  1. I think this is the first time I have ever quoted myself, but it is to correct myself. Once again, I know nothing. I just spoke to what I believe to be a reliable source who confirmed the $500k. He described it as an Iowa specific outlier. If I had Bob Nicholls' money, I could burn mine.
  2. Kinzinger smells it, too.
  3. I am so glad we have such an articulate candidate. Word salad? Never.
  4. It used to be that the fate of all crypto enthusiasts was to get their money stole. Trump is here to help.
  5. Someone needs to fill the Sidney Powell role for the Trump campaign.
  6. Maybe he is like me. I prefer to each my own.
  7. This feels like Michael Jordan-esque motivation. His commentary about Starocci's knee was a whole lot of so what. Nickal's reaction was a bunch of phony bluster. But if that is what he uses for motivation after all these years of grinding, then so be it. As for the fan part, yeah f*** that guy. As Burroughs said directly to him at the time, "what have you done?"
  8. In 2020, he made a social media post backing Trump’s reelection, but in more recent years his posts have expressed support for Biden and Harris. We contain multitudes. I am sure there will be more to come.
  9. The fans part I get. He got booed by the fans, and then there was that dipshit in a PSU shirt leaning over the railing and getting into it with JB. But is he really that upset with Mesenbrink still? Seems silly. Or is there something Nolf did or said? Seems unlikely. And what is his beef with the coaches?
  10. https://www.flowrestling.org/events/12791900-2024-world-team-trials/videos?playing=12840507&limit=60 JB calling out PSU fans, coaches, and wrestlers for how we acted at OTT.
  11. I have no insight to the diseased mind. And make no mistake, anyone who decides to aim a gun at a person has a diseased mind.
  12. Not to worry. Handsome Tuesday is right around the corner.
  13. Ok, so you are being reckless. There are an infinte number of motives, but you have pre-determined one. I, too, find it outrageous that someone, and now multiple people, want to assassinate Trump, but I will reserve judgement on motivation until anything is known.
  14. A Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of fence and “engaged” with the suspect, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said at a news conference late Sunday afternoon. The suspect fled in a car and was taken into custody after being stopped on the highway.
  15. I feel like Beau Bartlett or Nick Lee at 70 would be a stretch.
  16. As I was saying, one of Trump's favorite bits is, when challenged, to play (?) dumb even while exposing himself as a liar. How about this ditty about that nut job, Laura Loomer? “She’s a strong person. She’s got strong opinions, and I don’t know what she said, but that’s not up to me. She’s a supporter,” Trump said. So which is it? You know about her opinions? Or you don't know what she said? All in the same sentence. Or how about him not giving two shits about the people he puts in danger with his lunatic claims? The city hall in Springfield was forced to close due to a bomb threat on Thursday. Two elementary schools were evacuated Friday “based on information received from the Springfield Police Division,” the Springfield City School District announced Friday. Two local hospitals — Kettering Health and Mercy Health Springfield Regional Medical Center — were also forced into lockdown due to bomb threats Saturday, according to statements sent to CNN. And then Trump goes to his patented "I'm too dumb to know what is going on" cop out: Trump dismissed those concerns on Friday, and again on Saturday when asked whether he denounced the threats in Springfield. “I don’t know what happened with the, uh, bomb threats,” Trump said. The man is a coward.
  17. I always enjoy your commentary @D3 for LU
  18. You're missing the difference. Those are things presidents do AFTER they are president.
  19. It was a long bike ride. The mind wanders.
  20. I heard someone else is something else.
  21. I have an alternate theory. Theory #1 was Trump exits as soon as humanly possible. It is all found money. Get whatever you can. It certainly won't be billions, what with trying to sell 60% of the company. But the market has already anticipated this as the stock has slid hard in front of the lockup expiration. But Trump declared he will not be selling. So either he sells anyway and has to deal with certain litigation for securities fraud, or he does hold on. But with less than $4 million of annual revenue and something like $50 million of annual losses, what are you holding on to? Then it hit me. Bribes. If you are looking to influence a president what better way than to send wads of cash to his company, legitimately, by buying wads of services? And services are so much better than goods. Goods are inefficient. Goods have to be manufactured. Goods have a cost for the producer. Then goods have to be shipped. And where will you keep all those Trump bibles, and Trump hats, and Trump books? No, services are where it is at. And what better service than advertising? Advertising is so much more efficient. Money flows in one direction and nothing (?, good will? influence?) flows in the other direction. The marginal cost to host another ad on your site is just about zero (I think we are all living that experience now). Say you are Vladimir Putin and you really want the US to back off on all this Ukraine support, what can you do about that? Well, if the Greater Moscow Tourism Bureau were to buy $100 million of advertisements on Truth Social, what would be the harm? Just promoting good will between our two countries. Yes, advertising is the game if you want to bribe a president. Fortunately, Trump is too principled in too many ways to cheapen himself in that way. When I think of Trump, I think faithful. Ask any of his wives. If you can find Melania, that is.
