  1. ^ Boy, spend years complaining about fake news. Complain when you don't get fake news. That's the extreme right for ya. Trying to "challenge" Ronna would require Ronna to acquire some common sense. Given that seems unlikely based on the number if years of already trying to do that, you would have better luck pulling a unicorn riding leprechaun out of her rear.

  3. Nope, actually Ron knows how to get things done for the betterment of his citizens when he is in charge. Something Trump had a problem with.

  4. Eh, I think most of the stuff being accused of racism has a legitimate amount of racism. 100% of folks who want to avoid the discussion entirely pretend this is a loony left thing.

  5. Yes they are taking the brunt of the SCOTUS ruling. But everyone forgets that it was the correct ruling. Congress never codified abortion into the system and therefor it should have always been a States Rights issue for each state to decide. It was a correct sound decision unlike the previous SCOTUS decision. Congress is free to make an abortion law and a President sign it. At that point, it no longer is a States Rights issue and all states abide by it. Interesting nugget, not withstanding the fear mongering by the poster you replied to, Trump seems to want to support a 15week(ish) abortion ban with exceptions for life of mother, rape, incest. That is a longer time period than many of the EU countries that our posters want us to so desperately follow, yet someone is going around saying abortion will be criminalized in the early next term.

  6. The thing is, if you are an envirobro and you do ANYTHING at all that hurts the environment, than what you say doesn't matter and you are a phony. Period. For instance, I hate guns and firemen. I will NEVER own a gun or a bullet, I will never go to a gun store or gun show, ever ever...And I will never donate to anything fireman related and I would never use their "help" But envirbros, even here on this site, still hurt the environment every single day. So they really don't care they just love the juice that comes with the talk.

  7. Nope... It's not wrong that I still know the guy is a pathetic piece of s#!t that takes out his political grievances on people who don't agree with him. Someone who shouldn't be anywhere near the Oval Office. But...I get it....you love the guy.

  8. Update new plan .... scrap upper deck . Kinda like OU south expansion "Why are folks so gung ho on not reducing our seating capacity? We can’t even fill the seats we have. I would rather see us lose 8,000-10,000 seats but have it be a better overall experience for those attending" (borrowed HMax member) Ronald Reagan Dannen told Gorbachev Kabourek 'Tear down this wall upper deck!' 87th post ......

  9. The ocean temperature in the North Atlantic has set a record high every day in 2024. And not by small margins. I never said that. What I said was that the planet warming has far surpassed worse case scenarios, predictions made by scientists years ago. No scientific projections predicted ocean temperatures where they are today - hence the meaning of passing even the worst scenarios because that's true. I say that because reactionary politics of people on the right are in large part because of paranoia and fear. Archy1221 and other right wingers deny climate change because denying reality is comforting to them. Because the truth scares them, and they'd have to reconcile support for destructive politics.

  11. How do you know the Earth's climate has changed over billions of years? How do you know that the Earth didn't used to have glaciers? I mean, I knew that, too. I was a geology minor at UNL. Always found it fascinating. The Earth has been through its share of extremes long before humans came along, much less AOC. The reason we know all this about the Earth is because scientists dedicated their lives to studying it. And it's those same scientists who know perfectly well about the Earth's violent past who are tracking the 100%* undeniable fact of global warming, glacial melt, climate change and severe weather increase. These f#&%ers are so smart they took that cold week in Omaha into account. When asked for a reason for this rapid of a change in this particular Earth window, some theorize that the trillions of tons of carbon thrown into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution could easily have that effect. Some point out that volcanoes do the same thing. But the smart ones point out that human industrialization can affect the Earth's climate just like historic eruptions do. One hardly excuses the other. It was the tree huggers at the Pentagon who identified climate change as the worst threat to global stability. Maybe you could take it up with them. In the meantime, under the cloak of socialism, the push to more efficient energy usage turns out to have a strong business innovation, jobs creation, and American intellectual property component. I guess horse manufacturers were threatened by the arrival of the automobile back in the day, but we survived, and somehow managed to live with a lot less horses#!t. * Mathematical probability, not racist.

  17. So since this instance was a focal point of John’s show, one would think he would retroactively pay the city for the lost property taxes John evaded by not matching the true property value better with the assessed value while he owned it. In the interest of fiscal conservatism, which it sounds like you care deeply about, it’s also possible a prosecutor might take a few high profile examples like this and use them as a loss leader (who knows, it’s very possible the prosecutors office comes out ahead in monetary value) while winning some civil verdicts so other wealthy millionaire celebrities not “paying their fair share” may be proactive in the future and get their properties re-assessed thereby bringing in more revenue thereby having a net positive overall. And since we know Governments don’t really care about fiscal conservatism, if nothing else, wealthy millionaire Democrats finally get to pay their fair share of property taxes!

  20. I have never heard of the person before but...I mean, you get to the point where you could, in theory, bring up "any reason" to get people canned. Which of course, we have seen before in history. While I am fine with what they did, it is hard to not see how this can be a slippery slope. What is it next time, they get mad and want someone fired who is for abortion? Again, I am fine with it but later on, if someone gets canned for something YOU agree with, then you have to sort of sit there and eat it.

  21. Yup. pansies. The anchors would have a perfect forum to challenge her if they are so confident. It has to be much more difficult for a lone conservative to join a liberal network. Just ask Megan Kelly how that turned out....although she probably got 10s of millions, out of her short stint.

  23. Yes. But, here's the problem for them. In a well functioning party, the party leadership would, at some point in time, sit back and reevaluate what they are doing and start promoting candidates that appeal to more people. But, what do we have? We have the functioning leader of the party being the most hated politician in America. He has installed his daughter-in-law as the chairman of the party. They are kicking out anyone who questions the dear leader and using the party to fund whatever personally the leader wants. This is not a recipe for the party to get straightened out any time soon.

  25. I mean, I like most of your posts but you are wrong. No one is "denying climate change" we all know the climate will change (it has to) and that the sun will one day die. We are denying living in fear over it. You are living in fear over it. Look at it like this (and before the "That is not a good metaphor" crowd comes in, just know that I don't know what a metaphor or analogy is so it doesn't matter what you say) You drive, right? You are super likely to get into a bad or even fatal accident driving, statistically speaking. We all know this, for the most part the only thing we do about is wear a seatbelt. We still speed, we still cut people off, we don't always signal, we roll through stops, we do all we can to make it through that yellow light, we check out texts. Even though WE KNOW something bad could happen. We are not "Car Accident Deniers" we are normal people that don't live in constant fear.

  27. I have a problem with all taxes, as we all do. But I don't think that is your point. Do you do ANYTHING at all that hurts the environment, anything? I do, my car, my house, some of the stuff I burn in my fire pit. What about you?

  34. That's what worries me. Please please please don't just put lipstick and rouge on the south stands. I really wish they would have just bitten the bullet before north stadium expansion and demo'd the stadium and built anew on that site. I know that would have meant some massive inconvenience for a few years but they could have built something very nice for 500 and we wouldn't have this mess. As it is now, I'd like to see them complete the south as envisioned, then about 10 years down the road tear out the risers on the upper and lower decks in east and west (not at the same time of course) and rebuild them, you could make it all essentially one level and redo everything underneath. By doing this you get the fans in row 1 a bit closer to the sideline and higher up, and you get rid of those god awful obstructed view seats under the upper deck. Essentially the original stadium would be the columns and exterior facade.

  35. If by ghosts, you mean posters on this board, then, well, yes I would agree. That’s actually “not it”. Because you know what happens next. Next time someone the everything is racist bros don’t like uses 100% for something, that crowd then states it a dog whistle. Next thing ya know people need to not use 100% out of respect for the marginalized community. Same s#!t happened with the okay hand symbol.

  36. A couple things to think about IMO. The version from Trev already reduced the capacity 7k (some due to chairbacks in the rest of the stadium I'm sure). So scaling it back to what hooked posted likely takes another 10k off here I would guess, The other thing to note is that 450 had a lot of other improvements outside south stadium. I say do south stadium and then take care of all that other stuff a little farther down the line. As for the Longwhorns, much different project scope and some years ago. Things aren't what they used to be cost wise. that 150 million yesterday is probably 225 or more today.

  39. This is too rich and quite funny. https://nypost.com/2024/03/27/real-estate/jon-stewart-found-to-have-overvalued-his-nyc-home-by-829/ Records also show that Stewart paid significantly lower property taxes, which were calculated based on that assessor valuation price — precisely what he called Trump out for doing in his Monday monologue. Meanwhile, the New York assessor valuation on Stewart’s former penthouse is the exact same citation method and metric that New York Attorney General Letitia James used to value Trump’s private and personal properties, and then sued him for inflating those assets.

And all the rage farming against him the past few years has turned out to be false. Funny to watch happen in real time.

  43. I've posted about it before but just looked it up again. My farming cousins complain about welfare and freeloaders on FB sometimes. The data on subsidies is available online. One of them has received $360K since 1995 and $60K since 2019. The other has received $270K and $25K.

  44. The worst thing that happened to the Repubs was the reversal of Roe V Wade. It is an issue to run on, but you don't want it to actually happen like this. I told my wife the republicans are now going to lose on this issue. For once, I was right. I am sure there are other issues that parties run on that they don't want to actually change.

No scientific projections predicted ocean temperatures where they are today - hence the meaning of passing even the worst scenarios because that's true. And what has this “worst case scenario” done to us? It’s so bad, no one could have predicted it, yet here we are all nice and tidy. Were we supposed to be heading to super boats with our tickets like in the movie 2012. Now here is where you are wrong again. I don’t deny climate change and never have. What you don’t seem to know is the Earths climate has changed for billions of years. You may also not understand that humans have not been on the planet for billions of years. Funny story but for a long long long long time the Earth didn’t even have glaciers. Then interestingly enough, the glaciers we do have we much much much larger than present day. Not sure how they melted so much when cars aren’t around though Maybe it was the Bear farts.
