  1. I'm open to give him a chance too, but between Bannon and continuing to rail against the media on twitter, new Trump still looks like old Trump.
  2. Did we really learn anything new? I didn't. Take away the OSU game, this game followed the script of every game this year.
  3. You forgot "white nationalist" in your discription.
  4. He hired Steve Bannon as his Cheif Strategist.
  5. Reince Cheif of Staff. But Banning Cheif Strategist. God help us all...
  6. This guy is a former McCain strategist and current Kasich strategist:
  7. Keep that trophy in Lincoln!!!!!!

  8. Diversity. And his kids are helping to shape policy. Smh
  9. Trump really isn't interested in the job of being president. He is just interested in the title of president.
  10. Which is weird, because it's a 6:30pm game... I would assume he plays Friday night. He could leave Denver at 8am (not ungodly early) and be to Lincoln by 3. Assuming he wins this week, it will only be harder next Saturday. Why wouldn't he fly? He could leave Denver by noon and be in Lincoln by 3. Is this not an official visit? It is, but he'd have to come through Omaha, right? Could be a hassle. There are 2 or 3 flights a day between Denver and Lincoln.
  11. I was hoping this thread would start a good discussion on this topic. I may (or may not) know a thing or 2 about it. Lot of good posts so far. First thing I tell everybody, the ACA's biggest problem was that the word AFFORDABLE is in it. There is noting affordable about healthcare. Its expensive. It sucks, but thats the way it is. Fixing the cost of healthcare isn't just an insurance problem. You have to work with the docs, hospitals, tech companies, drug companies, etc. Problem is there is a large segment of the population that is used to the 80s and 90s when a) companies paid a lot more of the share of premium than they do now and b) benefit plans were made so that it would only cost a $5 copay for an office visit, $10 for a ER visit, and $100 for an inpatient stay. Second, "selling across state lines" is total political BS blustering that means nothing. You live in NJ and want to buy a BCBS Nebraska plan because it is cheap? Then go right ahead, but all of your in-network doctors are in Nebraska. And if BCBS Nebraska were to start selling in NJ, then it would cost just as much (if not more) as your local plans because they would have to negotiate a network in NJ. I will add in more thoughts throughout the day as I have more time...
  12. Now that Sheriff Joe Arpaio is out of a job, his name is being floated for the Secretary of Homeland Security. You can't make this stuff up...
  13. Nah, he needs to keep it around so we can see the meltdowns in real time.
  14. A simple google shows things did happen in Nov 2008. Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars. Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America. From California to Maine, police have documented a range of alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack. Insults and taunts have been delivered by adults, college students and second-graders. There have been "hundreds" of incidents since the election, many more than usual, said Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate crimes.
  15. A kinder, gentler Trump. He didn't call the protesters "losers"
  16. Won't have to worry about gays being shoved down throats anymore. We'll just change them to straight.
