    It is something to do...that is why they are there.  It is is a social gathering for them, it is a tailgate.  They drank before or during and/or they smoked before or during (nothing wrong with that)

     

    Go ask 10 girls at a Husker tailgate who the Huskers are playing that day...9/10 won't know and their answers will sound similar to hers.  They are there to be part of a social gathering.  

     

    This is not a "guys are smarter than girls" thing, if anything girls are smarter than guys by a long shot. 

     

    This is just a "they don't even know why they are there" thing.  

     

    You have 3 groups of people there.  

     

    1.  Pro-Pally (Maybe anti-Israel but probably not)

    2.  Pro-Hamas (Anti every other person)

    3.  Social Gatherers

    Pretty much nailed it

    yep...they pushed me and several others here on this board away.   but some here still pretend that the republican party hasn't gone off the deep end

     

     

     

    All that remain in the current incarnation of the GOP are geriatrics glued to Fox News, the gullible trailer-philes that finally found a tribe, paid bots, and Trump sycophants and grifters who will debase themselves for their shot at money and power.  For the later I present one Ben Carson

     

     

  3. Apparently both Hill and Bell with patellar tendon injuries.  From personal experience with 100% rupture that one is a mother to come back from.

    "Rhule did not expand much further on each player's injury, although he said he believed both were to each player's patellar tendon in the right knee, and he later mentioned that "tears were running down their face" in the locker room after getting injured."

    What an absolute mess around Lincoln and Omaha.   What I’m trying to figure out is how many different tornadoes were there?

     

    I have a number of friends on the west side of omaha.  Luckily, I haven’t found any with major damage other than one by Blair that lost some out buildings…their house is still standing though. 

     

    It looked like the entire area was a giant super cell with vortices coming down all over the place.  This gives a pretty good indication of the numbers.  A lot.

     

    Today might be even worse especially the through Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.  Nebraska isn't out of the woods yet.

    False electors can be arrested and imprisoned. They are not federal officers.

     

    Federal officers can absolutely be charged in the conspiracy.  Trump's not out of the woods yet in the example of Arizona.  The prosecutor may have several reasons for not charging yet, one being that he may be using the chargers against the other co-conspirators to flip on Trump.

    No president has ever called the military to back his coup, but you're talking hypotheticals too...

     

    You're putting it past Trump to do that especially if he doesn't have sane people around him?  That's some pretty thin ice for democracy to skate on especially if the court rules in his favor on immunity.  He'll be even more emboldened next time without the possibility of any consequences.  How about another hypothetical.  One which really isn't hypothetical since his minions are tits deeps in it in Arizona.  What about a president and his allies putting forth a slate of false electors?

    well.....Nixon tried to say that.

     He did but that didn't work out so well. 

     

    In fact this court is going to have to once again ignore precedent if it decides to grant wide ranging immunity. Precedent set from the Nixon example. 

     

    https://www.justsecurity.org/44264/supreme-court-justices-president-indicted/

     

    “The dissents are wide of the mark to the extent that they imply that the Court today recognizes sweeping immunity for a President for all acts. The Court does no such thing. The immunity is limited to civil damages claims. Moreover, a President, like Members of Congress, judges, prosecutors, or congressional aides — all having absolute immunity — are not immune for acts outside official duties. Ante at 457 U. S. 753-755. Even the broad immunity of the Speech and Debate Clause has its limits.[fn3]”

    [fn3] “In United States v. Brewster, 408 U. S. 501 (1972), we held that the Speech and Debate Clause does not prohibit prosecution of a Senator for accepting a bribe designed to influence his legislative acts.”. -  Justice Burger

    “But there is no contention that the President is immune from criminal prosecution in the courts under the criminal laws enacted by Congress, or by the States, for that matter. Nor would such a claim be credible. " - Justice White
