Underaged drinking decreased when IDs became required. https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/underage-drinking/minimum-legal-drinking-age.html I don't recall if its the laws or policy but another change occurred ~20 years back where everyone under 40 had to be carded, all people always had to be carded, cashier couldn't ring up alcohol unless card was scanned, etc. The secret shopper actions occurred, issuing fines and suspending liquor licenses, etc. Requiring IDs has been effective for alcohol. Enforcement of IDs is more effective.

She should be fired for lack-of-progress to reduce illegal immigration.

My overall point is that the best wrestlers are not in the Olympics on any given year, and no asterisk is required. Is it a more challenging to win a tournament with these wrestlers? Rank Name Country Previous 1 Zaurbek Sidakov RUS 1 2 Kyle Dake USA 2 3 Cherman Valiev ALB 3 4 Jason Nolf USA 4 5 Jordan Burroughs USA 5 6 Magomedkhabib Kadimagomedov BLR 6 7 Anzor Zakuev RUS NR 8 David Baev RUS 7 9 Daichi Takatani JPN 8 10 Tajmuraz Salkazanov SVK 9 11 Razambek Zhamalov UZB 11 12 Viktor Rassadin TJK NR 13 Georgios Kougioumtsidis GRE 10 14 Khetik Tsabolov SRB 12 15 Ali Abbas Rezaei IRI NR 16 Turan Bayramov AZE 13 Or Rank Name Country Previous 1 Kyle Dake United States 2 2 Daichi Takatani Japan 4 3 Tajmuraz Salkazanov Slovakia 5 4 Razambek Zhamalov Uzbekistan NR 5 Viktor Rassadin Tajikistan 6 6 Cherman Valiev Albania 7 7 Georgios Kougioumtsidis Greece 8 8 Khetik Tsabolov Serbia 9 9 Turan Bayramov Azerbaijan 10 10 Younes Emami Iran 11 11 Geandry Garzon Cuba 13 12 Amr Hussen Egypt 14 13 Anthony Montero Venezuela 15 14 Iman Mahdavi Refugee Team NR 15 Bacar Ndum Guinea-Bissau 16 Sidakov lost to Bizhoev a couple months before Worlds. 2023 Worlds would have been more challenging if Bizhoev was allowed to participate as opposed to Anthony Wesley (Cape Verde). There is no need for an asterisk at 74KG.

That is a valid point. Is there an asterisk for Sidakov winning 2023 World's in September when Timur Bizhoev was not in the bracket? No. Bizhoev beat Sidakov in the 2023 July Commonwealth Cup Sidakov did not have to beat Bizhoev to become the WC Russian rep

We know this forum did something good when there is enough interest for trolls and sock puppets.

Dimwits are easily mislead by selective framing. Job loss was caused by a pandemic rather than economic conditions. True job creation implies generating new employment opportunities that didn't exist before, rather than restoring previous ones. It was job recovery with the resumption of normal activities. It was not a growth achievement due to new initiatives and policies. Remember that Trump says "Drill baby drill" and Biden canceled projects and took steps to limit domestic oil and gas development. Biden was focused on speeding up the transition to green energy. One would assume gas prices to be higher under Biden based on their words and actions. You don't even need to know that the price of gas is more complex than the policies or lack of policies from Trump and Biden. Excluding the very low prices during the pandemic, current gas prices are still higher under Biden than Trump. Given all this context and surface expectation that Biden sucks on energy prices... what does Biden claim? First he has no responsibility for higher gas prices because it is beyond his control. Then he claims success when gas prices drop by a dollar without mentioning the price was still a dollar higher than previous. Job creation and gas prices are false achievements.

Not my fault says the president... lies....

Another narcissist, anonymous sock puppet.

Is there an asterisk if Yaz wins, given the favored Taylor will not be there? No. Is there an asterisk if the favored wrestler is upset early, and the eventual champ doesn't wrestle them? No. Is there an asterisk when there are wrestlers at home that are better than the competitors in the bracket? No. Is there an asterisk from 2022 when Fujinami Akari missed the WC with an injury, and Dom Parrish won gold? No. Is there an asterisk when Iran loses to Israel by faked injury? No. The official record and recognition of the champion remains valid.

people will vote for Biden if he is in a coma https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4756402-msnbc-joy-reid-biden-vote/amp/ or dead https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/-i-d-still-vote-for-biden-if-he-was-dead-pa-voters-react-to-trump-biden-2024-rematch-194683973849 or head in a jar of blue liquid https://www.newsweek.com/bill-maher-joe-biden-donald-trump-election-2024-republicans-democrats-1884079

No asterisk

Wow! Younger Generation (18-29) Grows Wiser Despite Liberal Media Propaganda

Conservative view points remain disappointingly low but headed in the best direction. Thanks for sharing.

No, no, no. This will not do. One must take the words of the Terrible Trump, Bumbling Biden, etc. out of context to distort their intended meaning. One inserts this misinformation like a suppository, then spew it repeatedly until it sticks, ensuring confusion and false beliefs spread. And then marvel at the absurdity of transforming smart people into fools.

Did you @Wrestleknownothing and @Camel Wrestling Fan watch the video with context from page 6? Chris Rock joke.

Context much? Some quotes without context... Biden told service members “clap for that you stupid bastards.” described Barack Obama as the "First mainstream African-American who is bright, articulate, and clean." told black people "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black." said "I don't want my kids going to a racial jungle." Obama said "A plantation. Black people in the worst jobs. The worst housing. Police brutality rampant. But when the so-called black committeemen came around election time, we'd all line up and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Sell our souls for a Christmas turkey. White folks spitting in our faces, and we’d reward ‘em with the vote." Agave said that 17 million people are dumb

This was a great read, thank you!

Whether it's dunderheads, dullards, nitwits, or numbskulls... these are softer jabs at those ignoramuses spreading debunked hoaxes as undeniable truths. See the Bo is a Trumper topic as exhibit A.

Referring to Biden as honest and competent. Kudos to your humor.

Better to be a "bot" than a "sock puppet."

...an ad hominem attack to evade that James Carville is the one speaking.

Hmm... the Chris Rock joke?

Decentralized fact-checking systems like community notes can't cure the psychological and social biases that make people cling to their politicians' and mainstream media's narratives. Think Trump's character flaws make everything said about him and conservatives true? No, you dullards.

X is 100% better for us because we decide what information is shared rather than a few editors with agendas. Imagine how many nit wits would believe all the information hoaxes without Twitter.
