  1. LOL... yeah, and they're SO convinced everyone is out to get them, but Trump REALLY cares about them. I will say... the left just blew the last one. You're handing them a LAYUP over something we all know isn't right. Males should NOT participate athletically against Females. People even like to cite these rare athletic feats that Men are inferior to Women at...I think it's like the super marathons where some women can compete and then...like long distance swimming in cold water...but it really should pretty simple and not a fight the left should be at all invested in.
  2. Right. I was also going to include the death penalty(or frankly the wood chipper if I'm being honest) but that's controversial...as is mental health, his PTSD for Military, a dozen other things that in other threads could go in a political direction. I thought though...SURELY on this one particular thread, given the scope of the... senseless tragedy, we could not bicker and focus on ONE thing only. Sadly, I was wrong. Hopefully, moving forward... we can avoid that. These poor young girls and the family grieving their loss. A mother who's world just got destroyed. Edit-I'm also going to add the GoFundMe for the funeral costs... because...I want to. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-whitney-decker/donations?attribution_id=sl%3A34ef9113-c3d7-43de-939d-f8c40ac3c602 This...is ALL the thread should be about;
  3. I don't understand this reference. Did Muller's wife have an affair with an immigrant?
  4. Yeah, this is things that happen in a 3rd World Country. We don't "toss" people in Jail because we "bet" they had knowledge of someone else's crimes. The wife gave her phone and they were not "arrested," they were detained by ice. What type of nonsense is this? LITERALLY punishing the Sons(and daughters) for the Sins of the father based on a wild guess?
  5. Mark Kelly is my choice. I liked Fetterman, but he's had too many issues. Kelly should have been the VP nominee. Beshear is another candidate. Wes Moore. Mark Cuban could be one. JB would have to lose 30-40 pounds to win the election. Fat guys normally don't do well...the current POTUS being the exception(I of course mean in the modern era, not going back to the likes of Taft). There will be others. Ossoff would be an interesting candidate. This is all assuming that Trump doesn't "run" again as he's said he would.
  6. Yeah... you're just Jimmy at this point. I preempted that so this DIDN'T turn into anything about race or mental health issues(which...I think you struggle with) or anything else and DIDN'T bring up Politics and you still whined. This is about the death of 3 innocent little children, not whatever pettiness you're dealing with. I guess I said political. Just the word. This...this is exactly what I didn't want it devolving into. Again, people can make anything political, so it was a way of just basically asking that ONE thread that...shouldn't be divisive in anyway.
  7. And then there was a Republican oversight committee that determined that there was no institutional wrongdoing and the INDIVIDUALS(3 low level employees canvassing) were held responsible. In fact...the house applauded FEMA in addressing it; https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-applauds-fema-for-holding-bad-actors-accountable-for-political-discrimination-against-trump-supporters/?utm_source=chatgpt.com So the claim that they were "withholding funds to give to illegals," was false. But it's always telling who just laps up Trump's stump speeches in lieu of the facts. And if you have a problem with this, take it up with the Republican Congress who came to these conclusions(or again, who denied 20B in additional funding just before the Hurricanes and who have since slashed the budged and personnel even more). If the Hurricane victims got "nothing," with nothing being 2.7B, I'm curious what would be "something."
  8. Are you so stupid that you think we're talking JUST about hurricanes? You don't grasp the impact that additional WARNING for a hurricane or other types of storms may be adversely impacted? But no, you're right. Complain about Fema's responses and the money they were allowed to give out LEGALLY for immediate needs, complain that they actually have to file for paper work to be reimbursed for additional losses ALL while you clap like mindless seals when people talk about WASTE and FRAUD(even objecting to having to identify oneself) do all of this right after you cut FEMA funding by 20 Billion at a time when the scope and scale of storms are getting worse each year, THEN blame Biden because you're too stupid to fact check Trump's stump speeches. THEN applaud the 1800 Fema employees and cut another 3.5B dollars from the Underfunded agency and make a statement as stupid as, 'er....they I'll bet they're aren't any unexpected Hurricanes," you clown. AS we all know, Hurricanes... that's the ONLY thing FEMA is responsible for. This is the point where YOU don't believe your own argument, you just feel like you need to make one and that's how you come up with these type of arguments. Also how you get "Pol Pot," when looking for the biggest Domestic Terrorist threats.
  9. It definitely would and... with the "hate crime" aspect, he'd definitely be looking at the death penalty. And I hope he doesn't get it, but if someone succumbs from their injuries...let him have it. Even if someone lives with their injuries for the next decade and they die as a result of this, they can still charge him for capital murder(and they should).
  10. Yeah, they generally reserve the death penalty for when people are killed.
  11. God you're a douche bag. I didn't think I did, but I'm glad after making a fool of yourself on other threads, you felt the need to do exactly what I thought you'd do when talking about the death of 3 little girls. But by all means, point out what you had a problem with where it was more important for you to argue with me and comment rather than respond to the topic(or just not respond)?
  12. LOL...is the last one still a thing? I'm kidding, but you see so many guys who immediately look to dive in on that leg and create a scramble. I thought that was one of the things Starocci and Brooks were so good at. They stuff a shot, they were tough and physical in that front head and they beat you up and got the most simple scores...just a little go behind. Lots of others do that as well, but... those two came to mind. I split by eye so bad in a match, they couldn't get the bleeding to stop. This was out at Fargo and it was early, I was up...pretty good, maybe 7-0, not a tough match, but just couldn't get it stopped. A father who was real active in the sport and just a great dude...he comes up and he has a bad and says he can stitch it up. I remember him saying, "won't even scar, you'll still be as good...well, you won't get any uglier," when asking. And he did it, wrapped it up and...it was good. He also used Super Glue. Honestly, the thing that hurt the most was him pouring the water and then athletic wipes to clean it. It's not a particularly sensitive place though.
  13. https://abcnews.go.com/US/3-young-sisters-reported-missing-washington-after-leaving/story?id=122419639 From JJ and TJ Watt's old High School, this guy, former Wrestler... it APPEARS as though he took the lives of his three beautiful daughters. The mental health issues and PTSD(he was in the Military and I've already heard some comments about his Mental Health) will be thrown out there...but this is just as selfish as you can be. Air out your own Grey Matter if you absolutely must(which I generally don't endorse, but would have in this case). Just brutal. I don't want to get political...we can all agree on this one, but this seems like the result of an ugly divorce and this guy was down and homeless and trying to hurt his wife... but the old Golda comment seems apt here. He hated his wife more than he loved his own daughters...PRESUMABLY. No actual confirmation he actually committed this atrocity... but he picked them up for visitation...they were never seen alive again.
  14. EXACTLY! The 3 point stance...there's nothing you can do. Also, that Purler style of Wrestling, you're going to end up leaking from the head once in a while. Just part of the sport.
  15. No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this IMO, I don't think it started with JB, I think it's been around forever and I think as long as you're using your head and hands as your first line of defense...I don't know what you're supposed to do. It's so hard to get guys out of position, ideally, you'd plant your head in his cheat and shoot, but guys are blocking with their head. There may be some cases that are egregious, but the one at 16:45 was nothing. Just a good shot. Cael did that, Joe Williams did that, Johnny Hendricks and Kyle Snyder...and here Vito(just one guy from most of the top Colleges so this doesn't turn into another complaint about on school). Blast double. Sometimes, you get blasted in the dome. It happens.
  16. You really think he'll be able to hold 57KG? He looks like he's 4-5 inches taller than Lee... and he's not exactly physically mature. Why can't Lee be the "future" at 57KG? He should have at least another cycle. Did I miss something?
  17. This was...shockingly good advice that never once dawned on me until I started coaching. I had a HWT, he was a great FB player, he was 6'4 270, he could run all day, he was fine in practice, but he was backing up guys his first 3 years who'd all placed in State. He finally got his shot and he would gas about 90 seconds into the match. It took about 10 minutes until an assistant said 'he's holding his breath.' The nerves were getting to him and he just...wasn't breathing. Not even regulating his breath, but he was holding it for long stretches. Never would have dawned on me. Good kid, ended up being pretty good and played 4 years of College Football.
  18. I think you need to be functionally disabled mentally in order to understand or find this amusing.
  19. Is this a mental health issue? I don't think Trump believed he won(well, we know he knew he lost)... but so many others did. Beyond that, if they could rig it in 2020, why not rig it better? Why not rig it in 2024? Or was it rigged in 2024 and Trump just agreed to play along with the rigging? Makes ya think, doesn't it? Kinda like, 'I think this is mind numbingly stupid.'
  20. 1. False Claims of Aid Being Withheld from Republican Areas Former President Donald Trump and other Republicans alleged that the Biden administration deliberately withheld disaster aid from Republican-leaning regions affected by Hurricane Helene. These claims were unfounded and contradicted by FEMA's documented assistance efforts. Such misinformation eroded trust in federal relief programs and complicated coordination with local officials. 2. Mischaracterization of the $750 Assistance Payment Some conservative commentators misrepresented FEMA's $750 "Serious Needs Assistance" as either the total amount of aid available or as a loan requiring repayment. In reality, this payment was an initial, one-time grant intended to cover immediate essential needs. Eligible survivors could apply for additional assistance through FEMA's Individuals and Households Program. 3. Conspiracy Theories About Government Intentions Conspiracy theories circulated online, suggesting that the federal government used Hurricane Helene as a pretext to seize land in areas like Chimney Rock, North Carolina, for purposes such as lithium mining. These claims were baseless and debunked by local authorities and emergency management officials. Nevertheless, they gained traction on social media, hindering recovery efforts. Wikipedia+3Wikipedia+3Congressman Chuck Edwards+3 4. AI-Generated Misinformation AI-generated images falsely depicting disaster scenes were shared widely on social media to criticize FEMA's response. One such image showed a young girl in floodwaters, purportedly illustrating federal neglect. Despite being fabricated, these images were used to support misleading narratives about the federal response. Wikipedia 5. Political Undermining of FEMA The Trump administration's approach included appointing FEMA leadership with limited disaster management experience and reducing the agency's role in favor of state-led responses. This shift led to internal confusion, staff resignations, and concerns about FEMA's preparedness for future disasters. The Times of India+2The Daily Beast+2AP News+2WSJ+1The Daily Beast+1 These instances of misinformation and political interference not only misrepresented FEMA's actions but also impeded effective disaster response and recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene.
  21. Looks more like separated by death... what's with the Grey Face?
  22. I'm plenty focused and I addressed most of these issues. You apparently need to hear this multiple times. 1-Yes, filing out paper work. Or...do you suppose you should just... tell Fema how much money you're entitled to with no other forms of documentation? How would YOU propose that money be handed out? 2-You want to talk about how slow and ineffective Fema is, but you don't want to talk about how Republicans voted against additional funding and NOW they've slashed the budget even more while cutting 1800 employees? Please, spare me the whining about how slow it was. You're getting what you voted for. Finally, AGAIN, you realize the Federal Government isn't responsible for 100% of ALL costs, right? You have...what are called INSURANCE companies. Biden did give out 100% of funds he was legally allowed to give out and as I said, States asked for troops, he sent troops. Biden offered additional help to Florida, they turned it down. But the "there's so much fraud and waste," crowd thinks you should just...I don't know, exactly HOW do you think the money should be allocated? Should I drive down to North Carolina and just...walk up with nothing and say I need 500K? Thoughts? Oh, and AGAIN, not 2B, 2.7B. And that's..."nothing." 2.7 Billion dollars is..."nothing." Ok...cool.
  23. I stayed focused and I responded. You ducked the question. And yes, I keep talking about filling out the paperwork. Should they just take people's word for it? I thought we were worried about giving money to "Unlawfuls," and fraud. But now you should get more than the 750, the maximum allowed by congress and Biden should just hand that out...because, right? Meanwhile, you doubt how much of that money made it to those impacted, but... they should have had to fill out the paperwork. President Joe Biden approved a 100% federal cost share for emergency response and debris removal efforts in several states affected by Hurricane Helene, including Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. This means the federal government covered all eligible costs for these activities during the initial recovery period. In North Carolina, the 100% federal cost share was authorized for the first 180 days following the disaster declaration. After this period, the federal cost share for Public Assistance was adjusted to 90%, reducing the state's financial burden compared to the standard 75% federal share. Overall, the Biden administration's decision to increase the federal cost share significantly alleviated the financial strain on the affected states during the critical early stages of recovery from Hurricane Helene.
  24. Yeah...well, I didn't agree with Iowa being blamed for Lee either. He lost the State Finals as a Sr because of a knee injury. Injuries happen. I never viewed it as just having injuries. I can't imagine a Wrestler making it through the level of Wrestling required to make it to a B1G program(so a LOT of high level HS competition)...then 5 years in the B1G and not getting injuries. I guess it's kinda irrelevant as... this discussion will continue(on every thread).
  25. So no, you're not able to follow along. Again, Pol Pot cited as an example of the threat of domestic terrorism. Can't make this up!
