First Statement: Moos' Statement: Updated Statement: I really don't see how any of this contradicts itself.

He is dead to StPaulHusker....

Trump is stating his intent to declare an "emergency" so he can force American taxpayers to pay for his racist money pit. Remember, if you're in favor of this stunt by Trump, you're saying you'd have been OK with any other president bypassing congress to get their pet project done. For example, if Obama had just declared a national emergency and funded Obamacare rather than vet it through months of congressional discussion. The powers you allow those in office today will be used by people you oppose tomorrow.

Dr. Richard Kimble would beg to differ:

It's gross that you're attempting to oversimplify this and ignore relevant details. a) He likely didn't know it was a video of an alleged sex assault. No one else viewing it, including the police and the school, seems to have come to the conclusion it was a video of sex assault. b) Even the law differentiates between the punishments for child porn depending on how old you are in many states (including Nebraska, btw). I'm sorry if this rationalization is gross to you, but an 18 year old having a video of his ex girlfriend when she was 15 that he received when he was 16 is not the same as a 60 year old having child porn videos of 8 year olds. But you're lumping them together by saying it's gross to add nuance to the discussion and that "child porn sex assault" should be the end of it.

Ok but saying child porn makes this sound way worse than it actually is would you not agree? While it is child porn in the legal sense there is a difference between this and what you would typically think of when you hear 'child porn'. As I've consistently stated, what Washington did was wrong make no mistake. But it all comes down to fitting the punishment for the crime.

I can't wait until 2028 when President Ocasio-Cortez declares a national emergency and enacts the Green New Deal and all the conservatives are like, "Yep, that's what the president can do." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just saw that. What an ultramaroon.

So much this. Everyone wants to try to pick sides that he did or did not assault her. Maurice did or did not know that it was assault. The University and AD did or did not lie. Blah, blah, blah. Just let it be until all the facts come out and then MAYBE you will have enough information to make an informed decision what "side" to be on. The semantics and people trying to read into things in this whole situation are ridiculous.

It's troubling because if they don't suppress it, it sets a legal precedent that future Presidents can then use. When Donald and his ilk are ejected from office, that is going to bite them in the a$$. But the misuse of those powers is setting up the office of President for being a jumping off point for totalitarianism as well, regardless of party affiliation. I guess the question is, what does the modern day GOP care for more--the future of Democracy and this country, or sucking at the financial teat of Putin and Russian oligarchs at the expense of our country's sovereignty and future?

He's not looking "for a shot." He doesn't need game film. NFL teams know what he can do.

FIFY

An actual national emergency

I don;t think any one has said he's facing the death penalty but I am somewhat appalled at some of the posters not taking this offense serious enough. Its been made clear he was not involved in the actual event but his decision to send that video (if what is being reported is accurate) is an incredible example of poor judgement by someone and I don't believe this can be just chalked up to age and a young person making a mistake. I'll also be very interested to see how the coaching staff handles this on top of any legal punishment. I'll be upfront in admitting I have no idea if Frost ran into any of these types of situations at UCF and how he responded but he has consistently preached the importance of leaders both on the field and off and molding young adults into people of character. From a distance, this situation reeks of someone with minimal regard to others and toes the line that some rules don't apply to all. Perhaps I am being too harsh and jumping to conclusions before all facts are known but on the surface I find this whole situation appalling and the act itself to be very disturbing.

Can you imagine the kicking and screaming temper tantrum people on the right would be throwing if obama would have stolen money from the military for a bulls#!t project that wouldn't solve a problem

To add to this. Usually on outdoor track lane 7 is a disadvantage but I have run my fastest times in lane 7 indoor because with the staggered start you only have 1/2 the curve first then later get another curve that isn't as sharp. I think Rahmir is going to be a sleeper on this team with his speed and quick acceleration.

This kind of extremist opinion has no place in politics.

check in with the dead guy and his family.

I will not be mad. I said a few pages back that I walked back my initial feelings that he should be off the team. I do feel he deserves a few games suspension for sending the video to the girl with the intent to harm her.

Holy s#!t ^^^

What a shameful (shame on the American voter - Trump knows no shame and seems incapable of it) day and act. What an idiot we have in the WH.

Remember when Riley and Eichorst were in charge, and you were careful not to engage in speculation and finger-pointing when a problem arose? Because I don't.

So is Rubio just going to issue this statement and then shrink away like he normally does, or is he going to finally grow a set of balls in the Senate and lead the way out of this mess?

That's what I read this morning as well. That's why I said I want to see how things play out on the right. Do they have the courage to finally put an end to this mass overreach?

I completely agree. I don't want Democrats to wield this type of power anymore than I want Republicans.

Thanks. The first thing I saw is how that looks like what Nathan Lane would appear as a statesman. Second thing I saw is that I hope he looks as good as Nathan Lane in drag when his a$$ is sent to PMITA Federal Prison in the near future.

It is my understanding that Congress can undo a state of emergency with a veto proof resolution. Let’s see how this plays out on the right.

They know what would happen if they lied during that first statement and that all the info would soon be present. What purpose would they have to even think about lying? At this point people are just reading too much into it to be drawing conclusions like this

Still really not seeing it. I’ve read the reports and timelines. what Moos said still seems valid and not contradicting IMO.

Come on, back to the lazy poetry! Roses are red Revenge porn laws are stringent I thought that this thread Would be more about Vincent

We would lose a massive amount of Big Ten money.

And all of them can be immediately eligible if they try hard enough.

Eichorst spoke? .......oh, that's right.....he did let us know he had evaluated Iowa.

I honestly never thought I would agree with Coulter on something. What a time to be alive.

What a shameful (shame on the American voter - Trump knows no shame and seems incapable of it) day and act. What an idiot we have in the WH

Aside from all of the other stupid $h!t Trump has said and done, I hope that this is what finally leads to a reckoning of some sort with Congress and the Courts. The Constitution quite explicitly sets up the separation of powers and checks & balances so a President, or anyone else, can't simply do whatever the hell they want. Up until now, many on the right have simply ignored their moral, ethical, and professional obligations to stand up to this a$$. Now, they will have a Constitutional obligation to get in the way.

+1 for working in a Birdcage reference and Office Space reference in the same post!

Fair enough. But he still carries that baggage with him nonetheless, baggage that could outweigh other qualifications.

Not defending either Washington nor Leavitt, but there is also a difference between the professional expectations of a 50+ year old man vs the emotions and sensibilities of a high school kid.

So, he's angry at the constitution for being constitutional?

Dude, WTF are you on about? Just stop with this mantra that people only care about winning. It's getting really old.

Thats moving! My son runs for a NAIA school. Their track team is always ranked in the top 10. I see a lot of Juco up to DII schools at his meets. The winning time in the 200m is usually around 22.25 and a second behind someone is far behind!
