This one just popped up on a friends timeline ... wonder if he wishes he could change this posting?

I know! Maybe it's Bizarro Trump? It's posted on FB and Twitter. And here I was excited thinking that he had his passwords back tonight and that we might be in for some fun.

Very cool idea dude!

Oh the irony! This is my pledge to the American people: as your President I will be your greatest champion. I will fight to ensure that every American is treated equally, protected equally, and honored equally. We will reject bigotry and hatred and oppression in all its forms, and seek a new future built on our common culture and values as one American people. -Donald J. Trump

Somehow he found the one that looks favorable to him - I wonder if anyone on his campaign has the heart to show him all the rest that are legit:

An open letter penned to the RNC and signed by more than 100 current and past republicans: https://www.scribd.com/document/321380562/RNC-Open-Letter#from_embed?keyword=4417&content=10079&ad_group=Online+Tracking+Link&campaign=Skimbit%2C+Ltd.&source=impactradius&medium=affiliate&irgwc=1

Nice...if you find the, can you post some of the tweets on here? http://usatodayhss.com/2016/nebraska-recruits-support-keith-williams-following-wr-coachs-arrest#sthash.KCuJhK5H.uxfs&st_refDomain=t.co&st_refQuery=/v4Nvc0RFvw Uggggg "wearing wristbands from multiple downtown bars". Hadn't heard that.

Can anybody tell me where we're at as far as coaches contacting recruits proactively? Like can Mike and others be doing damage control with our current class and pending recruits?

So I'm wondering if there's been any information shared about his visit? Kid's quiet on Twitter and I didn't seen any articles about it on 247 or other sites. Sadly overshadowed by Williams arrest, but I'd love to know take aways.

I dont know of any actual reports, but I heard on 1620 he was out with Joseph Lewis coaches recruting. So, if this is true, there's something I have been trying to hash out and grasp. If his duty was to go out and "recruit the coaches," which in many organizations is taking them out for drinks, is there a point where this falls on the university/organization for putting their employee in the middle of this? I'm not implying that the university controls his method of transportation or whether he gets behind the wheel and drives drunk, but focusing on the systemic nature of wooing coaches. I would have to think the university/organization/Riley takes a look at the position they put their employee in, knowing he had a past that includes abuse. Anybody have an experience or HR grasp on this? That is a point the guys on 1620 were talking about also. I think their exact words were he was out busting his ass in recruiting for the university. Why does it matter if the high school coaches paid for anything? That's not the way improper benefits works... Actually, it's a delicate issue that has been playing out in the 7-7 leagues more than HS themselves. It's a matter of a HS coach becoming a "street agent" who is "representing the player" and therefore, if he receives benefits, he renders the player ineligible. It's basically an unenforceable rule, but it's still an infraction - or would be considered one if the NCAA drew a quid pro quo line between benefits to HS coaches and the landing of HS recruits. Again, the risk factor is very very low because the NCAA often can't even build a case in the event of direct benefits, but it's still a potential violation and should be dealt with delicately. EDIT: I just realized you mean what if the HS coach paid for a recruit's travel. If the coach was then "paid back" in the form of food, drink and entertainment, that's a definite violation. Speaking as an employee in an industry that is highly regulated, but where wining & dining is part of the gig, depending on guidelines (which I don't pretend to know for the NCAA) you could go out and do whatever (dinner, boozing etc) as long as each coach paid his own way. Just buddies hanging out, not someone trying to influence someone by wooing them with food and drink.

It did? I don't seem to remember hearing about them. Then that's a matter of you not being dialed in, not that it wasn't out there. The actual incident supposedly happened in 1978, and she did an interview in 98' I think that was when it got a lot of press.

He said, "I like charts" "It takes big hands to hold charts". NOT KIDDING.

Yeah the one I saw was from a USC guy saying, "your coach is gone at NE you better bail now it's all going down"

They've already deleted the tweets they sent in poor taste. Key Sr must have scared them.

He said that? Haven't seen anything.

As I've said before, both are terrible candidates and we are faced with bad choices. I am not happy with the current trajectory in this country, as most Americans feel the same with nearly 70% claiming the US is on the wrong track. With Hillary, we would be getting more of the same, but likely worse as she has the corruption to go along with the failed policies of the past 7 years, especially when it comes to ISIS and foreign policy. With Trump, he's a wildcard, and he's obnoxious and says a lot of crazy things to get attention, but we really don't know how he would govern. So yes, there is a risk there, but given the 70% wrong track of this country (which I agree with), I am willing to take that risk. Now if the Dems had nominated someone like Jim Webb, I would agree with you that he would be far better than Trump. Hillary, not so much. Or, if Johnson would agree to move down to the VP slot and let Romney lead the Libertarian ticket, I would vote for that in a heartbeat. I would love to see the poll on here add another option with a Romney/Johnson ticket just to see if it changes the results. Both are poor candidates, but it's plain as day that one is definitively worse than the other. No one wants Hillary in office but it's very clear that Trump is grossly unfit for office at any level, let alone POTUS. It's not even a risk with Trump. There is absolutely no way that a Trump presidency would be anything but detrimental to the American people. He needs to be defeated and defeated soundly. If you can't see this then you must be entirely removed from logic. And that is YOUR opinion, and I know a few others on this tiny board we post on. I know just as many non-political individuals that I work with as well as some of my friends that fear Hillary more than Trump as they believe Trump says some of the things he does as part of his TV personality. When you look at Trump's proposals (outside of the Muslim ban), which proposals are you most concerned with? Securing our border? Removing unfair trade deals? Increase the child tax credit? Not starting more wars like Iraq? Calling an entire race of people rapists is because of his TV personality? Calling global warming a hoax created by the Chinese to make US manufacturing non-competitive is part of his TV personality? Having not one clue what is happening in the world and blaming stuff that happened 12 years ago on Obama is part of his TV personality? The man is a complete and utter dipsh*t. There simply is no defending him using reason or logic. Falling asleep at the wheel when requests have been made for a year in Benghazi for additional security is acceptable? And then lying to the families as to why their loves ones were killed is acceptable? How about trashing females who were victimized by her husband's sexual addiction? Or perhaps dodging questions about wiping her server clean ("you mean with a cloth" stated Clinton). You want to make this black and white that one is so much better than the other. Both are terrible candidates, and when given the chance, I would take my chance with Trump over a known failure in Clinton. If you're going to make this about which candidate has more downfalls then it will be Trump every single time. He makes shocking and unconstitutional statements on a near daily basis to the point that it's hardly newsworthy anymore. One candidate absolutely is better than the other. Hillary Clinton has actually held positions that would prepare her for the White House, and if EMAILS is the only thing you can bring up to paint her as a failure then it sounds to me that she wouldn't be nearly as bad as the global disaster we would have on our hands with Trump. Hillary Clinton has held 2 positions. As Senator of New York, she promised to bring 200,000 jobs to upstate New York, and failed to deliver. She also voted in favor of the Iraq war. If she's such a great leader with great judgment, she would have opposed the war back then. Moving on to Secretary of State, nearly everything she touched was a disaster. Lybia, Syria, Iraq, etc... all got worse with her foreign policy, and as I've shown many times before, ISIS was wiped out in 2008 according to Obama's CIA director, and has now grown tremendously. And this isn't even talking about the Benghazi debacle or her email woes. Why on earth should she deserve a promotion when she couldn't handle a Secretary position? And Trump has spewed comments about how successful and rich he is and yet can't back it up. What IS documented is his lack of business success with 4 bankruptcies. He promised thousands of jobs and then bailed. He has CHOSEN to not pay those who have provided him goods and services. Don't care if Hillary missed her promise on jobs - he absolutely harmed peoples livelihood. And continues to do it. He uses labor from outside the US for his staff, and to make his goods. There are over 4000 lawsuits against him (including 190+ related to not paying taxes, or not paying enough taxes). He has admittedly created business to take advantage of the very people that he know attracts as followers (white collar, uneducated men) and is dealing with some of those ramifications as he battles the Trump University cases. Moving on to his documented comments that insult and harass almost every sex, creed, religion and nationality. His lack of understanding of national, international or state side politics, and even more so his lack of desire to even try to learn about it. I can't believe I even bothered to respond to you and this circular conversation. I don't have enough time or energy to continue typing all the evidence of his lack of qualifications or that he's even a good, sane person. I take great comfort in the fact that you seem to be one of few on this board that has refused to open his eyes as to the qualifications of this office and the risk Don presents if he were to get close to occupying it. I see you are good at reading the DNC talking points. Lol. My response earlier was to a claim that because Hillary has held positions in government, she deserves to be POTUS which is a bunch of BS. She had no major accomplishments as Senator, voted for the War, and failed to deliver on her jobs promises. As SOS she had even worse results, and we as a nation are paying for it today. With Trump, I understand that out of the tens of thousands of people he has employed, there are a few cases where he didn't do the right thing and deserves the criticism. With that said, his results of hiring and creating tens of thousands of good paying jobs far outshines the negatives. Meanwhile, in looking at Hillary's resume, the positive results she has delivered nowhere near outweighs the negative outcomes as a result of her leadership. And just how many jobs has HIllary ever created herself. If you took away all the dumb comments Trump has made this campaign, and people were voting on resumes and determining whether to continue the current trajectory we are on in this country, or take a new trajectory, Trump would be winning at this point. However, he has chosen to make this campaign a referendum on him which is the dumbest thing he could have ever done, and because of that, he will likely lose. Of all the 16 GOP candidates who ran for the nomination, he is the one with the least chance of beating Hillary, and I still shake my head that the primary voters put him through. If Rubio, Kasich, Bush, or Fiorina were the nominee, they would be beating Hillary easily at this time. Nope - just have my eyes open. If you read at all it's hard not to stumble upon a list of Trump's past violations and his current predicaments.

“Those who support bigotry and hatred” will not be admitted to the United States, said Trump. “Only those we expect to flourish in this country and to embrace a tolerant American society should be issued visas.”

Nope.

Fair points - I guess we'll have to see if he 'feels the jolt' as you say. I'd think the pure scale of this incident and the ramifications to him, his reputation, his son, his family, the program, Mike Riley who put trust in him and gave him the opportunity of a lifetime, the impact to his current GA's, his current players, the recruits he's been building trust with, their parents, the University of Nebraska and the entire state ... should be a hell of a jolt.

Can speak from experience (long, long ago - and it only took that one instance) that the breathalyzer variance is a real and common issue lawyers can question to get charges lessened. If it was blood tested levels there's not a lot of give, but breath there absolutely is. Let's wait and see what additional info is shared, and what punishment he gets from NE as well as UNL before saying it's an abuse of power and dirty.

Rudy was just being sarcastic.

I'm 100% sure Riley will make that a requirement. I'll also bet that he gets involved in very routine charity work re: dangers of drinking and driving as well as rehab and a stint without pay/coaching privileges.

There's still a lot of the information online if you google ... I'm quite familiar with that case and situation. These are questions for those who seem less versed and more willing to just accept what a prosecutor put out in the press (but never proved up in any formal setting). Sorry - didn't catch the sarcasm in your questions.
