Right! So next time we give them money it’ll be my tax dollars then?
I'm not sure how we stop Iran from going nuclear, but the only thing it looks like Biden is going to send them is your tax dollars via 500-2000 lb bombs for now. It's not going to be easy to make a deal to stop proliferation with anyone if you have presidents pulling out of deals on a whim. Ask trump if it was worth $150B of Iran's own money to stop it, and he'd say no. Now we have very limited options, but it would have been harder for them to build it with the deal in place
Here's what trump said, “The Iran deal is defective at its core. If we do nothing, we know exactly what will happen. In just a short period of time, the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, will be on the cusp of acquiring the world’s most dangerous weapons.”
Here's what trump did to stop it: NOTHING(ie the art of the deal)

Is Joe putting them on double secret probation? That’ll show ‘em Joe! And if that doesn’t work just send over a plane load of my money.
That was an unfreezing of Iranian assets, which was part of the nuclear agreement between pretty much all the civilized nations of the world. That money, which was held up as sanctions, did not come from the USA, but rather was tied up in foreign banks. Trump is the one who bailed on that, and made it a huge waste. All of this is contrary to Trumps tweets and Facebook memes.

You just don't have a clue man. It's like explaining algebra to a cockroach. Are you being dense intentionally?
Are these guys the same size? Cain Velasquez is 6'1 and 240. Brock Lesnar is 6"3 and 285 lbs. Please argue they are the same size....go ahead.
You ever hear of cutting weight lol?
How many years have you trained? Please tell me.
I'm talking about professional vs professional dude. So just say it. They should have women vs men as long as they're the same size...that's what you're saying right?
I train with girls all the time. We have several at my gym. When I spar are roll with them, I go light even if they're a higher belt or have more training or the same size.
The difference in strength is significant. I don't put my weight on them and if we spar, even if they block a punch, I still have enough to snap their neck back. We only allow a certain amount of guys to go with girls just because those guys can't control it and not hurt the girls.
The girl who fought the transgender specifically talked about the strength difference in the fight. But you probably think she's lying because they're the same size lol.
This is what I do and know a lot about. You don't and think you know what you're talking about....you dont.
What did you find out?
In line with what we expected, the transgender men increased muscle mass and strength significantly after 12 months of testosterone therapy. Perhaps more surprising was that the transgender women did not lose strength at all despite inhibited testosterone production. In addition, the effect on muscle mass of the transgender women was less pronounced than many people previously thought, losing only 5% of the muscle volume over the thigh muscles.
A lot of the difference in relative strength likely comes from body fat %, which is mostly due to hormones. Even among top athletes women have a higher %. Some strength difference is due to twitch fiber, but the difference in strength there is made up by endurance. Otherwise, men and women gain strength at the same rate at the same level of intensity. You can look that up. The only way trans man vs women would be fair is if the trans person were on hormone therapy. A man with 4% body fat who wears a dress would certainly hold the strength advantages that Brents claims.

lol here is where the ‘party of science’ chooses to ignore... science. What one identifies as doesn’t magically change their physiology and that’s what matters here. Biological Males and females are physiologically different and that dramatically impacts sports. It’s just a scientific fact.It's not quite so simple. All humans have varying amounts of testosterone and estrogen. Those hormones are the things that determine our sexuality, not necessarily just your chromosomes. This is evident, as you can control the way your body sexually matures by taking these hormones. A man can indeed grow breasts, and lactate. A woman taking hormones can grow facial hair. As far as this relates to the topic, there are probably very few young boys taking estrogen so they can get big and strong, and beat up all the other girls. It's counter-intuitive. It's also very, very overblown the impact people are trying to say it will have on people's lives. I try to think of it as a sliding scale of masculinity and femininity, which we all lie on somewhere. So there's really 2 sciences at work here. The chromosome AND the hormones.

It has nothing to with machismo, it has the fact that you sound totally ignorant.
I've played football and I currently train in MMA. I've been through both, just like the hundreds of guys I train with have.
Have you every had someone that knows how to stay in a mount position and you have to get them off? Doesn't sound like you do and I can tell you, it's suffocating.
If Beasley gets tackled by Suh, does Beasley have to work his way out to get and Suh tries to keep him down? No, he just gets up and they get a break.
In MMA, they keep going for the entire 3 minutes and don't stop until the round is up, someone is KO'ed/put to sleep or taps out. This is why you will see fighters sometimes gas in the first round. How many football players gas out 3 minutes in the first quarter?
Size matters much more in some sports, some it doesn't.
You're acting like someone like Suh hits Beasley on every play lol. How often does Cole Beasley get hit by a 300+ plus defensive lineman? Very, very rarely.
If Suh does tackle Beasley, does he get to stay on top of him? Does he get to take off his helmet and punch in the head/face?
This is why there's weight classes in fighting. If you have 280 lbs Brock Lesnar punch a 155 lbs Justin Gaethje in the face flush with a punch, he could kill him.
Lesnar has punch at 1,350 PSI...
I wouldn't be afraid of fighting a woman either because I'm a man.
Yes they are the same size. But you just can't grasp it's a different sport. Fighting and football are completely different and for some reason you're not understanding it.
What you're not understanding is that in MMA you will not be fighting a larger opponent. There is no weight advantage. Truth be told, it's highly unlikely there's a lot of boys who think they are girls that are just dying to decimate the ranks of female MMA when they grow up. I know this is a topic that fear mongering has everyone terrified of, and I know I probably won't convince anyone either. I'd say people are probably 75-80% against this.
Also, by your own logic, there's no way a woman could beat you, but we know that's not true. There's guaranteed mad amounts of women out there that could whoop you. Afraid or not, you'd lose badly to a lot of them. Bet

You make some excellent points. But again the FBI did an exhaustive investigation with many eye witnesses and ballistics and forensics. I have no idea why Brown did anything he did. Why walk in the middle of the street when you know the cops are looking for you cuz the store owner says he wad calling the cops? But since I wasn't there I'm gonna go with the FBI report.
I only brought up Obama and Eric Holder cuz these weren't some cracker red necks trying to throw a black dude under the bus. They ran an objective and thorough investigation IMHO.
Bro, not just walking in the middle of the street, but not even putting the stolen merchandise in your pocket to conceal it? Then mouthing off, then attacking?? That's a Biden; C'mon man. It's almost like Brown was saying, arresting me is not enough officer, I'm begging for you to shoot me. As we've learned since gunpowder has been invented, people are very averse to being shot. Maybe we'll find some lost tapes. One lady did say she recorded it, and gave to police. Not sure if that was true, though.

https://amgreatness.com/2021/02/23/why-do-the-elections-defenders-require-my-agreement/
--snip
The 2020 election came down to a narrower margin than the 2016 contest: fewer than 43,000 rather than 77,000 votes in just three states. In 2016, nothing fishy in Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin—the states on which 2016 turned—was detected. Certainly nothing like:
Counting shutdowns in five states, in which one candidate was ahead, only to lose after the counting resumed;
“Found” tranches of ballots going overwhelmingly—sometimes exclusively—to one candidate, the eventual “winner”;
Sworn affidavits alleging the backdating of ballots;
Historically low rejection rates—as in, orders of magnitude lower—of mail-in ballots, suggesting that many obviously invalid ballots were accepted as genuine;
Mail-in and absentee ballots appearing without creases, raising the question of how they got into the envelopes required for their being mailed in;
Thousands upon thousands of ballots all marked for one presidential candidate without a single choice marked for any down-ballot candidate.
The absolute refusal to conduct signature audits—indeed, the discarding of many envelopes which alone make such audits possible—i.e., of the kind of recounts which are performed not merely to get the math right but to evaluate the validity of ballots;
Other statistical and historical anomalies too numerous to mention here.
--snip
All these anomalies in favor of democrats. Any one of these would be fishy to some extent.
All of them - in favor of democrats is pretty close to a statistical impossibility imho.
Most definitely NOT baseless.
But yeah, like Saul Alinsky says, scream the other side is doing what you're doing.
The only thing that was in favor of Democrats was large dumps from metropolitan areas. You're not going to get large dumps in rural areas. Surely you can understand that. Everything else you listed has no bias to either candidate whatsoever. Now, who in 2020 said, "stop counting the ballots", because he saw that the large cities where it took longer to report(due to sheer amount of tabulations)were closing the gap?? That would be Donald J. t-rump. What could possibly be FISHIER than that, besides maybe him claiming it was rigged before it even started. He tried everything in his power to subvert the election, and you have NO issue with that at all. Sad!

Thank you Trump voters
The last part of it is likely the most overlooked, yet the most damning. The stock market might be the least accurate measure of how well 98% of your citizens are doing on a personal level. Before someone brings up retirements, keep in mind that all of it can be lost as quickly as it was gained. Should hedge managers be allowed to pick away at our retirement? If Americans have to spin the wheel of fortune to hope for a decent life after working hard for 50 years, then that's pretty sad. I'll just take the pensions like people used to get, before shareholders took all the dividends and CEO's all the profits. I think a 'WHAT TRUMP SAID ABOUT COVID ONE YEAR AGO TODAY THREAD' is in order. It would put the stupidity in perspective.

Again, it's a different sport.
When the smaller player is tackled, the PLAY IS OVER. They get up and they go back to the huddle. A tackle is one hit essentially.
An MMA fighter takes punches over and over and over and over. The guy on top is doing his best to keep the guy down and weight is a gigantic advantage with that.
Not to mention....NFL football players are all male!
Does this happen in football?
I played football and I train in MMA now. It sounds like you haven't done either.
I played football a long time ago, but don't see the relevance here other than a possible machismo jab, which is about totally useless on an internet forum. Now, what you have done with your photo is provide evidence for me. What do those 2 men have in common?? They are THE SAME SIZE. Which MMA do you plan on participating in that has a guy with a gigantic weight advantage taking on another???? As I've already said, wrestling/boxing/MMA, pretty much any mano mano(no pun intended) physical combat is going to be with people of relatively equal stature. Lastly, I'm not the one afraid of a woman my size coming into MMA, and whooping my ass.

And you can quote statistics to me all day if you'd like to but the systemic racism fife and drum core have lost their mission statement. If this is really about changing policing, then it should stay there....with policing. Don't try and make it about everything and everyone in America. You also have to know that citing statistics about crime response percentages doesn't take into account the proportion of the crimes themselves. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know there is more street crime committed in poor neighborhoods. So, is the cause of the crime really due to the color of their skin, or is it the thickness of their wallets? If you can alleviate the poverty, you will eliminate a lot of the crime. Statistics can be a tricky thing!
Then by that standard, after the insurrection, the right has no more claim to Democrat socialist ruining America, because no one has gone farther down the craphole than them. I agree the far left goes too far, but were mostly just discussing policing here. it seems that you're starting to understand that socioeconomic status is also a large factor here, too. I certainly can't see how anyone could try to say that humans who left Africa sooner than others are less likely to commit crimes. I think everyone would agree that any humans predisposition to commit crime is not based on how much melanin their skin has. It seems we may agree on this more than we initially thought.

You're gonna have to take that up with the Obama/Biden administration and the Eric Holder justice Department. They did a full investigation using forensics, ballistics (you know,science) and eyewitness interviews. They found the "hands up, don't shoot" story to be BS and found insufficient evidence to file charges.
You can read it here: https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/doj_report_on_shooting_of_michael_brown_1.pdf
I wasn't trying to make it political. It just doesn't take into account what Michael Brown could have been thinking. There's nothing logical about what they said his actions were. What sounds most logical to me is that he was running, and when he heard bullets whizzing by, he thought better, then turned around to surrender. Saying he decided that he must have thought it was a good idea to turn, and cover 35 feet with his pants falling down to try to get to the guy firing at him makes no sense at all. I'd also guess the cop was terrified, because he had already had to fight MB for his weapon, and wasn't going for round 2 of that, so in that respect I can see how it's justified. We'll never know what really happened.

Because playing football and fighting are completely different.The goal of the fight is to hurt your opponent where he can no longer fight.
Cole Beasley runs away from people like Suh on a football field that’s 100 yards long and 53 yards wide. When people get tackled, they stop the play.
When a MMA fighter gets taken to the ground, he stays on you and continues trying to hurt you.
If Cole Beasley was tackled by Suh, didn’t have any pads on and Suh continues to thrown punches....then yes people would be upset.
The physical stature of a women is smaller than men.
So when does it stop? Eventually UFC will be men against women if we are going to make it inclusive?
Bigger, stronger players meet smaller, weaker players in football on every single play, many times causing injury. It was designed that way. A 200 lb running back is almost always met by someone much larger and stronger. As far as MMA/boxing, they have weight classes, and you aren't forced to fight anyone you don't want to. Money is the name of the game there, and people take fights based on that and only that. Like I said if they offer to pay a women handsomely to fight a transgender, they will almost certainly take the fight. Logic, on the other hand, would dictate you should only fight someone you think you might beat.

Not another Olympic boycott! All this does is hurt the athletes. It proves little else. If our political leaders are upset with the policies and behavior of the host country, maybe they should get off their comfortable rear ends and pass some real legislation that actually does something about the issue, instead of using innocent and unpaid athletes to make their 'statements' for them!
Good point. If you're statement on human rights abuses is we won't play bobsled and luge with you, then you aren't all that worried about human rights.

Lol.
So basically if it has a fence around it, then it's a concentration camp, regardless of what's actually taking place inside it. When the Russians took back Auschwitz, and all the Nazi's were gone, was it still a concentration camp??

Below is quote from the other female fighter that fought the Transgender.
“I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because she was born a man or not because I’m not a doctor. I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right. Her grip was different, I could usually move around in the clinch against other females but couldn’t move at all in Fox’s clinch," Brents told Whoa TV.
I honestly can't these fighting federations allow this. She still has a male muscle mass, structure and strength. It's a man beating a woman and that's disgusting.
I'm curious to see if a transitioning female to man is going to fight men?
Moving forward and the trend continues, they're going to have to have a separate transgender class. It's just too dangerous.
If we paid her to fight again, but paid her like Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, I wonder if she'd still cry about it. This is purely a political statement. I can't believe America is going to fight over volleyball scholarships. How about work on making college affordable for everyone, then we can get rid of the stupid sports scholarships, which are designed solely to allow universities to cash in on athletics. As usual the Republicans are ignoring the REAL problem, and hiding it behind something divisive. Every sport known to man has different sized athletes, and those that don't have weight classes. Why does no one get mad that Beasley weighs 170, and benches 180, while Suh weighs 315, and benches 400? Also, why can't sports be inclusive? The old, stupid argument used to be because of the locker rooms. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, sports are just games created for fun.
I found this interesting tidbit, which seems to shed some light on the "Karen effect" of why older women are unreasonable:
Popular opinion may state otherwise, but our data shows that women are actually more logical than men, at least before they get older. In fact, women scored an average of 63% in our logical reasoning tests, compared with an average of 59% for men. Interestingly, these scores were almost completely reversed after the age of 55, with men scoring 64% and women coming in behind at 59%.

We really don't know any of those answers yet. We probably won't for some time. We went almost half a century before seat belts were added to cars. Not sure of your age, but I when I was kid we all just road around in cars....no belts, no airbags, nothing. The virus will evolve I'm sure, some of that will be for the better and some most likely for the worse...but people have to get on with their lives.
Drivers and passengers complained that seat belts were uncomfortable and restrictive, but the uproar over mandatory seat belt laws was mostly ideological. One of Hollister’s colleagues in the Michigan House called the seat belt bill “a pretty good lesson in mass hysteria created by a corporate-controlled media” and warned that the government would outlaw smoking next. Another said that anyone who voted for the bill should be recalled.
Does that sound familiar???/ Blaming the media is not a new idea, but it's still just as stupid.
“An enormous political backlash ensued,” says Jerry Mashaw, professor emeritus at the Yale Law School and co-author of The Struggle for Auto Safety. “Congress received more letters from Americans complaining about [the interlock mechanism] than they did about Nixon’s ‘Saturday Night Massacre.’”
Also sounds VERY familiar///

Also, why not just tell people NOT to touch the mask, instead of insinuating it might get you infected. testing and contact tracing are VERY effective, and have saved tons of lives, which in no way "makes us look bad".

-President Donald Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he believes some Americans are wearing masks during the coronavirus pandemic to express their disapproval of him and not as a preventive measure.
-The president also said his issue with masks is that people sometimes touch the facial coverings, which increases the chance of infection.
-He went on to say he thinks "testing is overrated," adding, "I created the greatest testing machine in history."
-Trump said, however, that more testing in the US has led to an increase in confirmed cases which "in many ways, it makes us look bad."

People will balance risk just like they do every time they get behind the wheel or board a plane.
Did we get to pre-Spanish Flu, pre-polio, pre-smallpox, pre-MMR??? Also, do you mean balance risk like wearing a seatbelt? Having airbags installed? In 1973 there were 30 commercial aircraft accidents of 19 or more fatalities. In 2017 there were 0. Looks like using data, and making changes works sometimes.
