  1. Which lightweight wrestler made multiple senior FS teams across two decades (80s/90s) after finishing his collegiate career as a second string D2 wrestler?
  2. Which 70s wrestler made two senior FS teams while never having wrestled for a college university?
  3. Nick Marable? Good enough to knock off JB. Good enough to make a world team. More…
  4. I don't even assume hair color for a select group of users: const coloredHairUsers = [ "lisa-morales", //"2254", //profile ID works as well "bardamu911", "buckshot", "pokemonster", "bruceyb", "pipewrench", "crotalus", "jimmycinnabon", "pawrestler", "rocklobster", "lowleg", "wrestlefan12", "tripnsweep", "red-viking", "blueandgold", "kcmo2", ]; Just like you never know what progressive take their going to make, I never know what color my little script will choose for their hair.
  5. Rational people feel like they are wrestling fog. Emotional people feel like they are wrestling a calculator. The F-bombs are virtue signaling authenticity. It shouldn't be this hard for more Democrats to be more rational.
  6. Even if the best case for the Tate's turns out to mirror Trever Bauer, their character is repugnant. For those that don't know, Trevor Bauer was charged with sexual misconduct claims in 2021. Lindsey Hill said he assaulted her, but they settled in 2023 with no cash; texts hinted she wanted money. Darcy Esemonu accused him too, then was charged in 2024 for fraud after asking for millions. Bauer has been out of the MLB since the charges. Clearly the women were after his wallet. My bias says the Tates are guilty of something... It is curious that they returned from the USA to Romania for court.
  7. I do not follow the tate brothers and the OP article is behind a paywall. It is an honest question leading to who, why, and the impact. Is it Trump or the Trump admin? So since you will not detail, I will research. Romanian officials, Hurezeanu and Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, denied U.S. pressure and insisted the decision to lift the Tates’ travel ban was a prosecutorial call. There is discussion that Richard Grenell, who supports the Tates anti woke agenda, informally spoke with Hurezeanu before the decision. Grenell served as Acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) from February to May 2020. He is an envoy for special missions, a role that has latitude to engage in diplomatic efforts on behalf of the Trump administration. He is also gay… which does not fit the stereotype for a Tate fan. So yeah Romania responded to pressure. I don’t know if the Tates are innocent under the law or why their cases are still pending after so many years. I don’t know why politics would support this guy. He has a following, pro Trump, masculine, anti woke, …but repulsive behavior to women. There was a time where he had women on video saying he is innocent of crime. That makes it seem like a witch hunt. Yes women also claim to be victims. But we also have seen women take advantage of targeting wealthy and famous men. Regardless… what his supporting women and the Tates admit to is morally wrong. Supporting fair treatment under law is fine; praising him is not. Let’s see what happens with his court cases.
  8. Did "Trump" really support them? Or someone from his admin? Why does anyone support them? I get that they are anti woke and masculine but their treatment on women is repulsive. The Tate brothers do not make America great.
  9. Had it been classified, Hegseth and Waltz would be in review for willfully communicating classified info to someone without clearance. Hegseth’s communication was unintentional to an outsider but reckless and punishable. Waltz’s intent depends on whether he meant to add the reporter; then he left him in when sensitive info was shared. His own info sharing on positive ID has some risk. He’s probably in trouble. Ratcliffe is likely fine... Vance and the others would not have legal risk either way.
  10. The law does not list who the civilian should report it to. §793 is handled by the Department of Justice and the FBI is its investigative branch. A civilian could report it to their local police, who will report it to the FBI or he could phone 1-800-CALL-FBI. Had the information been classified, Goldberg could be reviewed for unauthorized possession and willful retention. He didn't share anything risky, just retained it for 10+ days. After the information was claimed as "not classified", he was good (a little grey area) to retain and share. So far as I can tell, Goldberg did not contact FBI, etc. agencies between receiving the information and publishing it. He did notify the White House on March 25th around noon as a journalistic heads-up.
  11. I'm holding off on calling it incompetence until more comes out. If it is, they’ve got some dumb luck. The mission worked out, and reading the chat, my respect for them increased. The casualness of the chat bothers me some. I’d never want to be the one thanking someone for a mission that ends lives without also acknowledging how unfortunate it is. ...but I suppose one hardens after tough choices becomes a way of life.
  12. cognitive ability doesn’t correlate with humility
  13. I don't need the answers to how Goldberg was added to understand that the people on the chat are punks. Intentional? No Intentional? Just say you made a mistake and own it. The denial and spin overshadows the win.
  14. The mindset is because he is a loser and based on the suckers and loser story, the perfect reporter.
  15. Because of the narrative and attention. I've never witnessed so much attention to a strike like this. But now I am reading and paying attention: Europe Is Incapable and Freeloading Waltz : "European navies do not have the capability to defend against the types of sophisticated, anti-ship, cruise missiles, and drones the Houthis are now using." Hegseth: "VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC." United States as Strong and Decisive Waltz: "Whether it’s now or several weeks from now, it will have to be the United States that reopens these shipping lanes." Hegseth: "We are prepared to execute … This [is] not about the Houthis … 1) Restoring Freedom of Navigation … 2) Reestablish deterrence, which Biden cratered." Hegseth: "Start this on our own terms … if we don’t act … this leaks, and we look indecisive." Ratcliffe: "CIA is mobilizing to support now." Even the spooks are in, showing all-hands commitment. America First: No Freeloading, Trump-Aligned Waltz: "[We’re] working with the defense and state departments to determine how to compile the cost associated and levy them on the Europeans – at Trump’s request." Miller: "The president was clear: green light, but … if the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return." Vance: "I just hate bailing Europe out again … The public may not understand why sending a message is necessary." Vance is not dissenting, just considering consistency. Leaders Care Vance: "I will say a prayer for victory." and emojis from others... Vance: ...Risk to increase of oil price...
  16. I wanted to work for the CIA or FBI in software engineering. Helping my country and get a pension? Yes please. But no thank you to the pay and relocation. Many smart tech folks say no to government work.
  17. The F9T53 OPSEC Special Bulletin doesn’t say 'Signal is insecure' in a technical sense. The encryption is not broken. Rather, it flags Signal as insecure in practice for DoD use due to phishing vulnerabilities exploited by Russian hackers. The phishing warning did not matter if Goldberg’s access was an invite error rather than a hack. The 'insecurity' was procedural. How could this have been prevented? Using a government or closed access app that a civilian could not use. This could still allow a wrong invite to a government worker on said app. There needs to be a closed access app that also has classification consideration that limits the qualifications of who is accidently invited due to human error. Ask yourself why signal is being used to begin with. (the alternatives must lack usability)
  18. Publishing before hand would be self-suicide. The practicality of publishing quickly enough for the target to understand/act is slim. The damage to the gov optics would be much worse. Has the US government ever shared information with reporters before strikes? (yes)
  19. I missed that. Did he directly state that he invited Goldberg by mistake because he shared the initials of another person? Does that change that it could be an intentional leak? Do we have reason to believe these people who were obviously lying are telling the truth with how Goldberg was added? Please explain how the VP is disagreeing with the president.
  20. What was the honest risk of including the reporter based on the material discussed?
  21. covert CIA operative? Ratcliffe testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee on March 25, 2025, that the "operative" was one of his aides and not undercover.
  22. If spotting a staged leak is convoluted, try explaining Goldberg’s invite as a whoopsie. ---- The least likely event is an accidental invite of a despised reporter. The obvious scenarios are a staffer, Russia via social engineering, or Waltz himself. Why would this chat, framing the U.S. as strong compared to Europe and Iran/Houthis as trade-route villains, include this reporter? A staffer might want to to embarrass Waltz/Hegseth, hoping to spark turnover. Who is this staffer and do they have access to Waltz device? Russia would go about this a different way. They wouldn't want to expose their insights, know it will give reason to cramp down. They also wouldn't benefit from leadership turnover or projection of America's strength. Remember... "Hegseth is unqualified"... so why would Russia want him out? It is unlikely that Waltz would knowingly end his career to embarrass Hegseth. Waltz, likely with a partner, staged this; the narratives are too sharp for chance.
  23. The CEO of tech companies get phished in internal security tests. Everyone is susceptible to a well orchestrated operation.
  24. This is correct. Signal has not been hacked. The risk is social engineering / phishing and that risk applies to all apps.
