  3. Yes, Trump notably even went as far as to use the Defense Production Act to ensure that we used our resources to produce vaccines as quickly as possible. You also have to laud the guidance provided to states to assist in the rollout and logistics involved. And how could we forget the massive PSA campaign he underwent to convince everyone that the vaccine is necessary to achieve herd immunity? One thing we can be sure of though, is that Operation Warp Speed produced the modern miracle of a vaccine. It is simply a coincidence that multiple companies driven by capitalism, in multiple countries, simultaneously broke through with their own versions of this miracle. Truly, I can't fathom how much worse off we would be without Trump. Biden is clearly just riding that train of leadership. We all know how closely the two administrations worked together in transition and the results show it.

  4. The thing that pisses me off about the reaction to mass shootings is it's the same each time and it's stupid each time, and most of that stupidity is coming from the GOP. 1. It's a mental health issue. But let's not spend more $ on mental health issues, and lets call people snowflakes, betas, and cucks when they act like pu**ies. People need to grow a pair and toughen up. 2. How dare the Democrats politicize this. Now is not the time to talk about it. But let's not talk about it a month from now either because people have forgotten about it and we're off the hook. I see no end in sight for this bulls#!t.

  8. This is the dumbest f#&%ing thing. I cant stand Buttigieg, hes such a fake little s#!t. And the reason we cant cut the defense budget is because both parties dont know how to read a damn poll and they are bought and paid for by lobbyists.

  9. I wish we could get somewhere on this, but if a guy lights up a kindergarten and kills a bunch of little kids - and we literally do nothing to prevent it from happening again - we're never gonna get anywhere. It's been proven that a segment of this country doesn't give a f#&% unless it directly effects their lives. As long as their kid wasn't shot - they don't want to change s#!t.

  10. Nothing like limiting the mobility of the workforce... Depending on the tax rate, this would suck in rural areas like Nebraska. With the small commuter towns across the state and the need for people in Omaha metro area to travel all around town (public transportation sucks in Omaha) for work will get punished for it. Maybe if you can claim "work miles" as a deduction. Filling out mileage logs every week sounds like a great time

  11. I never really understand the, “we don’t know what we have, so we must not have anything” comments I see so often. We won 4 games last year. It’s not like Wandale was so good we won 9. I’m confident someone will eventually step up at both WR and RB.

  12. I would think a handgun would be far more useful in a home invasion scenario. That rifle in a hallway is constricting in a way a handgun isn't.

  13. You hit on several great points. I'm not opposed to additional regulations around improved background checks, looking at ways in which to properly carry out red flag laws etc. I'm simply unwilling to hand in my firearms until our elected officials security hands them in. I'm also against several of these ideas around requiring insurance and annual license fees etc as that simply allows the rich to be armed and the poor to be disarmed. I'd love to actually address a multitude of issues that exist prior to taking away law abiding citizens guns. We haven't even come close to exhausting those options.

  14. I wouldn't use powerful as the way in which to describe the AR15. The .223/5.56 round that it uses is nothing special. It is lightweight, easy to maneuver with, low recoil, easy and quick to reload. It is precisely why I have one in my home because my wife can easily use it if it is needed. At night it would be what I would grab first.

  15. Was anything I said inaccurate? The CDC and FDA under the Trump administration worked to fast track these vaccines. Biden is reaping the benefits of that just as much if not more than Trump did. We were on our way to the 100 million doses in the first 100 days before inaguration day. It's just the truth.

We leave behind the era of tough-on-crime prosecution and zero tolerance policing and no longer default to the status quo to criminalize mostly people of color for addiction, said Mosby in an official press release." -"The program has led to decreases in the overall incarcerated Baltimore population by 18%, while violent and property crimes are down 20% and 36% respectively, according to the press release." https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/27/us/baltimore-prosecute-prostitution-drug-possession/index.html

  17. People need to employ Occam's razor more often. Georgia goes Democrat for the first time in ages. Their state level Republican leaders make a bunch of changes to voting laws, including giving more power to themselves to pick members of the election board. What the f#&% do you think the purpose is? If you think it's because of voter fraud, I question your # of brain folds. Republicans need to stop being scared of the perpetual supposed impending socialist takeover of this country and look at what's happening right in front of their eyes.

  19. Yep and People who are not Biden supporters in general should be willing and able to give Biden administration credit for building on that initial success and getting us to where we are. Herd immunity through vaccine was projected back in December by Azar to be reached sometime between Easter and beginning of summer. Looks like we might be able to hit that mark.

  22. I think that's a good assessment of where we are at. And what needs to happen on the O side to be better than the past 3 years. To the bolded, a lot have mentioned playing with the guys we have, not what we want. I'm really hoping we run a lot of 12/13 personnel to not just have more blocking and "weight up front", but to also try and create some mismatches, drop one back as an HB, use more in short yardage/goal line etc...This could be the best group of TE's we have had in years. Hoping we use them. Lean on them until the rest of the O catches up. Bring out something special for OU.

  23. It is a multi use multi purpose rifle. Hunting, self defense etc. It checks all the boxes. Again we are talking about on average 15 mass shooting deaths annually with this weapon. If we want to discuss other ways the AR15 kills via suicide etc then we need to address that the vast majority of gun fatalities are handguns.

  25. We rushed for approx 1660 yards in 2020. Take away the QB runs and we are at 775. Take away Wan'dale and we were down to 535 yards by RB's....That's not a "run heavy" O. That's the kind of O capable of winning 4-5 games a year. Sadly, with no RB returning with more than 24 touches (Scott 24 for 62 yards for 2.6 a carry) I do not expect much better. And it's an O that has gotten worse each year. We lost JD, but had Wan'dale. We just lost Wan'dale. What do we have now? AM-521 Mills-396 Luke- 364 Wan'dale-240 I'm hoping we get old quick on O. D gonna have to do their thing.

  34. This exchange right here is exactly why the two sides will never be able to agree. One side wants to take your guns (certain guns at the very least) and the other side is not willing to give them up. If people on both sides could/would moderate a bit, we might be able to make some progress on the issue. I understand both sides very well. I would like to see lots of common sense things done to curtail these senseless tragedies. But..... I have a 12 gauge shotgun, a 9MM handgun and an AR-15. Honestly I would be just fine giving up my AR (I've only had since the rioting and the beginning of the pandemic).....if this country and world wasn't so effed up, but it is and I'm not. Realistically I can defend myself, home and family with just the handgun and shotgun. But if things got way out of hand and it truly became a kill or be killed situation, the AR would be the go to choice. I really think that is what this issue boils down to. I use the shotgun for hunting birds and waterfowl and occasionally shooting clay pigeons and a self defense option. The handgun is strictly for home and self defense. The AR is very fun to shoot but it's main purpose is kind of an ultimate feeling of being able to match fire power in a worst case scenario. So, like I said, it's kind of a stretch to willingly give that up when it is a known fact that even if that style gun is outlawed, there will always be some people (criminals, law enforcement and the government-military) that will still have them. I'm not a gun nut, an NRA member or supporter and am not opposed to fairly extreme efforts to keep guns out of the wrong hands. But no, I'm not very receptive to anyone taking MY gun(s). I don't really have a problem with them being taken from others. Just being honest in an attempt to maybe help others understand another side of the issue.

  35. Unfortunately, to an extent they do because they foster this gun fetish in our society. Im a gun owner. There is a difference between being a gun owner and being obsessed with them. Unfortunately I know a lot in the last group.

  36. Of course they do. They foster an environment where guns are easily and readily available to people who commit mass shootings. "None" is not a reasonable answer in this situation. That gun advocates aren't willing to budge at all means we will continue to have mass shootings. Direct cause & effect.

  37. Lol...pot meet kettle. You've never answered why the Republicans would go through all these contortions based on the red herring of voter fraud if the intent wasn't to make voting more difficult for those that they see as more likely to vote against their agenda. You've never answered why it is now illegal in Georgia to give water to someone who is waiting in line to vote. How is making giving someone water addressing "voter fraud"? Seems like stepping on "muh freedoms". Why haven't you answered these questions? Because you know, and everyone here knows, the intent of these laws are to make voting more difficult, especially for targeted communities. Maybe you don't understand it sitting in Kansas but it's a fact. It's pretty clear you support these Jim Crow laws. Well done.

  38. I don't believe Frost will be removed based on this season. Moos & Ted Carter & Ronnie Green are smart enough to look at a schedule featuring Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Minnesota & Iowa and realize you don't judge a coach's future based on that.

  42. Not aimed at you, but apparently his post got moved. Before anyone jumps to conclusions about the terrible side affects from the vaccine, look at the poster’s old board name. Might ring a bell for you old timers. of course, this has nothing to do with Spring Practice, but don’t want anyone to be fearful of getting the vaccine.

  44. Do you have anything to back up the bolded? Maybe, a better question would by why are we heading into year four so young? We are young and inexperienced. Why, as we enter year four? Are we still going to be using this excuse as we head into year six or seven?
