Hello all, The following is an updated and summarized guideline of Huskerboard’s policy surrounding politically-themed content, specifically in areas outside of the Politics & Religion (P&R) sub forum, though not exclusively. If you have questions or concerns, please comment below or send a private message to a board moderator or admin. No politically-themed content in status updates Please do not share news or commentary related to politics, policies, elected officials, the president, or topics that would fall under the political umbrella. The P&R forum is the only place to share these opinions and discuss a candidate, elected official, or policy. No politically-themed content in Huskerboard user profiles This limitation extends to profile avatars, user names, signatures, and other forward-facing aspects of user profiles including those featured in posts and updates. Moderator/admin discretion will determine what is acceptable and what isn't. Deference will not be given to ambiguity If a mod or admin believes some element of a user profile violates any of the above, that user will be required to remove the violation. Refusal to do so in a timely fashion may result in the account being moderated and/or suspended until the violation is corrected. The account may also face a ban if the violation is deemed intentional, the user has a history of abusing this policy, or at moderator/admin discretion. Only members with a minimum of 250 posts will be granted access to the Politics & Religion sub-forum The limit is in place to prevent abuse of the P&R sub-forum, however, Board Guidelines will still be enforced to the fullest extent once a member is granted access. If a moderator/admin believes a member with less than 250 posts is trying to improperly increase their post count in order to access the sub-forum, the member in question may face penalties up to and including a Huskerboard account ban. Actions that may be considered improper include, but are not limited to, multiple and repeated posts in the 'Last to Post Wins' thread, multiple posts in a thread when a single post would've sufficed, or multiple posts across several threads that appear to be of no real value. If this behavior is uncovered posthumously, after a member is granted access to the P&R sub-forum, that member may still be held accountable for their actions up to and including a Huskerboard account ban. Why such a hardline stance against politics? Most users come here for the primary reason of discussing Husker sports. The board has experienced situations in the past where political debates made their way into other forums outside of P&R. These debates often featured personal attacks or other board violations. Some members have also complained the political spillover into other parts of the board is a turn off. Keeping political discussions inside the P&R forum gives users a specific place they can go to discuss these topics. As always, any political comments made in the P&R section must adhere to our Board Rules. Thank you, Huskerboard's Leadership Team

If you like Adolph Schicklgruber and/or shady characters with names like Genovese and Gambino, you are gonna really love D(er) Trump(ino): he's the total package! Well, I've already made my sentiments re: Trump and the little Austrian guy with the small mustache fairly well known on the msg board here, so let's turn our attention to Trump(ino) and the THUG LIFE, shall we? "Look at that face!" "Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!" From "21 Questions for Donald Trump: Well, you get the picture. And then there's security: When a group of troublemaking Americans, at least some of them suspiciously ethnic looking, showed up at a Donald Trump event with a banner reading "TRUMP: Make America Racist Again," Donald Trump's security guard leaped into action to prevent this travesty of free speech from sullying a perfectly lovely Trumpian shindig. And then there are the "fans" of Trump, only the best and brightest: All this thug Life harkens one back to that cinematic cult classic, "The Idiocracy", where, you know, the prez was a WWF kingpin: Oh wait! Well, I'm sure D(er) Trump(ino) will supply us with more fodder in the days and weeks to come, but just remember Mur'ca: you get the politicians that you deserve....

Apparently the folks at NARAL are up in arms that the folks that make Doritos have the audacity to "humanize" human fetuses. Am I missing something here in terms of human development where human fetuses are not human until some kind of magical transformation takes place?

THE SANDERS PLAN TO LOWER PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES https://berniesanders.com/issues/fighting-to-lower-prescription-drug-prices/

Press: 1--for German 2--for Chinese 3--for Spanish 4--for Arabic 5--for Ingles 5--"beeep" Hello Sports Fans and fellow political aficionados! Provided here is a thread in which to air out your dirty laundry: that is, their dirty laundry. The politicos, that is. Pretty simple to do, just pick any politico not named "Bernie Sanders" and if you dig, even just a little bit, you will find enough piles of garbage for a land fill. "So much the dirt, so short the life", or something like that. Knowing more about your favorite politicians can really help, you know, when it comes to voting--it might even matter. But as Mark Twain(or somebody) once said, "if voting actually worked, they'd make it illegal". Anyway, I'll start. Today's Dirt Candidate is the one and only RepubliKlan Senate Majority leader, Mitch McConnell: read on: http://www.thenation.com/article/mitch-mcconnells-freighted-ties-shadowy-shipping-company/

Arpaio could be the most suitable running mate for Der Trump--2 fine fascists. Between Der Trump's 'Wall' and Arpaio's concentration camps in the desert of AZ, seems the 2 fine fascists could solidify their sociopolitical(sociopathic) platform that the cause of everyone's problems everywhere is to be blamed on Latino 'illegal immigrants' who have supplanted American Blacks as the new most oppressed class--though Blacks, occupying the most economically sacrificed areas of urban America--e.g., the miles upon miles of desolate, refugee camp style row houses of Baltimore, MD( http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7435/9599935705_c2d72a339a_b.jpg)--and being increasingly gunned down in cold blood by increasingly racist/fascist cops, might still offer up an argument to the contrary.

Ran across this video the other day. I'm no climate scientist, but what this guy has to say is pretty dang encouraging about our mid-range energy future.
