Happy Thanksgiving to all y'all. mspart

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden_laptop_controversy In September 2023, Hunter Biden filed a civil lawsuit against Giuliani, his companies and attorney Robert Costello, alleging that they had spent years "hacking into, tampering with, manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over data that they were given that was taken or stolen from" his personal devices and caused "total annihilation" of his digital privacy. So Hunter admits the laptop was his. Conspiracy theory #1 confirmed. A nothing burger that contains emails that confirm Joe Biden KNEW about his son's business dealings and met with his son's domestic and foreign business partners either in person or on phone. This contradicts Joe's campaign and later while President assertion that he knew nothing about Hunter's business. But he did. Conspiracy theory #2 confirmed. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fbi-verified-authenticity-of-hunter-biden-s-abandoned-laptop-in-november-2019-irs-whistleblower/ar-AA1cU3Iu Most news outlets ignored the laptop’s contents until well after Biden won the 2020 election, with the Washington Post and New York Times saying only in March 2022 that they had confirmed the authenticity of files. Again we have confirmation that the laptop and files belonged to Hunter Biden. Further confirmation that conspiracy theory #1 was true. So your assertion that NYP "dutifully produced what Trump said they would", is an absolute misrepresentation of the truth. Hunter is suing because the laptop contained info he didn't want out there and the WAPO and NYT have confirmed the authenticity of the files. NYP did nothing wrong here, they published the information which has later been confirmed. Sorry Plasi but your revision of history doesn't stand up. Twitter deleted information that was true. You like that? That is a good thing? And the effect that had on the election is incalculable. https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2020/nov/26/cooper-biden-voters/ One in six Biden voters would have changed their minds if they had known the full story Might that have moved the election? Possibly. So burying this was good in your opinion? That's crazy. It goes to show you are more political than moral. You would rather have Biden win under suspicious circumstances than Trump win out in the open. That mindset is how democracy is lost. It isn't Trump that is a danger to democracy, it is that mindset that the ends justify the means that is a danger to democracy. People come and go, but closely held beliefs are tough to change, especially when one is not open to the truth. mspart

The Lee Megaludis match was pretty good. Both were after it. It just appeared to me that Lee was in control almost the entire match. That said, Megaludis is really good and I expect if he makes it to OTTs he will be a force. I'm sure he learned from this match as well as Lee. Lee allowed his back to be exposed more than I would have expected. There is a question whether he initiated some of this but I think he needs to work on that. The leg lace defense of Megaludis was great. I haven't seen anyone get torqued on like that since Joe Williams defended a leg lace and must have broken some of his bones. I can't remember who had it on him but he would not go over. I saw it in person so it must have been at US Nationals in Vegas one of those long years ago. I only have seen one WTT and Zero OTTs in person. So it wasn't one of those. mspart

I'm confused at what you are saying Plasi. Here is what we know: 1. Hunter's laptop is Hunter's? 2. There are many records that implicate him doing illegal things on it and this does make it relevant. What we know about what was said about it and chain of custody: 1. FBI was provided the laptop in 2019. They did not say anything about it. 2. Oct 2020, NYP published a detailed article about the laptop with information of the contents. 3. 50 intelligence folks said that the NYP and talk of the laptop was most likely Russian Disinformation. 4. NYP placed the article on Twitter, which deleted it and the NYP account so no one could access it via their social media website. It is now known this was coordinated with the Feds via the Twitter Files. 5. How would this information have affected the election. No one knows for sure. But Items 1, 3-4 above made sure as few people knew about it as possible. Why would they do that? Obviously they felt like this would have an election impact. This is just one situation and resulting many ways the 2020 election was tampered with. mspart

No that never happens. mspart

Very interesting jross. Thank you for posting. mspart

Is Mark Schultz just cleaning out the closets or is he in need of cash for some reason? Sad if the latter. mspart

Spencer Lee has now set the precedent of not getting the 4th national title. Will Stalrocci or Brooks follow in his footsteps? mspart

Top Ten 1. John Smith 2. Big Bruce 3. JB 4. KS 5. Dave Schultz 6. Kenny Monday 7. Mark Schultz 8. Dake 9. Taylor 10 Cox I could be persuaded to change my mind, but just sitting here thinking about it, these are the top 10, maybe not in the order given but I think these are the top 10. mspart

Jden looks like he is back to 100% physically. That's good. I don't think he goes down to Taylor, he couldn't make 97 two years ago. He goes 97 and hits a roadblock named Snyder. Unless he has improved greatly, I don't see him getting over or around the roadblock. But I am very happy that Jden has recovered and seems to be back in shape. mspart

Isn't that an even 7' tall? Seems like the wrong sport for this guy. mspart

It is still twitter.com. Put in x.com and it converts to twitter.com. So it is not X, formerly known as twitter. It is still twitter even after all these months. I would think it would be the other way around. Put in twitter.com and it transfers you to x.com. I find this interesting. mspart

I guess that answers the question for 57kg. mspart

OK, I get that. How did he convince so many of the righteousness of his cause when any outsider could look inside and know immediately something was seriously wrong? How did he find equally evil men like Himmler and Goebbels etc to do this evil work? My wife read a book on this and many of the German people were like he's a kook but he can't get his kooky ideas done because we are a good society and we have means to thwart him. But he changed the calculus and the courts etc and then there was nowhere to turn to. The courts ruled in favor of the Nazis consistently, which many Germans didn't think could happen. They became a full on dictatorship seemingly overnight. It wasn't but it was sneaky so it felt like it. mspart

You don't think China will act in the US best interests? mspart

Whatever happens, it will most likely be exciting. I would think that everyone, but Zain, will want to try to qualify the weights. This could be very intriguing. mspart

I'll go with the average. There will be 7.5 teams with a champion this year! mspart

WR - What is interesting about this? Just one or two examples would be much appreciated. mspart

I would think that part of the repentance process for such a person is to go through the legal system. So whether a clergyman or a psychiatrist or other kind of shrink, or lawyer with those "secrecy" privileges, I don't think it is wrong to report the sexual abuse. There are more than 2 ways to look at this and I am only considering the 2 ways and choosing one. Paramount is the protection of the child. How to do that without reporting the perpetrator if he/she is part of the family is something I cannot fathom. I see the opposite point but I am clear on protecting the child. mspart

Nice mspart

I think this is not an issue. I don't think many people have a negative view on civil rights towards the lgbtq community. They can choose to live how they want. That does not mean I have to agree with their opinion, position, or delusion. That does not mean I have to support them. I can accept them without supporting them. They can do what they want as long as they are adults. Moving to do gender affirming care with drugs and surgery on minors is a step too far and that is where the arguments are mostly at. Minors are minors because they do not have the ability to think clearly on the consequences of their actions. That is why they are minors. This is clearly stated in the bodily and brain function sciences as well as behavioral sciences. Yes, they say they want A, but tomorrow they may want B instead. That is part of growing up and learning consequences for behavior. It is morally wrong to inflict medicines that can cause irreversible effects or surgeries that also do the same on someone who may live to regret it. No one knows who those people are but it is demonstrable that they are there. This is no different that NC-17 or X ratings on movies. This is no different than not selling tobacco to minors. This is no different than keeping sudafed out of the hands of minors. This is why guns are not sold to minors. This is why alcohol and Pot are not sold to minors. They are not equipped to make fully informed decisions about their life. Clear and simple. That's it. That has nothing to do about civil rights, it has everything to do with protecting minors. If you want to whack off your junk and you are an adult, go for it. Don't complain about it afterwards, it was your decision. But don't put minors in a situation that does this because they can't make that decision. I think this should be something that all people agree on. Unfortunately it is not, because people take sides rather than ask what is the best thing for the minor child - not doing life altering things to them or doing life altering things to them. I think the correct answer is clear. But that is not a matter of civil rights. If so, than other things prohibited to minors should also be considered a violation of their civil rights. mspart

You are right. That's why I listed Cox before Dake, Taylor and Gilman. Not sure what you are trying to say here. mspart

57 and 65 will be a fight to the almost death. These will be hotly contested. The fact we have WCs at 61 and 70 but not at 57 and 65, that should say something about the depth of the non Oly weights. So we have WCs trying to make the Oly team at 57 and 65 I'm guessing and they may not make it due to weight issues. mspart

Ref called an obvious pin but the table did not agree. That's what I got out of it. mspart

Yes, this is the problem. It is quite polarizing apparently. Is there any evidence that a two state solution would bring peace? There is not. Therefore, this is the problem. Why is Gaza so poor? Doesn't Gaza get billions in aid every year? Yet they still depend on Israel for fuel and electricity. Now if Israel really wanted to eliminate them, they would cut them off completely. They don't do that do they? Don't poke the bear is a good proverb for the Palestinians. They poke, they get bit. And everyone complains when the bear finally bites. mspart
