  1. I think the more classic tragedy is for Trump to survive, only to watch those around him fall. Members of his inner circle. Unsuspecting sycophants and administrative commoners brought into proximity. His family, who visibly refused the face masks offered them by the staff at Case Western. Maybe a couple of the elderly millionaires at the recent Trump fundraiser where the President already knew he'd been exposed. I believe this is already happening.
  2. What actually happened was Kim Jong Un faked his fatal condition/imminent death so he could watch his wannabe successors come out of the woodwork and test their loyalty. I believe a couple folks were killed. Say what you will about the little guy, that's some serious bad-a$$ dictatorship.
  3. That's honestly the way I feel, too. Donald Trump needs to live long enough to see everything he cheated his way through come back to bite him.
  4. Thanks to my years on the internet, I've learned that Democrats are the real racists, and the proof is that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican along with any photo you can find of Robert Byrd.
  5. Everything is coming so fast and furious that there's hardly room to digest Melania Trump caught on tape saying "F*** Christmas." As it should be, perhaps. Doesn't bother me at all, as it was a cheap out-of-context troll by some catty opportunist. But my guess is that Jill Biden saying "F*** Christmas" would be the lead story on Fox News.
  6. Yep. He's that simple. Kim Jung Un couldn't believe his good fortune to have Trump as the U.S. President.
  7. Exactly. It would be so easy for Trump to confound his critics, but he can't help himself. I guess we're lucky that he's not sly.
  8. It was a move initiated by Chris Wallace. A surprisingly direct move. Wallace was not partial, nor should he have been. Donald Trump has more to answer for and behaved far more disruptively than Biden. The final minutes of the debate were designed by Wallace to expose Trump: the President won't accept election results if he loses, and he will encourage his supporters, including white supremacists, to police the polls, and possibly send the election to the Supreme Court he just stacked. That was the kill shot, and Joe Biden didn't need to say a thing. I don't think people wanted a breakdown of issues and policy proposals, which tend to be vague and aspirational anyway. Joe brought bullet points to a knife fight. I think many other candidates -- including Joe's choice of Vice-President -- would have confronted Trump better while maintaining their dignity. Biden won, but it still felt more like default to me.
  9. Joe survived the debate , generally avoided the bait., and won by not looking as insane and dangerous as Trump. I don't think he played Trump at all or lured him into any trap that Trump wasn't happy to ignore. Joe had a handful of good moments, but missed so many opportunities to challenge Trump more forcefully rather than fall back on tired platitudes. That face-to-face moment is rare, and I think Biden is lucky Trump let his a$$h@!e flag fly and ended the debate threatening to ignore election results and call out his white supremacist defenders. Chris Wallace actually did a better job of defending Biden than Biden did.
  10. This guy, who is currently President, could not have been more clear about his willingness to gut the middle class to the benefit of the ruling class than what he spelled out in his tax reform bill. He waves a flag and a Bible and hopes you won't read the fine print. So yeah. There's some class warfare going on. What makes you think this guy is on the side of average Americans, who are notorious losers?
  11. Plausible theory from the adult stutterer community. Apparently there are well known triggers for stutterers, even in adulthood when they've generally overcome the condition. Although Trump's behavior wasn't exactly out of character, his aggressiveness, interrupting and repetitive personal attacks would qualify as strategic for someone who wanted to induce stuttering in an opponent, a great way to make him look weak and indecisive, or to conflate into dementia. Who knows. Trump's a s#!theel regardless. And Joe really doesn't know how to fight back.
  12. I remember in-game announcers saying the same thing about Nebraska's refusal to make defensive adjustments. They seemed genuinely mystified and were trying to be diplomatic. Former Huskers tweeted the same thing. Opposing players, too. One quarterback said it was like playing a high school team, the offense felt like it could do whatever it wanted. But for some reason we kept focusing our wrath on Tim Beck.
  13. You don't think the first black president of the Harvard Law Review -- and one of the youngest -- would warrant the ambition and consideration for higher office? Assume you meant "legislator" rather than "legislature." Either way, you're being silly.
  14. I think photos like this claiming that Donald Trump wears a giant diaper to counter chronic incontinence from snorting Adderall, are childish and unnecessary. Stop spreading them around wherever you can!
  15. Answer the question. Joe BIden makes far more money than the average American, and pays far less in taxes. He's tried to hide this for years, but the proof just came out: $750. Do you use it against him?
  16. Okay, you're working to get Trump elected. Someone leaks to you that Joe Biden only paid $750 in taxes. Now he's out there pandering to the common man in swing states. Anything there you'd be willing to run with?
  17. Still.....helluva perfect storm, since no other defense in the long history of the SEC has ever gotten that shredded.
  18. I was at that Missouri Game in 1978. If we won the game, our Orange Bowl berth would be the National Championship Game against Penn State IIRC. Totally hungover from the night before, that whole day was just cold and punishing. Husker's had a letdown for sure, but Missouri had a great quarterback in Bradley (who went on to a successful MLB career) and a good game-plan — a lot like the 1997 scenario. I think they announced the Oklahoma rematch that night. No Husker fan thought Nebraska was going to win that Orange Bowl. I was alive and I was way into Husker football, and Missouri had always been scheduled for last game of the 1978 season, and we all wondered how and why that happened, but I don't remember anyone offering an explanation. Don't know how it would play out in an alternate universe where we played Missouri first, but while the Huskers gave Oklahoma a good game, the Sooners really fumbled that one away. That wishbone always fumbled a lot, but in that first game Oklahoma fumbled NINE TIMES and lost six. They only fumbled once in the Orange Bowl.
  19. All I know is the Speilman passed the eyeball test, game after game, almost literally putting his life on the line on some of those crossing patterns. Go back into the game threads and remember how we marveled what a baller he was. Also, people who evaluate football talent as a profession had Speilman slotted to be drafted in the second round if he'd come out early, in an NFL draft famously loaded with receivers. I really don't see the point in dragging J.D. down, although I know why folks here are doing it. J.D. appears to have had (or is still having) a crisis of conscience with football. I wish him luck.
  20. It's more of an he was an incredible running back kinda thing.
  21. It doesn't really look great for the IRS, either. They are wildly inefficient at best. Speculation is that the whistleblower comes from Trump's own accounting firm, someone who just got sick of this s#!t.
  22. Yeah, he'll definitely go the witch hunt route, but he will not be able to stop himself from defending himself. I believe he already claimed that not paying taxes is what smart businessmen do during the 2016 campaign.
