Good lord, this post is almost too stupid to respond to, but I'm going to try anyway. You didn't think the evidence was there...based on the fact that she didn't report the assault for years? Based on her watching the Apprentice? When you mocked these behaviors is where you shamed her. You certainly have not presented any sort of legal argument for why you think Trump wasn't guilty. This is dumb. Really dumb. Uncharacteristically dumb for you. Amazing. You see, in the case I heard this week, I believe there wasn't enough evidence to show sexual misconduct. I am basing that decision after carefully listening to testimony, reviewing evidence, and weighing credibility. I am going to spend the next few days carefully crafting a report that articulates this decision while taking great care to not blame or shame the Complainant for her reactions. In the Trump/Carroll case, a jury carefully listened to testimony, reviewed evidence, and weighed credibility, and found in a court of law that there was sufficient evidence of his guilt. That's the way it works. Each finding for each specific case is based on the unique facts of that one case. If you think that your earlier post was not a version of victim shaming, yet my professional determination in a case that you know nothing about somehow does constitute victim shaming, well...hmmmmmm yourself. I do believe a jury of your peers right here on Huskerboard will review these posts and determine that you are talking out of your a$$.

No competent lawyer who values their reputation, their credibility, or their accounts billable would touch Trump with a 39 and a half foot pole. All he's left to pick from are quacks and losers. His next attorney, if he can find one, is going to be equally $h!tty or worse. Classic victim blaming here, nice job. Let's have a quick look at this: People who have been victimized/traumatized will not always act the way we might expect, which in turn makes it difficult to assess their claims. But it is extremely common for sexual assault survivors to not report their complaint or pursue any major action. This happens for a variety of reasons, and your victim-blaming posts is one of the responses that many survivors wish to avoid. Survivors fear retaliation. Survivors often realize the uphill battle that awaits them if they are bold enough to file the complaint, especially if there is no physical evidence or witnesses (which is the case the majority of the time). This is especially true when there is a real or perceived power imbalance and the perpetrator has more resources. On top of that, a traumatic response might make people do weird things. Victims return to their abusers all the time. Victims often remember events in a non-linear fashion. Victims might take unusual steps to try to reclaim control of the situation in their heads. I don't know why she enjoyed watching the Apprentice, but it is plausible to think that maybe she was trying to cope with the situation, trying to identify with her attack her, or otherwise trying to rationalize what happened. Maybe she was still drawn to Trump's power and charisma, even though she had been assaulted. We don't know for sure, but these are not foreign concepts if you are trauma-informed. As to the court case itself: he said/she said cases happen all the time with sexual assault matters. You know how these cases are decided when it is one person's word against another without much other evidence? You have to weigh credibility! Hell, given what we know about Donald Trump's credibility, I could probably accuse him of sexual assault and win. Because he has absolutely no credibility at all. You say his lawyers failed to have him testify? LOL! The man would either perjure himself or incriminate himself with every word that came out of his mouth. I'm not saying the civil case was a slam dunk; both sides still had to make compelling arguments. But a civil judgment does not require proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If you have to base a lot of the decision on credibility, and the defendant behaves in the way Trump does - never presenting a cogent argument and only attacking, defaming, and making a fool of himself - winning this case was actually much easier than it would be for the typical sexual assault survivor. The hard part for her was coming forward in the first place, and withstanding Trump's nationwide army of dumbasses and people like you who would rather blame her than believe her.

The headline is that these continue to be the only lawyers willing to represent a billionaire former President. Remember, Trump also hired a legal team that misspelled The United States of America in its brief. Also, a better lawyer might easily have lost the E.Jean trial, too, because Trump is guilty of almost everything he's been accused of, and probably worse, dating to well before his narcissistic journey to the presidency. Some boobs actually voted for this human s#!t-stain twice.

I agree with everything you wrote but it also speaks to evaluators using a finer toothed comb with him compared to other top QB prospects. Raiola does take a lot of hits for a high school player. For example, his last two plays of the season were taking sacks on 3rd and 4th down. The big question is whether it's lack of feel in the pocket or if he is trying to get the ball downfield but afraid to throw into coverage. Physically, he's very strong and doesn't play with panic in the pocket. I think that it is an issue of just teaching Raiola about his options for escaping pressure or dump off passes. But if you're going to criticize Raiola in that way you have to apply that to the other QBs as well. Julian Sayin has a small build and bails on his pocket if there is even the hint of pressure to throw balls underneath. Is he going to respond well to guys that cut off his escapes with ease or is he going to eat sacks and force balls into coverage? DJ Lagway stares directly at his target every play, generally throwing posts to his slot receiver that are much tougher completions in college. In high school these tendencies work because it shows off Sayin's ability to delivers darts to his 2nd or 3rd read and Lagway's ability to deliver bullets downfield into coverage. Similarly, if you just watched highlights, Raiola's tendency to hang in the pocket makes it look like he is standing up to a pass rush to complete tough passes. Simply put, as an incoming freshman, Raiola has the ability to put the ball anywhere he wants on the field and has the physical profile to compete in the highest levels of college football. The next part is the tough one, where he needs to learn where and when to use that talent to get the ball where it needs to go. He's been successful everywhere that he's played so it seems like the sort of thing that he will improve on.

No one puts Baby in the corner!!

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

I mean certainly I made my thoughts known in the Shed, but I think part of the issue here is just the weird amount of deference you’re paying to the current lead of the party whose politics you support on this matter while simultaneously remaining skeptical of his accuser. So the guy who: -Frequently swaps wives for a younger, hotter model -Was busted cheating on said wives with a pornstar and paid her hush money to silence her -Frequently alludes to wanting to bang his daughter -Visited the changing room of the UNDERAGE girls in his beauty pageants because he could -Likely chose his lawyer in said legal case on the basis of her looks (certainly not her legal prowess!); this is a pattern for him and almost all the women of prominence in his orbit -“Grab em by the pu&&y” -Was good friends with Epstein You find it hard to believe THAT GUY is a sexual predator? And if so, good lord, why? Wouldn’t it be easier to just admit you like his politics but you admit he’s by and large the worst human being of any political consequence in any of our lifetimes? And I’m fairly sure I say that without hyperbole in spite of the fact people like David Duke and Dennis Hastert exist.

How it started: How it's going:

Whether you support Donald Trump or Joe Biden, it's ridiculous to ignore that an unprecedented global pandemic had a direct and virtually unavoidable impact on the economy. If you are trying to make a case using numbers from the past four or five years, don't pretend it doesn't require context. You can still make the case that the U.S. emerged from the pandemic considerably better than both our allies and rivals. If you don't want to credit Biden, you can credit the longstanding resilience of the American economy, the whole American exceptionalism thing. And you can still cite inflation as a consequence that hinders recovery for the millions of Americans who live on the margins. Had the economy performed the exact same way under a second Trump term, it's impossible to imagine it not being heralded as the greatest economic recovery in the history of our nation.

NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT TO DO!

Couldn't get all of it, but, yes. All people do is work to scare the crap out of people. You longer are voting for anything, just against it. God forbid we apply the third option in the country. That is, let's start with things we all agree on.

The same states that were decided by razor thin margins in the 2020 election: Arizona Georgia Wisconsin Two other states of importance that may flip are: Pennsylvania Nevada The reason why I think Biden is a slight underdog is simply because the margins he has to win by nationally - approximately 5% popular vote victory - may simply not be possible or viable in a hyper-polarized environment. The Bias of the Electoral College currently favors Republican candidates. Consider the state of Wisconsin: 2016 - Wisconsin finished R+0.7. The National Popular Vote: finished D+2.1. Therefore, Wisconsin was R+2.8 compared to the rest of the country 2020 - Wisconsin finished D+0.65. The National Popular Vote: finished D+4.5. Therefore, Wisconsin was R+3.75. Even though Joe Biden won the state, he had to win the national popular vote by 2% more than Hillary Clinton in 2016. If a similar trend continues into 2024, Joe Biden would have to win a HUGE popular vote victory to keep up with the rightward shift of the state. By 2028, Wisconsin is probably similar to a state like Iowa or Ohio that is no longer competitive. There are similar shifts going on in all the swing states (Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada shifting to the right; Georgia and Arizona shifting to the left). The question is: which trends are happening faster? What kind of margin does a Democrat have to win by in order to win an Electoral College victory? Unless polls are showing robust strength in Biden - a consistent lead of 4-5% - he's likely to lose. Any polling strength of Trump that shows him favored by any amount would mean he wins in an electoral college blowout. Polls that show Biden winning by a small amount - 1-2% - probably indicates a similar result to the 2016 election. A robust popular vote victory but an electoral college loss.

As a Niners fan I wasn't excited when Campbell went for it on fourth down. I was terrified. The field goals weren't exactly gimmes and it's also a "send a message" moment from an offense that the Niners hadn't consistently stopped all day. There were too many easy plays to get three yards, and Detroit called good ones. The receiver drops the ball. Shouldn't happen, but that defines big moments, too, just as much as the play call. When you lose by three, you can't say a third quarter field goal would have made the difference. There's too much situational football in between, too many historic examples of teams who change their game plan to protect a lead and watch it backfire. Imagine if Dan Campbell had settled for field goals, missed one or both, or made both but couldn't stop the Niner onslaught (they did go up by 10, which is more than two field goals). We'd still be roasting Dan Campbell, but the headline would be Gamblin' Dan Loses His Nerve in the Biggest Game. The Lions played the same game that earned them the best season in 67 years. Hats off to Campbell, who still deserves Coach of the Year. Also as a Niners fan: the news coverage seemed to forget there was another team involved. It was all Campbell and finger-pointing, and not nearly as much about the epic comeback by the team going to the actual Super Bowl. Fun game though. For me.

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....

someone is living on the edge somewhere between sexual assault and rape. not sure how much difference there is between those 2 but it can't be much

RedDenver made it easy for you by bolding the most relevant content of your own post, but you are still being willfully obtuse. You shamed her for not behaving in the way that you would have expected a "real" sexual assault victim to behave. You don't believe her because she doesn't fit into YOUR expectations. Luckily, a jury actually weighed all of the facts and evidence, instead of slipping into Archy's judgment of post-sexual assault behaviors.

Probably not. I can't imagine they would. But I was better at golf!

Yep! Capitalism is king. They also do not mess around with their PhD programs in math. I worked with a teacher who had one from there, my god, the final problem he did for his dissertation (not sure if that is what it was actually called) was INSANE.

Funny, because Singapore is probably the single most successful capitalist driven government on Earth.

LOL…..there is no context. It’s literally a joke.

Jim Harbaugh cheated and attacked the integrity of college football as a sport. And then ran off to the NFL. I don't get why more fans don't hate him.

The readers added context really upends the implications you're trying to make.

Granted, 45+ yard field goals are never gimmies, the correct decision in the third quarter was to kick the field goal imo. Being up by three scores midway through the third quarter is both a momentum stopper for the Niners and puts them in a different place mentally considering the lack of possessions left in the game. being down 2 possessions, you can still play your game, but down three possession outs much more urgency into each possession which causes more mistakes to happen and more pressure on each play.

As you pointed out, Im not sure why he hired her. However, a good guess would be that he’s an extremely difficult client and past lawyers have had trouble getting paid. So maybe that’s all he could get I only followed the E Jean case from a top line standpoint. It’s amazing he lost the civil case. It was a he said/she said argument and his lawyers failed to have him testify! So she gets to state her case, she doesn’t know what year this allegedly happened, no dna evidence that I saw was presented (I think both sides agreed to this) 30 plus years of her not expressing an issue about it publicly all the while Trump is in the public eye, her favorite TV is the apprentice at one point! Who does that???? Allegedly gets sexually assaulted, then really enjoys watching the person who assaulted her be on tv?!? It sounded like his attorney had no clue how to approach the case other than in the media, which obviously didn’t work and probably backfired. He shoulda paid competent attorneys up front, won the case, then sued for attorney fees. Instead he chose the route that as you said ended in an $83 million judgement.

At looking fine, but that’s about all. From what I read, only an incompetent boob like her coulda lost the E Jean trials. Sounds like she was a terrible lawyer and obviously Trump acted like a terrible defendant.

Annnnnnnddddddddd……Jerome Powell does what Jerome Powell does best and crush almost every good rally.

I certainly understand that, however, this shows that the popular vote win totals are confined to 2 extremely populated extremely Democrat Blue states. Combine the rest of the country and it’s pretty balanced. I also often wonder if it were a true popular vote contest, what the vote totals would be for each party in those respective states. I would imagine those vote totals would be closer

i threw that away somewhere on that island when it ran out of ammo

Which states do you think are the most important swing states this time around?

Pretty spot on.

DUFF MAN REGRETS THROWING INTO DOUBLE COVERAGE!

I don't know about Kelce but Swift might be the most popular person in the country right now.

What would make you think such a thing? When people like Erdman are saying rational things like “God created standard time”, what could they screw up?

Yeah, cause he was a gun owner.

Why are some of you still "confused" about this. IF YOU HAVE A GUN YOUR IDIOT KIDS WILL TRY TO GET TO THAT GUN. All of you that have a gun at home, 100% facts, your kids have f#&%ed with your gun OR tried to f#&% with your gun when you were not around. Period. End of discussion. STOP HAVING A GUN AT HOME.

You punish parents with the death penalty if they have a gun and that gun gets in their kids hands. No trial, no debate, you get executed. Problem solved once again.

I wonder what would happened if we had gotten kicked out of the AAU before the Big 10 invite. I wonder if 1. We would have gotten the Big 10 invite 2. If we don't get the Big 10 invite (with Missouri probably getting the invite instead), would the Big 12 have managed to stay together to this very day, minus just Missouri and Colorado. (And possibly just minus Colorado if Rutgers got the BIG invite rather than Missouri.) I can't help but suspect that Nebraska's exit made a long term impact on the Big 12's prestige and income that permanently de-stablized the conference, and helped lead to aTm's exit the following year and Texas and OU's exit many years later. Of course, there's also the worst case scenario for Nebraska, which is that Texas, OU and aTm end up leaving anyway, and we get stuck in some husk of a conference that invites teams like UCF and Cinncinatti.

Had anybody on here seriously heard of the AAU before we got kicked out of it something like 9 months after the Big 10 invite? Heck, even now, has anybody except for Nebraska fans (and academic professionals) heard of the AAU?

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

None is going to be a special player.
