You are my favorite Leftie here, for reals. You don't take yourself too seriously, and will have a little fun at your side's expense. And occasionally post good posts.

Unlikely. But if she does, it will say things like "address inflation on day 1$#@!" by printing more money and throwing it into the market, like the Inflation Increase Act for which she was the deciding vote. Anyone who understands basic macroeconomics knows that this causes inflation, which I've already explained. She'll also fix the border, which she has abjectly failed at as Border Czar for the past 3.5 years. No matter, the complicit media won't push her on it. Although, I'm starting to see some cracks, folks like Van Jones (whom I increasingly like, because he tells it like he sees it) and Jake Tapper, starting to wonder if they shouldn't be able to ask Saint Kamala some questions. But I expect those voices to be squashed. The plan is in place and is running like a well-oiled machine. It's a 3-pronged plan: 1. Biden is still the president, although not really. Nobody really knows who is. But it isn't Harris! So all the bad stuff that has happened and will happen until election day are because of him.*** 2. Harris is fresh, joyous, upbeat, unburdened by what has been. Minimal policies, interviews, debates. Hopey Changey 2.0. 3. The Praetorian Guard MSM will enable the above. *** I am actually quite concerned that Hezbullah/Iran are about to attack Israel, and we don't seem to have a functioning POTUS. Even if I don't like Biden, it's good to know that somebody is in charge.

I'm going thru Olympic withdrawal. I need to watch some obscure sports. On that note, I totally missed the Turkish shooter craze. Pistol was one event I somehow saw none of.

Oh, I wrestled growing up. Not competitively, but I found out in college that my informal training made me better than a lot of guys who competed in neighboring states. I just never heard that word.

I'd never heard the word "folkstyle" until this post. That being said, I recognized that there were differences between HS/college wrestling and Olympic freestyle. I never wrestled competitively but I grew up in rural PA so I did a lot of wrestling in PE, then got into ground fighting later in life. Anyway... not being in that sphere, my gut reaction is yeah, they should move towards the Olympic freestyle rules.

These closing ceremonies are, what is the word du jour? Weird.

Quality

Assistant coach who misrepresented himself, accepted money from the government to practice military stuff then quit when they were deployed. Otherwise, good job, good effort.

She won't spin anything. The MSM is acting as the Praetorian guard and protecting her. She's new, fresh, joyous, enthusiastic, unburdened by what has been in her past career or time in the Biden/Harris administration. Unless it was a good thing. I don't blame her for going Hopey Changey 2.0 in the spirit of Saint Barack, but I wish we had a functioning Fourth Estate who would push her for why, for instance, she's going to solve the border crisis when she was the border czar for 4 years and was an abject failure. Or how she was the last voice in the room on the Afghanistan withdrawal.

I'm not an Olympic wrestling expert, but I had seen that earlier in the competition (maybe by Dake?) and thought it was interesting, as you did. I've said these before but: - I love the obscure sports. I watched a little of most things; a lot of taekwondo, which I used to compete in. But I love stuff like the canoe/kayak slaloms. - Peacock knocked it out of the park IMO. Gold Zone, Multi View, stream anything any time, watch replays, Prime Time summaries. 10/10.

Thanks for posting this. I tried to describe this type of move(s) to my wife yesterday when we were watching Dake wrestle, and I just showed it to her.

Agreed!

Joy! ...and pain. Sunshine! ...and rain

I know, right? Turnovers every possession, it's painful to watch.

Wut? Printing a trillion dollars and throwing it into the economy devalues the dollar and creates inflation. This is a fact.

Leave the gun... Take the cannoli.

I came in to post this.

Inflation occurs when you devalue the dollar, like say, printing trillions for things like the Inflation Increase Act. Harris and Walz will continue such idiocies. HTH

Yeah, we'll sure miss Torrid calling everyone who smacked him around weak and scared. That was some quality posting.

In honor of @posty, and since I'm watching them now, I give you the dominating Dutch field hockey team. https://olympics.com/en/news/netherlands-womens-hockey-team-a-tale-of-absolute-dominance https://www.google.com/search?q=dutch+field+hockey+team+women's&sca_esv=daaa450ae4e070d5&sxsrf=ADLYWIKuUjYEoxhypMQ_XXaBkvtKzX0R_g:1723233335274&source=hp&biw=1368&bih=743&ei=N3S2ZsHuDpXHkPIP65LauQQ&iflsig=AL9hbdgAAAAAZraCR5piZC04aSPdEDVFUS4v4D4Uq6rT&oq=dutch+fiel&gs_lp=EgNpbWciCmR1dGNoIGZpZWwqAggAMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIGEAAYBRgeMgYQABgIGB4yBhAAGAgYHjIGEAAYCBgeMgYQABgIGB4yBhAAGAgYHki7JlAAWIUMcAB4AJABAJgBUqABmwWqAQIxMLgBAcgBAPgBAYoCC2d3cy13aXotaW1nmAIKoALJBcICBBAjGCfCAggQABiABBixA8ICDhAAGIAEGLEDGIMBGIoFwgILEAAYgAQYsQMYgwGYAwCSBwIxMKAH7zY&sclient=img&udm=2#vhid=CnUNhGkcarkFVM&vssid=mosaic

Sorry, wasn't here all morning. Gimme #6

Delete this thread, please. I know you won't, but I figured I'd ask.

It's like I've tried to explain to @weepawsregarding abortion in AZ. He supports a complete opposition to abortion, and as such, supports the 1864 AZ law completely outlawing it. I on the other hand, generally oppose it as a choice of convenience, and would like to work towards limiting that. Weepaws, and AZ MAGA folks, don't realize that by supporting the complete ban, they are enabling the constitutional change on our ballot this year which would allow abortion by choice up to birth, because that absolutely would win. Basically, it's a question of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. I understand the philosophical simplicity of folks like weeps. I'm sure he feels that he'll stand in front of God and say, by golly, I opposed it! Never mind the fact that his opposition allowed many more abortions to take place. If there is a heaven with a Judeo-Christian God, I presume he'll be easy on him. He means well. But he doesn't understand how to win. Anyway, I digress. That same attitude gave us Kari Lake, who will lose. See above.

The Republican party in AZ has gone full ratard. For governor, we had a true conservative candidate who would have mopped the floor with Katie Hobbs, in Karrin Taylor Robson. Instead we went with Lake, who lost to a person as exciting as watching grass grow. Now we've doubled down for the open Senate seat, again sending Lake out there instead of Mark Lamb (whom I voted for in the recent primary). Lake will get destroyed by Ruben Gallego, who is way more progressive than Sinema was. Way to win, AZ GOP!

I appreciate the response. Regarding Harris, we shall see how well-spoken she has become in the debates (especially if she agrees to multiple). Reading other people's words off a teleprompter is nice, but insufficient. I also appreciate the honesty that it is basically a "NOT TRUMP" vote. Walz said in the past week that he is a socialist. Here is an interesting article, an op ed from USA Today of all places. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2024/08/08/harris-walz-progressive-policies-minnesota-welfare-tax-hike/74702898007/ I thought the comment about migration was interesting. Minnesota has the 10th worst absolute migration, and 12th worst percentage, with -6.55% from 2020 to 2022 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_net_migration Like the author, I don't want America to look like either California or Minnesota.
