Trump has said a lot of stupid stuff. But, Trump has not declared a national emergency for the "rounding up of liberals" with the intent of making them go away. P.S.: I know this is all a "tongue in cheek" back and forth. I just wanted to show the proper use of the "eye roll".

That would be awesome! Not at all like our founders meant it all to work.... But it would be awesome, and I would love for that President to personally thank Trump and the conservative court for making it all possible But then, after enjoying the current policy of 2021, I would shudder the thoughts of 2025 when it was somehow determined an emergency by the next President to round up "liberals" and make them go away....

I take my kids every year, it's our new tradition. It's too damn expensive to take them to real games; they aren't old enough to really enjoy it all anyway (3rd grade). My wife and 3 kids go for $20.

yes

Disclaimer: I'm not planning on getting into an "abortion argument" here. Just wanted to point out that, even though Walsh is riled up, this is nothing new. New York is not allowing anything in his state today that wasn't allowed in Nebraska yesterday. At least in the articles I've read.

Depending on the intent and methods used in the early delivery, it most definitely can be considered an abortion. That's what "late term" abortions are. And your right, my wife recently has a "20 weeker" that looks like it is going to make it. But there are some pregnancies that can't be ended by vaginal delivery or c-section for whatever reason. But those of course wouldn't involve healthy babies, I don't think... Edit (2/3/19): My wife corrected me on the bolded, it is NOT accurate. She meant it "made" it through the night. After talking to her more this evening, she said any baby born before 25 weeks will most likely demand full medical care and isn't likely capable of normal life. She also mentioned a very unscientific poll between her coworkers that if they were to have a baby at 20 weeks, they would opt to "not resuscitate" because of the impending complications....

This is an abortion by induction. I can't answer the other part because I'm sure it's a case by case thing that I've been lucky enough to not have to deal with. But I find it hard to imagine that a pregnancy that is causing severe health issues for mom would involve a normal healthy baby. Maybe it is more common than we'd think, I don't know.

That would be a good question for my wife. But my understanding is that is what "aborting" a pregnancy is. I think the "problem" arises in keeping the baby in the womb when it is in the best interest for baby and not mom. For example, inducing the delivery of a dead fetus is recorded statistically as an aborted pregnancy.

If anything, this law shows how much shaky ground some states feel Roe v Wade is on. They felt the need to right Roe v Wade (and other decisions) into law so NY women, along with several other states, won't lose access to services.

I woman isn't just deciding to abort her baby at 8 months. It's only if the mother's health is at risk. This is legal in Nebraska too. "Abortion is illegal in Nebraska if the fetus is over 20 weeks post-fertilization (or 22 weeks after the woman’s last period.) They can only be carried out after this stage if the woman’s life is endangered or if her physical health is severely compromised. The rationale for this ruling was testimony that the fetus can feel pain at this point." https://assureomaha.com/abortion-and-nebraska-what-the-law-says

Sounds like Walsh is bring out a little fear mongering. The law is only putting on the books what was termed legal by Roe vs. Wade. The old law was outdated and overruled by the court's previous decision. What New York is "now allowing' was deemed legal when Roe v. Wade was passed. https://www.wvlt.tv/content/news/Late-term-abortions-allowed-in-NY-when-mothers-health-is-at-risk-504774072.html "Known as the Reproductive Health Act, the measure replaces a 1970 state abortion law that was passed three years before Roe legalized abortion nationwide. It codifies many abortion rights laid out in Roe and other court rulings, including a provision permitting late-term abortions when a woman’s health is endangered. The previous law, which was in conflict with Roe and other subsequent abortion rulings, only permitted abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy if a woman’s life was at risk."

Get a job like the rest of us, you mooch!!!!!! I'm sorry I'm no help. I live in Omaha and have insurance through my wife's employer also. Just couldn't resist the stupid Obamacare joke. Truly, best of luck to you and your wife on her venture. And I also hope you find good coverage. It sucks that two self employed people (hard working and earning it everyday) have to worry about such a thing. But here we are....

Judging by writing styles, it's entirely possible

It's amazing that the concept of wearing clothes to represent ideologies can be such a complicated topic.... Sometimes I wonder if people are really trying to make simple things complicated for the sake of argument, or if some people are truly incapable of wading through the nuances of everyday life. Edit: For example, there is a huge difference between a kid wearing a Husker t-shirt in Lincoln, NE and a kid in Somalia wearing a Huskers "2001 National Championship" t-shirt. One of these kids is probably a fan, the other just doesn't want a sunburn. If you can't discern between the two, well that's just sad...

I assumed he did support Castro and Malcolm X. If he really doesn't, then wtf is he wearing that shirt?

Rex, Suh, Ameer, Ganz, Henery

edit: I shouldn't watch the game, type on HB, and do homework at the same time....

I don't know. Reagan was, or very recently, President when most of these interviews took place. Trump has always just been a person who like to complain about things with no realistic strategy on how to fix it. https://www.npr.org/2017/01/20/510680463/donald-trumps-been-saying-the-same-thing-for-30-years Edit: Sorry @B.B. Hemingway I originally misread your post. At first blush, I thought you meant he wanted things to be like they were when Reagan was Pres...

That’s the one I watched too. I think mostly starts around the 1:06:00 mark

I I didn’t think Phillips instigated. I actually think he kept the boys from making a really bad mistake in physically interacting with the Black Israelites.

Man, this is one ugly situation. I don’t blame the boys as much as I did at first, but I don’t think Phillips deserves fault. The group from Covington was getting sucked into confrontation by the Black Israelites. Phillips and his group noticed and entered the group to redirect the students. From there, it’s hard to say about all the individual comments back and forth, except that it was ugly. It also all could have been avoided if chaperones were there to get the kids away from the very small group of Black Israelites.

Right or wrong, NE teachers don't have a choice (as far as I know). I'm required to give and the district matches...Unfortunately there isn't a lot left to invest in other retirement options. Edit: This isn't a "woe is 'underpaid' teacher me!" post. Just the truth that we pay 10% every month. I think many people would be hard-pressed to find more money to save after 10% for retirement, mortgage, all other expenses including college funds for kids. I'm hoping my wifes 401k rocks it and the pension is still there. Could be a pretty cushy retirement!
