Nah those problems exist because the world is a complex place full of conflict and competing interests from lots of different groups of people with different, sometimes opposing, interests. Most of us have admitted as much. Anyone who tries to distill the blame down to Biden or Trump or any other single president is lying or stupid. Conmen like Trump sell simple solutions to hard problems. Who can forget "I alone can fix it?" If you weren't born yesterday, you realize they're lying. Personally I think he's a corrupt piece of crap who gets off on being a political cult leader, and it freaks me out to see how many people are willing to buy in. I thought we were smarter than that as a people. Even here in this thread, you're towing his current company line. I'm happy to continue casting my lot with Biden because he's honest. He's not selling me snake oil and telling me I just need to put my faith in him to fix all the world's scary problem. They just keep quietly, competently plugging away behind the scenes, making the sausage that moves the ball forward on real issues while not promising any magic solutions to things they can't directly control. They're just working to make things better than they are now. I'll take that over a self-obssessed liar just vying to stay out of prison, 10 times out of 10.

Kind of begs the question why this hasn't been done before now. But, at any rate, this should clear the path for our return to the Big XII....

This guy pretty much sums me up.

I still have friends that watch Fox every night.

Well the Dems had control of Congress and the Exec branch for 2 years. The only thing I remember Biden doing was appointing Kamala Border Czar. Maybe what they wanted would not have gotten past Manchin, but perception is they own the mess. There was some policy called Remain in Mexico. Seems like when that expired it all started breaking loose. My family and I invest our own time and money helping refugee families settle here. 3 so far from Karin Nation, Afghanistan (post withdrawal fiasco) and now Central Africa. I would not call myself anti immigration. I am anti chaos however.

tRump hires only the best.

World-renowned international diplomacy expert Jared Kushner was busy "negotiating" a Middle East peace deal he never delivered. But hey, at least he pocked $2B from the Saudis for himself. Between that and all the Chinese trademarks Ivanka was granted when Daddy was president, they made out quite well for themselves. I would love to hear the conservative case on these issues, though. Was being to announce Jared the great negotiator was on the case good enough? Or perhaps just letting Bibi be a corrupt right-wing asshat and take whatever his ultra right-wing caucus wanted by force is "peaceful" by con standards because he and Don were buddies? I know they LOVED the decision to relocate our embassy to Jerusalem, but what is the case that any of this was considered "peaceful" rather than the ongoing violent conflict that has wracked the region for literally decades? Likewise with the southern border. Is kids in cages sufficient to solve our problem? Turning people back into Mexico? Some of those psychos in the previous administration wanted to just straight up shoot migrants as a deterrent. Trump suggested shooting them in the leg to slow them down, as well as firing missiles into Mexico to target drug labs. I get that most people think our immigration system is upside down and don't like illegal immigration, but a lot of cons just seem to want tougher enforcement. They don't care about doing the hard things to actually address the situation as long as they get harsh enforcement (for some, outright cruelty is the point) so they can feel good. Again, conservatives are deeply unserious.

Not to mention in no particular order... US troops in direct contact with Syrian and Russian forces. Turkey invaded Syria. Saudi Arabia bombed the hell out of Yemen. US bombing Iranian backed milita in Iraq that led to US embassy being burned... Nevermind Trump's Israeli policy (not Israeli Palestinian, because it was completely one sided) did nothing to deescalate the region, and probably help push us to where we are now. Recognized Jerusalem as the capital, move the US embassy, unrecognized Palestinian territories, recognized Israeli settlements, etc.

The middle east was not peaceful under Trump. That was the BS that was trying to be sold.

the middle east was on fire then also. syria, us "bombing the hell" out of isis, we lost troops in yemen, we assassinated an iranian general and they bombed of our bases in iraq, we abandoned our kurdish allies and let turkey destroy them, i know we lost troops in at least 1 other country but i can't recall it and it might have been in africa. we were still fighting in afghanistan also. it was not as peaceful as you want to pretend it was

Most Bama fans never went to college in the first place, so it makes sense that they would be sensitive about this.

The first paragraph is priceless.

Anyone here know if Glenn Thomas extends his arms?

Trump is going to be so pissed.

well..they don't have burt reynolds in a black trans am to run intereference for them so....

Trump didn't need a mole there, he was the mole.

Well, if Republicans want to go down the rabbit hole of blaming all the middle east wars on Biden, we could aways just move it in this direction.

None is going to be a special player.

Good for you guys. We need people out there trying to support and welcome these people. That's tremendous. Remain in Mexico is, in and of itself, not an answer. IT may have made things better, temporarily, but likewise, the MAGA patriots in charge back then never had any intention of further addressing the situation besides tougher enforcement. Rather than just lobbing blame back and forth like a tennis ball because it's an election year, hopefully we can both just admit both parties have dropped the ball on this matter for WAY too long. It's only hurting everyone involved, from the immigrants to all Americans here dealing with our broken system. Let's hope for everyone's sake they get it over the finish line this time.

Jim is just one weird creepy dude that I would not like no matter where he coaches.

It doesn't seem like we're really looking that hard at anyone, other than the high school LB. We don't really have any room. But we didn't before we took the last three guys either.

Ummmm……boohoo a$$h@!e.

Genuinely hope he gets his life together and lives a healthy, happy life.

HELL NO ! YOU ALWAYS RUN THE BALL AROUND HERE !

we have taylor swift....they have rosanne.

This is a well stated and perfect response. However, it's well known that the Middle East is a bastion of stability and is known for its long periods of peace and collaboration with the West. Any deviation from this list be Biden's fault. No, my opinion will not be changed based on well sourced facts or articulated arguments as seen above. And yes, I plan on voting based on this.

Was pretty much 100% R since 1988. 2016, all R except wrote in me for president. 2018 maybe 1 or 2 Repugs. Ever since, all Dem.

You can already see Republicans starting to gird their loins and level off their excitement after getting their marching orders from their bloated orange god

there are many people like him. i didn't vote all republican....but i bet i was over 90% republican. in 2016 i voted for republicans i thought were normal and voted for clinton over trump. since then not 1 republican vote from me.

in the original they were smuggling coors beer. it was illegal east of the mississippi at the time.

Nice reference!

I did that! Haha I think it is pretty normal (wrong but common) to blame the President at the time IF you don't like that President.

I'm going to put in a special request that we only play them in basketball at home.

I wonder if HOLY s#!t tweeter Call to Activism is gonna calm down a little now and let the news play out some next time

I completely agree. I like what the NBA has done to remove players from award contention if they miss too many games, but it's crazy they have to go to those measures. I hate to be get off my lawn guy, but back in my day, players just didn't miss games like they do today. The Pistons beat the living hell out of MJ, and he didn't take games off for it. Just a different game back then. Also, nice win against the Bucks last night!

He was the #1 overall in their initial 2024 rankings, but again that's after these kids Sophomore years so it's even more projection than the final rankings (which also project a lot). They did bump him down from that a while ago though, they've been lower on him than the others for a bit. I don't think it's a huge deal, and if anything hopefully just adds a bit of a chip to his shoulder - a lot of great athletes take very minor slights personally. And I do think his college choice impacted his ranking, but not in a "they hate Nebraska" way. There's just a lot of development needed for any high school recruit to live up to 5-star status, and we have zero track record of helping that happen.

I agree...but it clearly sucks more now. That place has never been peaceful, those people are insane. It has always sucked and will probably always suck in the future. I don't think it really matters about the President in the US, I think it was just something that got worse while Joe was in office but it doesn't really have anything to do with Joe being in office.

From glancing through his replies after the tweet, it's guys who finished their career at Bama (so if they transfer from Bama to somewhere else, it doesn't count). Plus, QBs throwing TD passes don't count because the stat book gives the points to the guy who actually crossed the goal line. Bart Starr was an example. Played at Bama, threw TD passes in the Super Bowel, but the stats go to the guys who caught them. I don't remember if Jalen Hurts scored a rushing TD or not, but the Eagles list him as playing at OU not Bama since that was the last school attended. He also pointed out that you don't have to graduate from the school, it's just the last one you attended before the NFL (a lot of Bama fans were whining about their guys leaving early and thinking that's what was disqualifying them).

I must have forgot how the Middle East was on fire 2017-2020. Or when the border encounters averaged 250,000 A MONTH 2017-2020 Weird times, man

UNC and NC St. are tied at the hip. If UNC decides to leave without little brother, they have to pay them LOADS of money. Miami and FSU will be the first set of ACC teams to join. Both teams already have the go ahead from the B1G when the ACC’s GOR is dissolved. Also, the AAU status for FSU doesn’t mean squat to the other B1G members but FSU is on their way to gaining it.

Serious and true

Okay, I am super anti-gun but this is funny s#!t!

Looks like a certain poster (me) is looking more and more righter.

"Witch Hunt!! So unfair. Sad. Biden's weaponized DOJ targeting MAGA again!!"

My point is, great coaches agree that sometimes passing on short yardage downs is good strategy.
