To the first bolded statement - Mueller found no evidence of collusion. Period, end of story. To the second - Maybe they didn't but JFK did. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/07/1960-electoral-college-certificates-false-trump-electors-00006186 mspart

That their impeachments were farces? mspart

Methinks that needs Congressional approval. So it may not happen that way. Or, the feds could pay for it as a loan for Baltimore/Maryland to pay back over time. This would be more palatable to me. Use the interest payments to bring down the debt to start that conversation. mspart

Were you like minded with the impeachments of Trump Vak? Of Clinton? Of Johnson? mspart

Oh yes, it was intentional. There is very little doubt about that. No one is saying it wasn't. And I would say that is impeachable if you had 67 Senators that were like minded. If you don't, there is no reason to waste the time. Impeachment is nothing unless you have the numbers. Then it means something. mspart

I ahven't heard that Gable has signed up. Unless, that info comes in, he's committed to WWE and not USAWrestling. mspart

I assume Gable did not sign up for the OTTs by yesterday. So Taylor, Snyder, Parris mspart

SL NL JB There you go. mspart

There are a lot of hammers at 57kg. Tough to really predict who will be the Trials winner. mspart

Probably Iowa will not win another while Cael is at Penn State. What if Cael decided he needed another challenge and picked up and went somewhere else? mspart

It is stupid to impeach without like mindedness in the Senate. Sure a message is being sent but it is an empty action. Unless they have something that both sides HAVE to condemn, no good comes from it. The Ds tried it twice. It didn't work either time. So what good did it do in the end? In fact they tried to remove him from office just days before he left office. What an idiotic thing to do. mspart

Here you go RV. Now you can say you have heard of this from liberals. Wiki, NBC, WP, TheHill, NPR LATimes. Quite cherry picked. The idea of the impeachment of Trump started in December before he took office. Why? Because he wasn't legitimate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efforts_to_impeach_Donald_Trump https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/meet-the-press-70-years/john-lewis-trump-won-t-be-legitimate-president-n706676 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hillary-clinton-trump-is-an-illegitimate-president/2019/09/26/29195d5a-e099-11e9-b199-f638bf2c340f_story.html https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/334972-poll-dems-dont-accept-trump-as-legitimate-president/ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/nov/08/donald-trump-illegitimate-president-rebecca-solnit https://www.npr.org/2019/06/28/737008785/jimmy-carter-says-he-sees-trump-as-an-illegitimate-president https://www.denverpost.com/2018/12/14/president-trump-2016-election-legitimacy/ https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-heffernan-trump-illegitimate-20180728-story.html mspart

Does Crookham survive tonight or is this the time Vito gets his revenge? I have to say that Crookham has not looked dominant this whole tourney while Vito has. My heart says Ryan but my head says Vito. mspart

Bracket as of 3rd session: mspart

You know with laws as they are, if he could get in, he could do it. Many people do. mspart

I wish I could watch the match. I will be following along on Track. mspart

I'm thinking 79.5% max!! mspart

Oregon St only 1-4? Pendleton needs to do some better coaching and get better recruits. Maybe he can steal Casey Cunningham away from PSU. Who doesn't want to end up in Corvallis? 1 hour from beautiful Newport, OR on the Pacific Ocean. C'mon - Go get him!! mspart

I'm thinking the same in reverse. Perhaps bonus scoring would add quite a bit to Iowa's total, more than 1.5 points. But yes, it might be easier to reduce PSU's score. This is really interesting. I'd like to see a breakdown of it all. mspart

They got 170 in 1997. So you are saying that the current rules would have given them 171.5 only? They had a pretty dominating performance. With the 3 point takedown, would that not change any DEC to MD or MD to Tech Fall? That could make more than 1.5 point difference. Does anyone have access to the 1997 Iowa performance and detailed scoring of their matches? Meaning how many TDs, Es, NFs, Rs, Cs etc. I would guess that with the new 3 point TD and new near fall rules not in place at that time, their score would go up by more than 1.5 points. mspart

I guess we'll see if he raises it on Monday or Tuesday. mspart

https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/latest-federal-income-tax-data-2024/ So Top 1% pay 45.8% of income taxes. Top 2-5% pay 19.8% of income taxes. Top 6-10% pay 10.2% of income taxes. Top 11-25% pay 13.4% of income taxes. Top 26-50% pay 8.5% of income taxes. Top 51-100% pay 2.3% of income taxes. If you tax the rich more heavily, what does that do to their earnings? What does it do to the treasury? I think it is fairly apparent that as tax rates go up, less comes in. As tax rates go down, more comes in. I believe that is rather historical. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/laffercurve.asp This says that tax revenue is lowest at low tax rate and very high tax rate. Revenue is highest somewhere in between where it doesn't affect businesses or people adversely. If you set the lowest tax rate at 10%, the next at 52% and the next at 100%, there will be very little incentive to make more money that will get taxed at 10%. People will not work harder to make more money that is immediately taken away from them. That is logical. mspart mspart

Yet he doesn't. What is a fair share? Maybe the discussion can evolve from there. mspart

How does Iowa's record change with the new scoring rules? Needs to be apples to apples. mspart

I'd say it is too early to count PSU out. I'd like to but I think it is just too early. mspart
