That is quite astounding. I hope that there were other things in that bill that the Ds objected to but this is not a good look for Ds. This should be campaign fodder for all GOP candidates. mspart

I have read where Bragg has failed to prove or even address the crimes he alleges Trump did. And the prosecution is resting after putting up Michael Cohen. So the prosecution has not proven their case. Yes, they made Trump look bad, but did not prove the allegations made against him. The case is not about making him look bad, it is about tying him to a specific crime which they have not done. https://www.newsweek.com/alvin-bragg-not-close-tying-trump-fraudulent-scheme-jonathan-turley-1899678 https://reason.com/2024/05/15/the-heart-of-alvin-braggs-case-against-trump-is-misdirection/ https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/4656591-i-see-dead-people-alvin-braggs-case-against-trump-goes-paranormal/ mspart

Polling is interesting. https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2024/05/13/new-york-times-presidential-poll-donald-trump-joe-biden-battleground-states In a head-to-head matchup, Trump leads Biden by 12 percentage points among registered voters in Arizona, by 10 points in Georgia, by 7 points in both Michigan and Arizona, and by 3 points in Pennsylvania. Biden leads Trump in Wisconsin by 2 points. Biden is faring better among likely voters but still trails Trump in five of the six states. Biden leads only in Michigan by 1 percentage point while trailing narrowly in Wisconsin (1 point) and Pennsylvania (3 points). Trump leads among likely voters in Nevada by 13 points, by 9 points in Georgia, and by 6 points in Arizona. This is quite interesting because Biden won all of these in 2020. So Biden has not done well to keep those that voted for him before. Bad policies and results are the reason for this. mspart

On the other hand, you have Trump. I think his 4 years treated us well except for all the vitriol that was pushed his way and all of the foot in mouth moments that Trump self inflicted upon himself. So Trump's years were tumultuous from a news vision, but the years were calm as far as how his policies affected the economy and electorate. Keep in mind that Trump, that racist, was the first president to provide multi year funding to historic black colleges. They had to come to the president every year before that. He stopped that because it was not an effective use of time. That was one policy that made sense to me. I'm not sure I can think of a policy that was bad for the country. So that's what Trump brings - Good policy bad optics. This is preferable to bad policy and not good optics in my opinion. But just to be clear, I was hoping DeSantis would be the GOP pick. But that is not to be. mspart

Well, when you are the bad draw, that should be a medal. I count that as 57 and 74. 97 maybe. Snyder will be a bad draw up until the semis I think. But he has always medalled so he should figure out a way this time as well. I don't know about Brooks. Conceivably he is the bad draw. 65 is a disaster of a weight that anything can and usually does happen. Zain is a bad draw, but there are some hammers in there. 125 Mason is a bad draw until the semis I think. He medalled last year and should do so again. I can see 6 medals, but 4 is probably more realistic. But I have high hopes for this team. Team USA is the hammer this year. mspart

This will be fun to keep on top of as it unfolds. We all seem to have high expectations. But then comes the actual competition. I sure there will be upsets for us but on the whole, this looks like one of the best teams we have fielded in a long time. mspart

I agree, 6 medals are possible and should be considered probable. mspart

World OG qualifier brackets are out...
mspart replied to maligned's topic in International Wrestling
We have full MFS. I think we have full WFS as I don't see any US entrants in last chance (but I could be wrong and didn't see it). It looks like we have heaviest 3 weights for GR. mspart -

Yeah, I missed out over the weekend. I meant to follow but got busy with other things. Can any of you give the latest on how GR and WFS did? I know GR will not have a full team. What about WFS? mspart -

So it looks like Zain and Spencer punched their tickets. We have a full FS team in the Olys. mspart -
When government mandates raise the cost of labor, prices will necessarily rise. And that is not good for consumers, business owners, and workers. I was not citing real prices, it was an example of what high prices do. By the way, I've had the Double double at In n out. Was not impressed. My coworker couldn't stop talking about it so when I had a chance, I decided to go for it. Again, not impressed. I'll take BurgerMaster anyday. Local Seattle area joint that has the best burgers around. mspart

You ask Hamas who is responsible for the Gaza citizens and they will say the UN. They are not responsible and feel no responibility for these people. They are useful as human shields and nothing more. This explains why Gaza is so poor. All aid to Hamas goes to their military effort and not to the people. They must be fed by others. mspart

Yes, they are dumbfounded. NOT! mspart

DOJ would refuse to prosecute. End of story. Unless there is a big change made there. mspart

That's sad. I feel bad for our GR team. They really need some help the way the FS team has gotten help. mspart -
You are missing the obvious on purpose. Sinn Fein and it's military group used terror to get political change. Hamas uses terror tactics to destroy people who are Jewish. Sinn Fein's charter did not say eliminate Great Britain or all Protestants. Hamas' charter says they want to eliminate the Jewish state however that must be done. How can you have a political solution with an entity that wants you dead? Sinn Fein was not that way, Hamas is. You are arguing yourself into a very small and tight space that you cannot get out of. You can say all you want that Hamas did wrong on Oct 7 but the rest of what you say supports them. You cannot get out of that little box you have put yourself in. You can't have it both ways. You say Israel has a right to defend itself and Hamas did wrong on Oct 7. But then you say Hamas cannot and should not be eliminated and Israel can't fight a war not of their choosing but of necessity. You can't have it both ways. But yet you try. 2+2 does not equal 5 but you keep saying it does. Your arguments make no sense. They have no logic, but are illogical. mspart
