First you have to define unethically. I think you would have an argument there. The number of justices stayed the same so it is not like the court was packed like the Ds are proposing by adding justices. 3 Vacancies came Trump's way and he filled them. 1 came Biden's way and he filled that. There is nothing unethical about either of these. As of now it is moot to change the number of justices. Won't happen this year or next. Gotta wait for the next election. But changing the number of justices to pack the court is like a kid losing a baseball game who takes his ball and his bat and goes home and the game ends because they were using his ball and bat. D's had the majority for decades and they feel it is their right to maintain that. But it is not their right to have that maintained as we see. So they want to pack the court with D justices by adding 6 or 7 new justices, hopefully really young, so they can maintain a majority on the court for a really long time. There's just something really immature about that way of thinking, as per the analogy. mspart

I watch from time to time but I would not say I am hooked on it. mspart

There may be that, but what does it say about Threads? mspart

And Abbigail Wheeler is the bad guy here? mspart

Thank you PNW. Much appreciated. Looks like generally a fine day. Too bad Dake and Taylor were absent. 7 weights, 3 gold 1 silver 1 bronze. Not bad. mspart

I can't find results. Can someone post the results? mspart

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4092893-mika-brzezinski-scolds-bidens-staff-i-dont-think-they-do-a-good-job/ MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski tore into President Biden’s aides and staffers Wednesday for what she described as a lack of competence in managing his public appearances. “I think his staff needs to own his age. I’m going to be honest, I don’t think they do a good job helping out the president,” Brzezinski said on “Morning Joe.” “I’m just saying if you are managing a president’s schedule and a president getting on stage and off stage … and yes, he’s 80. You need to be there for him, and you need to make a pathway, and you sure as hell better make sure he doesn’t fall on a sandbag. And I blame the staff for that.” This is really saying a lot!! The guy doesn't know where he is half the time and has to be directed where to go or where to stand. So it is his aide's fault for not directing him. Wouldn't that look just as awkward? She agrees with you SH. mspart

They can't be seen answering questions with facts or statements relevant to the question. mspart

Meredith is making a name for himself in Bellator. Hopefully JO come out to win decisively. mspart

Ha!! I lived in Huntsville AL age 1-11. Born in Seattle, lived in Bellevue, WA from age 11-18. Huntsville is close to Mississippi but I think I have only been in that state once. mspart

Well, he didn't pin him. So his effort was just not enough. Bad mark system. mspart

I wrestled in WA and no I did not have a lot of success. I never went to State. In 10th grade I just missed by one match going to State. I should have won that match but my head wasn't in it. 11 grade I got Russian Flu just before the tourney time. 12 grade I hyperextended my elbow Spraining it badly and that ended my season. I feel I was on a path to go to State that year, but was injured. My elbow still does not straighten out after all these years. Never wrestled college but did win one season of Intramural Wrestling. Also I participated in various old man wrestling tourneys including 3 US Veterans Championships. So I kept my hand in it but never did very good. I just love the sport but was never super good at it. I was adequate enough to help coach kids though. And that was really the most fulfilling and enjoyable. I quit the coaching thing a few years ago as my body hurt for months after the season. Just too old to do that stuff anymore. mspart

I was doing plastering in Phoenix. We felt pretty bad for the road workers and the roofers. But then I went inside one of the buildings and there was no breeze, it was just still air, oppresively hot. And the dry wallers had to work in that. So I had sympathy for them too. mspart

OK, but you excused a Muslim but not the Christian in your earlier post. If you hold both to the same standard, that is at the very least consistent. mspart

I worked construction in Phoenix while I was in college. Outside work. Miserable in the summer. mspart

Fair response. My mistake, I was on the wrong thread. My apologies. mspart

Why are you dodging the question Vak? mspart

Exito!! mspart

Vak, would you hold it against a Muslim if he/she wouldn't make a website for gay people? Using your example, I'm sure there's nothing in the Koran that says they can't do that. mspart

Doesn't the term bonus hole sound like that is a good thing to have? It's a bonus? Isn't that an attack on those without a bonus hole? In trying to be gender neutral, they are actually being gender specific. This is pathetic by any standard. mspart

I say Congress should pass a bill that disallows Bob Dole from voting anymore. Him being an R, I would think Biden would sign that quickly. He probably doesn't know Bob now votes D. mspart

We are having cooler temps in the Seattle Area. In fact we are heading to Oahu next week to get some sun and warm ha ha! mspart

Well, that is your opinion Bob. I have to say I don't subscribe to it. Your opinion is nothing more than a caricature. But you are welcome to it. Live in your little bubble. At least you know I answered your question directly, unlike the press secretary. But even with my answer, you disregarded it much like you judge of me. Projection seems a logical conclusion. mspart

Well, Bob, at least that would be a direct answer to the question. By not answering the question, the question remains. Would I have believed her? Probably, until proven otherwise. Would I believe her now, no. To handle this better, she could have said, "No, this is not the Biden family's cocaine. What an irresponsible line of questioning. blah blah blah..." She could have gotten her licks in while actually answering the question. By not answering it, that leaves a question for everyone to ask themselves - why did she not answer the question? Probably because it does belong to one of the Bidens and she doesn't want to overtly lie. mspart

It may not be rare, but it is still illegal by Federal Law. And having it on Federal property such as the WH makes the possession of it even worse. I am not saying that it is Hunter's. I was only pointing out the consequences for him if it were found to be his. It is interesting when the WH Press Secretary was asked if it belonged to the Biden Family, she said that was an irresponsible question to ask. As for the question, she never directly answered it Yes or No. So even the WH press corps are keeping the speculation alive. mspart
