I have been helping coach my kids teams,  baseball and flag football. Parents are constantly telling us it’s ok to make them run laps and keep them in line. I have been very surprised. There Seems to be a backlash to all the pussification going on from the left. Good to see. You fockin fags can’t have this country anymore.

No they were booing Beyonce for not performing as expected, not Harris. So you think anyone there will not vote for Kamala as a result of this? Seriously.

[TimHauck 2,619]

The PSU wrestling team is mostly devout Christians, so this isn’t a surprise.

[Gepetto 1,289]

Endorsements are not votes.

When the kids get a little more experience they’ll learn to spot a shetbird like Pop.

Trump tells PA that he can tax other countries.

[Hardcore troubadour 14,934]

THey are already lining up in NYC for the Trump rally. This must have been what it was like when the Beatles came to America.

Do they really believe that? That the tariff will not be passed on to them and will be a form of a tax?

[Hardcore troubadour 14,934]

Tariffs to protect American jobs. I’m cool paying for that.

A tariff is a tax on the import or export of goods between countries. 

[Gepetto 1,289]

The U.S. Constitution empowers Congress to set tariffs, a power that Congress has partially delegated to the President.

Ok. Now tell me how you know this. Because Harris advertised it.

So, now Harris has lost all the votes of those who booed and they will now cast their ballots for Trump? Do you believe that?

It's a good sign.  I grew up in NE PA, Catholic Polish country.  There was no clear pro team to root for, but Penn State was the clear favorite, with Notre Dame second.

It's a bigger deal than you think.

And more recently, Van Ness said, he's been developing his faith in God. He, along with Steen, his roommate, has been attending a Penn State Christian Athletes Bible study and also learning from their teammates. 

"They always preach about having gratitude, putting faith in God and to just be blessed," Steen said about his fellow athletes and coaches in Penn State's room.

No it's not.  You're wrong and uneducated.

A tariff is a tax on imported goods. Despite what the President says, it is almost always paid directly by the importer (usually a domestic firm), and never by the exporting country. Thus, if the US imposes a tariff on Chinese televisions, the duty is paid to the US Customs and Border Protection Service at the border by a US broker representing a US importer, say, Costco.

The Chinese government pays nothing, just as the US government pays no tax to Canada for that nation’s tariffs on imported dairy products.

And passed on by the importer to the consumer, becoming a de facto tax.

Maybe.  I didn't know PA voters were so low IQ that they took their voting decisions from wrestlers.

Transgender weight lifters have endorsed Harris/ Walz

Penn State wrestlers are a different breed, I wouldn’t use them as any sort of indication for other folks their age.  They don’t normally talk politics (although as an athlete, one of their current coaches was very pro-Trump but has since deleted his x account), but many of them are not shy about talking about how awesome they think Jesus is (and it obviously works for them).

[TimHauck 2,619]

Also the wrestling community as a whole (where PA is by far the best state) leans right.  For example here is the coach at an Olympic Training program affiliated with Ivy League UPenn

I figured you'd chime in on a wrestling thread.

I mean I do think it’s cool that Trump had them up there, but it’s a bit of pandering IMO.  And like I said I just wouldn’t use this as any general indication of PSU students’ opinions.

I didn't say that they represented the average PSU student opinion.  Nobody cares about those, anyway.  But as you know, people like Penn State wrestling.

You say pandering, I say politicking.

You may have said that somewhat tongue in cheek, does something about this actually make you think “PA is his?”
