Well, I'm not expressing support for killing the man. But I also understand those who have very limited sympathy for him. Also, you appear to sanction vigilante justice in the second sentence below, but seem to think that I'm pulling stuff out of thin air. And, Republicans are far, far more supportive of the state-sanctioned judicial homicide than Democrats; I'm not sure why you would say that I don't believe that. Every survey conducted in the last 40 years would bear that out. Here's the first one I found on Gallup: https://news.gallup.com/poll/653429/drop-death-penalty-support-led-younger-generations.aspx While it might not meet the legal definition of a crime (murder, manslaughter, etc.) there is an exceptional level of moral failure in a society where a person makes millions of dollars a year by intentionally denying healthcare benefits to others. Similarly, there is an exceptional level of moral failure in a society where billionaires are celebrated for their greed and millions of people are hungry.

I thought Republicans were all about an eye for an eye? I mean, they overwhelmingly support the death penalty. And vigilante justice, too. If you intentionally deny life saving care to someone because you deem it too costly, and it would eat into your quarterly earnings, are you any better than a murderer? You’ve made a choice, and it resulted in a person or people dying. You didn’t pull the trigger but you ordered someone’s death. Or, are rich people simply held to a different standard? It’s OK when they do it, because it’s a business decision? It’s interesting how many Republicans talk about “the elites” and how having them running things is bad, but then jump to defend them at all costs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe multiple posters here have cited it in a more positive light. “If those kids could read, they’d be very upset.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And then what? They legally have no business asking that question during a traffic stop or similar minor infraction. No one in their right mind would answer the question at all. First person wrongfully detained sues the department(s) into oblivion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If we had jail sentences for employers who hired illegal immigrants, there wouldn’t be a problem. But, many industries (and donors) rely on cheap labor. But, because the people who hire these illegal immigrants are often political donors, that would never happen. (Of course, if this happened, we’d then see labor laws relaxed and child labor laws go away. In many states, they’re already weakening or killing those laws off.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In other news, sounds like Pete Hegseth (who has the unit crest of a unit he never served in tattooed to his arm, got booted from two veterans charities (for sexual harassment of female employees, being drunk on the job and embezzling money meant for vet outreach), and doesn’t have a tab) is about to get replaced by…Desantis. What a maroon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trump was impeached for pressuring the president of another country to provide dirt on a political opponent, and threatening to withhold congressionally mandated aid to that country if he didn’t. Joe Biden pardoned Hunter for many things, among them shady business deals. Hunter Biden was never the president of the US and could not withhold aid, nor did he have any political opponents, as he has not run for and won political office. Also, one is a legal authority for the president, the other is a political authority granted to the House. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I get that, too. I should clarify: I was speaking tongue in cheek and don’t want anyone to get hit on the slopes. That said, there are entire resorts that I avoid because of very large numbers of people resting on the runs. Breckenridge, much of Vail, Winter Park. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Old bags had it coming. People tend to stop at the worst possible locations (blind spots) on most mountains. It really is incredibly dangerous and very frustrating for other people who are trying to ski/ride safely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m pretty sure that first part already happens and will continue to happen. Re: the second, I’m not sure that many states keep track of addresses of people that basically don’t exist on paper. The ones who are released pending immigration hearings would have their whereabouts known by the feds, not the state. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some interesting research and application of fueling tricking down from WorldTour bros to the more common-ish man: huge carb loads via liquid ingestion. Some of these guys, and even 50-60kg women, and downing 120g/hr. I carry pre-measured bags of drink mix, and refill bottles accordingly. I’m up to 90g/hr these days and rarely if ever bonk. For whatever reason no one thought of this stuff 15-20 years ago. I can’t recover like I used to but I can do *single* hard rides that rival what I did when I was doing NRC races back in the day.

Sure. But…which federal law compels the states to do the federal government’s job? I’ll wait. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m simply saying that no ranker (Flo, Intermat) actually, truly thinks that Luke Lilledahl wasn’t in the top 33 wrestlers in the country at 125 before he went out and pasted some guys I’d never heard of at Black Knight. And, if they truly did not, how did beating those guys improve LL’s standing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apparently…you do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For Trump, someone’s subservience to his will is the most valuable quality and outweighs all others. No one else is as willing to engage in the “lawfare” Republicans think is happening now (while Hunter Biden, Sen. Bob Menendez, etc. are awaiting sentencing) as Kashyap Patel. Here’s a quote from ol’ Kashyap: By “all-American patriots”, he means people who don’t give a *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me* about the rule of law and will do whatever he tells him. Also: I’ll wager anyone here $1000 that Trump purges senior military leaders or uses the military against US civilians. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The entire premise doesn’t make sense. The OP in that thread implied that Kasak just wants to wrestle and hunt, therefore he wants to transfer, while ignoring that he’d still have to *go to school* at Rutgers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Imagine being outcoached by Tom and Terry. That’s wild. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I get it this perspective, but this is why I take a longer term view of FS results. A guy going on a once-in-a-lifetime heater or a guy beating a great opponent once doesn’t do it for me. A guy like Lilledahl beating Forrest, Volk, Spratley at WTT and the Open over the last two years shows that he’s at a super high level, all the time. Not to mention being the World rep 4x in a row, making the final all four times. He’s not a flash in the pan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The problem with Flo and Intermat is that they rely upon results and not the eye test, if that makes sense. I understand why they do it and they are consistent but I don't think that's the best approach. Example: I didn't have to see Luke Lilledahl beat some guy ranked XXth in the country at 125 to put in him the top 16. I've seen him beat Jore Volk and Troy Spratley three times in the last two years. I get it, freestyle vs folk. I don't care.

Hint: the two wrestlers being discussed, with one of them being injured, attend the University of Michigan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One lie? Fox’s legal strategy was that they lie so much, you should know anything coming out of a commentator’s mouth is a lie. Just read U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil's opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox's lawyers: The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' " She wrote: "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes." Vyskocil, an appointee of President Trump's, added, "Whether the Court frames Mr. Carlson's statements as 'exaggeration,' 'non-literal commentary,' or simply bloviating for his audience, the conclusion remains the same — the statements are not actionable." https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-believe-the-facts-tucker-carlson-tells-you-so-say-fox-s-lawye Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
