It's Bidens fault. Without rampant Biden-flation these Patriotic American gun owners would've been able to afford a gun safe. Alas, with rampant Biden inspired crime - mostly caused by Fentanyl laced illegal immigrant criminals - left them no choice but to buy a gun.

Sort of. While the Athletic Department can't really coordinate with NIL cooperatives, they can certainly advise donors that the money they plan on donating to the Athletic Department is better spent elsewhere. And maybe that elsewhere just so happens to be an NIL cooperative. Last fall, for example, Nebraska signed a $300 million dollar media rights deal with Playfly Sports that just so happened to include a $7.5 million dollar signing bonus - presumably where the money came from to fire Frost - and it also had $2.5 million in NIL donations. @Archy1221 has a point that is true: Nebraska would've been much better served to fire Frost two weeks later and put that $7.5m signing bonus into the NIL pool to make it $10 million.

Exactly. Blaming NIL opportunities is a new scapegoat for fans to reconcile why a recruit didn't pick their preferred school. The reality in this particular case is that Nebaska is just not good enough in multiple facets of Football to lure top recruits like him. We're simply not in the same stratosphere as other programs.

Nebraska has great NIL money. It's not at the level of top programs like Tennessee, but Nebraska is in that second tier of teams in the NIL world. What they have thing for them is that our NIL organization is run in a professional manner - in contrast to the amateur NIL dealings of teams like Florida or Auburn. Secondly, Dylan isn't coming to Nebraska because his aspirations are to get to the NFL. It has nothing to do with NIL. He's simply asking himself, if he comes to Nebraska, can we surround him with the talent necessary to get him there? Will the line protect him - unlike the last FOUR Nebraska quarterbacks who've had the misfortune to take snaps behind them? Instead of blaming NIL, just ask yourself: what does Nebraska offer a player of his caliber compared to the competition? What does Georgia offer that Nebraska doesn't? (Hint: a lot)

I think you'll find that the level of debt an economy can sustain is fairly undetermined. What's more, government spending is currently accounting for nearly all of the economic growth in the economy at the moment. Economic outcomes are determined by availability of workers, if the workforce population is growing, and large government spending.

Exactly. Hopefully Matt Rhule was honest with Casey about the direction of the offense. Personally, I don't think they had a choice but to go with Sims over Thompson. The offense won't be able to run the ball without a mobile QB, considering how God awful the line is. Expect Rhules offense in year 1 to be similar to year 3 with Adrian Martinez. The QB is going to be stuck trying to make a play nearly every down because the abysmal line doesn't allow for much else.

Voting for a third party is almost always a bad idea. As stated previously, it absolutely dooms one of the two major political parties. Democrats are more vulnerable to this because their electoral coalition is weaker and prone to fracture. You're also voting for a candidate that won't win a single state. If you want to feel good about yourself because Joe Biden is just so old so you voted for say Joe Manchin as a Third Party candidate, that's fine. But you're the reason Republicans would win such a monumental landslide victory that it would take a decade for Democrats to recover.

My body is beaming with Conservative Patriotic pride. This shows us that we're a real country. Not one of those fake ones like those Liberal European hellscapes.

Japan's economic growth rate has little to do with its debt and has a lot more to do with its rapidly shrinking population.

Japan's debt to GDP ratio is considerably higher than the Untited States. It's certainly possible that the level of spending can stay high, although I'm not an Economist. What I do know is that the Republican party is extraordinarily unserious about reducing debt or setting spending levels because their last 50 years of deficit spending and cutting taxes on the highest earners tell me as much. If they made any serious efforts, I'd be okay with it. But they couldn't be less serious. It's all theater and no substance.

If only the morons who got shot armed themselves with an AR-15, like the Founding Fathers intended, we wouldn't be in this situation. Oh well, sending some T&P until the next one on Monday.

I blame the average voter. If they didn't want to be pushed to the brink of default because they thought having stupid work requirements on SNAP benefits was as important as the debt ceiling, they would've voted differently. If the American people experience economic calamity they deserve it and have only themselves to blame. They voted for their house members presumably knowing that this would happen.

If the Conservative voters of Texas wanted a Senator who believed in the American values of Democracy and Constitutional order, they'd vote for it. The conservative voters of Texas are morons who dislike the American ideals of Democracy and are getting the historical embarrassment of a Senator they deserve. He represents them and the historical record should reflect just how stupid and moronic their choice is.

Voters had that choice in the primary and decided to vote for Biden. I personally voted for a different candidate, but in the context of the 2024 election it makes absolutely no sense for Democrats to move to new leadership. Absolutely agree. I thought she was a pretty mediocre candidate in the primary and she still doesn't really move the needle. I do think, at the end of the day, the problems for Republicans still stay the same. The electorate is voting against Republicans and not for Democrats. Until the GOP moves on from "elections are rigged" and their terrible positions on abortion, they're likely to do worse in 2024 then they otherwise would considering the environment.

DeSantis is going to lose all of zero votes because his voters want this.

No kidding. If there's one thing we can all cross the party lines on here, it's rooting out actual sexual predators. No need to limit it to just Republicans...

Anybody who thought he wouldn't or who thought that a different candidate would fair better doesn't know anything about elections. In no world does a bitter and contested primary and losing the incumbency advantage help Democrats win the Presidency in 2024. Their best strategy is to simply say "hey look Biden fumbles his words but at least he's not that" and point to the crazy ball of Trump/DeDantis/Bobert/MTG/etc.

Republicans won't unveil anything resembling a policy platform - other than typical regressive tax cuts and trying to screw America's poorest and most vulnerable - but they do engage in moronic culture war garbage. To the Republicans on this board - stop rewarding culture war theater with your vote. The current state of the GOP is the fault of voters like you. Fix it.

If anything else encapsulates Republicans and the voters who elect them more, I'd love to see it.

The irony - considering your preferred Presidential candidate - is hilarious.

I never said QB was a low priority on the list. What I said was, pertaining to Nebraska Football, the QB play is not high on the list of problems that need fixing. Considering the Offensive Line, QB play at Nebraska has been pretty decent. Our QBs have made plays while spending the majority of their time running for their lives in the pocket. That doesn't mean Raiola isn't an upgrade - he is - but until we can block for our QBs or develop a running game, there's only so much magic a QB can make while running away from 3 defenders.

According to OpenDorse, Tennessee spent somewhere around $12 million in NIL deals last year. This apparently is the highest known of any program, although that's difficult to verify. My guess would be that $3.5 million would be extremely high for any player. Furthermore, spending what is presumably a high amount for any player - even a QB - probably isn't a good idea for Nebraska. Of all the issues with Nebraska Football, QB play is pretty low on the list. I hope Raiola plays well at Georgia and that he gets himself into the NFL!

The electoral environment is different than a decade ago. The GOP has a greater electoral college advantage with realistic chances of winning Wisconsin, Pennsylvania while simultaneously making former swing states like Iowa, Ohio and Florida reliably Republican. But I genuinely thank Trumpy voters like yourself for setting the GOP on an unrecoverable path because of the abysmal policy/culture war stances they have to take. Since you seem to genuinely not understand that you'd win nominating normal people, the electoral success of Democrats hinges on your continued embrace of bad candidates. Thank you. Is he an election denier? Does he pick fights with children's entertainment companies in order to win over voters in an effort to race-to-the-bottom faster than other candidates? You know me, the less policy and the more culture war nonsense the better!

Obama was an incumbent candidate, it was a tough election for Romney no matter what. The reason I want them to start nominating normal Republicans is so the country is in good hands if they win. I disagree with a guy like Romney in some areas, but he genuinely wants America to be successful and doesn't use his political base as a grifting machine to enrich himself. And if Republicans did nominate Romney, they'd win the electoral college EASILY. Because Republicans have been nominating terrible people, the Republican base thinks elections are fraudulent, that America is a Republic and not a Democracy, that Democrats are groomers, etc.

RDS is currently losing his biggest political battle against a children's entertainment company, I'm not worried. What I want is for Republicans to start nominating people like Mitt Romney again.
