Maybe they could add a specialty section of the facility like "The Bo Pelini Rage Room" where you can break s#!t and scream? Could also add the "Scott Frost Margaritaville Bar" for those 21+

1. I don't know about "millions" but for sure tens of thousands have died. None of this had to happen if Russia didn't attack Ukraine. 2. This war only exists because Putin attacked a sovereign nation. A nation which wants to be free, and a democracy. As Americans, we should support democracies everywhere. 3. Freedom has a price. You can pay that price in taxes, supporting democracies abroad, or you can ignore the struggle for democracy beyond our borders and wait until the fascists are at our borders. The latter cost isn't in dollars, it's in blood. Those of us who support freedom would rather spend a few dollars in taxes than a few pints in blood.

Sims seems like a really good dude. Just atrocious here at Nebraska. I wish him well.

This was posted over at another site but since the poster copied it from another board and the author stated anybody can post this anywhere I thought some here might be interested. Enjoy. Great observations from somebody that was at practice since we don't get much of that these days. Should really get your juices flowing. I added a few more paragraph breaks for readability and let the spell checker fix some typos.

Not you Mav but the assertion he is getting hated on is a fallacy.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't be surprised if HH is the starter game 1.

The assertion that Trump or Biden would have handled a close election the same way is ludicrous. If we're talking checks and balances, the cornerstone of American democracy has been the peaceful transfer of power, and Donald Trump is the opposite of that. In addition to not attending the inauguration ceremonies -- unlike disgraced popular vote winner Hillary Clinton and every other defeated candidate-- Trump has spent every waking hour spreading election falsehoods, and hailed his J6 supporters as heroes and martyrs while literally promising pardons and vengeance. Although now that you mention it, maybe Al Gore was a big pu&&y for conceding an extremely close election for the "good of the country." However I feel about abortion, I feel more strongly about Supreme Court candidates assuring Congress they will not seek to overturn Roe v Wade in order to secure their nomination. After which, they will very much seek to overturn Roe v Wade because each Supreme Court nominee was handed to Donald Trump on a short list by the Federalist Society, whose main criteria was the judge's willingness to overturn Roe v Wade. It's always fun to pretend it's simply about states rights. By "popular vote" I did not mean the the national popular vote, but the ability of those controlling the local state house to send their own slate of electors if they don't like the electors chosen by the people. That's been happening. The literal removal of checks and balances. However you want to dance around Donald Trump and Russia and dip back to the Obama administration for strained equivalencies, the emergence of a pro-Russia narrative among conservative media and lawmakers can be traced directly to Donald Trump standing next to Vladimir Putin and telling the world he trusted Putin over the unanimous consensus of America's 17 intelligence agencies. In addition to his attempts to weaken NATO while in office, the former President has a plan to end the war if he returns to the Presidency: just give Russia some land: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/05/trump-ukraine-secret-plan/ However you want to limit the most insane wing of Republican party to Marjorie Taylor-Greene and some ragtag extremists, they have assumed the power to make or break the Speaker of the House -- not exactly nothing. And while you may not want to call them "leadership" or even "the face" of the Republican Party, it's kinda moot if both the face and leadership of the Republican Party is the utterly bats#!t Donald Trump, doling out favoritism to the most bats#!tty loyalist, while the supposed mainstream of the party angrily rejects a Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley lifeboat. Presidential immunity is an interesting dilemma, although I think most of us plebes can understand the lines you can't cross, and that trying an ex-President for his criminal civilian behavior does not threaten national security and the social order in the way trying an acting President might. But maybe if we spend enough time musing about the complexities of Presidential immunity the Supreme Court can postpone any decision that might affect the Presidential candidate who stacked it. Why is it so hard for you to accept that everything you believe is horribly wrong?

• Donald Trump was exonerated and will not be making Putin-friendly decisions in office. • Donald Trump isn't going to fight the results of the 2020 election • And if he does, Donald Trump isn't going to do something crazy, like instigate a violent coup. • And if he does instigate a violent coup, the Republicans will quickly distance themselves from him. The "election hoax" rhetoric will fade to oblivion and the GOP will return to issues-based campaigning. • As they distance themselves from Trump, the GOP will embrace saner alternatives, like Ron DeSantis. • Trump's Supreme Court appointees are reasonable folks who made it clear they're fine with the Roe v Wade precedent. Why are you freaking out? • The Marjorie Taylor Greene wing will not exert any significant influence on the party itself. • What paranoid world do you live in where Donald Trump inserts his daughter-in-law as the RNC chairwoman, and funnels the money to himself? • Our electoral college system held, and only a worrywort would think red state legislatures might take a lesson from 2020 and reengineer the rules to make it easier to overrule the popular vote. • And if they do, it probably won't come into play. Because Biden is going to win so handily over Joe Biden, even MAGA will accept defeat and work together to advance this great country of ours. • We remain a nation of laws. It's not like the Supreme Court is going to look America in the eye and say a President is immune from the laws we citizens must follow. That's a dictatorship, man. • And when the guy I voted for twice promises a scorched earth, day-one dictator second term, he's just kidding to get you libs riled up. What has he ever done to make you think he'll go off the rails and take as many people as possible with him?

They are? Meanwhile, Democrats have condemned these actions and fought to pass an aid package to Israel. Meanwhile, Neo-Nazis are Republicans.

This is a good summary so far

JFC, that IS an NSideScoop!

That is absolutely mind blowing, how is it even possible to turn the ball over on 1/5th of your offensive possessions. Makes you really appreciate what the Blackshirts did last season even more.

Funny how our right-wing poster friends don't seem bothered by any of this, and rarely, if ever, call it out.

Maybe this guy helped https://huskers.com/sports/football/roster/season/2024/staff/glenn-thomas

N.

Luckily all these GOPers know that voting by mail defaults your vote to Joe Biden. Trust me, there isn't a grift stupid enough for these people. I mean, my God, some voted for Trump twice. Can you believe that?!

Making Archy Get Absurd?

I am new to this site. I have always been a fan of college football, Nebraska at the top of my list. I have a bucket list of campuses/stadiums to visit. I am interested in the UCLA game Nov 2nd. As a Massachusetts native, but "MassHuskerviller", what tips can you give me? suggested sections in Memorial Stadium hotels in Lincoln anything else I have plenty of red to wear. Thanks. Go Big Red.

He already has too many receipts to keep track of.

I'm curious why everyone is willing to throw NPR into the trash heap of biased journalism based on one person's statement. How much vetting has been done on Berliner's allegations? Here's one thread about that. These are just the first few posts. It's a long thread. Berliner does regurgitate Republican talking points that we keep seeing right here on HuskerBoard from everyone's favorite goalpost-mover. Why does someone who's apparently willing to fudge facts get so much up-front credibility?

This is a horrible problem that college sports has to get a handle on.

No

Not this again. Senate Russia report proves Trump collusion was very real. But do voters care? The Senate Intelligence Committee should be applauded for releasing the fifth and final volume of its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. With over 200 witness interviews and roughly 1 million documents reviewed, the nearly 1,000-page report documents in detail the comprehensive campaign conducted by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his proxies to seek influence within President Donald Trump's campaign, help Trump win the 2016 presidential election and amplify polarization and division within American society. Far from a hoax, as the president so often claimed, the report reveals how the Trump campaign willingly engaged with Russian operatives implementing the influence effort. For instance, the report exposes interactions and information exchanged between Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik and then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. According to the report, campaign figures “presented attractive targets for foreign influence, creating notable counterintelligence vulnerabilities.” (Manafort was later convicted of tax and bank fraud.) Concluding one of the highest-profile congressional investigations in recent memory, the report also uncovers abuses within the U.S. government’s investigation of this operation. These methods require review and reform. The bipartisan tone of the majority of the report, released by a committee chaired by Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, should be welcomed by all Americans who want our elected leaders to protect American sovereignty. National security should never be a partisan issue. Trump was not exonerated by my report, Robert Mueller tells Congress Mr Mueller said he had not exonerated Mr Trump of obstruction of justice. The former FBI director spent two years probing alleged collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia, but did not establish collusion in a crime. He concluded that Russia had interfered in the election with the intention of benefiting Mr Trump's campaign. The questions focused largely on Mr Mueller's investigation of President Trump and his decision to say he could not exonerate the president of obstruction of justice, but Mr Mueller repeatedly stressed the importance of concerns over ongoing Russian interference in US democracy. "Over the course of my career I have seen a number of challenges to our democracy. The Russian government's effort to interfere in our election is among the most serious," he said. He added: "Much more needs to be done in order to protect against this intrusion, by the Russians but others as well."

um...

If your “movement” or “cause” ranges from casual indifference to full throated enthusiasm for such heinously hateful imagery and messaging, it’s pretty difficult to take anything after that terribly seriously. It’s difficult to believe that these “protestors” are “sincere” or “have their heart in the right place.”

Not only that but it makes it harder for doctors to do their job and parents/mothers to grieve when an actual abortion is necessary. Based on what Archy wants here he's obviously never had to go through the pain of experiencing an abortion with his partner or someone close to him. Instead he makes up $%^& that literally doesn't happen the way he thinks it happens. He wants to be political while other people just want to live their life (who actually affects) without getting punished for things they can't control.

I'd be willing to bet money most of these kids have no idea that Hamas doesn't believe that Israel has a right to exist, that Hamas has declined the opportunity for the creation of a Palestinian state, or any number of things. All of this does not excuse Israel for conducting a poorly thought through and unnecessarily violent war. If there's ever a time to not care about either side in a conflict, it's one where neither side is interested in actual political resolutions to the underlying causes.

“It used to be you would go home at the end of the day, most people would go, ‘Oh, 'Cheers' is on,” he told the publication. “‘Oh, 'M.A.S.H.' is on, oh, 'Mary Tyler Moore' is on. ... You just expected, there’ll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight. Well, guess what? Where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and PC crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people." https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/jerry-seinfeld-comments-extreme-left-pc-crap-response-rcna150008

In what way is this OK? Truly baffled by this statement. Ukraine is a sovereign nation who wants to live in a democracy. Russia is a puppet state ruled by an autocrat. In what context should Americans, who love democracy and freedom, not want to give a democracy our full support against autocracy?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2024/04/17/deion-sanders-matt-rhule-colorado-nebraska-football-recruiting-visits/73328679007/ The reporter was really slick and tried to get Coach Rhule to say something negative about Deion and his recruiting practices. Rhule didn't take the bait.

IDK, the checks and balances have been pretty darned insufficient here the last few years. If they were working properly, DJT could not and would not be a viable presidential candidate. Obviously there are some flaws or something is broken.

Just don’t tell anyone about the little person that I paid to beat you up with that sock full of used butt plugs like you requested at the hotel.

Seems kinda underwhelming after getting the #1 QB in the country the class before? Who knows I guess. Maybe they all turn out to be first day draft picks.

Within the next two-three weeks, expect some predictions and crystal balls for Neb.

They might go with one of the other 3 guys in the qb room.

And at Colorado, he has no clue who his coach is going to be or any of his teammates. Heck, he might be the only HS recruit in the class.

Who TF thinks it’s funny (laughing emoji) that US politicians have sided with Putin and are doing his bidding? Or maybe you’re just stupid and refuse to believe it in the face of overwhelming and unquestionable evidence. There are only two choices here. 1) you are amazingly stupid and don’t deserve an opinion or 2) you are also a traitor to the US and deserve the fate of a traitor. Well and a 3rd option I guess, both.

https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-gop-is-the-party-of-putin?r=2jt0v&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web “RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA HAS MADE ITS WAY into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base.” That acknowledgement from Michael McCaul, Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was echoed a few days later by Michael Turner, the chairman of the Intelligence Committee. “It is absolutely true, we see, directly coming from Russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor.” Among the falsehoods that GOP members of Congress are repeating is the notion that the Ukraine war is actually a battle between NATO and Russia. “Of course it is not,” Turner told CNN. “To the extent that this propaganda takes hold, it makes it more difficult for us to really see this as an authoritarian versus democracy battle.” "Recall that when Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Trump’s initial response was that it was a “genius” move. I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, “This is genius.” Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine—of Ukraine—Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. He used the word “independent” and “we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.” You gotta say that’s pretty savvy. A non-sociopath would say it was raw aggression of the worst kind. A normal Republican of the pre-Trump mold would have been outraged at the attempted rape of a peaceful, democratic neighbor. Most Republican office holders are not sociopaths, but they take their marching orders from one and have adjusted their consciences accordingly. The talking point J.D. Vance and his ilk favor is that they cannot be concerned about Ukraine’s border when our southern border is also being invaded. Of course it’s absurd to compare immigrants looking for work or safety to tanks, bombs, and missiles, but that’s what passes for Republican reasoning these days. In any case, it was revealed to be hollow when Biden and the Democrats offered an extremely strict border bill to sweeten aid for Ukraine, and the GOP turned it down flat. Russia’s fingerprints are all over the Republicans’ failed attempt to impeach (in all senses of the word) Joe Biden. Their star witness, Alexander Smirnov—who alleged that Hunter and Joe Biden had been paid $5 million in bribes by Burisma—was indicted in February for making false statements. High-ranking Russians appear to be his sources. Putin now wields more power over the GOP than anyone other than Trump. GOP propagandists indulge fictions that even many Russians can see through: Ukraine is governed by Nazis; Russia is a religious, Christian nation; Russia is fighting “wokeness.” Republicans are not so much isolationist as pro-authoritarian. They’ve made Hungary’s Viktor Orbán a pinup and they mouth Russian disinformation without shame. Putin must be pinching himself.

You really don’t understand that issue.

It's about time struggling and even relatively stable citizens start benefitting from taxpayer funded relief the same way the ultra rich and massive corporations do. Interesting editorial from Phil calling the 750k people with 20+ years of repayment the biggest winners, since they're neither the biggest by number of people impacted, amount of money impacted, or amount of income impacted. I'd say the 16 million people having interest waived and the 360,000 significantly poorer folks having a much larger chunk of their financial burden relieved are both bigger winners in different perspectives.

Any word on if we've offered their potential first born children?

Biden is a good choice.

I'd venture to argue that the number of people advocating for genital surgery in minors is drastically smaller than the number of people who, say, are catholic priests raping young boys or are parents/leaders/regular members of any number of denominations of faith who disbelieve the claims of abuse being cried out by their youth in protection of the church, if we're in the comparison game.
