Yeah, It absolutely tracks that you have forgotten the existence of reports saying things like, "“numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign.”, “a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.”, “[a] statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does not mean there was no evidence of those facts.”, and “investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”

This post is easily top 5 for dumbest s#!t ever posted on Husker Board. You should probably just delete your account.

Are you telling me the Republican party doesn't have a Russia problem right now? Or is this typical Archy, where you put all your eggs in an old semantic basket and pretend you're not wrong?

Holy hypeerbole, Batman!

I read somewhere that almost every founding religious text contains a minor variation on The Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It's so simple, so relatable, so easy to put into practice. It renders the rest of religious teachings almost superfluous. But it's a hard rule to fully adhere to, because at some level we reserve the right to want more, give less, and feel superior to others.

I'm guessing that many if not most Christians would like for the United States to be a Christian nation, and many of those would not mind if we went ahead and made that official. This is what separation of church and state was designed to avoid. It's worked out pretty well, as most of the Commandments are common sense directives that align with basic human decency, and forgoing a Nativity Manger on the public square does not prohibit the practicing of religion or celebration of Christmas. But I'm also guessing that human history is cyclical, and we seem to be entering a cycle that is agitating for a battle of morality, goaded by political forces seeking control of the masses. Full disclosure: I'm an agnostic. My personal belief is that we might get along better if we admitted what we don't really know.

Whoopsie...more GOP/Russian collusion comes to light. https://www.businessinsider.com/a-russia-linked-campaign-to-spread-dirt-about-hunter-biden-and-burisma-2024-2?r=US&IR=T "A thumb drive handed by a foreign national to an aide traveling with then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in 2019 suggests efforts by Russia-linked actors to influence the 2020 US presidential election with Hunter Biden disinformation began earlier and were broader in scope than has previously been reported. According to two sources with direct knowledge of the incident, a thumb drive containing poorly sourced allegations about Hunter Biden and his work for Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, was thrust into the hands of one of Pompeo's aides at the conservative Claremont Institute's 40th-anniversary gala in Beverly Hills on May 11, 2019."

And now pedophilia is not outright wrong, but the answers have been changing. It is interesting how the answers changed...a 'don't ever say that again' update by Google, or an evolving 'opinion'. Makes me curious about why the AI started off the way it did, and how much influence the initial information received has. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/media/red-faced-google-apologizes-woke-ai-bot-gives-appalling-answers-pedophilia-stalin.amp From: The question of whether pedophilia is ‘wrong’ is multifaceted and requires a nuanced answer that goes beyond a simple yes or no." A Google spokesperson told Fox News Digital: "The answer reported here is appalling and inappropriate. We’re implementing an update so that Gemini no longer shows the response." To: "Pedophilia is a serious mental health condition that can have devastating consequences for victims. It is characterized by a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. People with pedophilia may or may not act on their urges, but even if they do not, the thoughts and feelings can be very distressing." And: Asked a second time..."I'm sorry, but I can't answer that question. Pedophilia is a serious mental health disorder, and it is never right. If you are struggling with these thoughts, please seek help from a professional. You can find a list of resources here:...

How absolutely effed up is our system that a duly elected representative is not immediately and automatically seated after being elected? I see no reason why it should be dependent on any party, let alone the opposing party, to complete the process.The voters in his district effectively have no representation while the children play their BS partisan games.

The copium is amazing

Huskers pre-1962 is .570. Yep, still better than Iowa. Iowa also has 13 conference championships, all-time. Nebraska, on the other hand, won its 13th conference championship all the way back in 1921.

It absolutely tracks that the Steele dossier purchased by DNC and defective HRC was Russian disinformation designed to hurt the Trump campaign and also the Presidency if elected. And it did. DNC didn’t purposely use Russian disinformation because they were trying to advance Russian goals. They used it because they thought they could politically benefit from it. Great job guys! At some point, hopefully in the very near future, you all will realize Russia doesn’t really give a s#!t about which party is elected. Sowing all this confusion and fake info, bickering and get everyone silo’d is the main goal. Root out the REAL Russian spies and co-conspirators, which are few and far between in reality. But stop with the nonsense that continues to get skewed about a political party trying to do Russia’s bidding, or a President trying to do Russia’s bidding. Until then, you are just unwittingly helping out that Russian cause.

I'm just trying to move beyond Archy's fixation on the Mueller Report to the much larger collusion taking place in broad daylight as we speak. (Although I will pause to note you forgot to mention it produced 8 felony convictions, including Donald Trump's campaign manager. That's something that shouldn't happen if it's nothing)

I chose my words carefully. Answer the f#&%ing question.

lol

You claimed that people get more conservative as they get older. This tweet is saying that isn’t necessarily true anymore.

What a complete fraud.

Does religion make our moral code or did we make it, and what exactly from our moral code and modern law do you think comes from religion? Also, I assume you're only talking about Judeo Christian religion, right? I ask because I think you come at this from a very narrow perspective given your leanings. I would argue that we've created these moral codes in order to be a functioning society. Because what I think you're going to point out won't be unique to Christianity but will be found all over the world.

Ummm

I’m not acting like Russia is “changing” elections. Maybe you could quit acting like they’re not “influencing” our elections. And you do you but if I was a big party line supporter, I would show at least a modicum of concern that Russia/Putin were showing such preference for my favorite party and politicians. It’s as if Russia realizes that the best way to destabilize our country and democracy is to do what you do and support the MAGA led GOP.

"There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent." - Lao Tzu

You would have to show me some, even one, example of how I’m not in favor of charging them all regardless of party affiliation. And remember, I’m not the one in this discussion whose take away from a post about the GOP house speaker taking campaign contributions from Russia was to shrug it off with some tone deaf reply about how many points he won election by. And then follow that up with the bandwagon/ad populum fallacy of claiming everyone does it.

The problem to me is that if a religion -- the dominant religion -- believes in the omniscience, agenda, and inevitability of its God, it holds a literal and figurative superiority over non-believers that can't be shaken. And of course there's a long, bloody history of seemingly minor divisions in Christian and Muslim sects driving the faithful to holy wars. This thread is already parsing Biblical passages to offer as evidence, but what of the people who don't consider the Bible the rule of law? Or the Torah? Or the Qur'an? How many sacred texts are riddled with mixed messages, or interpreted quite differently between true believers? What's with the abrupt tonal change from the Old to New Testament, like it's a completely different author? Faith. Community. Purpose. Belonging. Believing. That's all great stuff, as is anything that brings people together to consider our common lot. But religion, especially in the public square, is too often about control. What we're seeing right now is an attack on the seats of knowledge, be it academia, journalism, science, or civics. Which means it's also an attack on facts, the kind that might be applied to making decisions. It has often been the role of organized religion to undercut and demonize any institution competing for the hearts and minds of people, and that sentiment has been resurgent and particularly well-organized in recent years. The loving Christians, including several on this board, share my concerns and speak intelligently and compellingly on the subject. But they seem to be a minority of Christians at the moment, and few dare raise the political implications from the pulpit.

Oh gosh, no. Smirnov is definitely a truth bomb that calls the entire GOP party into question and renders hundreds of your posts impotent, but the shift to Russian appeasement is bigger and deeper than the Hunter Biden shenanigans anyway. It's not really about the election either, as Republicans don't care and Democrats have a long list of Trump misdeeds to choose from, including the whole democracy thing. Stay brave!

worth noting that joe biden is only the 2nd catholic president to ever hold office

Well touché. Your selective nonchalance of GOP misdeeds is also hilarious. Funny how you ignored the meat and potatoes of the message in your haste to shoot the messenger. IMO it doesn’t matter if he squeaked by with 1% or 30%. The point is his campaign took money from Russians and Putin ally. And the bigger point is, they wanted to contribute to the GOP and his victory. But nah, let’s just worry about how many points he won by and b!^@h about somebody’s selective outrage.

Uhhh….so? What does that have to do with Russians and a Putin ally contributing to his election fund? Does his margin of victory make it okay? Isn’t it illegal to accept campaign contributions from foreign entities?

I get the sense the Russians have more American-born assets in the US than Russian-born, and I think all they’re doing is buying them.

I knew it would be hard for you to come in here after this bombshell, and I understand the humiliation and disorientation you must be going through. Oh for the days when it was just hookers peeing on the bed. Now the entire party and its right wing media apparatus is torn in its fealty to Vladimir Putin. The hoax is that it was a hoax. Turns out it is even deeper and more consequential. Ironic, huh? But don't worry about the election. Russia doesn't really move the needle with the base beyond wanting to pull funding from liberal lapdog Volodymr Zelensky.

I already take the Thursday/Friday of the first round off & live in Omaha. I've already said that if they make the tournament & get assigned to Omaha I'm getting tickets. I usually sit in a bar all day drinking beer & watching hoops, but I'd be willing to miss most of the games to see the Huskers live in the NCAA tournament.

Religion should be treated like a penis. It's nice to have one, ok if you don't, and either way fine to be proud of it; but don't pull it out in public, stick it in someone's face, or shove it down their throat. But which translation and version? KJV, NKJV, RSV, NRSV-CE, etc. Or do we learn to read the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. Still what order are the books in and what's left out? Are we going literal or more of a Catholic/Protestant vibes? The trouble with any religion is that there are too many interpretations, hince why it has no purpose being applied in government.

1. I am glad you said Poles. Nutjobs think that is an offensive term for us, it isn't, we love it. 2. ussia is never using nukes and Poland knows it, which is why they just spent 4 minutes making fun of ussia. Are there some Poles that are scared, sure, of course. Just like so many of us were scared in the 80's about those commies.

In the least surprising news of the day "But this year, racist conspiracy theorists didn’t meet any perceptible resistance at the conference where Donald Trump has been the keynote speaker since 2017. At the Young Republican mixer Friday evening, a group of Nazis who openly identified as national socialists mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed so-called “race science” and antisemitic conspiracy theories."

Solo homer in the top of the 6th makes it 6-0 Huskers.

Almost every point here is wrong. Barack Obama pointedly avoided publicizing the intel he was getting from the intelligence community on Trump and Associates shady dealings and Moscow's social media intervention because he thought it would actually backfire as a campaign ploy. When Hillary Clinton wondered aloud in the debates why Putin would prefer Donald Trump, it was a very good question that has since been answered: Trump had Putin's back from Day One, and steered America to the anti-NATO position Putin could barely dream of. Do you honestly think Putin doesn't care which President he gets to play with? As for that Steele Dossier? Yeah, that was good campaign fodder because it was so salacious. While you like to remember it being disproven, take away some of that salacious stuff, and it mostly bolstered the case that Trump was balls deep in Russia and Putin had every intention of helping him win the Presidency. Fun fact: the dossier was originally funded by never-Trump Republicans, including a Marco Rubio supporter. Regardless of party affiliation, anyone with a brain could see Trump was a national security disaster waiting to happen. Several key allegations made in June 2016 about the Russian government's efforts to get Trump elected were later described as "prescient"[7] because they were corroborated six months later in the January 2017 report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence[8][9] and the Mueller Report, namely that Vladimir Putin favored Trump over Hillary Clinton;[8][10] that he personally ordered an "influence campaign" to harm Clinton's campaign and to "undermine public faith in the US democratic process"; that he ordered cyberattacks on both parties;[8] and that many Trump campaign officials and associates had numerous secretive contacts with Russian officials and agents.[11][12] While Steele's documents played a significant role in initially highlighting the general friendliness between Trump and the Putin administration, the veracity of specific allegations is highly variable. Some have been publicly confirmed,[9][13][8][10] others are plausible but not specifically confirmed,[14][15] and some are dubious in retrospect but not strictly disproven.[16][17][18] In summary: collusion is a serious charge BECAUSE of its potential for letting a foreign government exert undue influence on U.S. affairs. In 2024 America, 8 years removed from the Steele Dossier, the Republican Party and its media mouthpieces have taken their lead from standard-bearer Donald Trump, following an untraditional path of Russian appeasement, NATO bashing, and increasingly Zelensky bashing, while potential Trump VP candidate and major GOP influencer Tucker Carlson travels to Russia, gives Putin a blatant propaganda platform, and literally celebrates the glory of modern Russia while admonishing the U.S. as the lesser country. Un-fcking-believable. This is the s#!t Jane Fonda was roasted for. So yes, the GOP has a Russia problem. But like I said.....take Russia off the table completely and there are still tons of rock solid reasons to fear a Trump presidency. Just knowing you plant to write-in Ron DeSantis gives me hope for the future.

Ok, so you’re saying we should stop believing people who told us that Joe was involved with Hunter in business to profit from corruption and that he had the Ukrainian prosecutor fired to cover it up? OK.

It’s also quite interesting that this story is sooooo huge that someone wouldn’t even be able to find it on the most liberal news media like MSNBC or CNN or CBSNews

NCAA desperately looking for a reason to exist at this point...

My fellow Christians have a persecution complex. Nothing he said was offensive. God created genitals. Zrod was talking about religion, and then replied to TGH’s post where he was talking about the Bible, so therefore he mentioned the versions of the Bible. Makes sense.

Unique if not effective way of saying : "Read your Bible & apply it before you open your mouth!"

I figured this was going to happen. https://www.foxnews.com/media/indiana-parents-warn-nation-after-child-removed-home-improper-pronoun-usage-can-happen-anywhere Becket is pursuing the case on behalf of the Coxes, arguing state courts allowed Indiana to keep the child from living in his parents' home due to their disagreement with the child's gender identity because of their religious beliefs. Notably, upon completing the investigation, the state determined the allegations of abuse against Mary and Jeremy were unsubstantiated, but still argued that the disagreement over gender identity was distressing to their child.
