The B is for "bargain".

It'd be something if he ended up at UPJ. I mean honestly why shouldn't he go there? Here's my case for it. He would be a hometown legend. The guy who could have gone anywhere stayed home and made UPJ relevant. He could name his own schedule and even if he did more freestyle he would still win D2 pretty easily. He could still wrestle the big name D1 guys at tournaments.

We have a local "pastor", who runs a church that has made the following claims or done/said these things: Prayed Obama would die of cancer. The Holocaust never happened. The Orlando nightclub shooting happened because God hates gay people. Calls people he doesn't like or agree with an "enemy of the gospel". Been banned from entering around 30 countries. Claims a tax exemption for the Church but also runs his own business out of the same space. Said that gays should be out to death. Claimed the terrorist attack at an Eagles of Death Metal concert happened because death metal is the music of Satan or evil. It just kind of keeps going. But Pastor Anderson and a good number of his congregants are armed. Even while giving his weekly rants he is armed.

We have thought about it a while and basically if we do then it's not just about who is president, though that does factor in, but going somewhere that isn't going to be as stressful. We found a great place though. Very politically stable, haven't been involved in a war or had a terrorist attack in many years. Language, we can get by. So it's just a lot of different things. But I want to spend time there next year before we look at it seriously.

Do you just make things up and pretend they're real?

Watch out indeed. https://www.google.com/amp/s/fox8.com/news/88-children-removed-from-iowa-church-camp-in-abuse-probe/amp/

Pretty much everyone I know who lives there considers him a payaso. A clown.

Soonest for us is next year. Hopefully by then we are better off as a country , but I'm not optimistic. I've already been looking at rentals/real estate where we'd go.

It's like watching a gambling addict blow their paycheck. Everything he does is something he's complained or criticized other people for doing, or wanting to do. It's never *HIS* fault, it's always somebody else.

I've been in LA a few days. Literally nothing is going on that indicated there was anything close to an insurrection. I've barely seen any police either. This whole thing was overblown.

Even before all of this it's something we wanted to do. I have friends who left the US to go and they have a better quality of life there. There is also very little chance of a terrorist attack, and a lot more things that make the move there and attractive option. Not to mention my wife's family has zero intention or interest in moving to America. So we'd be closer to them. I also have cousins who live in Europe who are citizens of both EU and non EU countries, and are intending to stay there and not return to the US. I have minimal ties here too. Most of my family around me is deceased, and I am adaptable with work. There's definitely trade offs but I feel that my physical and mental health would be better there, among other reasons. One of my friends who lives in the area we're looking at, I've known him since high school and I asked him what the biggest culture shock was, and he told me it was realizing how awful living in America was by comparison.

I'm concerned this is going to escalate and badly.

I'm eligible for citizenship in the EU. I just never exercised it. I'm going to soon.

Trying to go to war with Iran even if they didn't have nukes would be a terrible idea for so many reasons.

This is a really bad idea. All they're doing is just going to be framed as an anti Muslim war and it is going to get ugly. This is why I wish we were able to move back to Europe.

I already had my right one done. And it was 20 years ago when I thought I was done wrestling ever again. It's never caused a problem since. The left one is a huge mess of everything. I'm scheduling it this coming week.

If I was in better shape and didn't need knee and shoulder surgery I'd go upper body and try to surprise him with a throw from an odd position. That'd be my only chance.

There's no way anyone with more than two brain cells wouldn't think we were behind it if we actually did this. The reason I mentioned the Flying Tigers was because that is exactly what we did to Japan in the late 30's by allowing Army Air pilots and crew to resign and "volunteer" under Claire Chennault in China. Everyone knew exactly what we were doing.

Have you suffered a head injury recently?

She was pretty good in Congo. Which is available for free on YouTube.

I don't think a repeat of the Flying Tigers would be such a good idea.
