Serious allegations and worth looking into. But I gotta admit, I was distracted by the other headlines on the Red State homepage, an Onion-worthy buffet of rightwing revisionist fantasy,

But voters might have said "oh" and that's what the 2020 impeachment hearings were about.

If he's in his second term with a Republican Senate it won't matter a whit. Democrats really screwed up the first time. They treated it like a legal case and Ukraine as provable treason. It's not a legal case, with no legal burden. You just need to establish why the man is unfit for the office. Here's how I would have proceeded with my Impeachment Hearings: DAY ONE: Donald Trump is a Security Risk. This would feature an impressive stable of military and intelligence leaders, including some of Trump's own appointees, detailing the President's lack of discretion, classified security leaks, refusal to read briefings, and business connections to unsavory foreign operatives. Putin and Ukraine would merely be a subset. Undeniable conclusion: he's an ignorant braggart and loose cannon in charge of America's arsenal. DAY TWO: Donald Trump and the Emoluments Clause. Is the President and his extended family privately profiting from his Presidency? Undeniable conclusion: Yes. All over the place. In clear examples that would gall any taxpayer. DAY THREE: Donald Trump and American Civics. Is the President dismantling America's system of checks and balances to protect his power, or simply out of spite? Americans haven't really been walked through this. Undeniable conclusion: the Founder Fathers did what they did to protect America from Donald Trump. DAY FOUR: Donald Trump's People: From Bob Barr, to Betsy DeVos, to judicial appointments who never tried a legal case, Donald Trump has brought in people wildly unqualified for the job, and/or an agenda to undermine the agency they head up. His attrition rate is disturbing. Appointees who left are trying to warn us about him. Appointees still in the job command little respect. Undeniable conclusion: the very cornerstones of America are being run by people based on their loyalty to Trump, tested by their willingness to subvert public will and established regulation to serve the President's personal interests. Add up one through four and you have the worst man for America, at the worst possible time. (If I had a Day Five I'd just have someone read the man's most ludicrous tweets into the record)

Don't know how I missed the previous rounds, but if it's not Pink Floyd I"m taking my bong and my Koss headphones and going home.

A buddy's son just started his freshman year at Boulder four weeks ago. His roommate already dropped out, his RA went AWOL, and the University just warned them it might drop a 14 day SIP for everybody any second now. The kid and some friends are now preparing to rent a house in Durango, although it's not clear if my buddy is supposed to continue paying Room & Board for this s#!tshow.

You owe it to yourself to watch some of the Sayers highlight films on YouTube. My son got big into the NFL playing Madden, and was always asking who was this greatest this or that. When it came to running backs, I told him Gale Sayers was the most talented, the most fun to watch. We watched clips together and he didn't disagree.

btw...today there were 315,000 new COVID-19 cases across 165 different countries and 6,333 new deaths worldwide, including new surges in France, Spain, and The Netherlands, and more bad numbers for India, Mexico and most of South America. The U.S. posted yet another 1,000+ death day today, maintaining COVID-19 as the #3 cause of death in the United States. I think we can play football and get back to work and stuff, but we don't have to parrot gibberish we read on some backwater conspiracy website.

Good sports journalists still do good sports journalism. I think it was Sports Illustrated that published that very long and detailed article last year that shadowed Scott Frost for weeks as he embarked on his second season. Told me thinks about Scott I never knew, didn't shy away from the problems we discuss in here daily, honored the Husker legacy and explained it well to outsiders.

Apparently people are disagreeing on the Presidential candidates, too.

Imagine four soldiers dying in defense of an American embassy harboring a CIA operation, in one of the most dangerous cities in the world, in a country the U.S. was actively trying to destabilize.

The glamour!

You write good posts.

I was catching up on the thread and your post is where I decided to stop and comment, based on your previous posts and others that shared the sentiment. We both been around awhile, and I'm aware that you tend to discredit national sports writers & broadcasters who criticize Husker football, and counsel posters not to reward the "clickbait." I'm inclined to disagree. btw....t's not weird to let a few hours go by in the monitoring of HuskerBoard threads.

From your posts I presumed you thought Forde was a hack with an anti-Husker agenda and we shouldn't give into his clickbait.

Conversely, it's not Pat Forde's job to make a fanbase feel good about itself. They get paid to come up with sports stories that are better written and researched than the average fanboard post, and that's what he did. Nebraska fans have a persecution complex, and at some point it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Forde really had the knives out for this one and went for the deep snark, but he's not exactly wrong. And remember....these guys get emails. s#!tloads of emails. And they typically aren't from the thoughtful and pleasant folk posting here.

Well the entire world could have minimized financial losses by not shutting business down due to the coronavirus. Or they could prolong the damage of the coronavirus to the economy by re-opening too early. It's not an easy call, and the entire world is struggling with it. According to the status quo, a disease that didn't exist a year ago is currently the #3 cause of death in the United States. Be happy that we have our college football and let's worry about the bottom line finances a bit later.

You're a lawyer. Take five minutes -- or a quick 30 seconds -- and see if you can walk through a logical, defensible and possibly contractual scenario.

How about this one? The ad the appears at the bottom center and sticks up and covers up the posts. It shows an X in the upper right hand corner, but surprise --- it's not active. You can't delete it. It's bad on my laptop and renders my mobile experience useless. I now hate every advertiser on this site.

Nebraska vs. Oklahoma Thanksgiving Day 1971. I was one happy 12 year old. For me, Tom Osborne was always "the new guy" Now get off my f#&%ing lawn.

I was, of course, kidding. Trump will carry the state handily, which merely makes me ponder the self-selecting nature of the HuskerBoard P&R Forum. How about if everyone currently residing outside the state raises their hand. I'll go first:

I guess my point is that the thoughtful and well supported opinions in HuskerBoard P&R do not reflect the larger Nebraska mindset.

It's also telling that a California kid who disgraced his team wants to stay in Lincoln, Nebraska. That's actually a positive for UNL football.

If there's excitement for Biden, it's imagining Joe taking the Trump appointments down one by one and replacing them with competent people.

So if I'm reading this poll correctly, the overwhelmingly strong support for Biden is going to turn Nebraska solid blue in a few weeks.

There has to be some savvy to Trump, because he charted his own course, ignored conventional wisdom, and basically spanked both the Republican and Democrat parties. On the other hand, he's not even an a$$-kicker in his own chosen world. The Bloomberg's of the world aren't his peers -- they think he's a terrible businessman and a clown. He had to continually get bailed out: by his dad, then the Russian banks, then by Mark Burnett who created the character people ended up voting for: the host of Celebrity Apprentice. Jesus, the man got played by Kim Jon Un. Maybe by "street smarts" we mean the ability to make the common man so angry at elites and minorities that they don't notice it's actually Trump picking their pocket. As a street level con-man he's too clumsy and would have been arrested long ago. If he were a real-world mob boss, his body would have been dumped in the East River in the 1980s. But somehow in the political realm in this particular moment in time, Trump's "smarts" work like street crack.
