  1. Well for the record, he did use the Presidency to declare himself dictator in chief, inasmuch as refusing to cede a democratic election really tips your dictatorial hat. That the bullwarks of democracy held tough against his unprecedented attempt gives hope. Yet Trump has spent the intervening years doubling down on his stolen elections claims, defending and championing the people who used violence in his defense, while red state legislatures quietly tweaked their election statutes to more easily award electoral votes regardless of actual vote counts. By everyone's account, they got smarter about how to pull off an autocracy. I mean, Donald Trump literally said "I will rule as a dictator from Day One" and has unambiguously promised vengeance against his detractors. He literally used Hitler quotes to rile the base, and literally admires (and envies) Vladimir Putin, Kim Jung-Un, and Benito Mussolini, and literally invited straight-up Nazi Nick Fuentes to Mar-a-Lago and considers him an influencer/ally. Rather than terrify GOP voters, Trump is coasting to an unprecedented nomination to be President again. And he was a nightmare before, which you pretend to admit, but not really. I'm hoping the bullwarks still hold, even as people like you undermine them out of reflex, but it's hard to imagine this will be pretty. If we wait for the dictatorship to really prove itself before we wake up, all we can say is "ooops." On the other hand.....Hunter Biden. Now go sit down and think about what you've done.

  2. What if Satterfield doesn’t struggle? What if he only struggles a little bit? What if Val’s stops selling pizza in the stadium, then who is OC and QB coach?

  3. I think that if one year my job title was OC/QB coach, and the next year my title was Co-OC/TE coach, I’d want to have a pretty good year.

  4. For f#&% sakes, dude, democratic elections and the peaceful transfer of power have been in place for almost 250 years, and that did not stop Donald Trump from trying to hold onto office against everything in the Constitution. He may have been a slightly more loyal Vice-President and/or handful of Secretaries of State from getting away with it. And you can credit or blame the Secret Service for preventing Donald Trump from leading the insurgents into the Capitol chambers. Sounds like a deluded libtard nightmare. Wish it was. Your party is currently running under a banner declaring the previous and perfectly legal election being stolen, and has been hard at work undermining that system at strategic and typically overlooked state levels. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/01/republicans-elections-key-states-2024-00124734 Loyalty is Donald Trump's first and only criteria, and he will be scraping the bottom of the barrel to fill his ranks. Thanks not paranoid conjecture. It's just how he operates. Why on Earth won't you take Donald Trump at his word? We can argue about the odds or severity of a more autocratic Trump, but only a fool would laugh this off.

  5. Yawn. It’s Hunter effin Biden. Not a government employee or elected official. Wake me up when they prove (actual proof, not unsupported claims of proof) that money and influence was flowing to his President father. Until then all this is HB, just another POS.

  7. maybe that's how they got Satterfield to switch. Rhule: "hey Mark. We are looking at making some staff changes. You okay continuing to coach Haarberg?" Satterfield: "Yes. Thank you!" Rhule (walking out the office door): "We moved him to TE..."

  14. The Nebrasketball roller coaster continues. Similar to the collapse at Minnesota, you can not lose games like this if you want to make the tournament. Up double digits in the 1st half and don’t make a basket in the last 6:30. Then up double digits in the 2nd half and don’t make a basket the last 9:40. And then toss in what looks like an Achilles injury to Gary…

  15. He runs for President promising to be a dictator from Day One and prosecute his deep state enemies. Check. He wins the Republican nomination in a landslide and reads it correctly as a mandate. Highly likely. He chooses a Vice-President who would be willing to subvert the Constitution in the way Mike Pence wouldn't. Won't be hard. He either wins the election outright, or contests the loss again, unafraid to use J6 tactics already used and endorsed by the party that elected him. He fills every position with loyalists. We're no longer talking about Rex Tillerson. We're talking about Mike Flynn who LITERALLY CALLED FOR A MILITARY COUP AGAINST THE US GOVERNMENT. https://time.com/6053336/michael-flynn-coup/ He stacks the Supreme Court with rightwing standard-bearers. Already done. Trump and allies develop a plan to restructure the U.S. government with sweeping executive powers that align with Trump's vision. Oh s#!t. They already did that, too. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/conservatives-aim-to-restructure-u-s-government-and-replace-it-with-trumps-vision As the hellscape of a vengeful Trump enters its final year, will he declare the two term limit void and rule as dictator for life? Or will the 81 year old Trump simply handle the mantle and machinery to Don Jr.? Remember, it he does the latter it will mean he didn't declare himself dictator for life, meaning Archy was right and we can all have a good laugh about how worried we were.

  16. You’re caught up in a semantics argument and glossing over the attempt. Don’t worry if Trump falls into your exact definition of a dictator. Don’t worry about if he would become a dictator or transform our government. That isn’t the point. Hopefully we have enough safeguards in place to prevent things from going even further with another better attempt. Instead focus on if we (you) really want Trump anywhere near that seat of power again. And believe him when he says he will punish those who oppose him. Trust that he has figured out new better ways to get those electors overturned. Know that he will put key people in place to help him and remove those that oppose him. Isn’t that enough? Focusing on if he would be ultimately successful is only empowering him to make another attempt.

  17. I think he has at least a 25% chance of it if he’s elected. It’s crazy to not think it’s a legitimate possibility. You’ve got blinders on if you don’t think it is. I don’t understand why you think you need the comment about having a beer. Nobody saying this is doing it to try to impress anyone. They are just people paying a minimum amount of attention.

  18. FIFY And...I don't know if he could accomplish it or not. But, it's clear that he's tried and has said specifically that he will again and his followers agree that he should be a dictator. Sooo......pardon me if I pay attention and will fight against giving him the chance.

  21. In the late fall of 2017, you couldn't find anyone who would argue that Scott Frost wasn't qualified to be a P5 head coach, or that Nebraska wasn't lucky he was a legacy, letting them steal Frost from big name P5 schools courting him. Nebraska fans were joyous, but their expectations were reasonable: Scott just had to be better than Mike Riley. He also had to be better than angry drunken gamblers who trash everyone on fansite bulletin boards, which is a pretty low bar. Turns out Scott was a bit of a d!(k, and a less than inspirational example of leadership. Maybe a lot of it revolves around his questionable behavior and troubled personal life. If that's the case, maybe he can still pull a Steve Sarkasian, who seemed to slur himself out of a career just a few years ago. But it's silly to act all knowing in hindsight, or to blame anything on the sanity of Husker fans.

  23. I don't recall the names and details, but didn't the Republicans announce their smoking gun a few months ago? An insider and former Democrat who could connect all the dots between Joe and Hunter, providing incontrovertible evidence justifying investigation and prosecution? And then under questioning, the smoking gun guy admitted he had no linkage and never witnessed anything actionable against Joe Biden? Since Hunter remains the centerpiece of a Biden Crime Family narrative, what replaced the smoking gun guy in terms of actionable evidence? Aren't there several Republicans admitting they've yet to see anything? I'm looking at you Archy, seeing as you still consider this a serious matter, while insisting the prospect of a Donald Trump dictatorship is laughable.

  28. I believe that our form of government has lasted because the people have believed in it and(.for the most part) elected officials who also believe in it and protect it. I firmly believe this is what he wants to do. He’s said repeatedly how he admires dictators around the world. He now has roughly 35% of the population believing what he says about this and agrees with him. That’s the majority of one major party. When you question if I believe this is possible, I think back and remember a time when I never thought a piece of s#!t like him could get elected and still have that much support. You might not believe this, but there are actually people who voted for him twice after already knowing all this about him. And, there are already people throughout our government who 100% support him in all this.

  29. He tried by motivating his followers to attack our government and stop the peaceful transition….leaving him in power. If you paid attention to the hearings, he knew some were armed. So, he basically tried to have his “military” keep him in power. Luckily, we had people at the head of our military that he knew wouldn’t do that for him. He can change that next time. Then, he has put people on the SC that owe him. He’s said that already.

  30. Well - I think that is an appropriate label for those who downgrade what Trump can and would do. Another label: Enabler. A vote for Trump enables him to have that opportunity to do WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO.

  34. Well then, it should be extremely easy for the Rs, who have been exhaustingly all over this issue, to get a conviction and actual ties to JB on the official record. I wonder what is taking so long. Waiting….waiting. Funny how some people are overly concerned with this while the most corrupt pos Presidential candidate in the history of this country is running away with the R nomination and is poised to be elected our next President. I also had misplaced priorities one time….or is it on purpose. But the emails…but Hunter…but but but.

  35. You’re gonna be napping for a while. Or course they’ll insinuate there’s proof, allude to it, etc. Everything but showing it to you. I’ll let you decide why. I’ll just say if this clown car of an “investigation” had actual damning evidence implicating a sitting president of the opposite party, they wouldn’t be hitting pause on their current work.

  36. I asked bc If Satterfield struggles do you think Thomas would replace him after the season and still be the qb coach??

  37. Yeah that was one of things that Trev Alberts wanted was a coach to be out there in the public. Even though the wins haven't come yet, he is starting to be the face of the program or one might argue he is. To making radio interviews and public appearances you can't say he isn't working to trying to improve the roster and bringing back respectability to the program as well as doing a great job of being accessible. If the offense takes a step forward and the defense plays as well as they did then we can get to a bowl game. I still would like him to bring in another qb to add depth to the qb room and just in case of injury bc I don't trust what is behind Raiola. Thank you.

  43. Just curious what conclusions can be jumped to. Started in Atlanta the same year Matt Ryan was a rookie. Atlanta Falcons Offensive Assistant (Ryan's stats): 2008 - 61.1%, 16/11 TD/INT, 7.9 ypa 2009 - 58.3%, 22/14, 6.5 2010 - 62.5%, 28/9, 6.5 2011 - 61.3%, 29/12, 7.4 Atlanta Falcons QB Coach: 2012 - 68.6%, 32/14, 7.7 2013 - 67.4%, 26/17, 6.9 2014 - 66.1%, 28/14, 7.5 Temple: 2014 (before GT) - 200 ypg, 53.1%, 13/16, 6.0 2015 (QB Coach) - 217 ypg, 56.9%, 20/8, 6.9 2016 (OC/QB) - 237 ypg, 57.6%, 22/13, 8.2 Baylor: 2016 (before GT) - 280 ypg, 56.0%, 33/15, 7.6 2017 (OC/QB) - 287 ypg, 58.2%, 23/14, 7.5 2018 (OC/QB) - 290 ypg, 60.9%, 22/13, 7.8 2019 (OC/QB) - 255 ypg, 62.4%, 24/8, 8.0 UNLV: 2019 (before GT) - 206 ypg, 53.6%, 20/12, 6.4 2020 (OC/QB) - 185 ypg, 58.7%, 6/4, 5.7 *COVID 2021 (OC/QB) - 202 ypg, 58.4%, 11/14, 7.3 Arizona State: 2021 (before GT) - 194 ypg, 65.8%, 12/10, 8.1 2022 (OC/QB) - 251 ypg, 66.8%, 18/10, 7.5 There's some extenuating circumstances in about all of those - Ryan starting as a rookie was likely to improve, PJ Walker was also young before GT took over at Temple, Baylor was a mess, UNLV had COVID in the mix - but there seems to be a noticeable improvement in stats after he took over direct control. And he's got a lot of OC experience so he hopefully has some good input into the overall offense.
