Again, such a disingenuous question. Allowing one set of ideals and views based on one side of politics vs. not allowing other views and set of ideals (that have nothing to do with equity and tolerance, is in fact what a lot of companies have gone to...because it's the "in thing". And our political system, our media (including social media), our institutions, and now our corporations are all about diversity and equity and inclusion, but as humans went way to far one way in regard to those things...which always happens in this country. It needs to be moved back to the middle as the majority of the population are in the middle yet we pander to the very small minority. My believes are that everyone should be treated equal and have the same opportunities based on the person they are, their hard work, and their drive to do better. I think people should be able to love who they love. I believe people should be able to dress however they want to dress. But I also believe people have a right to love who THEY love. And people should be able to dress based on their biological sex. I believe people should be able change their sex if they would like (once they are an adult) but I also believe we are born a male or a female (biologically speaking). I also don't believe in the notion of "privilege". But I do understand generational wealth. Anway, I could go on and on,...my point is those are MY believes...period...and everyone is entitled to their own even if it is crazy far right or crazy far left, but we should also be able to call some of it out...on both sides.

Agreed...it use to be one of the best places to work way back in the day, just now it isn't for some reason. One has to wonder what happened, but based on feedback from a large amount of ex-employees it may be evident. Sad how politics has worked its way into corporate America's employee's treatment whether it is left or right leaning politics. I miss the day when corps stayed out of it...publicly anyway. I fully understand lobbying has been happening for a long long time and that is another subject all together, but the forced political views is terrible if you ask me. And you are right, it was "adorable" what Le Duke said...so disingenuous when people do that...what he said has NOTHING to do with your point.

Honestly, I do not think or believe that the R's fear Trump. I believe he is done and will not win the primary. I do not subscribe to what the MSN tries to tell people what to think. It is a political tactic by the biased news media to skew what is really happening (and I don't mean in some weird conspiracy theory way), I mean that most of what people watch are run by D's who have a vested interest in D's winning elections and thus spew the rhetoric they want in order to achieve that. Just like the R leaning media does. So no, I believe the most popular R right now is Desantis by a significant margin. But he hasn't even said he was running. Anyway, why do I think that, because the MSN is hell bent on bashing Desantis every chance they get and for the dumbest stuff. Trump at least earns his bashing. Anyway, I think it is a ploy to portray Trump as the "scary" leader of the R's knowing that those in the middle will then vote for D's at all costs. Of course I may be wrong, and Trump may in fact win the primary, and then I probably won't vote at all unless the D's put forth a candidate that is halfway sane and can string coherent sentences together (I do feel bad for Biden losing his mind though...don't wish that on anyone), and the D candidate is more middle of the road. Honestly, I get lost in people trying to express their opinion by making statements like "balls in tiny hands" (although funny).

This post is exactly why it is very difficult to have a genuine conversation with some of you. This is so full of immature b.s. and is nothing but name calling, insults and completely ridiculous claims that can neither be proven or disproven...it's almost as if I am watching a political ad created by a teenager trying to be political. And once someone lays facts/data/tangible evidence down you will deflect, insult the person and shut down. You, Plas, and Mikey should all just post under the same user name. @Disengenuousbipartisanhack

This is so his MO isn't it...once he gets pushback on one of his illogical posts...he deflects, deflects and deflects. He won't engage in any meaningful conversation at that point. I agree with what LJB said, he seems like a halfway intelligent guy except he has teenage level political viewpoints (no logic, all emotion)...AND, he loves stirring the turd and calling people names...I know he does it on purpose and probably sits back and giggles to himself while snapping his gum and twirling his hair, and sometimes I get caught up in it, but I eventually realize that is his schtick when he knows he can't argue his point any longer so I disengage...oh and his other schtick of turning every topic to be about Trump and then posting stupid links about Trump and Elon ad nauseum.

Wow...SMH...

Yeah because you post some of the exact same type of sources...ALL THE TIME!! And you don't address the actual issue and make it into a source issue...can't make this stuff up.

Thanks for making my point. You still can't make any comment on what the guy said...your feel the need to focus on a stupid source versus what was actually said?? Seriously?? But as always...keep being you Mikey.

Wow...so disingenuous from some of you and quite sad really. You are focusing on freaking sources and tip toeing around addressing what was actually said...and even trying to downplay it by saying "Killing is the thing that is illegal". Wow...some of you continue to show your disgusting bipartisan thought process. There should have been no other response except this guy is disgusting and shouldn't be let anywhere near our kids in college. LJB was spot on...do some of you freaking lick windows??

Of course I am biased...we all are biased. I just am truly open to listening to both sides and hearing what others think about stuff. I just base most of my stuff off of logic/data/facts (not manufactured facts) and less on the emotion.

But if the person was Trump's kid...WHOAAA!!! The world would be ending as we know it....INVESTIGATE!! LOCK HIM UP!!! I can only imagine how many links Mikey would be posting and you would be gobbling them up. My take is I don't give two shnits about it, but rather I sit back and watch the hypocrisy flow....well, don't actually sit back but rather call people out on it as I can't stand it. Better off just saying "Yes I am biased and only think and look at things one way and that way is if the people involved vote the same as me then they are right and everyone else is wrong."

Agreed! And that documentary "The Social Dilemma" is crazy! I made my teenage son watch it...he is mostly on the SnapChat and just watches tik toc videos but doesn't post anything. I am lucky he is a kid that is skeptical of everything he sees/reads on the internet and will search "facts" out before blindly believing things he reads; it makes me so proud when we chat and he says he read something and looked into it and it wasn't true at all. He laughs at the click bait headlines. Anyway, I am digressing. I think everyone should watch "The Social Dilemma"...even though I know they can put spin on any of those types of documentaries, but even still, scary stuff. That's why I only do wrestling forums like this one...nothing but facts and truths being spewed here daily! I do enjoy the banter though...and have actually learned some things and changed my views a couple times.

You are right...they do do that with all of our data...one of the reason's social media is the bane of our society, but his point, which I agree with 100%, but it's not what info/data of mine they can collect and sell, but how they control the messaging/narrative/content that is presented and more importantly the information they won't let be shown on their platforms...THAT should scare us all way more than someone knowing my or your search history...IMHO.

Pleasantly surprised to see Mikey continuing his obsessive posting of links to whachadoodle articles. But a little disappointed he wasn't all over the story of how Elon wants to build a "Utopia Town" by Austin for all the workers of his companies. Clearly this has to be good fodder in his brain on how bad Elon is and subsequently how this will also be Trump's fault in some way and should be investigated. I'm sure there are links to something like this out there already and Mikey's amazing investigation skills will uncover it with some more "SEE!! SEE!!" links.

Bingo!

I heard that all the country has to do is "claim you", and some countries charge a lot of money to be a "citizen" and others not so much...but I may be wrong.

Yep...change a letter here and there and the names used and this statement would still be true.

Weird that people say they think Lee won't perform based on some perspective in their head of the style of Folkstyle wrestling he does...but then think it's ridiculous for someone to come back and say they think Lee will perform well in freestyle. Especially when they are using past results as a reason for their opinion. Can't make this crap up. Anyway, I was and still am not a fan of Lee not finishing the NCAA's. Doesn't diminish what he has accomplished, but it is disappointing. I really hope he wrestles freestyle...he is a generational (if not once in a lifetime) talent and hope it translates to a lot of success on the international stage for the USA!

Like someone said, the number doesn't include streaming services in it's numbers..which is how I watched. I too had a house of about 20 people watching.

I see your point, but the SCOTUS isn't governing the country being that R's are the minority in the congress. Here goes a can of worms but you are the one using it to try and make a point...which is incorrect in its intent...first, the SCOTUS abortion ruling isn't a ruling on legality of abortion. It was a ruling on legality of who makes the laws around abortion...ie., that the decision should be made at the state level. Hence, each state may have R's as the minority, or D's as the minority, and vice versa...those states are the ones governing abortion. It is factual wrong to say the SCOTUS banned abortion, or made them illegal...I'd figure you would have known that being a lawyer and all. And the fraction between the R's on the supreme court on abortion is probably based on their personal believes about abortion, but had to make the correct constitutional decision in regards to the legality of Roe v Wade. Just like guns I personally think there needs to be some regulations on abortion, but not blanketly illegal, nor blanketly legal. Just my opinion. Anyway, agree to disagree on the topic of court packing...everyone has their reasons of why they think what the R's did was bad, or what the D's want to do is bad. I apologize for putting you in the bucket of blind partisan people like a few on here. Sorry...I re-read what you wrote...if you weren't saying that the SCOTUS was governing my apologies. Hard to multitask while at work...ha But I don't think overall the R's are a minority in this country...quite the opposite at the state level.

The issue here is that both sides do the same stuff...sometimes I think what the D's do is "worse" and sometimes I think what the R's do is "worse"...in this case I think what the D's want to do is "worse", that's my opinion and I gave my reasons why...my mistake for thinking you were saying what the R's did was bad and what the D's want to do is okay.

AKA...whatever the D's do = Good! Whatever the R's do = Bad! Got it!

First way to understand that the two are different is to remove one's bipartisan glasses. Second, there is a big difference replacing justices than creating seats to gain the majority. The first is "normal" in the process of things and is just unfortunate timing for the other party (to me this is like the person who does a lay-up at the end of a basketball game when the game is already won instead of just running out the clock)...the other is one party purposely creating a majority (changing the rules of the basketball game until you win the game). By the way, I don't think court packing will happen any time soon anyway so sort of a moot point.

Agree with your last statement about the minority ruling the majority in this country. But about court packing, I guess I don't see any sort of comparison in what the "R's" did in terms of the SCOTUS, they filled empty seats...did they maybe not follow "norms" of doing so with an outgoing president...sure...have no problem for them being critiqued or criticized for that, but it wasn't "against the rules"...it was part of the "game". Creating more seats so that one party can have the majority is a totally different thing. I guess me personally, one is way worse than the other.

You just used your own hypocrisy to try and show that someone else is being a hypocrite?? Wow...can't make this stuff up.
