The chart isn't meaningless, but it is misleading. It doesn't account for inflation - $1 dollar added to the national debt in the 1920s went a lot further than $1 dollar in 2024. So any graph dealing with government spending from any country will look similar. But, once again, I'll say that dealing with government spending is impossible for a number of reasons. When accounting for % of GDP, the national debt is high but it isn't the One major policy mistake made over the last several administrations has been that they did not issue longer term bonds at near 0% rates. I'm not an economist nor am I an expert in Fiscal Policy, but I'd hope the government has a plan to better take advantage of the next time the United States finds itself in a near 0% interest rate environment.

Please Football gods, let this happen during the season.

I'm with you on this. Nebraska has a lot of pieces, but it remains to be seen how Nebraska can move the football without the QB run game. Nebraska's offense for most of the last 5 years has been option football - with the exception being Casey Thompson chucking the ball to Trey Palmer. The RBs are all serviceable but not amazing. The OL was actually a very improved unit last year but still had moments of struggling. And our WR room is largely unknown -- we didn't have the QB to throw WRs the ball to see what they can actually do. All of this doesn't mean that Nebraska is going to be bad on offense. But let's not act like there aren't questions to how effective they will be, particularly with Satterfield calling plays... who struggled to say the least.

It's a process. I do think Rhule's strategy could pay dividends - keeping a very large roster that eventually becomes 4 and 5 year seniors is something Nebraska can do. Supplementing 4* talent - even if limited - can be effective with an older, experienced roster. Can Nebraska build and maintain that roster in the era of the transfer portal? It's a risky strategy, but with Nebraska's limited recruiting base it may be the only strategy that can mitigate the Blue Chip gap.

I don't hate 3* players. It's not a good strategy to have your recruiting class be 3/4ths of them.

The primary difference being that, in this instance, it sets a precedent for authoritarianism. See above. Congrats on creating this. Wish I could say that it was difficult to see coming and that Trump really veered off course, but you know, decades of being a piece of s#!t kind of eliminates that excuse.

Hopefully they land some talent. This recruiting class is lacking blue chip talent.

At a certain point, shouldn't a person look themselves in the mirror and say "wow, I'm actually going to step in front of SCOTUS and say that attempting a coup attempt, ordering the military to commit a coup, or assassinating a political rival should be allowed by Presidential immunity. Maybe this entire political movement is f#&%ing stupid, enabled by the lowest dredges of society, and I probably shouldn't be doing this" I realize looking into the mirror and asking difficult questions is kind of difficult for a certain voter who enabled all this, but lets be honest here - Trump is a catastrophic idiot enabled by elements of society who cheer his anti-American authoritarianism on because it OwNs teH LiBs.

It has a lot more to do with millions of voters who enable his behavior in the name of moronic culture war nonsense. Trump is probably going to be found to be immune from prosecution for trying to overthrow Democracy, won't end up in jail, and because the average voter is stupid beyond comprehension, he's likely to win in November.

All of that seems reasonable, Trump has a 55%-60% chance to win. Those odds seem correct.

So an election that's essentially a toss-up with Trump as a slight favorite? Honestly this seems pretty accurate.

What are the odds? I may have to get in on this action.

If my "some" you mean like 75 million, then you are correct. I still think Trump is more likely to win in November than he is to lose. Biden's poll numbers are getting better but he's nowhere near the 5% mark nationally he needs to win by in order to pull off an Electoral College victory.

Pretend for a moment that you were actually grifted into voting for this pathetic excuse for a person not once, but twice. If this applies to whomever is reading this, please evaluate your political choices and disengage from political participation.

It's the sign of ultimate electability - and he's owning the Libs by sleeping through the SHAM trial.
