    The 2020 Presidential Election - Convention & General Election

    in Politics & Religion

    Posted

    I'm not a political person, I say that because I have no interest in a debate.

     

    My prediction is that Hillary will jump into the race soon (by the end of the year). The timing is right with the media tour she has been on recently and I think she is waiting for the heard to thin a bit. Biden keeps having weird slip ups resulting in funny sound bites and he is kind of a creeper. Warren is hated by the bankers and wall street. Popular candidates like Sanders and Yang are ignored by the media or treated as a side show. Harris has terrible body language. The rest don't have much of a shot.

     

    This is just my opinion, no need to question or hammer me because I don't have much to back this up with. It's just from my observations.

     

    Does anyone else think that Hillary will jump in the race? Would that be good or bad for the democrat party?

    BEST CASE SCENARIO
    After some rest and proper rehab of your injury, you recover to regain most or all of your strength and you’re back on the field normal! (This is usually more likely with injuries that are recognized and addressed quickly).

    WORST CASE SCENARIO
    You may have to have surgery to correct the issue and possibly have 4-6 months or more of downtime during recovery after surgery.

    This post is another good example of how the board would benefit by having a new member have, say, 500 posts, before they can start a topic in a thread.

     

    It would serve the board well, IMHO.  

     

    As someone just over 500 I fully support this.

    Maurice Washington Faces Charges

    in Husker Football

    I can't understand why V01 and R01 declined to bring charges against the perpetrators in the video when the detective gave them that opportunity. Yet they want to prosecute S01. Again, they don't want to go after the people who were actually in the video allegedly raping this girl - let that sink in. Something about this is not adding up and its super shady, imo.

     

    This is just a guess and I know this may sound cold but I think they want to go after MW because if they can get a guilty conviction then they can take him to civil court when he is in the NFL for $$$ because of the emotional distress that he caused.

     

    FWIW, I'm not defending what MW did.

    I missed this part but at some point she recovered enough to talk to the local TV station.  https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/University-of-Nebraska-Football-Player-Maurice-Washington-Faces-Revenge-Porn-Child-Porn-Charges-Over-Video-of-Bay-Area-Teen-505666711.html?akmobile=o

    Since the beginning, I've wondered if Mo wasn't a "star football player", would he be in any trouble?

     

    None of this is meant to deflect from what Mo did.

     

    *jibe, BTW

    After reading the report and seeing  this I don't see how MW can be charged with a felony. Seems almost like R01 and V01 are trying to capitalize on #metoo with going after a "star" football player, when the "true criminals" are not being pursued.

    I don't remember where I heard that the team was starting to drug test. Maybe the coaches told the team over the summer that they would begin drug testing in fall camp, giving the guys enough time for the reefer to get out of their system - around 1 month. It could be that their crack down on the weed problem is to issue harsh punishments to set an example.

    Are you sure? I saw a shop selling CBD by Honest Abe's on 27th in Lincoln. I'm not drawing a comparison between what they sell and weed but it seems at least some oil or edibles are probably legal there. And yeah, it surprised me to see that in Nebraska.

    Possession of edibles, or consumable foods, teas or other products containing marijuana or THC concentrate are a Class IV felony in Nebraska, punishable by a maximum sentence of 2 years imprisonment and a maximum fine of $10,000. Even one “pot” brownie may land you charged with a felony.

    But, neither of them were facing a felony and misdemeanor charge for a separate crime. I think we have to be cognizant and realistic about what the law currently says about marijuana in Nebraska, and MW violated that law. Add this into the California case and it's just a big a$$ face palm.

     

    Personally, I don't care if people smoke weed recreationally, but this is a pretty dumb move on MW's part. IMO he has to be better than that given his whole situation.

     

    My comment was made in response to (what seemed like) a majority saying "he's gone" early in this thread. The point I was trying to make was that Morgan and Reed were charged with felony possession, those charges were later dropped and not much punishment (publicly) came of it.

     

    Anything can happen with Washington's charges - plea deals, dropped charges, convictions, etc. and we don't know how its all going to play out. What if his Cali charges are dropped (unlikely, I know) and all he is left with is a paraphernalia charge. Do we still want him kicked off the team? The only thing we can do as a fan base is reserve judgment until this all goes through the court system.

    Lisa Powers, a university spokeswoman, said Tuesday that Spanier remains a tenured faculty member on paid administrative leave.

     

    Quote

    Spanier was convicted for how he and two of his top aides decided to respond to a report from graduate assistant coach Mike McQueary that he had seen Sandusky abusing the boy late on a Friday night in a team shower.

    Spanier has said the abuse of the boy, who has never been conclusively identified, was characterized to him as horseplay.

     

    Spanier and two of his top lieutenants, former athletic director Tim Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz, agreed to notify The Second Mile, the charity for at-risk youth where Sandusky met many of his victims, but not to call police.

     

    Spanier gave his approval to his deputies in an email, warning that "the only downside for us is if the message isn't 'heard' and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it.''
