  1. Does anyone think Bukele is doing this out of the goodness of his heart? Or perhaps foreign aid committments have benn made? Maybe Bukele was even told the aid would disappear if he said he could send the guy back? Nah, someone as transactional as Trump would never pay off another politician to help him defy the Supreme Court. Never.
  2. Except that is not what he said. In the press availabilty he said he doesn't know what the law is but he wants to send our homegrown criminals. He is talking about US citizens. And if you think you are safe because you haven't broken the law, what difference does that make? If someone is willing to send US citizens to Salvadorian prisons, what difference would guilt or innocence make to that kind of person? If Trump decides you are guilty, or inconvenient, you will be sent. Then he will tell Bukele to say it is impossible to get you back.
  3. How about if one of you break the law and Trump decides to ship you to prison in El Salvador? Then would you be against it? Before you claim this is prepostrrous, Trump was caught in the background of a Salvadorian live stream from the White House telling Bukele that "home gowns are next". https://newrepublic.com/post/193985/trump-deport-homegrown-criminals-el-salvador
  4. So.... Remember when I said to take the exact rankings with a grain of salt? Turns out that was good advice. I committed a cardinal sin. I trusted Wikipedia. Well, the results they have for Cael Sanderson are a hot mess. Instead I should trust @Cornell Kevin. I have spent some time putting together what I now think are accurate match by match results, including the matches that were not official. During Sanderson's four non-redshirt years wrestling D1 he won 159 straight official matches and 170 straight total matches. Sanderson's 2002 dominance score of 5.5 moves to number 2 (number 1 among Hodge winners) on the list, ahead of 2017 Zain Retherford (5.484), but still behind 1957 Dan Hodge (5.813).
  5. At this point Trump is white labelling it.
  6. Pro tip. If you feel the need to check your insurance before doing an activity, do not do that activity.
  7. do you know what his 1981 stats were?
  8. The good news is that @Cornell Kevin does have the stats for Emmet Wilson. In 2004 he was 50-0 with 24 pinfalls, 10 tech falls, 8 majors and only 8 decisions. His was one of only 17 seasons to hit the 5.0 mark in the Hodge era. He had the most matches of any of the 17, which makes it that much more impressive.
  9. It is an interesting dynamic right now. Treasuries have always been the safehaven in risky times. Even to a paradoxical extent. When the risk was the US and treasuries being downgraded by ratings agencies, people sold risk assets and bought treasuries. But now the risk is the capriciousness of the decision making by Trump, making holding treasuries as a reserve asset by foreign governments too risky. Trump has a target for 10 year yields, but his own actions are making the target unattainable. Apparently it was the bond market that made him blink, not the stock market.
  10. The internet never forgets, or forgives. It is a brutish wasteland of typos.
  11. Who is Rutherford? And why would anyone name a wrestling award after him?
  12. Good question. His 1957 campaign was unparalleled. But 2017 Retherford pips him the other two years.
  13. Thank you to @jross and @Cornell Kevin for plugging holes in my data. Here is the updated, corrected version of most dominant Hodge winners of all time. With the new data Zain Retherford hangs on to the title, but Stephen Neal knocks Ben Askren and Cael Sanderson down a peg. Speaking of Retherford. His 2016 dominance score of 5.03 was higher than eventual Hodge winner, Alex Dieringer's, score of 4.76. That is the last time the Hodge winner did not have the highest dominance score. Though it had happened prior to 2016. In 2011, Jordan Burroughs won with a dominance score of 4.61, which was only third best among finalists. Jordan Oliver (4.79) and Anthony Robles (4.64) each had higher scores.
  14. I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.
  15. True story. My wife HATES swimming, but she loves a swimmer. She contains multitudes.
  16. Ackman is no dummy. He knows that Trump responds to flattery like no other. And it costs him nothing.
  17. Or.... McNeil has not announced a destination yet. What if he transfers to North Carolina? Rob Koll with the double whammy.
  18. This reminds me of something my dad used to say. Anyone can think of a dumb idea, but it takes a real idiot to listen to it. So, was Navarro the dumb one, and Trump the idiot?
  19. No doubt red viking is a complete mess. But there are also some on here who were cheering on the maximum infliction of pain claiming it was a strategy. Their cheerleader is JimmySpeaks.
  20. Not a dead cat bounce. This was performing CPR on the cat. A dead cat bounce is when the market hits a low and bounces back a bit before heading lower again. This movement higher is because something fundamentally changed. Very different.
  21. Complaining about stupidity is not rooting for stupidity. We all got what we wanted. For Trump to stop being stupid.
  22. You mean some VERY well defined basis. The title of the thread is Trump Tariffs. So going back to when Trump started The Dumbest Trade War In History is the only proper way to do the accounting.
