🤼Aonishiki keeps it simple, controlling center and keeping Atamifuji on the edge until he's able to force him out yorikiri. Aonishiki moves to 10-2 and in control of his own destiny; Atamifuji falls to 9-3 and needs some help.

🤼Shishi gets a chance to play with the big boys in every sense, facing 180kg komusubi-ranked Oho. And it's not pretty but Shishi keeps his feet through some stumbles and gets the hatakikomi slap down. Oho falls to 4-8, Shishi now 9-3. Is Shishi... good?

🤼Day 12! Midorifuji digs that right underhook, probably looking for his patented katasukashi, but Shodai counters by *cranking* the overhook - musa-dori - and spinning Midorifuji out with the kotenage arm lock throw. Shodai evens his record to 6-6, Midorifuji 5-7.

"Bring in a bunch of elite Soviet wrestlers who barely know anything about pro wrestling and let them cook" was such a genius idea. King of Sports indeed.
And for anyone following along and this deep into the thread, here's the whole 5x5. It's very fun.

Ah, the classic mistake - believing people can and will read.
Mueller admitted, more or less privately, that he assumed people would read his report and based on what it said, be like, "there is a lot of smoke, but we never found the gun or the body because of ALL THE OBSTRUCTION. YOU KNOW, THE CRIMES. BAD ONES."
we give garland a lot flak, and rightfully so, but looking jack smith's opening statement, i think we're all way too kind letting robert mueller slink back into the shadows

I absolutely believe 7th grade civics-class ideas about America as a nation of immigrants and free people
At the end of the day, this is why you can't take anything Stancil does seriously. He's not a serious person with serious political ideas. He's an idiot with a concept of america formed by 7th grade civics class. He is exactly the kind of idiot that got us into this mess.
