Here are some photos I took in Kiev a few years ago

Good lord. You don't think Zelensky doesn't want his people to know he's staying and fighting? He posted as such on Facebook. It's also prudent to let his people know the international community knows the danger he's in and that he had the option to leave but didn't not so that the message of this courageous act rallies his people. If he flees then what? If he goes dark then what? They have a leader sacrificing and fighting right alongside of them. It's also prudent of the US to let the world know of his courage. How is this a left wing media conspiracy?

Wasn't there a time when a president held up nearly $400,000,000 in military aid to blackmail Zelensky into playing ball for that president's personal gain? I recall hearing the tapes of that conversation.

Trump admires Putin because Putin has the power and will to do evil things and grow his "empire", Trump desires that.

Exactly, as one of my best buddies commented about Trump supporters, "I see a Trump bumper sticker on your car, that tells me all I need to know about you"

Oh let me guess, the one that has been debunked and investigated by Senate Republicans who found no wrong doing? The one where Biden in his official role was requiring the removal of a Ukraine prosecutor because that prosecutor would not investigate corruption inside Ukraine? That one?

My take is... ostentatiously flying or wearing American flags, or displays that show you support the police, typically show that someone thinks this isn't the default for 99% of Americans. It shows that they have stupidly been duped into believing that a lot of Americans hate America and hate the police, and therefore they have to show that they are one of the good guys. Much less serious comparison but similarly... I don't wear my Nebraska shirts in Nebraska very often. I wear them a lot more often when I'm traveling outside the state. I don't feel like I really need to show how much I like Nebraska while I'm in Nebraska.

Comparison? They are the EXACT same people. Trump is Putin. Putin is Trump. Extremely concerning and scary when you realize the number of people in this country who hold Trump in such high esteem. If we don’t end up in a violent civil war (our own) it will be an absolute miracle.

Amazing people can't see the similarities in personality type. Policy comes in a far distant second when we're talking about paranoid, malignant narcissists in charge that only want to surround themselves with yes men. Every brutal dictator has had the same psychosis. It never ends well. All I can come up with is some people can't see it because "birds of a feather"

No optimism allowed here, folks. Negative opinions only. Nevermind that last year's team was a statistical anomaly in every way mostly due to horrendous special teams that sabotaged the team. If you express positivity, you will be chastised. LOL I just don't understand why you'd even bother watching if this is how you feel. For example, I've lost all hope with the basketball team until proven otherwise, so I tune in to games for a short time, see that they're sucking it up, and then go do something else

Does anybody remember when Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort was working for Pro-Russian groups in Ukraine? Then he was investigated by that whole Russia-gate-sham-hoax thing and was found to have committed crimes during that work? Then he pleaded guilty? Then the dear leader of the Republican Party Donald Trump gave him a pardon? This was after he agreed to cooperate with the FBI to have other charges dropped but backed out once dear leader Trump decided to give him said Pardon? That was hilarious! Then, the absolute best part, is that millions of Republicans saw this, shrugged, and voted for this all again lmao. I guess it's better than one of those godless Democrats.

We can argue whether Trump was in on the plan or was merely a useful idiot, but I'm convinced now, that this is what that was all about.

The team TFG was playing for did win and it was easy. Putin knew he was going to start a war. He needed to reinforce and insulate his economy in order to survive sanctions. China and Russia are clearly in cahoots on this. China decided it wants to economically support Russia. But how? Purchase Russian grain. Even better doing so hurts the US. But just switching would be strange and raise significant concerns. So TFG's handlers get him to knowing or unknowing go along with this ploy by starting a trade war with China. Giving them the perfect cover to use their economic power to support Russia over the US.

It's not how journalism is taught. They don't teach this in any journalism school. You're seeing corporate greed producing rage porn for unwitting masses. Rupert Murdoch has perfected his craft.

But then when totally real non-imaginary kids feel bad about being white in school, it's the teacher's fault!

I think we're ok there. Rogers and Robinson as starters, Hutmacher in the rotation, as well as guys like Feist. I think we're better off there than people want to say.

If you recall that, I got a doozy of a video that shows our current President holding up money for a quid pro quo.

This question has been asked in this thread a number of times and we've got the same answer.... "hamana hamana hamana"

Have I just seen a ghost????

Current POTUS got his bribes, embattled UKR President got his money. Russian dictator got the idea these clowns could not make real opposition. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/319c830b-2abd-4eed-85d9-61b06cd83dbb#Wr341YiC.copy It's a flag. They that wove it faced a much more negative point of view.

Hold my beer. - Tucker Carlson

That's why I will side with the coaches decision.

Again, denounce this kind of thing happening in the party you support. Silence is tacit approval.

Nick Fuentes at the America First PAC that Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at last night drumming up a round of applause for Russia and Putin. Who is cheering on Putin? America First for one Remember Trump loves MTG

I believe Trump did this, presumably for dirt on Biden. In the end this effort was exposed and the money went through…..if I remember correctly.

In reading this, I couldn't help to think of the comparisons between Putin and Trump and esp if Trump were to get a second term in office (God forbid that from ever happening) The article is quoted in part below. See quotes in bold below as prime examples https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/the-world-may-be-witnessing-the-complete-unraveling-of-vladimir-putin/ar-AAUkTk4?ocid=entnewsntp

If Putins goal was for the rest of the world to respect the f#&% out of the Ukrainians and to hate Russia - he is doing a bang up job.

Basketball and football were not equally impacted by Covid. Fred and Scott have both performed poorly. Fred has performed worse. If you can't see that, you aren't looking at it objectively.

More fodder for Putin's propaganda campaign. Read the f#&%ing room already. Is his solution here to "blow Russia to pieces"? Can you imagine his take if after Putin commits more troops and hardware to his invasion, we use our air power to completely degrade Putin's dilapidated military?

Terrible development for guys they had to scout & bring to the program. Lucked out on Jurgens. The worst tackle play in the big ten this year killed the OL. And trying to start Ethan Piper. It was however a drastic nosedive.

This woman, Goser and MTG speak at this event. Nothing from republican leadership. Meanwhile, censure Republicans that dare want to investigate January 6th. Speaks volumes as to where their loyalties lie.

Let’s hope so. I would clean house on the prime time line up to start. Can’t go any lower than they already are, may as well take the chance. Looking forward to it, but I am skeptical it will happen. We need to go back to the basics in how journalism is taught in schools.

pitching and hitting have been a struggle, thus far, but i like the defense. will keep us in games this year.

There was a great story on he and his brother and their politics when he went back over initally - 60 mins or something. I'll have to go looking for it - it was excellent.

Good.

I get the technical definition. f#&% the semantics. Putin is at war with humanity. Putin is at war with democracy and peace. He's killing innocent people unprovoked. These traitors singing Putin's praises that Russian State media uses as propaganda are giving aid and comfort. What will you call it when he crosses the line and attacks a NATO country? He's already attacked the US though cyber warfare, interfering in our elections and a massive disinformation campaign. So yeah, they're providing aid and comfort. Full stop.

But then you ruin that goodwill by having a big old bag of pot sitting on your front seat! The NSP hates that.

This situation was a no win one for Alberts. If you fire him, you owe 18 million big ones. The sad fact is, fire Hoiberg and pay him, you still would have had to pay the next guy at least 4 million and sign a huge contract. Business decision had to be made. This was the only option for us. Basketball is not that hard to find a few players that can win 15 games a season. You may not find enough to win 25 games, but you should be able to find players to win 15-20 games per season. I have always in some ways compared us to K-State in basketball. They can almost always win on average 15-20 games a season. Bruce Weber is not a great recruiter, but they seem to find just enough pieces to scare teams when entering Bramlage. Thats all I want to see from Hoiberg and his crew. Win the non-con, beat teams at home, and compete on the road. That should net 15-18 wins per season. On ocassion win 20-23 games and get a tourney bid. Should be an every 3 to 4 year deal. Find some players and develop them for 3 years and have a tourney squad. Thats it!

I wear my Nebraska gear whenever I travel to Nebraska from Colorado. Figure it can’t hurt if I get pulled over for doing 85mph on I-80 with CO plates

Well thank you @Archy1221.

If you don’t care then why would you wonder? Anywho, since you wondered, I hope you feel comfortable flying it proudly.

I'd gladly take Walker back if we actually utilize him correctly. I'm hopeful we get an actual PG in the portal. Not a guy we think can play point.

That will be interesting. However, some of their costs won’t go down like labor. You don’t raise someone from $15 to $20 only to drop them back to $15 when things get more normal.

I thought the basketball team played hard tonight against a solid Iowa team. At least the game was entertaining. If we saw that effort every week, we would have a few more wins and the narrative would be a little different. Andre has potential. Hope he stays.

1. Omicron surge has been on the downward slope for a couple weeks. So not surprising. 2. News media is focusing on an even more sensational story. 3. Omicron 2.0 has been identified as a strain to watch or whatever their terminology is.

Uhhh this is huge for Ukraine morale. They’re trying to win a war. US first priority was to get him out, he wants to stay with his country, hopefully the US gets this man his ammo. Not everything comes down to US politics.
