I like the IQ to pick up or neutral rather than the automatic down selection.

K achieved little beyond hopping OOB. Drake earned his lead, and it was entertaining to see K finally attack in the third period.

Drake, with the 3-2 advantage with one takedown against two escapes, was rewarded appropriately for his control going into the third period.

2024 will not have common ground. This video is 100% what to expect...

Is Oliver Stone the only Democrat who voted for Biden and immediately questioned the election results? Common Ground? November 2020 Although I voted for Biden, I can’t help but note that the Democrats haven’t cried foul over this weird election counting that we’re going through. What happened -- no Russian interference this time? I wish him well, really -- we all should, and hopefully, we’ll see Joe’s gentler side. Even if they stole it, “they stole it fair and square,” as Murray Chotiner tells Nixon in my ’95 film “Nixon,” referring to his 1960 defeat against JFK. https://www.facebook.com/TheOliverStone/posts/although-i-voted-for-biden-i-cant-help-but-note-that-the-democrats-havent-cried-/3783580218332916/ November 2023 17:46 Do you know for a fact that he lost? I am just curious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6mMt6-XsGM&t=1028s

Am I the only person who didn't know what Alexandra Pelosi had to say about J6 and her mother? ~ 6:50: “If J6 was an insurrection… you were supposed to have a plan! It was the sorriest insurrection in history” 2:43: “The Shaman did noth(ing)… What did the Shaman do? He stood there.” 41 months for that. 4:24: “After the Democrats lose the house, then they get rid of the committee, people may lose, I think, interest… no one is going to care after the democrats are out of power. And you take Biden out of office- then who cares!?” 4:50: “DC is a lot of people who work for the government. I don’t think they’re sympathetic. If you got it moved (changed trial jurisdiction from DC) you’d totally get off” (laughs while saying this) 8:11: “You’re going to be able to laugh about this one day” 9:36 "So glad I met you because the media makes you into monsters." 14:53: Pelosi talks about her friendship with Gavin McInnes and laughs at the notion that Proud Boys are white supremacists. https://rumble.com/v29uq16-exclusive-nancy-pelosis-daughter-caught-on-tape-admitting-jan.-6-protests-n.html ~ J6 largely being a bunch of normies used by proud boys on a dark day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln4wruy-6NE ~ Nancy Pelosi will cut your head off and you won't even know you are bleeding https://twitter.com/CNNThisMorning/status/1080470121141788674 Alexandra's comments lead me to believe she disagrees with Nancy's political rhetoric and spin that J6 was mob of domestic terrorists. "Two years ago today, our nation watched in horror as a terrorist mob stormed the Capitol grounds in a violent attempt to subvert the peaceful transfer of power. "The January 6th insurrection shook our Republic to its core – and left behind physical scars and emotional trauma on members of our Congressional community and our Country that endure to this day. What was a day of unimaginable horror was also a moment of extraordinary heroism, as courageous law enforcement officers stared down the insurrectionists to protect the Capitol. We are forever grateful to these heroes, and we continue to pray for the fallen, the afflicted and their families. "Yet the violent assault did not deter us from upholding our oath. On January 6th, we returned to the Chamber and certified the election results to prove to the world that our Democracy stood strong. And with patriotism and persistence, the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack worked on a bipartisan basis to uncover the truth of that dark day. https://pelosi.house.gov/news/press-releases/pelosi-statement-on-two-years-since-january-6th-insurrection

I have thick enough skin to shrug off the punches and share my views. Abortion, environment, voting, and LGBTQ rights were covered in the first response. It is of little value to weigh in on abstract concepts, and I’ll say please again… what are OP views? Voting rights act of 1964 100% support. Separately on voting, I haven’t thought deeply through nuance considerations around age, civics knowledge, societal contributions, etc. I am pro citizen proof. As the father of teenagers, I question youthful maturity. Should the citizen have a developed brain of a 25 year old to vote? As a responsibility/contributor guy, should the non retired citizen have held a job for some period in the previous year? Should the voter have passed the same civic test the legal immigrants citizens do? I want to make it as easy as possible for qualified citizens to vote. Multiple voting days. Voting holiday should be the biggest celebration of all holidays. Environmental protection Super necessary, depending. Incarceration of low level non violent offenses Lengthy incarceration for low level offenses can make a bad situation worse. Often a bad use of my tax dollars. Example situation. There is no need to incarcerate someone for doing drugs that only impact themself. When the crime impacts others, incarceration may be necessary. What nuanced situations are you thinking about? Policing in the US Needs to be much more heavy handed and funded in the worst blocks of the most violent neighborhoods. Broken windows policy… ——- My views originate with the golden rule. I don’t need to infringe on you/others unless you/others are infringing on the rights of me/others. The government and others should treat me the same way.

Please kick the conversation off with your views as a sign of good faith and to set the bar.

Here is more to ponder.

Ah, but do you grasp the essence of my statements regarding J6? There is a difference between expressing a nuanced viewpoint and actively sympathizing with or endorsing criminal behavior. The differentiation is important, and the meaning is large. Concerning conspiracy, I hope we can all acknowledge that people sometimes conceal the truth. Who do you instinctively mistrust due to their secrets? Why do you mistrust them? What if this person was in power? Or perhaps they already have power? Many people (not just Democrats) suspected irregularities in the 2000 and 2016 presidential elections. I confess. I believe there are irregularities in the 2020 election data, and my suspicions heightened due to the perceived lack of transparency.

Hawaii's citizen population changed by 0.6% between 2016 and 2020.

Numbers are interesting. Arizona ------------- The state flipped from red to blue by 10K votes. The percent of voting citizens increased by 32%. (880K) The percent of registered voters increased by 23%. (733K) The citizen population increased by 10%. (490K) The state allows family members, household members, or caregivers to return mail ballot. Any unauthorized person who knowingly collect ballots is subject to felony charges (Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 16-1005). It used to be legal to return mail ballots on behalf of citizens. That led to scenarios like this (link). Georgia ------------- The state flipped from red to blue by 12K votes. The percent of voting citizens increased by 15%. (642K) The percent of registered voters increased by 7%. (341K) The citizen population increased by 5%.

Something to behold. Vivek shows how to share views while maintaining respect. -
Good conversations and shifts in thinking can happen anywhere. Be friendly, open to new ideas, and a good listener. Discussing views with folks who share your love for wrestling is great! It's a middle ground between strangers and family—having a common interest creates trust and a (somewhat) comfortable space for non-wrestling discussion.

MJ released the J6 videos that show undercover cops in the J6 crowds. Read this article and stay patient to determine what is confirmed over time. "Go, Go, Go!" https://justthenews.com/accountability/congress-has-obtained-bodycams-undercover-cops-who-conducted-surveillance-jan-6

My view of the forest. 4D chess. The deep state and FBI leadership are anti-Trump and pro-establishment. Trump has the huge support of anti-establishment people. There are not enough crazy people in this developed country to actually reinstate Trump as president through violence. By influencing the events and propagandizing 'violent insurrection,' the deep state continues its aggressive attempts from removing Trump to never allowing him to run for president again. -

The FBI has people in it, and people are partisan. Search "FBI is not a political arm of the White House" What do you see? "The FBI Wasn't Supposed to Be Political—But It Has Been Since the Beginning" -
