More people realizing Trump is an idiot and not very business or economically savvy.

This whole thing seems like a disaster. Why are we supposed to trust a guy who has had to declare bankruptcy 6 times with his own businesses and bankrupted no less than 3 casinos with his mismanagement?

Can't put tariffs on your boss now can you.

Glad Trump slapped down tariffs on the Heard and McDonald Islands! Those people have been taking advantage of America for years!

Friend of mine looked at the data. Not going to be a pleasant ride going into 2026.

I know of a local guy, made a fortune through some less than ethical means, and became a far to the right Republican who actually changed his name legally so it would sound more like a campaign slogan. He had never played sports, but man did he love to act tough and like a big shot because his son wrestled. I don't typically root against kids, but it was satisfying to see his reaction when his kid got upset in the first round at state, after he'd spent all year bragging to anyone who'd listen about how much money he spent and all the things he bought for his kid to win a state championship. He was an election denier before it was cool, after he got trounced in a primary, and I wanted to say he should sue for a rematch.

People who aren't citizens but have legal status get a SSN assigned so they can work. It's not exactly breaking news or anything. It even says on the paperwork that comes with it that you aren't entitled to vote. And if somebody tries to do it anyway, it just gets rejected because they do check these things. Also there's no incentive to commit a crime, like voting illegally, that is easily traceable and will get you in trouble with ICE and possibly deported. It would be like robbing a bank with a poster board size copy of your driver's license hanging around your neck and you're wearing the same shirt as in your driver's license photo and shouting out your name so everyone hears you.

I lost 2 of my kids prior to my last season to other schools that recruited them, which is against the rules. One of them was an All American the next season. The school I was at was 90% minority. My school wouldn't give me the resources needed to make the team better, and I lost those two. I'm not unhappy with them because they went where they needed to. But it sucks that you have talented wrestlers leave because of things beyond your control. And it wasn't even anything that was out of line I asked for and got denied. The school wouldn't pay an extra stipend for an assistant coach because they didn't think it was necessary. I had to be our own travel agent and instead of just submitting a transportation request, I had to actually fill out the administrative paperwork, get it signed, and return it to the district office. I don't know if they just didn't like wrestling or something, but I know basketball never had the same problems.

I can tell you having coached at a title 1 school that we had a lot of things going against us. We didn't have the parental involvement because parents were either working, wanted their kids working, or didn't speak English and had very limited involvement with school related things. None of those kids could afford going to club practice 2x a week. I paid for kids to get their USA card so they could go to weekend tournaments. The school wouldn't let me use the wrestling room outside of wrestling season, so we had to practice elsewhere when we could. Compare that to suburban schools that have more money and parents involved and an administration that was very accommodating. I had kids who were naturally talented, but we couldn't get them what they needed in the off season. One of the better girls who wrestled for me quit because her mom had a baby and needed her at home to help her and also to work to help the family. That isn't going to happen in a district with money.

Chael is a scumbag so I'm not surprised to see him defending other scumbags.

What policies specifically?

Sounds like they had to meet certain criteria and were seeking asylum. Which is legal immigration. Do you get tired of lying?

Joe Betterman started in high school. So did Adam Wheeler who was an Olympic bronze medalist. Quicey Clark started as a junior in high school. Dremiel Byers didn't wrestle in college and played football briefly in college before joining the Army.
