How to think critically about what the media is telling you?
mspart replied to jross's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
The Hugh Hewitt thing was quite remarkable. Even after Bezos told his folks that they were not trusted, Hewitt tries to tow that line and is completely shot down. Bezos should fire those two immediately. mspart -
I only know of three cases and those are not done with the appeals. First case he was found liable for sexual harrassment. The plaintiff couldn't even state when it happened. How do you have a jury that finds liability for something that the accuser doesn't remember when it happened? Good question, there is no good answer. Second, Trump found guilty in overvaluing his property even though there was no one to accuse him of wrong doing other than the prosecutor. That is under appeal as well. Third, Trump found guilty in a case where a misdemeanor that was beyond the statute of limitations was resurrected to become a felony because the misdemeanor was pursuant to another crime. Never mind the Feds refused to prosecute, NYC decided to do it. As has been stated here many times, the "another crime" was never stipulated in the indictment, and the judge told the jury they didn't have to agree what he did, just that he did something and that would count as a verdict of guilty. That one also is under appeal and not finished. So he has lost 3 of 3 since leaving the WH as far as I know. But these will surely be overturned on appeal, at least the last two. So that will be 66.67% winning if he wins the two and 100% if he wins the three appeals. mspart

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_and_business_legal_affairs_of_Donald_Trump ... From 1973 until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in United States federal and state courts, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes. ... Of all cases with a clear resolution, Trump was the victor 92 percent of the time. Looks like his record is pretty good. mspart

https://www.foxnews.com/media/cbs-60-minutes-airs-two-different-answers-from-vp-harris-same-question CBS '60 Minutes' airs two different answers from VP Harris to the same question CBS aired two different answers to the same question in its "60 Minutes" interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, replacing a clip from the Democratic nominee that aired on "Face the Nation" Sunday when the interview package aired in a primetime special on Monday. Harris was mocked by conservatives when footage of her offering a lengthy "word salad" that was aired by CBS on Sunday’s "Face the Nation" to promote the "60 Minutes" sit-down, when Bill Whitaker asked why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the United States. However, the vice president’s lengthy answer didn’t make the version that aired on Monday night on "60 Minutes" and a shorter, more focused answer to the same question was shown instead. "Well Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region," Harris responded in the "Face the Nation" version. Sometimes interviews are edited to save time, but when CBS aired the interview on Monday night, Harris had a different answer to the exact same question. "We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end," Harris said. It is unclear why CBS aired two different answers to the same question. However, CBS has posted both clips on YouTube. CBS News did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Trump campaign called for CBS to release the full interview unedited on Tuesday. mspart

Curious about how everyone is feeling about
mspart replied to WrestlingRasta's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
We visited my wife's aunt in Enterprise Oregon which is very small and impossible to get to. The big town is La Grande Oregon!! Anyway, on our way back home I wanted to go through Walla Walla WA, because I had never been there. Doesn't everyone want to say they've been to Walla Walla? Now I can. Just before crossing the border into WA, we went through Milton-Freewater, a little town so far out of the way that they do their sports in WA. Gas was roughly 50 cents cheaper in Milton-Freewater than it was 20 minutes away in Walla Walla. Now Walla Walla is easier to get to for gas delivery than Milton-Freewater, you would think it would be the other way around. But it was cheaper in Milton-Freewater. All thanks to the CO2 credits producers have to buy to make petrol. And they charge that back to the consumer of course. mspart -
Whoops, there goes mail in voting!! mspart

Interesting how the blindfolded who can't/won't see what is right if front of them make fun of those who can/will. The topic of censorship is not even a debate anymore. It happened, it is happening, and the government and political leaders are promising more if given the chance. It's all fun and games until you finally find yourself without the freedom to express yourself freely. And then it is too late. mspart

His last two UFC bouts lacked fire. He was tentative in both bouts and as a result lost. mspart -

mspart replied to WrestlingRasta's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
WA is 3.99/gallon for cheap gas. 4.44/gallon diesel. That is the cheapest. I see these prices on my way to and from work. The last station I pass is 4.99/gallon both cheap gas and diesel. I'm not sure how they sell any petrol but they are still there. We have the one the highest gas taxes and then we have a CO2 addition that makes our gas 2 most expensive in the nation. There is an initiative on the ballot to remove the CO2 aspect of the added cost to gas, diesel, nat gas, propane, home heating if you use nat gas, and all the food and goods that are delivered by trucks powered by the same. mspart -
On to the flaming ballot boxes. Not only was the car a volvo that carried the perps, but the incendiary devices said Free Gaza. https://apnews.com/article/ballot-drop-box-fires-portland-vancouver-60fea753ceb761624e6aba49f0e9dd99 Sounds like a nasty Trump loving deplorable piece of garbage if you ask me. mspart

WA is all mail in vote. My wife and I voted yesterday. Will mail it in today. Mail in vote has its problems no doubt. But the fact you get to review the ballot for hours if you want to is nice. Being surprised by the contents of the ballot at the voting booth I never liked. That said, I do like voting in person and showing ID and I think that is the best way to handle voting. Even with that, we had some weird election results before mail in voting. We've had more since. There is always a way to find more ballots it seems. Before mail in, the governors race was won on the 3rd recount paid for by the democrat. Mysteriously, a bunch of ballots were found in the trunk of a car. The D won that last recount after the R had won the vote, and two recounts. mspart

Why are we still having 3+ hour lines to vote? Serious question. mspart

2024 UWW Senior World Championships...
mspart replied to D3 for LU's topic in International Wrestling
Vito for bronze, DT in repechage. Green and Burroughs out. Not how this was expected to go I think. But it is not surprising. JB has been at this a long time and and Father time was bound to get the best of him. But he did better than most anyone his age in the highest level of sport. Green has been our best for a long time. Thank you JB and JG for all the years of excitement you have provided us. Best of luck to Vito and DT in your upcoming matches!! mspart -
2024 UWW Senior World Championships...
mspart replied to D3 for LU's topic in International Wrestling
So Sad was losing right up to the last few seconds when he got a 4 pointer? That is amazing and does not spell good things for DT if he makes it to the Bronze medal match against the Iranian. That actually says a lot of for the Iranian. Sad did what Sad does which is win, but he rarely is in the position of being behind and needing a herculean effort to win. Great that he did but I think this says a lot for Ghasempour. mspart -

Have the other weights finished their semis? Not watching the matches, just on UWW getting updates and they are not as fast as you guys. mspart -

I heard on the radio today that the drop box fire in Vancouver was preceded by one in Portland. In both cases it was a Volvo that drove up. Just more info. SVERGE!!!!! mspart

There are plenty around here. I had a couple of them on the first wrestling team I was asst coach for. They would go around yelling Sverge!! all the time. I think they were 2nd generation from Sweden. That was back in 1989/1990. They are old and decrepit by now!!! mspart

That sure seems to be the case, even with Kamala. When asked how she'll be different than Biden, she'll say "first I am a woman so that is different, and also I'm not Trump, You know I have been saying I'll be different but I'll be different than the last decade and you know who was in charge during the last decade. That's right and he was very divisive and did a horrible job and I will not be like him." That makes you wonder who she is talking about!!! But her idea of different does not mean different necessarily from Biden, it's from Trump or Obama or whoever she is talking about there. mspart
