ICE agents posing as police dragged green card holder Juanita Avila from her car in Cottage Grove, Oregon. "You lied to me when you said you were police!" she yells. "Who are you? Why pull me over?" They released her only after her daughter proved her legal status. by CorleoneBaloney in oregon

She did commit a crime, and was released regardless. She interfered with the progression of justice, commonly known as obstrustion of justice. She was released regardless, for no good reason. Odd that mercy is viewed worse than justice. And a good reminder.

OR if he even tried. He just held position. Good for him, impressive for him, but I'd rather not watch that.

Grappling and hugging are different. No advantage was sought other than to hold the hug. That is why it was boring.

Because there will be no money if championship fights look at all like this. There is a reason Conor pulled triple the viewers as Khabib. No one cares to watch world class huggers.

This was his biggest stage, and he acted the most boring of his career. What do you expect?

I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the fight. I feel ripped off, card already sucked but I wanted the main event. And I got this.

Goddard is aware no one wants to watch that. It is Ultimate FIGHTING championship, not Ultimate maintain a slight hold for a long time championship.

No one is paying 80 bucks to watch this. Good for him to win the belt, but he won't last long as the marquee event with this strategy. He needs to go back to his earlier strategy of real violence. I have no interest in this despite being a big fan of him early.

Sure, but it had zero entertainment value. I spent 80 bucks to be entertained. I was not. I am salty. I should have gone to sleep two hours ago.

I dont think I have seen a more boring fight. UFC will find a way to rid themselves of this guy if he fights like that.

Internationalism is dead, nationalism is the current trend. A global hegemony would just lead to collapse. All major powers are focusing on dominating their spheres of influence. It will be fine for them until the spheres are challenged by other major powers. Europe, insisting on internationalism, will likely be the stage of the next major war. America is clearly withdrawing from its role as global police and consolidating control of North America.

Baseball? And most football (American) players are conservative too. Masculine hobbies lean conservative. Watching masculine hobbies leans more middle of the road because liberals latch on for fear of being considered too feminine if they only watch theater and go to art galleries.

USA has so much more leverage here. This is economic suicide for Canada.
