I'd put big money on her on the golf course against Trump, and I'm not joking.
She's pretty good.
My mainstream Evangelical Congregational Baptist Church is thriving right now. Private Faith-based schools are popping up like Spring morels. The young shall lead the way.
Hopefully this survives 98 days of disinformation campaign… and the old saw you can’t fool all the people all of the time holds true. Equity for all is a road to misery. If no one can get ahead … the invisible hand from the Wealth of Nations got hand cuffed behind the back.
Which path have you chosen, wrt your place in the party?
Facts, math, economics, and history back me up. Because "someone says so", is why we're trying to MAGA.
Bro, I grew up watching Georgia Championship Wrestling on TBS on Saturday mornings. And I grew up in Michigan! More kids need the opportunity to watch saturday a.m. wrestling on the Superstation
The best!!!! We had wrestling at the chase followed by soccer made in Germany. A one hour show 🤣. You didn’t get the entire game
What is cancel culture but an extension of capitalism and the right to choose and the exercise of free speech? Was not cancel culture used with Bud Light? Didn't bother me a bit. It was tried on the Barbie movie--except it didn't work.
What is group think? Obedience? I'd like some specific examples.
"The GOP, and Trump, are dragging us back to where individuals mean something?" Again, I'm struggling with concepts here that have no concrete application --just words on a page.
So many boogeymen.
As i understand it, wrestling at the Chase was a pretty huge deal back in the day. Sill, there was something special about watching on Saturday a.m with a studio of wrestling fans and watching a bunch of old women yell and scream at Ole Anderson
It was indeed. I met all those guys. Andre. King kong Brody. Ric flair. Dick the bruiser. I had a messed up uncle from Vietnam that was a cabbie and a real funny drunk who befriended all those guys and would drive them around
I met Flair at a Blackhawks game with Bob Probert. Probert was awesome. Flair, not so much.
Mine was Championship Wrestling from Memphis, Tennessee. Jerry the King, the Fabulous Ones, Jeff Jarrett, and the goat... Andy Kaufman.
Definitely. I was almost exclusively a mid Atlantic and GCW but the Memphis shit with Andy Kaufman was amazing
I’m obsessed with start ups and love watching documentaries on same. Could you imagine the personalities that had to be dealt with to consolidate all that shit like crazy McMahon did. You’d have to have the perfect combo of ignorance narcissism elephant balls intelligence and alligator skin
All inconsequential when compared to WCCW pulling 14 ratings and killing SNL from some tin warehouse in Dallas.
The best of times...

Most recent example is the lockdowns, masks, distancing and other pandemic “expert” advice.
This got ugly with vaccine mandates and caused real damage.
And this.
Capitalism? Dont know how you learned it, but what happened to Jennifer Sey at Levi’s doesn’t fit any definition of capitalism that I know about.
Public education is all about group think and obedience. Americans are becoming more stupid because of this
Why are Americans becoming more stupid?

I love how you, a lawyer, put quotes around "expert" in reference to people that dictated a pandemic playbook. I'm always baffled by the continuing education of internet doctors over guys and gals who do this for a living. Seems to me that you would also be a groupthink victim then because you part of continuing large segment of the population that has been entraptured and trapped by their own dogma. Groupthink if you will.
I'm sure you realize that the United States' history with pandemics is limited, but generally the practice for dealing with pandemics stems from how the US responded to the spanish flu. Masks. School closures. Social distancing, blah blah. Nobody lied to you, well, except the great pumpkin
So the woke mob killed Jennifer Sey huh? Perahps Ms. Sey would have been better served as employee (and part of a leadership team), if she hadn't called out employees for being fat tubs of shit. Weird that she resigned from Levi's and never got a drop of compensation. You can't be an executive at a publically traded company and be abusive. Unless you are Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk which are nothing more than a cult of personality business.
What is woke? Seriously, it has this ambgious meaning that seems to change. Was Jesus woke? I can take the 9 beautitudes in Mathew and the 4 and look and rightfully think nearly all would be chastized for being woke.
I read GCW, which is a very, very different style of wrestling fed today and then realized you were talking about Georgia.
Been to a couple GCW shows. One dude got thrown off a stage and another went through glass that had been lit on fire.
It was ****ing nuts.
Every lawyer has run across “experts” and experts. Denying that distinction is itself a problem.
The point of the pandemic example isn’t to argue the merits of this response. Instead, our pandemic response is a pretty good example of a world dominated by distant authoritarian elites pushing uniformity, obedience and suppression of individualism. Hell, California even passed a statute threatening the license if MD’s who deviated from certain commands.
You can call recognizing the value of individualism and individual ideas a dogma if you want to, but that is the opposite of dogma for me.
Woke is how morons or over-educated incompetents believe they advance important social causes.
You weren't around in the COHVAC days, were you? Good times.
So basically you believe that we are living an Orwellian society, dominated by the radical left, and your savior is everything MAGA. No groupthink there at all. If my memory is correct, you have supported the right side of the equation with all the fervor of zealot.
Please tell me what individual rights/ideas you believe are threatened. Would it be your right to have an abortion without government interference? I would agree with you. Seems to me you pining for a civil libertarianism? The oldest Christian church, the Catholic Church, even addresses individualism: "if we pray the Our Father sincerely, we leave individualism behind, because the love that we receive frees us ... our divisions and oppositions have to be overcome". Obviously, there is more than one meaning to individualism.
So undereducated or "just sufficiently educated enough" non-morons who advance similar ideas/concepts who not be woke?
Doing a little digging on the phrase "woke" as applied to society.
1923, Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican activist wrote "Wake up, Ethiopia! Wake up Africa" in an effort to call the Black diaspora to social activism. https://www.naacpldf.org/woke-black-bad/. Famous blues singer and musician Lead Belly wrote "Scottsboro Boys" as warning to Blacks to stay wary. https://www.naacpldf.org/woke-black-bad/
1962 William Melvin Kelley wrote an essay about white people appropriating Black slang terms and destroying their meaning. https://www.nytimes.com/1962/05/20/...o-mickey-mouse-can-be-expected-to-follow.html
Back to the current era. DeSantis said the definition is "[g]enerally, the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.” Then in his book he added another definition “What constitutes ‘woke’ is open to debate, but for the left, a fundamental attribute of wokeness is the subordination of facts and evidence to anecdote and ideology.”
Tommy Tuberville was asked to define woke, and naturally stepped all over himself and just talked about transgender, school curriculum and church-state separation.
I could go on and on about the the myriad definitions, including your goofy definition. But it seems to me that if you keep adopting different definitions of the "woke", it becomes a bit of a tautology and everything must be true. How much cross-over is there between woke and your definition and application of individualism?
you are a 70s and 80s guy right? The first thing you should have recalled is Ole Anderson very calmly telling the television audience that he was going to break arms and necks at the Omni--and you 100% believed him. Then again, I also believed back then that Abdullah the Butcher was really from the Sudan and not some guy from Alabama named Larry Shreve....Ignorance was wonderful back then
The Von Erich boys were a good looking crew. They undoubtedly had more pieces of fanny than I have had hot meals.....
I think it's still amazing that Kerry was able to wrestle with a prosthetic foot.
Nobody knew...at least on the outside.
Iron Claw makes Kevin the alpha dog of the crew, but circa 1981-1988, Kerry definitely seemed the #1 Von Erich. Maybe because all the chicks dug him?
David was the guy that was anointed as the next NWA champion until he passed away. I think Kerry was the better athlete and looked like a million bucks and I think the NWA felt like that was their Hulk Hogan answer. Except Kerry loved the drugs. Such a shame.
Their family could not have dealt with more tragedy. The oldest kid Jack died when he was a just a little kid from electrocution; Mike committed suicide; Kerry committed suicide; Chris, the youngest brother, committed suicide and the old man thought it would be totally normal for a 5'4" kid who suffered from such severe asthma that he stopped growing and had brittle bones, to wrestle....6 kids, 5 deaths before their parents and 4 of them were suicides. Fritz, who was a helluva good football player at SMU, had been married for 42 years to the same woman (and mom of all the boys), until she divorced him right after Chris committed suicide.
Terrible story. In spite of this, Kevin encouraged his two sons to take up wrestling. Same with Kerry's wife who encouraged her daughters to take up wrestling. I cannot fathom the rationale.
