The second to last paragraph is entirely a Liz Cheney quote. Do you really intend to imply that the only Republican that had the balls to stand up to Trump and the MAGAts insurrection represents the R party that banished her for doing so? Maybe the stupidest and most wrong idea ever proposed in this forum.

Too busy to backup a crazy take that nobody has been able to make a sensible case for to date? Probably. But not too busy to engage in dishonest discussion and make insanely unfounded claims?

Anyone else remember people saying 5 years ago that if Frost can't turn it around we are done for good and will never recover?

So you do insist on being thick. Let's walk through this like adults, using the numbers that are so important to you: Elected Republicans (and that's an important distinction) were a solid 82% horrified with the January 6 rioting in the Capitol, including the reluctance of the President you voted for 100% of the time to step in and disavow their extremist actions. By January 7, a solid 63% of name-brand Republicans were willing to step up and criticize the outgoing President, repudiate the rioters, and declare the election valid. They were building the GOP off-ramp to Trump that 91% of elected Republicans considered prudent and perhaps overdue, even if they supported Trump. In the ensuing days, the voters let their opinions known to the home offices of the elected Republicans. While they represented perhaps 38% of the electorate, they were the loudest and scariest and made it clear that any betrayal of Trump would be rectified in the mid-terms. Meanwhile, the GOP pollsters and metrics specialists were confirming that 62% of ALL Republicans believed the 2020 election had been stolen on behalf of Joe BIden, and just for fun, 25% believed in at least one central tenant of QAnon. "Stop the Steal!" was a surprisingly robust fundraiser. Mirroring the 100% of HuskerBoard posters who said they found the Jan 6 rioting unacceptable, the Democrats launched an investigation into the events that led up to it, including Donald Trump's unambiguous attempts to subvert democracy prior to the riot he supported 110%. By now there's only a grand total of 2 Republicans willing to join that committee and take the public stance that one would expect at least half of Republicans to tacitly support, going by your numbers. Instead they were 98% vilified by Republicans, including you, and thrown out of office. You wrote 67 posts trying to rationalize this, but they were 100% bulls#!t. The writing is on the wall. GOP voters are more than willing to look the other way, and had indeed made solidarity with Trump the midterm litmus test. At which point the RNC completes its about face by declaring that the people being targeted by the investigation --- and yes, Sherlock, that means the gleeful rioters INSIDE the Capitol -- were merely exercising "legitimate political discourse." This is the very definition of being "fine with it" even if you technically wish it hadn't happened and would absolutely s#!t bricks if leftists stormed anything. That brings our final numbers to: Truth: 1 Archy: 0

No. If Rhule fails, we will go spend a ton of money on the next staff and eventually, one will start winning again.

Pretty sure that is Wilson, from Cast Away.

Really, all the evidence you need to prove your point is that it's very clear to anyone whose paying attention that Trump loved the insurrection, supports it, was upset that ti didn't succeed and is upset that people are getting indicted and thrown in prison for doing it. 65% of Republicans say loyalty to Trump is important. LINK Meanwhile, we have elected Republicans in congress actively trying to convince America that people who were indicted for the insurrection are being persecuted and the evil gubment is destroying 'merica by doing so. Those Republicans in congress continue to get reelected.

Lol....now investigated = persecuted?

Well, if by "Republican", we are talking about the Republican members of the House, I would have to say the vast majority of them were fine with the storming of the capital. I'm pretty sure just about every single one of them didn't support the J6 committee except Kinsinger and Cheney. And, when they did support investigating the insurrection, they were banished from the party. There are members of the house that firmly believe, and say regularly, that it's wrong to be arresting and punishing the people who stormed the capital. In fact, they think the real traitors are the ones who investigated them, arrested them and pushed for punishment. So.....I'm thinking @JJ Husker is closer to reality than you are.

This article actually gave me some encouragement. I've grown to despise the word patriot because it's been bastardized by the far right. It's like the right is always out to prove THEY are the true patriots and way more patriotic than anyone that doesn't believe exactly what they do. It truly has become the calling cry of people who are far from a true patriot of our country.

Joe Biden and his America hating, job killing, socialist tax increases have decimated the jobs market to the point where unemployment is the lowest its been in 53 years. Since before the moon landing. All this while hourly earnings are on pace to rise 3.5% on the year. All this while the Federal Reserve is trying to hurt unemployment and curb wage growth as much as possible and conservatives have been rooting for a recession.

Eff the Buffaloes.

How could anyone hate a massager?

Uh oh.....

Speaking of "too busy" you seem to have skipped the post that dismembered every feeble dodge you have on the subject.

Despite being an abomination of a human being, Donald Trump still enjoys a 79% approval rating among Republicans. For a variety of reasons, many Republican voters may want to move onto another candidate, including the younger, more articulate Ron DeSantis, who has adopted most of Trump's positions and red meat messaging. The GOP midterms were not about pro-Trump vs. anti-Trump: the debates were about which candidate loved Donald Trump the most. No viable candidate openly disavowed him. Liz Cheney would have been reelected forever in Wyoming had she not. So we're looking at a case of "I voted for Trump twice, and I will vote for him again, but he's pretty old and increasingly batty and it might be nice to have someone different up there, as long as he says all the thing's Trump's been saying." Sound like anyone you know? Even so, Trump currently has a 17% lead over DeSantis nationwide, rather than the four states cited in your link. Fun fact: when registered Republicans were asked to name their preferred 2024 candidate without being given a list of options, Donald Trump, Jr. came in third, ahead of Mike Pence. And in a simpler time, Mike Pence would be considered the far right wing of the party.

Yet here we are, trying to refute someone’s brain disease. Time for the ignore function….again.

Typical Archy Make several posts claiming republicans were not okay with storming the capital and insurrection but then try to reduce counter claims, in the face of contrary overwhelming evidence, to an impossible to define number and specific names and also attempt to change the argument to being about those who didn’t enter the capital. Sure, there are some republicans who didn’t support it. As far as elected R representatives and Senators I could name only about 3. But reasoning with you is a complete waste of effort. You will defend your party and useless politicians at all costs, even your dignity. Everyone except for apparently you knows what happened that day and what the majority of your party has done and said about it. Continue being obstinate and in denial as you see fit. I’ve got a wall to talk to that is more reasonable.

Republicans removed Ilhan Omar because in 2019 she wrote, “We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.” Republicans, four years later, determined this was anti-Semitism and they had to punish her. Republicans also put Marjorie Taylor-Greene, a self-proclaimed Qanon admirer, a White-Nationalist supporter and an anti-Semite, on the House Homeland Security Committee. It couldn't be more obvious that the motivation isn't some vaguely anti-Semitic comment by Omar. If that were the litmus test, half of Congress would lose their committee assignments.

Why shouldn't they? I don't know the details of every case, but there's a chance that some that have been arrested didn't enter the capital. But, instead they attacked capital police. Absolutely everyone that crossed over where the mob broke through the barricades and injured police officers, should rightfully, expect to be under investigation.

The second to the last paragraph (at least from what we can see in the screenshot embedded in the tweet) says "Whereas Representatives Cheney and Kinzinger are participating in a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse....." Then @Archy1221says So he's saying that the resolution is talking about the persecution of those being outside the Capitol. Yet when asked to provide examples of those who were peacefully protesting outside the Capitol being persecuted, he can't. The resolution is actually implying that those who entered the Capitol and attempted to overthrow democracy are being "persecuted". Because, as far as I know, those who have been charged and convicted (i.e. persecuted) were not in anyway peacefully protesting. So yeah, no chance they mean those outside the Capitol Ehh

Please don't be so thick. 100% of the Republican National Committee declared the Jan 6 rioters to simply be engaging in "legitimate political discourse." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/04/republicans-capitol-attack-legitimate-political-discourse-cheney-kinzinger-pence

lol....he isn't wrong.

Love me some Trey Palmer, and he will be in the league. I don't see him as a slot "short possession" WR. I see him as a downfield mismatch, and that might only be 3-6 plays a game, regardless if the ball finds him or not. He's got blazing speed and can catch it down field. But also, he is good with bubble screens. My fair criticism of him is that he can't do underneath stuff because he doesn't catch the mid-range passes that need to be caught. I don't know if it's because there is traffic in the middle of the field that get's into his head, knowing he could be/might be hit. But we all seen it this year, and him having alligator arms on basic mid-level routes. So I don't think that whoever drafts him will put him in that position. Running a quick screen or all-out downfield skinny post is in his wheelhouse. The NFL will do that with him. He will get drafted, be on a team, have a role, and can be happy with it. Even if it's a designated small role.

So the polling is 88% to 100% Trump or Trump Lite. By golly maybe your party is coming around

That's not what I said, nor the article I linked said. It says that 65% say the party needs to show loyalty to the man who started, motivated and still supports the insurrection.

if they put the guys in 747's and flew them up to 35,000 feet and had them shoot at the balloon from there they still couldn't have any bullets reach that balloon

Alarmists have been claiming fan support will decline and the end of the sellout streak is imminent for about 20 years now. Me thinks it ain’t happening.

Hey, if somebody has a disease, it's not taking things personal to say that they do in fact have a disease.

i was actually being generous when i said half the republican party supported the insurrection. it is actually more than half.

There’s always money in the banana stand

The migrant caravan this fall is going to reach 1 billion people.

My favorite part is how they quickly pivoted to "the real economy" by pointing out Ford reported a huge drop in profitability, since you know employment numbers and wage growth aren't. But hey, I'm sure conservatives are consistent and will point out that General Motors posted great numbers earlier this week, thus showing the strength of the "real economy".

Every time my parents visit they bring a tub of my old crap that is still at their house. Over thanksgiving they brought up a bunch of my old sports cards, including a binder full of Jordan cards. My son convinced me to get some PSA graded, so I sent 4 of them in a few weeks ago (talked to a local card shop and they told me which ones to send in). I am hoping to get them graded at a 9 (out of 10) as the guy at the card shop said "these are in really good condition", but I am guessing they probably are a 7 or 8. 1987 Fleer ($15k for a PSA 10) - https://www.psacard.com/auctionprices/basketball-cards/1987-fleer/michael-jordan/summary/299721 1988 Fleer ($3k for a PSA 10) - https://www.psacard.com/auctionprices/basketball-cards/1988-fleer/michael-jordan/summary/299820 1988 Fleer All Star ($3k for a PSA 10) - https://www.psacard.com/auctionprices/basketball-cards/1988-fleer/michael-jordan/summary/299926 1988 Fleer sticker ($30k for a PSA 10) - https://www.psacard.com/auctionprices/basketball-cards/1988-fleer-sticker/michael-jordan/summary/300625

Godspeed Mr. Goldsmith. A very important job in today's world.

lol. you will forever protect the traitors. so be it.

What is the joke? What is the dirtiest thing ever said on TV? "Ward, you were a little hard on the beaver last night"

The Senior Bowl has lost influence recently, mainly because of the number of underclassmen who declare every year. But, it is a good opportunity to make an impact on one or two teams who likes what a player shows in that week. I know you like Palmer from him being a Husker, but I don't see the route running ability from Palmer that OBJ had coming out of college. OBJ could run every route, and he was so quick in the middle of the field. Palmer is FAST, but I don't see that quickness in his route-running. From what I am seeing, Palmer's current grade has him in the 4th round. It's possible that he may get drafted higher if he catches the eye of a team who has a vertical attack, who utilizes the slot route to get vertical. Palmer's best routes are vertical routes, so he needs to be in an offense which does that.

It’s not personal at all. It’s simply an accurate characterization of what has been happening these last few pages. Excuse me if I don’t need to waste time arguing with someone who has proven repeatedly to ignore reality. It’s a hallmark trait of people in your party.

Why will it cost $150 million for a new coaching staff? Also, the new Big Ten TV contract is poised to net each Big Ten team $100M per year. That's a good start on paying a potential coaching staff (if Rhule fails).

Didn't bother with that dribble but Rhule & attorneys freely negotiated and signed the contract with DONU. They didn't sign it under duress. And now it's somehow NU's fault he is suing the Panthers? What a crock of sh$t.

the grift goes on

everyone was working to keep trump in power. they are setting up to do it again. but keep telling yourself it's not what they are doing
