  1. I think the problem with this is when it's somebody high profile, like say an Olympic gold medalist, who has made being highly moralistic and religious the center of his public image, life, etc, but they get caught up in something, that's when it's more problematic. Because it means this person is lying about his lifestyle and all the things he told kids for years is just BS.
  2. So why are you supporting a president who doesn't know what he's supposed to do?
  3. I don't think she was the best. But Trump seems to be kryptonite for women running for president. I do think her being a woman played a part, how big of one, I don't know. But I unfortunately have friends who didn't vote for her on that basis alone. So I would guess it had something to do with it.
  4. Meanwhile Trump is looking to suspend habeus corpus. How do those boots taste?
  5. Property taxes here fund education mostly. So I don't have a problem. Unless I want to be surrounded by stupid people.
  6. Most of the state population lives within 2 hours of Valiant. So it's not widespread. The Phoenix metro area has roughly 5 million people. There's no real reason to do that. Anyone within driving distance can go there. The kids from Eloy would commute and that's like 45 minutes to an hour each way. I don't know about the makeup of the students since I'm not privy to that or really know much about the inner workings. I've heard kids from other states attend there, but I don't really know.
  7. Very. They have arguably the best coaching staff in the country.
  8. Bad News was not a guy to mess with.
  9. I remember seeing him mention it once. He said something like he never wanted to hear that from him again and said it in a way that he understood there would be a problem if it happened again. And Hogan just apologized to him really quickly and that was it.
  10. There was a different incident where Hogan said something in the locker room and Bad News told him he didn't want to hear that again. The Andre incident happened in Japan, when Bad News made the tour bus pull over and he got off and challenged Andre to come out and settle it.
  11. Basically. Other pro wrestlers knew it too. Bad News Brown who was an Olympic medalist in judo supposedly confronted him about it and Hogan backed down, not wanting to get his head kicked in.
  12. So how is Biden being brought up in a conversation about Trump not knowing or not caring about his job functions?
  13. I'm surprised Carr and Blades agreed to this given his history of giving his opinion about certain people.
  14. A guy who gets overlooked a lot is Abdollah Movahed. 5x world champion and 68 Olympic champion. He got injured in the preliminary round in Munich so he didn't get a chance to wrestle Gable. Another guy who was a good as they come was Gogi Kougashvili. Won worlds 5x and an Olympic bronze but never won an Olympic gold.
  15. This isn't about enforcing the law. This is about us having a president who is unclear on what his job is supposed to be. Now can anyone answer the simple yes or no question if Biden ever said he didn't know if he was supposed to uphold the constitution?
  16. I was hoping he'd pick Constantine.
  17. Plessy v Ferguson was from 1896. So congrats for not knowing your history. I believe you might have been trying for Brown v Board of Education, but that decision was in 1954. And I don't know why you'd be looking to bring up a 130 year old SC decision. The point of this post isn't what is in the constitution, or what interpretation there is for parts of it It is that our current president is either ignorant of what his job entails, or cares so little he never bothered to familiarize himself with what he's supposed to do.
  18. It's a straightforward question. Which he either can't answer or won't answer.
  19. “Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?” This is the question he was asked. The context of the question is irrelevant. Why? Because one of the things that is in the oath of office, very similar to the same oath I took when I joined the military, is that I will protect and uphold the constitution. You either uphold it or you don't. You don't get to pick and choose which parts you don't want to follow. Which is why I believe Trump answered the way he did. Because he doesn't feel like he should have to, even though he took an oath saying he would. That's not how this works. Either you do it or you don't. And if you don't then he shouldn't be president. Just like if I didn't do what I was supposed to or did only what I felt like, I'd have been kicked out of the military.
  20. Which survey says......is part of the Constitution. Which he swore to uphold, in public. And now he "doesn't know" if he's supposed to do that?
  21. When the back and forth continued, and the host asked, “Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?” Trump responded, “I don’t know. I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. What you said is not what I heard the Supreme Court said. They have a different interpretation.” That is exactly what he said. I bolded the relevant part of his answer.
