  2. I 100% agree, but I also find comments like Graham's irritating (from the article): It feels like just another half-assed attempt to kick the can down the road and avoid acknowledging reality for as long as possible. Everybody should ask themselves a few simple questions: had Trump handled the post-election process with humility, professionalism, and facts, had Trump not passionately rallied his supporter base to believe in a falsely stolen election, and had he not held a rally where he encouraged angry supporters to march on the Capitol during the electoral confirmation process, does the riot happen? The answer should be an unequivocal 'no.' I realize a commission will be looking at a lot of other things (including safety procedures and the like) but this wouldn't have happened if Trump hadn't behaved the way he behaved. Most Republicans know this. Many appear too afraid or cautious to acknowledge it.

  3. According to 247, he is the #1 JUCO prospect in the country for the 2022 class. Of course, he also appears to be the only JUCO prospect they've rated for that class, but let's not get caught up in the details.

  4. Pretty clear none of you have watched The Saint with Val Kilmer and Elizebeth Shue. The answer to all of this is cold fusion...or maybe it is dressing up in really bad disguises while fooling all of Russia.

  5. Checks thread...yep, I'm in the right thread. Anyone supporting Trump and his actions over the past four years is supporting a demagogue and wannabe tyrant over democracy and free and fair elections. That's not hyperbole, that's fact. Further more the Republican Party has shown zero indication that it wants to reform itself. In fact, it is doubling down on Trumpism and Marjorie Taylor Greenism as shown by the support of one who would destroy our democracy by overturning an undisputed election in a violent fashion. Call it what you will but that is distain for democracy in favor of raw power. Simply because the rank and file can't see this doesn't give them a pass. Ignorance is no defense. Now if you want to discuss the Democrats assault on democracy, it probably should be done in another thread.

  7. Interesting stats. I really wish we could have played them this year. We started off the year against OSU and held them to 215 yards rushing. In that game, both our line's looked better than they did last year. I was really looking forward to see what we could do against Wisky.

  14. FWIW, I agree on your comments about renewable energies. But, IIRC, spent fuel rods drop to one-thousandth of their radioactivity within a few decades of beings spent, so the risks decrease significantly. And there's a strong consensus right now in the international scientific community about the safety and of long term prospects of radioactive waste storage in geological repositories. Ultimately, I think a lot of the nuclear waste storage worries are overblown, but I'm not married to nuclear as the future and would prefer we look toward renewables.

  16. Yes, I noted that there are challenges both technologically and politically. I strongly disagree. We literally have no materials that can guarantee containment for thousands of years. And we cannot say that our current practices will be good for even a single century let alone millennia. Renewables are already much less expensive than nuclear and can be built much, much faster. Energy storage is the difficult part but costs have decreased exponentially for lithium ion batteries and there are other promising technologies such as liquid air energy storage, liquid metal batteries, and gravity energy storage are in the process of being scaled up. And as @Dr. Strangelove already mentioned, building a nuclear plant takes a really long time (6-10 years typically), so it's not even a short-term solution. Note that I'm not advocating that we decommission nuclear plants (unless deemed unsafe), but rather that we not build more nuclear plants and instead put those resources into renewables and storage. At some point in the future when we've got sustainable energy and storage at massive scale and fossil fuel plants are being eliminated, we can start decomming nuclear plants.

  17. Disagree; this puts things in dangerous territory of just glossing over what he did and what he's responsible for. At the very least, use the 14th Amendment and bar him from receiving daily intelligence reports.

  20. Ahem; they rushed the Impeachment trial without time for investigation and reflection. Their mistake was not waiting until tempers had cooled off. That way they could have had a real discussion on Do we really want the American public saying that political diatribes are criminal?

  25. It's better than coal for greenhouse gases, but how many acres of farmland could be rendered unusable by that amount of contamination? And after 70 years of nuclear energy, we still have no long-term plan to deal with the radioactive waste because it's such a difficult problem. Nuclear fission is just kick the can down the road IMO, and we have better options.

  27. PR, Guam, American Samoa, and any other territories we have should become states if their local government wishes. Territories are the last remnants of colonization and imperialism, there's no reason we still need to cling to those eras. The people there should have equal rights and protections as any US citizen or state. I don't understand the DC as a state debate. It shouldn't be it's own state it should just be absorbed into Maryland or left as is.

  28. Just because you keep saying it isn't constitutional, doesn't make you any more right. For argument's sake, let's say you're right. Congratulations. You have just set the precedent that makes it virtually impossible to remove or punish a President for doing anything he wants. I'm pretty sure that's not what the founding fathers wanted. I'm pretty sure they didn't want the President to be able to do whatever he wants, including mounting a terrorist attack against our government to have congress say.....oh well....there's nothing we can do. But, that's where we're at.....thanks Republicans.

  30. There's no reason why PR shouldn't be a state. But, they have to vote for it. They have been very close to getting enough votes recently. Once they do, we should welcome them. DC should be absorbed by another state. I am totally against splitting states like California or Illinois up based on rural vs urban.

  31. In short, Nebraska isn't wasting there time trying to land this kid. Visited Missouri, Auburn and Georgia Tech the last few days. I'd only be frustrated if we were not in on some damn good TE's across the country. Since we are in the final groups for a handful of really good TE's, Riley going to college in some other state isn't going to matter in the end.

  33. Politics is the only reason 57 Senators voted for a false crime without jurisdiction. Because no one is answering my question; the reasons that the Biden DOJ will not arrest private citizen Trump for inciting a riot are: they would be thrown out of court, and sued for violating Trump's civil rights. Even the law professors who ran cover for the Impeachment know it. Political malfeasance is tried in the court of public opinion. If you don't like what Trump did in 2016-2020 you oppose his 2024 campaign. Using the legal system to prosecute political differences will make the USA into a 3rd World banana republic.

  34. I don't think that takes much stretch of the imagination. Even if the trump impeachments had not happened, Democrats wouldn't convict Biden if he was caught doing something to violate his oath.

  35. Joe won't do it.....but the republican party has just given Biden the green light to use violence to overturn any possible election losses. just make sure he throws in some disclaimers during the incitement speech and he is golden.

  38. I here exactly at this moment he may be reopening up his recruitment! It seems some school closer to home opened up and he might consider committing there. /sarcasm Doubt this kid ends up at Wazzu all four years. Probably transfers close to home a la California or a smaller school in a few years. Best of luck to him because his spot gives us one more opening for a player that wants to be here.
