what do you get out of posting that?

Knowing a kid is going to leave, because they won't ever see the field, and giving them some tape to help them find a new home is radically different than broadcasting everything to the world and giving other schools a reason to tamper with guys you plan on keeping.

Here's my take: Pursuing their ongoing understanding of climate change, scientists noticed that given the increase in global CO2, plants are capturing a larger percentage of carbon than they used to. Although this simultaneously confirms the historic increase in global carbon, the unexpected offset is welcome news. These same scientists continue their studies because they, more than anyone, realize science is never fully "settled." So naturally it should be challenged and studied, although the guy you voted for at least twice is withdrawing grants and funding for research that merely references climate change. Here's your take: See? The Earth is fixing itself. So stop being alarmists and listen to me and the election denying J6 apologist who feeds me my headlines.

Me too.

Well the FBI and CIA have always been double-edged swords. The FBI has often been the only agency that could investigate and implicate corrupt politicians of all stripes, or enforce civil rights legislation that certain localities refused to honor. That same FBI could also blackmail civil rights leaders and gaslight anti-war protestors. The agency's record improved when it was freed from J. Edger Hoover, a closeted gay man who had no problem blackmailing other closeted gay men. The CIA has a horrible history of dirty tricks, election interference, regime change, and straight up assassination. It has a somewhat better history of intelligence gathering -- the CIA accurately assessed the hidden strength of the North Vietnamese and predicted the failure of the U.S. war efforts. Not anti-war exactly, but they were the guys on the ground who know how the real world works. They got better at figuring out the Soviet Union, where more of their accurate assessments went unheeded. They became marginally less skeevy after the Church Committee investigations into the CIA, FBI, IRS and NSA in the '70s created some publicity and oversight. One thing that recently unified all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies was the unanimous conclusion that Russia was interfering in the U.S. election on behalf of Donald Trump. This was backed by Trump Enterprises own admission it had become largely reliant on Russian investors, and inarguable evidence that Trump and cronies were neck deep in networks of Russian operatives who invariably answer to Vladimir Putin. None of this claimed campaign collusion. Much of it was technically legal. But it is the kind of highly compromised relationship with our historic global rival that U.S. intelligence has always been duty bound to report. And this was unprecedented for a Presidential candidate. The real world dangers have gone beyond the original intelligence warnings. When Donald Trump stood next to Vladimir Putin and said he trusted Putin over all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies, that should have been the game changer. Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, that's a red flag that shouldn't go unchallenged. Yet here we are.

It's perhaps overly simplistic but true: Republicans use the levers and taxes of government to help the already wealthy, Democrats try to shore up the underclasses. Both rely on deficits, although one pretends not to and actually spends more. Both sides are far from perfect, but If you can get over the culture wars s#!t, the case for Democrats is more pragmatic and I dare say more American.

On the other hand, if you've been investing for years and this is precisely the time you need that investment for retirement and college funds, you get sick about the fact that this was a 100% avoidable; the work of a single idiot elected by people who refuse to wake the f#&% up.

Hey you’re the one that posted this tweet Many of the people who care passionately about due process in the Garcia case seemed not to care about the rule of law when millions crossed into the US illegally. and then commented “Ain’t that the truth” Anyone who doesn’t realize all the illegal crossings we’ve experienced are due to a broken immigration system because our lawmakers, both parties, have failed to address it is ignorant. Yet somehow you (ain’t that the truth guy) and that tweeter seem to think nullifying due process is the other side of that f#&%ed up situation. It doesn’t come anywhere close to meaning the people now complaining about due process and the rule of law were accepting of not fixing immigration and enforcement. Tell me, what have Trump and the Rs done with their newfound power to actually fix immigration? Their solution so far has been limited to trampling people’s rights, flaunting the law, sending people (some lawful US citizens or green card holders) to foreign gulags and exaggerating or lying about those they’ve deported. JFC that isn’t fixing anything, it’s just autocratic dictator bullshít enacted against human rights.

Give me a freaking break. Not enough resources to follow Jesus's teachings? Typical right wing christian ideology. Makes you feel better about yourself when you don't do s#!t to follow the teachings because you could just blame it on this and that. Pathetic. It doesn't take "resources" to say, you know what, maybe separating families and locking kids in cages is not the best way to go about deportations and we should be more humane about everything.

U.S.-born man from Georgia held for ICE under Florida’s new anti-immigration law Any MAGA bootlickers want to step up to the plate and defend this bulls#!t? This is exactly why I’m 100% of burning ICE to the ground and starting over. No accountability for blatant profiling and trampling civil liberties like this. All the conservatives who crowed and moralized about Laken Riley - whose parents f#&%ing despised you for turning their daughter into a political football to score points, by the way - where is your humanity now? Have you no soul? Or does the prerequisite for that have something to do with the color of skin or language spoken by the person affected? The reason to call out horses#!t like this is never ONLY to protect the individual victim, which of course, we should do anyway. It’s because if they’re comfortable pulling this s#!t on this young man today, it may well be you tomorrow.

Didn't the supreme court vote unanimously to have the US government take every possible action to bring him back as soon as possible? 9-0? Wtf are you arguing at this point. You say hey if it's wrong it will go to the courts. Well it went to the highest court and was shown to be wrong and you still are arguing they were right? Insane work. Stay consistent man.

This is great news if true. It does absolutely nothing to disprove the concerns of climate change, and would appear to support the need for additional study. Which isn't likely to happen if the words "climate change" are attached. Should I do a quick vetting of Owen Gregorian to see if he's also a Stolen Election promoter and J6 Apologist? (I did. He is.)

Yeah, well, nice try but these things are not nearly the same. In one case the inflation was caused by a worldwide pandemic. Hardly Biden’s or Trump’s fault although they dealt with it differently, one of them much better than the other. But, in the current case, inflation and the falling stock market are directly and solely due to Trump’s actions. I’d be ashamed to even attempt trying to whataboutism or compare the two scenarios. Fail.

Incredibly sad how little NFL talent has come through here lately

This was a huge fail. There was NO ONE there. The local economy is going to be pissed. Matty dropped the ball on this and I can only hope he gets grilled for it.

😳 After seeing this I'm predicting right now the university will more than likely go back to a regular spring game football format next year.

The only fact that matters, which is conveniently being distracted from by "Bill...defender of 91 Jan 6th clients", is that the Trump regime continues to defy the Supreme Court by not facilitating Garcia's return to the US. If you haven't figured that out yet and what the ramifications are for the country then you fully support an authoritarian regime or you're woefully ignorant of how authoritarian regimes come to be. It doesn't matter at all if Garcia is an MS 13 member or not. Has that been established definitively anyway or are we just taking MAGA Bill's word for it?

This really isn't that hard to understand is it? A rogue regime is a threat to all Americans. Yet some how the point keeps flying over supporters of said regime.

I’m beginning to get a better handle on your difficulty with all these concepts. You are unable to sort the bulls#!t from facts. In your world, a source has to always be right or always be wrong. Independent critical thinking never enters into the equation. Jeffrey Sachs, an educated economist, who has forgot more about economics than Trump ever knew just spoke truth and all you can do is complain that some other time you tried to use him to make some point and people pushed back. I have no idea what the other time was but he just explained trade deficits in the simplest of terms and rather than agree with his summation you chose to discredit it because it accurately casts dear leader in a bad light. This is a prime example of partisan selection of what you will and won’t listen to or believe. Nobody is right all the time and most are not wrong all the time. This is why we must engage our brains and perform some critical thinking tasks instead of blindly following the company line. I have confidence you can do it if you try. But much less confidence that you will actually try.

Don't underestimate the information bubble these people are living in. My elderly mother only gets information from Fox News and whatever right-wing Russian disinformation my dad can dredge up, print, and hand to her. The same sources we see on this board. She would 100% believe everything Burchett said in that clip. I try not to bring up politics with either of them because it does no good and both are in their twilight years. But every now and then I can see my mom waivering in her MAGA commitment but by the next day she's fully immersed in the tribalism again. It's infuriating and depressing. I'll always carry with me the fact that my parents helped usher in the demise of democracy and the rise of the authoritarian state.

Lost in the noise of the partisan rancor of this debate is who this man appeared to be as a human being. A husband, a father (reportedly of children with special needs) and a productive member of society without a criminal history to his name, other than what appears to be a bogus claim he’s a gang member propped up by the flimsiest evidence imaginable, just allegations of a confidential informant. He appears to be, by all accounts, the type of immigrant we actually claim to want in this country. I get that the easy layup for conservatives is to say he’s here illegally which is a crime by itself and thus he deserves to be deported. But the dehumanization of him and other immigrants swept up in this mess is disgusting. Just morally abhorrent. There’s a special circle in Hell for people like Leavitt and Homan and others constructing the palace of lies used to justify their treatment of Garcia and other immigrants.

All of those labels apply. The part that everyone should keep in mind is that he knows he's a fraud. He knows going into every transaction, he knows he's going to lie to you and tell you things he KNOWS are not true. And.....to him, every relationship is a transaction. So, if you want to do business with him? Just remember that he's already planning on how he's going to screw you. Same with his politics. What amazes me is that so many people have fallen for it....and still do. Heck, even the people who say stuff like...."OK, I know he's not a nice guy and he's not honest, but I support his policies." No....every single one of his policies are nothing more than to benefit him. He doesn't give a s#!t about you.... and he never has.

All of which makes the Steele Dossier seem quaint in hindsight. By every metric that matters, the Trump collusion with Russia is much worse in real life. Watching the GOP provide cover for the most un-American agenda imaginable is not going to end well for anyone. When will you encourage your Republican representatives and friends to finally take a stand?

Your lies are getting old. https://apnews.com/article/who-is-abrego-garcia-e1b2af6528f915a1f0ec60f9a1c73cdd

Not discussing the tax breaks and more direct government assistance these companies enjoy, while preferring to make an example of welfare recipients doesn't work either. Of course it's worthy of discussion, and the comparisons are pretty much. unavoidable. These large companies with generous executive compensation hide behind their status as Jobs Providers, hoping to make workers and politicians feel worried and threatened should they in any way challenge their methods of making money. When we back off, de-regulate, and just let them pursue their business, these Providers have a tendency to outsource to foreign countries, automate their workforces, and hide those much needed corporate tax dollars in offshore havens while padding their own private nests. How a political party got hardworking Americans to see the billionaire class as victims is among the most dubious achievements in our history.

Here's a real story that just happened in the last couple months. We got a new employee that, from all early opinions, was a pretty good employee. He had fallen on some hard times and really didn't have a pot to piss in. So....he started working here, showed up every day, really appreciated his job, was willing and able to learn. Then, all of a sudden, his house burned down one night. Because he was in such horrible financial shape when he started, he didn't have insurance. It actually caught on fire because he was using a wood burning stove to heat his house because he couldn't pay the utility bill. He and his family were literally homeless. He came in and told us he was quitting. We asked why. He said that he can't get any assistance if he's working and earning money. So, he has to quit so he can get enough assistance to take care of his family. We tried coming up with every way possible to help him so we could keep him as an employee and he could continue trying to rebuild his financial life. But, he couldn't wait because he needed the assistance. There is so much wrong with this. A) This can be looked at as the liberals wanting him to be on assistance so they forced him to be. or, B) This can be looked at as the conservatives are tired of able bodied people being on assistance so cut those bastards off if they are able to work. It sure looks more like B to me. There should be gradual weaning from assistance as people build their lives. And....when tragedy happens, there should be the ability to still get more assistance while not stepping back from the steps you had made to rebuild your life. I'm still just sick about this guy.

Yeah doing great, important work. Today they showed up at two elementary schools in LA to “interview students” because they “had permission from the parents”. School admins say that was bogus. Last week they arrested two 3rd grade siblings and threw them into an adult detention center. Also, all the terrible criminals that had no criminals records sent to El Salvador. Really doing a standup job, maybe for you but not for people with a soul.

Keen eyed analysts might look at that chart and notice a continuation of the deflationary trend under Joe Biden, and that the small spike came with Trump's election before returning to the level Republican voters considered outrageous at the time of the 2024 election. Not to be a noodge about it, they might also point out both the likelihood of a tariff-driven inflationary hike and the GOP suddenly going all mellow about inflation being a minor sacrifice you just have to live with.

He is okay with crime as long as he can benefit from it. But if it was Joe Biden who committed this flagrant of a crime in broad daylight, he would be calling for his head, even if he did benefit.

They keyed on Democrats because they couldn't find any viable rational Republican DNA to work with.

Ty to the Eagles. What a great fit

First JD f#&%s a couch. Then he breaks the national championship trophy. Now he's killed the Pope!

I feel legitimately embarrassed as an American.

then they f#&%ed up again when they decided they don't have to obey court orders. or did they? he is testing how far he can push and so far no guard rail is stopping him. the retribution phase of his presidency is about to get started.

https://bsky.app/profile/bbkogan.bsky.social/post/3lmxasj46zk2c Just more proof that democrats are more fiscally responsible than republicans now. People in the republican party are hanging on to a party of yesteryear.

Regardless - he supported the party that gave us 'THIS'. He can't hide behind Desantis's skirt especially when he is all in on Trump now - except for some rare exceptions to give him some fake creditability of being open minded.

That is what cult members do. Their blind loyalty to the cult leader blinds them from truth and from ever admitting they are wrong. Notice that one of Trump's life codes is to never apologize or admit you are wrong. It is how he was taught and his cult members live by his example.

Thanks for this. This story just makes me hate ICE even more. The government is lying about this case and their little conservative foot soldiers are carrying their water because they’re a bunch of bootlickers.

Schooling in America is in a bad, bad place because of bulls#!t from parents like this. Specifically, with this case, these parents are entitled pussies who probably have deep pockets and wanted an easy payday. f#&% em. But beyond that a lot of parents are leaning WAYYY too far into schooling and trying to dictate to teachers what they’re allowed to teach their kids. That is the opposite of what school is supposed to be about.

Your single sentence on a freaking Husker message board, most likely made in passing, is infinitely more intelligent and thoughtful then any of that ridiculous bulls#!t word salad that came out of the most powerful man in the world's mouth. This is just crazy. This man needs a retirement home and meds! No way this can last 3.75 more years.... Worst part, this isn't just mumbled talk or slurred words. This guys just simply doesn't have a clue about major events effecting the world.

I'd love for someone who supports the Trump immigration agenda to actually come out and crow a little bit about how great they think things are going right now. Let's look at the facts. The administration makes lots of evidence-free claims about great things are going now that they're in charge. They're utilizing quotas for arrests, which incentivizes sweeping up people without criminal records. (My editorial stance is law enforcement quotas are bulls#!t whether we're talking immigration arrests or simple ticketing for driving violations). Here are some excerpts from the story on the tactics being used by the administration currently: I know that's a lengthy read. Bolded is my emphasis. So come on, deportation advocates. Explain to me why I'm wrong to be horrified by all of this. A vague notion ICE is good and just by ridding of us of dangerous illegal invaders is not a strong argument and will not score you any points. It's very well detailed above that's not what's happening.To a skeptic, it looks an awful lot like they're shredding civil rights, ignoring court orders, pissing on the Constitution (warrantless searches, trying to deport citizens, etc.) and relying on rank dishonesty by lying to our faces about it. So go ahead and explain to us why I'm wrong and we should be supporting this. I'll wait.

If you did very well under first Trump admin, you had to have done even better under the Biden admin….but here we are stuck with Trump2 based off of contrived grievances, lies and idiocy. Just goes to show, some people don’t realize how good they actually had it until they get indoctrinated into a cult and vote for a lying grifting criminal idiot.

Yes he added the most and that’s not a good thing. However, Did you want us to lock down during Covid or not? We know that added $3.6 trillion of debt. $2.5 trillion was considered debt from tax cut law of which we know treasuries increased but much more than that in part because of tax cuts juicing an economic increase. They are largely paid for by now. And then $2.3 trillion in general spending increases as I said before is not good. So if you didn’t want to lock down at all during Covid, and didn’t want more of your own money back, you would certainly have a point about him increasing the debt more than anyone else in 4 years. Otherwise he was roughly in line with others as a percentage, which for the third time, isn’t good. Though people kept telling me debt doesn’t matter 😂
