guard player, and i think pulling guard is conceding dominant position, and if you don't advance your position from there, i don't know how you can say you would. Failed submissions should provide you with as much credit as almost takedowns - none.

Agree it's still a title, and there are always a ton of tweeners shut out due to stupid Olympic weights. If he wins it, I hope we don't discount it like Stieber's 2016 title.

Gymnastics will always be rife with controversy. Judging is not objective. She should refuse to return it and the US contingent should fight it.

The event was super fun. As an ex wrestler in BJJ, I totally get both sides of the argument against and for a guard-centric combat sport. While guard can be extremely effective and lead to much submission offense, it shouldn't be considered a dominant position. If there's a takedown to guard and no other action, the player initiating the takedown should be rewarded. If a player wants to concede to guard, there should be an impetus on the guard player to overcome a deficit. My 2 cents.

You're being too reasonable

A little, not really. ADCC has exploded in popularity the last 5-10 years, has grown significantly, and has started a whole circuit of satellite tournaments, the head of ADCC has flaunted some wealth (although I believe he is independently wealthy), and through all this the prize money has never changed - $10k to the winners, nothing to anyone else. The fact that it is behind Flo's paywall (and Flo is probably more hated in BJJ than in wrestling), and ADCC has really attached its flag to Gordon Ryan, who most people don't like, have added to this. Craig is, on the other hand, completely unserious and pretty universally loved in the sport for both his skill and his sense of humor.

Nolf and Kerk.

Is peppercorn grown in Iowa?

The duality of what can be unburdened by what has been.

Well, he's an exceedingly good grappler, ADCC finalist, hair away from tapping gordon ryan (his old training partner), but he's also hands down the biggest social media name in jiu jitsu because of his tireless Australian sense of humor. He effectively comes from the Jiu Jitsu version of the Dan Gable Hawkeyes, but he didn't forget how to laugh and poke fun at people, jiu jitsu, and himself.

A thousand years ago. And common sense still isn’t.

shouldn't you KNOW her policies? or do we have to vote her in to find out...

kamala should run her campaign on an electric bus and stop at all the charging stations she delivered... speaking of getting things done

Still auditioning for your dream job at The National Enquirer?

It seems Iowa has shown that doesn’t matter I don’t really think he will transfer, but I wouldn’t be shocked. Wasn’t the thought that he might redshirt this year anyway?

The greatest American 70kg of all time. He will be missed.
