Frost looks angry on the sideline. I hope he delivers a few nice open handed slaps to the face of our special teams coordinator.

Agreed.

are still the worst in the country. It’s unbelievable how bad we are.

Our soecial teams unit should have to ride a short bus to and from games. This is ridiculous.

WORST....SPECIAL TEAMS....EVER

That was the special teams equivalent of a butt fumble.

After that drive, I think you kick it deep and let the defense go to work.

Great opening drive followed by yet another inexplicable special teams bungle.

They aren't illegals. They can claim asylum or apply for entry just like other immigrants have done. We have a pretty good idea of who they are as they'll go through a lengthy immigration process. So you've basically got no argument in there.

 

And aren't conservatives and Republicans supposed to be all about hard work and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps? Isn't that what walking for months shows? These people should be hailed as amongst the most courageous and determined of any immigrants coming here including most if not all of our own ancestors.

 

But you can't see them as human beings. Typical trumpist thinking. #SAD

We can’t let anyone who shows up here enter the country and have legal status. We would be quickly overwhelmed and cannot effectively assimilate that many people. In addition, the liberal welfare state with its myriad of handouts, makes it far too expensive to support that many people.

We must have borders. We must have immigration laws. We have to control the flow of people coming here and know who they are. 

You’re simply mistaken (or willfully ignorant) about the status quo. These immigrants are being coached to claim asylum. We don’t have the judges to process them in the short window of time the court allows us to hold them. So many are simply released with no processing and told to show up to court later. Many/most simply ignore those orders and remain here illegally.

The irony of you calling it bubble board. When's the last time you considered a differing view point instead of denigrating it? When's the last time you opened your mind and tested your beliefs? It certainly hasn't happened here, and I'm not sure why you keep coming back if you wouldn't consider doing either of those.

 

Now, give your canned response complaining about filthy liberals while dodging any structured arguments.

I consider differing points of view all the time. My views generally are all over the place and I frequently criticize Trump. In fact, I may be the most independent-minded poster here.

Should they not take allegations of sexual misconduct seriously? I wouldn't confirm him either after he threw a temper tantrum in front of the entire nation and let everyone know that he was not an impartial justice.

 

The Republicans said they believe Kavanaugh's accuser as well, what doea that indicate that they believe about Bert, but aren't willing to say in public?

 

Surely you know how politics work during election cycles professor.

Are they credible allegations? Is there anything to support or substantiate them? Are the accusers crazy or politically motivated?

Committee investigators began investigating Ms. Munro-Leighton’s allegations. Given her relatively unique name, Committee investigators were able to use open-source research to locate Ms. Munro-Leighton and determine that she: (1) is a left-wing activist; (2) is decades older than Judge Kavanaugh; and (3) lives in neither the Washington DC area nor California, but in Kentucky.

…

In short, during the Committee’s time-sensitive investigation of allegations against Judge Kavanaugh, Ms. Munro-Leighton submitted a fabricated allegation, which diverted Committee resources. When questioned by Committee investigators she admitted it was false, a “ploy,” and a “tactic.” She was opposed to Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

No, it's not a "both sides" thing.  The reason you see similar stories on the centrist newspapers is because they actually do journalism and use sources and facts and they investigate before they publish and that tends to lead to fairly similar reporting.  If the right did that too then it'd be a both sides thing, but they don't, they throw a bunch of fear-mongering s#!t out there and then push what sticks without concern for evidence, facts or science, instead usually directly opposed to them, and designed to manipulate through fear and outrage.  That's not the same thing.

If you honestly think the left doesn’t do the same thing...ALL THE TIME, then you haven’t been paying attention.

Yep, we better send 5000+ troops to defend against poor, homeless people who can't even afford transportation so they're walking the effing length of Mexico to get here.

 

Hell, if they're willing to walk the length of Mexico to get here, then I'm more supportive of them being US citizens than the majority of the ones simply born here.

They’re illegals, have no fight to be here, and we have no idea who they are. But that’s all trumped by your sympathy.

Typical liberal thinking. #SAD

It's like watching the Red River Shootout and there's a Texas fan constantly bitching about Oklahoma fans, but most of us he's bitching to are USC fans.

 

And no matter how many times we tell him, all he does is continue to bitch about Oklahoma. 

Yeah, you guys are independent outsiders without a dog in the fight. Good comparison.

Maybe because there is nothing they can do about without a majority, maybe because Ford said she wasn't going to pursue it any further, maybe because they'll let Bert show his true colors, maybe because literally none of them called him a gang rapist/ or sexual predator... 

 

 

 

Lame response. They treated the allegations seriously and said they would not confirm him because of them. They raised holy hell when the Republicans voted for him anyway. 

They said they believed Kavanaugh’s accusers...what does that indicate they believe about Kavanaugh? 

And yet now we hear crickets. Their lies to destroy a good man failed. They never believed them at all.

So you guys have gone from being convinced that Trump is a unique and existential threat to the country who was only elected because he conspired with Putin to fix the election and would be gone anyday...to laughing at some bit player marginally related to the whole thing for having his fly down?

That's the entire right's modus operandi, they push a consistent narrative to their flock of things that aren't true, but they repeat enough across their info sphere that they become "true" to their listeners and viewers and once it's taken in as fact it's designed to scare and outrage the hell out of them.  They do that because people that are afraid don't think rationally anymore and are more pliable to their "suggestions".  They use small boiled down descriptions and nicknames for things because they believe (rightly) their voters are too stupid to understand that saying something like "We want to cut your healthcare and retirement benefits and pass the savings onto corporations" and calling it "cutting entitlements" means the same f#&%ing thing, they test the phrasing in their little boiled down descriptions so they generate the maximum possible outrage.

 

They've been doing it for 30 years nationally and there are some real gems like pushing the narrative that second hand smoke isn't harmful or nicotine isn't addictive, coal/oil pollution doesn't cause climate change, and net neutrality is anti competition and bad for the consumer.

 

A true "skeptic" (or whatever fashionable term they are using now to describe their own believing a load of bulls#!t) would notice those are all narratives that benefit their biggest corporate donors.

And Democrats do the same damn thing. But you seem to have missed it. And no one here on Bubble Board would either notice or point it out.

US v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898)

 

 

This sounds far more like the modern equivalent of a green card holder than someone who just wandered across the border illegally and popped out a kid.

Quote

A child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States, by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.

So if the Democrats REALLY think that Kavanaugh is a gang rapist/sexual predator, how come they quit talking about it entirely?

It’s ALMOST like they knew it was complete BS and were willing to go along with it and destroy a good man so long as it could possibly help them politically. And then once it was unsuccessful, they forgot all about it.

I’ve been trying to tell him this for ages. Hating/disliking someone does not require bias. If 99 out of 100 people on Huskerboard think Stalin was an a$$h@!e, it doesn’t mean we need to bring in some people to balance us out.

Stalin killed millions of his own people and millions more from other countries. Trump tweets things you find offensive. So they're identical...good call.

I would hesitate to say, during the election, that 50% LOVED Trump.   I'd venture a guess it was closer to 15% loved Trump, 5% vote Republican no matter what, and roughly 30% hated Clinton.   Of course, this is all my opinion from what I see.  There's not a lot of love for Trump, there's still a lot of hate towards Clinton.   Even now, from those that I know who voted against Clinton, they regret voting for Trump, and wished they would have voted 3rd party.

You’re understating Trump support, which is still around 45% without Clinton in the picture.

Its funny because when Obama was president we had mixed opinions, a lot of the same people you call liberals on this board are conservatives. I guess we all just agree Trump is a terrible president and human being and when the GOP elects a decent president you will see those same people in agreement with republicans most of the time. 

Roughly 50% of the country loves Trump. I count two of us here, out of a few dozen posters, who are even willing to to even listen to him and haven’t decided he’s some combination of Satan and Hitler.

What passes for “discussion” here is pathetic. My guess is there are discussion boards in North Korea that involve more independent thinking.
