Bernie has some great ideas. This isn't one of them. This is how you continue to have blue and white collar jobs outsourced.

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.

People like this tweeter are completely missing the point. Literally no one is saying "Trev is a liberal and wants to get away from conservatives". He's arguing with a strawman. It's about leadership style. One governor is trying to micromanage the university and the other governor might allow more autonomy in the state university system. These two people can both be Republicans and it's not contradictory at all. 

For the record, I'm not saying this is definitively WHY Trev left. I'm not even saying that this is true. I'm just saying it's a theory that's valid to speculate about and "Trev is a registered Republican" or "Republicans are also in power in Texas" doesn't disprove that theory.

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.

I think the bigger issue is the millions of Americans that just open up their digital information and lives to the Chinese govt.  But god forbid those people get a vaccination because Bill Gates is going to track their blood sugar levels!

 

There is also people that claim the Chinese are intentionally targeting American kids with certain content to fuel the stupid stuff we see everyday in school.

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

HuffPo: A Shocking Number Of Minnesota Democrats Cast ‘Uncommitted’ Ballots

Nearly 20% of Minnesota Democratic voters opted to vote “uncommitted” in Tuesday’s presidential primary, as efforts gain momentum to send a message to President Joe Biden about his backing of Israel amid the soaring civilian casualties in its war in Gaza.

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. 

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.

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.  

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.

Who could have seen this coming.

 

 

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.

Of course the homer BIG refs controlled the game.

I couldn’t watch or listen, but looking at the box score it looks like Gary, Tominaga, and Wilcher were shooting like a$$. Maybe they were being mauled every time, I don’t know… but maybe Gary should stick to crashing the boards since that’s what he does best.

Only getting worse. Amazing how the past five games, OSU has had total fouls of 25, 16, 20, 23, & 14. Tonight they have 9 with 2 minutes left in the game... frustrating.

Alright, rough night for the Huskers at Ohio State.  Pretty hard to win when the home team gets only 4 fouls per half, and a ton of free throws, but whatever. Let's move on. 

 

Huskers still in a good spot moving forward.  

 

OSU won the boards, had less fouls, and got more free points "free-throws".  Not exactly surprised but honestly that is surprising.

 

Fouls- 

Huskers 21 against them

Ohio State 9 against them

 

Free Throws-

Huskers 7-8

Ohio State 24-28

 

Assists- 

Huskers 16

Ohio State 13

 

Rebounds- 

Huskers 33

Ohio State 44

 

Steals - Huskers had the advantage 7-2

 

3pt shots- Huskers made 2 more than Ohio State

 

It really came down to foul calls and putting a team at the free throw line, plus rebounds.

Good.  Send more.  What's your tax break going to be if we send zero?  What's it going to cost us in the long run to bail out on our allies?   You do realize that GDP is measured over a set period of time right?  So if you're going to say we already sent more than $61 billion you're going to have to also say our GDP has also increased.  That's how they come to a percentage of GDP.

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.

People get married later, divorced sooner and kids are a lot of work and annoying until they hit like 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.

In addition to actual horserace polls, I've in particular given up on opinion polling like this in our current era.

 

The typical American voter is either too disconnected from day to day politics stuff or just generally too damn stupid to accurately decipher what is really going on.

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.
