People need to stop acting like they give a damn why Manziel was kicked out of the CFL.  The AAF and XFL are going to need butts in the seats and eyes on the screen and Manziel will do that at least in the short term.

Some things I saw regarding this rumor: His girlfriend actually plays softball at Texas, not Nebraska.

But we are talking about his girlfriend that plays soccer at NU.  Not the one that plays softball at Texas.

We’ll see how genuine Sasse is if the House passes a resolution on the emergency and the Senate is forced to vote.

 

I wouldn’t hold my breath that he does the right thing

I sat near Benhart last night at the team state wrestling tournament.  In the words of famous former Huskerboard member, EZ-E, “He looks the part.”

I haven't read Art of the Deal but basing it off how much of a colossal f#&%up he is with negotiations, I imagine the book is just pictures of feces smeared on a wall.

Jim Jordan:  "Michael Cohen is a liar and we can't believe a word he says."

Also Jim Jordan:  "You heard Michael Cohen's testimony.  There was no collusion between the Trump and Russia."

There is certainly a leftist component to it. Not violence, but ideology. 

 

Several people, myself included, were shouted down and roundly criticized for even suggesting there might possibly be a chance that even a little bit of the story wasn't quite adding up. To many you just can not doubt the claim and life experience of a, in this case, black and gay man. In the effort to raise and hear marginalized voices, too many have forsaken common sense and using their brain and just immediately jump on board a claim or a narrative. Same with the Covington Catholic situation. 

I agree with you.  What I was saying is that what Smollett was doing wasn't a leftist thing.  It was a personal thing disguised as a leftist thing.

People who shouted you down, were doing a leftist thing by behaving that way.

Does that make sense?  I'm reading it and think it does but it might not to someone else reading it.

Row-the-boat, Ski-u-mah, go gophers... At the end of every interview is so freaking annoying.

 

I honestly cant stand the guy. I am sure he is a great family guy but his energy and self-righteousness drives me up a wall.

I like his energy when it's energy.  Unfortunately it delves into hyperactivity far too often.  In public anyway.

I don't see where he gets money for it, it seemed like he was playing for sympathy and more face time in front of a camera.  I didn't follow this much, because I don't care about celebrity crap and don't watch TV often, but it really felt like he was really playing it up for sympathy and publicity.  The problem is crazy people like him with schemes like this not only take police resources from actual victims but also make people more likely to disbelieve real victims of hate crimes.  He'll be lumped in with the left because he tried to make it political with the MAGA crap, which gives people something to point to about the left and fake news or fake attacks to draw attention away from actual bad things happening.

 

I hope they throw the book at him.

It has been said he did it because he was unhappy with his salary.  I guess, maybe he thought if he got away with it then it would drive ratings and his popularity which would make him worth more?  It's just a thought.

This Jussie Smollett thing is not a "leftist" thing.  It was a money thing.  Using the right as the villain was an easy thing for him to do.

What is "leftist" is someone like Kamala Harris, as a presidential candidate,  saying that it was a modern day lynching before seeing things through.

Thanks for the clarification.  

 

Again, my quotes of yours above never were altered and I didn't change what you said.

 

So, you don't think rich people should run for President.  Do you have a dollar figure in mind on net worth that is your limit?

I don't believe someone should use their wealth as the starting point for running for president.  I prefer to have my candidates have some sort of experience in political office before they try to hold the most powerful seat in the world.

Where are these millennials that don't want to work?  I keep hearing about them but have not actually met one.  And considering unemployment is very low, how many, exactly, are we talking about?

1 minute ago, BigRedBuster said:

 

Hmmmm....let's see.

 

 

 

 

The bolded quotes aren't just talking about people "running for President."  You are talking about rich people in general.  

 

You still haven't shown where I misquoted you.  I have not doctored any quotes I posted of yours.

YOU are lumping all rich people together.  Not me.  I'm talking about the ones that run for the highest public office with no experience.

If you want to infer that, I can't change your mind.  If you want to start a new thread about what we all think about ALL rich people and ALL rich people in government, go ahead.  

I still stand behind my opinion that Schultz, due to HIS wealth, doesn't have a grasp of the middle class as it is today and that is why I ASSUME people don't trust him or don't like him.  And I don't believe that because of where he grew up 60 years ago has any bearing on him understanding today's problems.

If he wants to prove me wrong, why not run for local office first?

Nothing I've quoted of yours above has been doctored.  

You knew I was speaking directly about wealthy people running for president of the United States with ZERO political experience not understanding the middle class.  Don't say you didn't because that is what this entire thread is about.  Running for president.

I think the disdain people have for Schultz and others is that they have a very different view of what America is like compared to the vast majority of the public.  

 

Trump, for instance, thought his highest ranking generals made $5M/year (It's around $180-$200K)

 

Schultz has no idea what food in a grocery store costs.

 

I'm not saying that makes them bad.  It just makes them appear to be unaware of what the middle class is.  So there is going to be apprehension of trust, disdain, etc

I didn't say ALL rich people.  Like you said I did.   Now tell me again how you quoted me exactly and didn't doctor my quotes.

Thanks for clarifying your negative bias against people simply because of their wealth and no consideration of their life history.

Hey...all I'm saying is that now I know your bias against anyone who is rich no matter anything else about them.

 

Thanks for your honesty.

Well....that's basically what you have said.

 

 

 

Not sure how you could be more clear.

I quoted your exact words.  You specifically stated that a person's net worth tells you that they are ignorant.  Are you needing to clarify more?

You didn't quote anything exact.

@StPaulHusker Let me ask this?  Where is the threshold of when they become ignorant?  Is it at $1,000,000 net worth?  $100,000,000??  Or....do they have to be over a billion?

 

Pelosi is worth $30,000,000.  Is she ignorant to these issues?

Man if you don't see the difference in this...

That's not what I said at all.  Again, whatever helps you feel better.

Just now, BigRedBuster said:

Probably not much.

I disagree

That's pretty disingenuous but if it makes you feel better.
