Gotta say I loved watching that show. The full movie was way too much. But the show was pretty good, Great White North!! mspart

Bwa ha ha ha ha mspart

That's a good one eh. mspart

LJB is the forum man mspart

Nice poster!! He needs a repeating cross bow and a device that throws throwing stars. mspart

Mike, I'm not sure how you can say that but that is a difference of opinion and tough to argue. You like Biden, you see what he is doing is good. I don't like Biden and I see what he is doing as not good. At least a good portion is not good. If the bullet points I made about his performance does not move you, then I guess you like "40 year high inflation, Afghanistan military evacuation horrible, the amount of clout the US has in the world right now has dropped (he cant even get Saudi to give us oil), war on domestic petroleum production, debacle with baby formula, complete abrogation of responsibility at the border." It seems to me that all of these things are at the feet of Joe. I will not disagree with Trump is toxic. But he has no say in who else runs in the primary. I personally do not think his style will work again, scorched earth take no prisoners. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/11/14/texas-voters-ron-desantis-donald-trump/ I would say this website tells the story about R support for Trump. All can see how his candidates did. I think most Rs will be looking for someone else. I know that independents will. The D's would rather vote for a dead man than Trump so they don't need convincing. mspart

I can't follow that reasonably. mspart

When you have to explain the funny ...... mspart

I believe it is a national security issue, which makes it not a D or R issue. If we can't manufacture our own goods, then how are we secure as a nation? We are only as secure as the countries that do produce our goods will sell them to us. If they stop, we are in a world of hurt. A service economy doesn't produce anything of value. Producing something of value is what brings security. If we made our own steel, and our own I-phones and computers etc, we would be in a very strong position. Case in point - Russia produces a lot of natural gas and petroleum. However, if you support Ukraine and/or denounce Russia, your supply is cut off or reduced greatly. This is happening in Europe. Those that depend on Russia for energy now need to look elsewhere. If that is not a national security issue for those in Europe, I don't know what is. Labor costs here in USA are high and that is why things get made in China and shipped here. Shipping costs seem like they should be outrageous but they are not in comparison to their cost of labor vs ours. We need to do more to keep what manufacturing we have here, and to bring back what manufacturing we have lost back here. mspart

Yes not a bad take. But it is 2 years too late and the news was suppressed from a sizable group that got their news via twitter. mspart

It's werewolves. Van Helsing proved it. mspart

With the revelations regarding Hillary and her and DNC handling of the Steele Dossier, and her email catastrophe, I think the vote for Trump was correct. JRoss hit the high points. What Trump said and tweeted was not always good. What he did as policy decisions benefited the country for the most part. It was predictable that Biden would not benefit the country and that has been borne out by the news. If anyone thinks the country is in a better place now overall, than 4 years ago, there is some extreme ostrich head in the sand action going on. 40 year high inflation, Afghanistan military evacuation horrible, the amount of clout the US has in the world right now has dropped (he cant even get Saudi to give us oil), war on domestic petroleum production, debacle with baby formula, complete abrogation of responsibility at the border. More and more deficit spending that was called non-inflationary. An "Inflation Reduction Act" that was not. This is what we have after only 2 years of Biden. Should be tempered with the House in control of the opposing party. Split government is good, as generally nothing but the most important things get done. Even those that wanted Biden and voted for him are rethinking because neither he nor his vice president can make a coherent argument about what they are doing. Hunter Biden's laptop is becoming bigger news now with CBS finally saying "it was a real story" and with Twitter now releasing documents showing the collusion with certain folks in the FBI that wanted Trump out. Why is this happening now? To set the stage to allow Biden not to run again and bring someone in who doesn't have the mental deterioration and baggage that he has. You think Kamala will be the one to move forward? Remember the D primary in 2020, when she got zero traction and was forced out before the first primary. She had zero democratic support. It will be someone else. But the stage is being set. mspart

You know you could be right eh. Only a hoser like you would say something like that eh. mspart

I made an educated guess. mspart

So is Spencer Lee . He will remain so for quite some time. mspart

By George, he got it. mspart

Tough way to make a living that's for sure. mspart

I agree. But it is an interesting thought. mspart

Good for MN. Maybe they will be able to do well this year after so many years not doing as well. They were a premier team a few decades ago, winning the national championship a few times. mspart

True that. mspart

I have no ill will for Cox. But he is perfectly positioned at 92Kg. Why the Oly's only allow 6 weights is incomprehensible and a crime. Yes I know they want to limit the medals and the time spent on the mat, those are not good reasons in my opinion. Thankfully, UWW added the other 4 weights back for off Oly year competition. He has medalled every time he has made it to the big dance and that is saying something. I just do not give him much chance in beating Snyder much less medalling at 97Kg. Too many horses there. But who knows, maybe he will be the new Horse. But I honestly don't think so. mspart

With this I agree. Cox has the tools, sometimes underperforms. Snyder has the tools and hardly ever underperforms. I can see working a full year on getting to size and all that. Everyone has their own way of looking at things and he obviously thinks he can be successful at 97Kg so kudos to him for making the move. I just don't see him being successful at it barring a Snyder injury or lack of focus (which rarely happens). mspart

Interesting idea. He completely dominated college wrestling as a coach for years. He may have done better these days but his mindset of nose to the grindstone doesn't sit as well these days with youngsters as much as having fun. Maybe having fun is all in the attitude. Obviously the PSU guys grind it out but they think it is fun. Perhaps Iowa's guys think it is hard work. Both are the top 2 teams in the nation with two different philosophies. Cael somehow has made it work and made it work fairly quickly. Prescient he was padawan. mspart

The Huskies did very well. mspart

Not my strongsuit, counting five. mspart
