Poor sweet, naive Donald. I hope he can maintain his childlike innocence.

I am amazed and impressed by the spinal flexibility at your age. Poor Donald. He is the real victim here. Those dastardly Democrats and their reverse psychology tricked him into doing and saying all the things he said and did up to and including Jan. 6. It is such a shame that extra security wasn't provided like it has not been at every election ratification (note to self: look up why extra security was needed)

That is some big news

He is not in the portal that I am aware of.

So what?

He did not list insurrection on the website, because it was only attempted. Like most things Trump he failed to achieve his goals.

Hinges on your interpretation of "next chapter", but Jimmy don't do nuance. He used to write headlines for the National Inquirer.

I read on Happy Valley Insider that on IG he posted that he was deciding within the week. Not on IG so take that with a grain of salt.

This stat surprised me: Men’s freestyle was the style that confounded the journalists, as no journalist had more than two of the men’s freestyle Olympic champions selected.

Everyone seems to be giving Yui Susaki a free pass. While bronze is nothing to sneeze at, I do not think there was a bigger favorite.

Then why are you spending so much time talking about it?

I think the best we can hope for is 8 weights. Eight or fewer weights is historically more common than 10 for the Olympics and for Worlds. But the real shame of it is that it was FILA/UWWW that started cutting back on weights, not the Olympics.

@FWwrestling It has been all over the place over the years. From 1928 to 1980 a bad points system was used. Accumulate 6 bad points and you are eliminated. From 1984 to 1992 it was two pools with double elimination in the pools. Top from each pool wrestled for gold, second from each for bronze, third from each for fifth, etc. For 1996 it was a single elimination bracket with repechage. From 2000 to 2004 it was pools of three or four with the winner of each pool moving to a single elimination bracket. Since 2008 it has been a single elimination bracket with repechage.

You're asking for receipts? You offering any?

You sure about that? He got a concussion on a take down in CO and was in the hospital. Then he had a pretty weak OTT.

I would be happy if he stuck to building ice rinks.

Perhaps with a time machine.

1972 was the first time there was 10 weights. It was 8 prior to that.

You have a future in politics

I've got Amit Elor on my list. She beat two world champs in her four matches.

What the hell happened on Twitter tonight? 40 minute wait, 30 minutes of techno before Trump comes on slurring his words while saying Kamala Harris on the cover of Time looks like Melania Trump. Apparently these should be on the Separated at Birth thread. Then Musk doubles down by claiming the delay was a denial of service attack while there are suggestions that is not true. https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/12/24219121/donald-trump-elon-musk-interview-x-twitter-crashes

I feel the same way about Bruce Baumgartner, John Smith, and Jordan Burroughs.
