  1. Just goes to show its not what you earn through play, but the stories they can sell that decides who gets in and what the match ups are.
  2. After watching the first half of tonight's game, I hope you are very wrong.
  3. Honestly? Even if this passed, it would result in most working class people have two 32 hour/ week jobs instead of one "40" hour per week job that actually requires 60 hrs of work.
  4. If you bring in Pollard, Hoiberg is walking.
  5. It probably isn't liberal or conservative policy issues that are at play when discussing the "politics" that Trev is leaving behind. Anyone who has tried to work professionally in Lincoln in anything close to a state or university job knows that Lincoln is ran by a bunch of fossilized old hacks who throw temper tantrums, leverage political favors, and meddle in everything in order to get their way even on the most minute of things. When they don't, they are willing to burn the entire operation to the ground out of spite in order to try to enact their agenda.
  6. Yes because having Faux, Musk, Zuckerberg, Cambridge analytica, Sinclair Broadcasting and Lee Enterprises force certain content down kids and society's throats is so much worse. Got forbid anyone think critically and hear different viewpoints than the one the oligarchs want us to hear, read, see
  7. But not to decide who is on their ballots.
  8. Talk to the legislature. They seem keen on running the state and university into the ground.
  9. @Archy1221 @DevoHusker Thanks for recognizing you should have voted Gore.
  10. Again, the vast majority of people who turn out in primaries are the extremists within the party. The people who voted "uncommitted" are so far left there is no way they will vote for Trump. Might they stay home, sure. They might also vote third party, but they are the extremists, so they will more than likely show up in the general and they will break 90 percent or better for Biden. The same percent of Republican primary voters will McConnel it up too. Primary voters are too tied to party identity to vote against the candidate and too self important to stay home. The election will be decided by those who didn't vote in primaries who are so disillusioned with both parties that they refuse to blindly accept one over the other. If Biden wins, it won't be because more people voted FOR Biden it will because those swing voters voted NOT Trump. Trump is either loved or hated, Biden doesn't inspire strong feelings in anyone. IMO Biden wins the popular vote by a landslide, 60%-40% or better, but the electoral college makes it a toss up.
  11. If Liz Cheney was serious at all about doing whatever she can to keep Trump out of the Whitehouse, she needs to launch an independent presidential campaign next week. He11 I might even vote for a Romney Cheney ticket and, I can't believe I'm saying that. It would be worth it, I think to help the more rational Republicans take back the the party from the brainwashed, maga cult.
  12. The two party closed primary system will be the death of this country. Only the extremist of either side vote and we are stuck with wackadoo candidates that get voted through.
  13. At what point does he have to be ruled out due to the extreme number of high profile high stakes law suits he is involved in? How could he possibly serve as president and give it the time and attention necessary to perform the job while he is giving depositions and defending his fraud and SA nearly every day. At what point does the extreme amount of debt he's incurred due to losing said lawsuits create a situation in which he cannot possibly serve without it being a conflict of interest, an outright disregard of the emoluments clause, and the risk of selling the office of the presidency to the highest bidder? And to your point Archy, yes it was a unanimous court decision. Again, the left wing of the court stayed true to its principles, while the right wing did an about face destroying their own precedent they set in Bush v. Gore, in which the conservative majority ruled that the Federal Govt. had no power to tell states what to do in regard to elections, federal or other.
  14. This only further proves that the right is willing to do or say anything to remain in power. Any other issue, the conservatives scream "States Rights!!! States should decide!!!" Even on something so federal as to the BORDER of the United States and how it is policed. Yet, when it comes to TRUMP, suddenly the states have NO power. Cohesiveness of thought, fairness in decision making, and consistency are all lacking so called justices, who will do anything to placate Trump and the right.... And Archy, before you come back with the derp "left wing justices ruled this way too." They rule that way on every federal/state matter, and argue that the states do not have the right to supersede federal law. They are at least consistent in their reasoning.
  15. Maybe this is why Money going on OSU & over. Lines are up to OSU by 3.5 & 145.5

  17. Here is the other thing, most of these packages are in-kind donation of military equipment "valued at". Most of the stuff is equipment that the US was going to snowball anyway, then they would sit in some field somewhere and rust away. Sure we have given them some higher tech stuff, but that hasn't been the majority.
  18. And unaffordable. 6 months ago I read an article that explained it now costs $250,000 to get a child from birth to 18. That's not even through college! With the median household income, WITH BOTH PARENTS WORKING, at $74,000 you have to dedicate 3.4 full years of your earnings to kids. If you have 3 kids, like I do, that's 750,000, just over 10 years worth of paychecks at the U.S. median household income, just to get them to 18. Then you have the college years. Most people I know in their upper 30s are still paying off their own college and will be for the next 8-10 years for a Bachelor Degree. They have kids who are in their early teens and will still be making payments on their loans when their kids enter college. It isn't that people don't want to have kids, the truth is, for most people of childbearing age, having kids is just as much an unattainable goal as owning a house. So I find the handwringing over low birthrates funny. It's the direct result of policy decisions made over the last 30-40 years. Thanks Boomers.
  19. Think about who they poll. They are the incredibly elderly who are just excited to get a phone call so they can talk to someone or deadbeat moochers that don't work. No one below a certain age answers phone calls from numbers they don't know, and most people have to work for a living and can't be home to answer a poll. This is why polls are a waste of time, or at best to be taken as a grain of.salt anymore. No sample is reprentative of the electorate as a whole.
  20. I suspect the shooters were just standing their ground. Parade goers and little kids kept bumping into them, I bet. Gotta have a gun in hand in case a 5 year old stands too close.
  21. I think Tucker planted the explosives, or worked in cahoots with those that did. If Russia is listening. They might want to look into it.
  22. I agree to an extent, one of the downfalls of "what if.. no Callahan" is that he did bring in many recruits that led to some great success. But thinking of Pelinis years here, which of these studs are Callahans. I know Suh, but honestly I'm too lazy to look up the rest Ameer Abdullah, Rex Burkhead, Roy Helu, Niles Paul, Quincy Enunwa, Mike McNeil, Taylor Martinez, Tommy Armstrong, Kenny Bell, De'Mornay Pierson-El, Jordan Westerkamp, Jared Crick, LaVonte David, Will Compton, Larry Asante, Maliek Collins, Randy Gregory, Cethan Carter, Josh Kalu, Stanley Morgan Jr., Josh and Daniel Davis, etc. I totally agree Callahn recruited well and left the most stocked cupboard of any fired Husker coach, but I still think Pelini recruited better than he was given credit for, especially before Perlman, Eichorst and ESPN began to undermine him and assassinate his character for having an ugly upset face. By the end of his tenure, the negative PR certainly created challenges. He also did himself no favors by refusing to recruit Nebraska kids like Nathan Bazata and Drew Ott. But, back to the point, being a first time head coach with full support of the administration, and the shine still on the Nebraska brand, which had certainly began to wear off during the Callahan years, I tend to think his recruiting would be on par, or only slightly worse than Callahan.
  23. For not caring about recruiting, a lot of his recruits sure did well and are still doing so in the NFL. Bo's immediate success with the defense was inspiring. If he stays maybe we keep both Bullocks brothers for another year and have another rock solid defense and lead the nation in interceptions consecutive years. On the flip side, we probably never land Suh. I'm most curious about what the offense would have looked. Would he have stuck with the option and worked to modernize the attack, or still dump it in favor of the spread, or still move toward pro-style? We probably never have to square peg round hole problem at QB, and wouldn't have to suffer through the Zack Lee year, but again probably wouldn't have Suh to wreck offenses either. Another great question is, would Suh be Suh without the player development he recieved under Pelini?
  24. Quick, let's cut their funding and give another tax break to the rich! That fixes every problem.
  25. Mindset of the wealthy. This is why at mega corps when the organization gets caught doing something illegal they get a slap on the wrist and the rank and file pay with their jobs while the CEOs often times see a bonus at the same time. If the Corp has even the slightest bit of integrity and decide on new leadersh former CEO gets a billion dollar parachute and a kush job across the street. A small town clerk can make a simple mistake and do years of time, but a CEO intentionally breaking the law with their business practices never steps foot in a courtroom. The rich think they are above the law no matter what industry it is. For-profit, not for profit, government, its all the same. Laws only apply to the middle class and below.
