I was really hoping after 2011 that I would never have to hear the "the amputee actually has an advantage" argument again.

... boat loads

Democrat voters saw Kamala beat Trump. Trump supporters saw a three-on-one attack with zero concern for the facts. I expect we all saw poor content on policy and detail. I was most impressed with Kamala's closure ending on a positive, whereas Trump closed with Kamala attacks. Kamala's articulation, confidence, and control had a passing grade while her argument evidence, support, and content relevance warrants an F. For me, the content was an F and it holds a higher weight than the delivery.

If there are 10 tiers of performance, with tier 10 the worst... both Kamala and Trump were in that tier.

Easiest it’s ever been to watch Olympics in the history of the Olympics. Interface was great, replays were dead simple, mobile and web were both seamless. I’m not surprised it was viewed so much!

Let's just wrestle freestyle nine/ten months out of the year and give folkstyle the summer...

They could have made it less obvious.

The survey of 800 voters by InsiderAdvantage showed the Republican candidate at 49 percent and his Democratic rival at 48 percent. Interesting poll results. mspart

Foxcatcher was a great movie imo

Never that I know of. I am posing a hypothetical based on the parallels to Musk.

At least it is on the Boise State AD's mind https://x.com/Seth_Duckworth/status/1834610727056781643

First Question: When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago? Kamala: So, I was raised as a middle-class kid... We know that we have a shortage of homes and housing, and the cost of housing is too expensive for far too many people. We know that young families need support to raise their children... Real meaning: Does not acknowledge that things are worse. Talks about the future only. Donald: ...We have inflation like very few people have ever seen before. Probably the worst in our nation's history. We were at 21%. But that's being generous because many things are 50, 60, 70, and 80% higher than they were just a few years ago. This has been a disaster for people, for the middle class, but for every class... I created one of the greatest economies in the history of our country. I'll do it again and even better. Real meaning: Strong (but indirect) that things are worse and that he will make it better. Potential Lies TRUE: Cost of house is too expensive for too many people. FALSE: Inflation was not 21%. It is the highest in the past 40 years but not the worst in our nation's history. TRUE: Many things are 50-80% higher than just a few years ago. TRUE: Trump's economic standing pre-COVID would place him favorably compared to other post-WWII presidents in terms of stock market gains, unemployment rates, and wage growth. Criticisms Kamala never answers the question and ends with an attack on Trump. Trump rebuts the attack as an opening and then answers the question. Neither candidate answers the question immediately and as direct as possible. The transcript is full of facts, inaccuracies, lies, and exaggerations by both candidates. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/harris-trump-presidential-debate-transcript/story?id=113560542

Stop. It wasn't true. Trump and Vance are the presidential and vice presidential candidates for the Republican Party, not a nobody on Twitter. This was easily verifiable and is having very real, very negative effects on very real Haitian immigrants in Springfielwd, OH.

So we don’t really trust the media, we don’t hate the media enough, unless it’s something from social media that makes me feel fuzzier about the shit heads I’m supporting. Makes sense. The dive is deep.

The American voter lost the most. Hopefully America can see through all the smoke and mirrors.

Did he try to deadlift three 220lb campus cops?

Daniel Manibog from OKST to Cal Bap David Berkovich from Columbia to Cal Bap Carter Schmidt from Iowa State to Cal Bap Jamikael Lytle from Queens to Cal Bap

Or did he just say "Mr Fast Twitch 665!"

And since his tirade of nonsense during the debate there has been incidents of violence in Springfield and bomb threats at city hall, directly related to these lies. This is a glimpse of what life under the new Trump would look like. Lies and lies that influence violence (we’ve seen that movie before right?). Make America Great Again could be the best of compliments, if it was anything more than some comfy words to suck in the sheep, and if it wasn’t for the fact that America IS GREAT But MAGA is a sub cult of treachery that will in no way, shape, or form improve or progress America. And the sheep will one day have to come to terms with what they’ve parroted and flocked to during this era. And I’m here for every bit of the meltdown and watching the fever break. So far, it hasn’t disappointed in the beginning stages.

Beautiful! Forfeits at 133 and 184, but this team wins some duals.

Look at the language in the pro-abortion bills. They don’t want any restrictions or guidelines. Even in Europe, abortions after about 15 weeks are strongly regulated.

Per Flo: According to USA Wrestling’s team selection criteria, as the 2023 World Champion at 86 kg, David Taylor will be the #1 seed in the 92 kg bracket at the World Team Trials. As a 2023 world medalist at 92 kg, Zahid Valencia will sit out to the best of 3 finals. That means David Taylor will have to win at least 3 matches to get to Valencia in Sunday’s finals. Pre-Seeds: David Taylor (Cowboy RTC/ TMWC) Trent Hidlay (Wolfpack WC/TMWC) Jonathan Aiello (Pennsylvania RTC/TMWC) Michael Macchiavello (LVWC/TMWC) Eric Schultz (Nebraska WTC) Aeoden Sinclair (Tiger Style WC) Patrick Downey (NYAC) Marcus Coleman (Cyclone RTC) Cameron Caffey (Michigan WC) Maximus Hale (Pennsylvania RTC) Nick Stemmet (Illinois) Zane Mulder (Burg Training Center) Luke Duthie (Pennsylvania) Eze Chukwuezi (Spartan Combat RTC) Aidan Brenot (Bison WC

he violated an education code and then was arrested for resisting. these charges will probably be dropped. sounds like an overly aggressive campus cop.

What Trump (and presumably you) keep referencing is Ralph Northam, the former governor of Virginia (not West Virginia as Trump keeps saying) a pediatric neurologist, talking about what happens if a non-viable fetus or one with a severe deformity was born. The other stuff you're talking about "post birth neglect", I'll read whatever info you have, because I just spent the last 30 minutes Googling and using other search engines to find anything about "neglecting the baby" psot-birth other than the talking point similar to yours that there are "multiple real cases." There is one video, from Canton, Ohio of an apparently life-long Canton resident, not a Haitian immigrant, in the midst of either a mental health or drug-induced crisis. There is so far zero direct evidence of Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs here in America, whether in Springfield, Ohio (where the original claim is made) or anywhere else. Every single "report" on this issue so far is somebody's neighbor who says they heard. https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/no-evidence-haitian-immigrants-stealing-eating-pets-ohio-2024-09-10/ AS near as I can tell, these claims started circulating around the time that this man, identifying himself as "Nathaniel Higgers", spoke at the Springfield County Commission. He self-identifies as Nathaniel Higgers, I have no idea if that is his actual name, and that he is a member of "Blood Pride", a Neo-Nazi group. Nate Higgers is a common theme/fake name used in these circles because...well, I think you can figure it out if you look at the name hard enough. This is it. These are the people that are originating the claims that have no basis in fact that you are accepting and that people on the right including the candidates for president and vice president are amplifying.

I might watch this shitty debate again to fact check but as wild as the two things are, there are truths to both of these. Democrats allowing post birth abortions There are multiple real cases where doctors do not attempt to preserve the born alive baby's life, rather they completely neglect (worst case) or provide palliative care (best case). Magic words are used that distract. Neglecting to preserve a born alive baby's live is not technically murder but it feels just as shitty to me. Immigrants were eating cats and dogs There were actual watchable videos and evidence of cat eating on X before the debate. And there were Haitian citizens describing on video (on X) that Haitians eat cats and kill cats both for poverty/hunger and voodoo reasons.

I think there's a difference between fact checking a framing of an issue, which should be left to the candidates, and fact checking just blatantly untrue, inflammatory things. The only place where I thought the fact checking was inappropriate was where David Muir said he didn't detect sarcasm when Trump said he was being sarcastic about saying he "lost by a whisker". I think Muir is probably right, having listened to Trump's Lex Fridman interview, but that's a matter of opinion and framing, and should have been left to Harris to address, if she wanted to. Just saying wild lies about Democrats allowing post birth abortions and that a whole swath of immigrants were eating cats and dogs in a local neighborhood required a fact check. The reason he got fact checked more is because he lied more. She played politics more. She was asked follow up questions on more than a couple of occasions, and she just did the same thing I sai above; she pivoted. I don't like that this is how our politicians debate now, but that's how they all do it. Trump did it to, when he wasn't saying his crazy shit. There were many fact checks that could have been put on Trump but weren't, because they were more about fraing and hyperbole, like him claiming this is the worst inflation ever (clearly not), or him claiming he "saved the Affordable Care Act", etc. None of those got moderator pushback, and there were countless other examples. Only the most egregious things (other than the Muir "no sarcasm detected" thing) received push back.

She didn't suck. She wasn't "amazing" either, but she had a plan and she executed it pretty flawlessly. She gave a standard debate performance where the candidate doesn't answer most of the actual questions and instead tries to pivot to an area where he or she feels they're stronger. This SOP for political debates for as long as I can remember, unfortunately. She set really obvious traps for Trump and he just stepped on the rake over and over again, because he's an easily-manipulated dope.

Even Biden is coming around.

Calling someone MAGA is one of the best compliments... irrespective of one's political support.

MAGA is having a real hard time with reality, even more so than usual. I would be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying the meltdown a little bit, like visions coming to fruition.

#Wishcasting Just take the L. She whooped his ass. It won't matter much in terms of what happens in the election, maybe a point or two temporary bump, but she demolished him.

I will go one step further. Trump's performance was the second worst ever for a nominee, or presumptive nominee, behind only Joe Biden's. Even Nixon's famous first debate with Kennedy was a better performance than what we saw from Trump.

This video captures what it's like for Critical Thinkers to share space with the Media.

The Olympics are dead? Ratings were up 82%! https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/13/media/paris-olympics-ratings-nbc-peacock-viewership-streaming/index.html#:~:text=The 2024 Summer Olympics in,streamed Olympics of all time.

And MAGA has come full circle, when all else fails, we can always go back to Hillary!

There is no claim. There's a promise from a disreputable source that there will be a claim coming later.

Usually one has evidence first, then makes accusations based off that evidence. Try that.

Me these days when AJ comes up.

Sure, Jan.

The emotional spiraling on this forum after their boy got his ass kicked by someone he's called a brain dead loser and low IQ is amazing. Take the L and move on. Nope, instead we've got cheating moderators, questions given in advance, and wireless earring microphones (as isual without any evidence of anything other than the continued belief that its literally impossible for them to lose). These forums are just basically my crazy uncle's Facebook feed now.

Mark Penn calls for investigation Mark Penn, former advisor to Bill and Hillary Clinton, has also called for an internal investigation by ABC News into the perceived bias of the debate moderators. Penn suggested an independent review of the moderators' texts and emails to determine if there was any effort to "rig the outcome" of the debate. He criticised the media coverage as "laughable" and highlighted the need for impartiality in future debates. https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/debate-fallout-trump-accuses-abc-news-of-bias-as-harris-campaign-pushes-for-rematch-mark-penn-calls-for-investigation/ar-AA1quaxP

Heard if he loses to Pat Downey..Downey will be the new Okie State HC

Is it always 0 days and we are just always behind?

No doubt. What a jerk! mspart

He risks injury.

All data collection is junk. But some is more valuable than others.

So it is proven that violent crime is down when the most violent cities do not participate in the UCR program. Folks, that is the definition of being disingenous. If Chicago reported there would be a different result. mspart

It was just Penn State. He was a hidden gem so no one else saw the talent.
