  1. I actually had high hopes for him. I figured he would be an adult after the election and get to the business of running the country in a functional way. I was very wrong.
  2. By bilking people out of money and trading on his dad's name and connections. Trump didn't start at the bottom. Thinking he is successful on his own would be like congratulating somebody scoring a game winning run from 3rd base on a walk off home run. Without the hundreds of millions and the right connections from his dad, among other things, he wouldn't have gotten anywhere. Kind of telling that he would be worth more if he had taken the money his dad gave him and put it into indexed funds and done nothing else. Instead he embarked on decades long projects and developments that have yielded surprisingly little. But because he had his dad to bail him out behind the scenes, it perpetuated the con job he was successful. That's when he really believed it and people lent him money and he started failing for real. The reason he isn't flat broke is because of advice he gave convicted fraudster Bruce McNall. McNall said that Trump told him his mistake was he didn't borrow enough. If you have enough people invested into you from the big banks or whoever, they can't let you fail. That is how Trump has basically gotten away with being who he is. It is in some people's interest that he not fail. So in the meantime he is just a clown living on credit until people decide he isn't useful anymore.
  3. Pro: He behaves like an adult, he understands what the President is supposed to do, he isn't an asshole to everyone. Con: He inherited a mess of problems from his predecessor, he's 80 years old, he isn't forceful enough in getting his positions across.
  4. Also apparently a space laser expert too.
  5. He would have to pay the transfer fee, which is around $10,000. You're allowed one transfer. Maybe 2 if there are certain circumstances.
  6. Has Biden operated a form he inherited and been notorious about ripping off contractors? There are 3 reasons Trump doesn't pay his bills. He is broke, he is cheap or the people he owes money to realize it isn't worth the trouble so they cut their losses. Biden isn't perfect by any means. But he is leaps and bounds more qualified than a guy who has never had to work a real job or do anything for himself ever.
  7. So you think a guy who is morally and probably financially bankrupt, or at least in massive debt, is a better choice? Trump has basically turned everything he has touched to shit. If his dad didn't bail him out he would have lost his casinos a lot sooner than he did. I think wanting an adult who isn't prone to getting into fights on Twitter with teenagers as president is something most rational people want.
  8. Carlton Haselrig was the same.
  9. The crowd looked bigger for Greco. Or maybe it's just my imagination.
  10. It looked like they were administering CPR to Argentina on Mat B. Glad to see he was resuscitated to immediately give up 4 points and lose.
  11. Valencia earned a caution against Venezuela to make it 8-5 but comes up short.
  12. Valencia down 8-0 has him right where he wants him. Venezuela with the "Captain Insano" gets warned. Valencia tries a flying headlock turn and goes out of bounds. Wins the challenge that would've ended the match on a tech fall.
  13. RBY with a 10-6 win. Chippy match. Venezuela had a couple of nice overhand rights. I thought that might hurt him in the later rounds if he didn't keep his hands up.
  14. RBY in an early 4-0 hole. Comes back with a takedown and a Simmons turn. Venezuela almost passed away and is back to wrestling.
  15. Destribats down 9-0 makes a comeback effort that falls short and loses 10-6 to Cuba.
  16. Hanna from the Bahamas, and also of Campbell U looking like a winner here. Challenge by his opponent but nothing to really challenge.
