    Fifteen four- and five-star recruits disclosed to 247Sports either exactly what they’ll receive or around what they’ll earn at their school of choice.

     

    They are HS recruits, not being paid while in high school.  As opposed to transfers from colleges. 

    Same still goes to the rich people “buying” college kids.  
     

    But, I’m glad some some of them cheer for Nebraska…

    I'll be honest, it was a long read and to save the last vestiges of what few functioning neurons I have remaining, I avoid 'sources' on Twitter named anything along the lines of "America First XYZ". You should too.

     

    My advice to you is to recognize that this bill is imperfect - anything short of major immigration reform would be - but to simultaneously understand that you're never going to get 60 Senators to agree on a different bill. If you truly believe that Donald Trump will be able to get 60 votes on something next year, by all means, continue to be anger farmed by the MAGA movement. 

     

    This bill is it. There won't be another bipartisan agreement. 60 votes on something else isn't happening. You either actually think the border needs to be addressed or you just want to use the border to elect Donalt Trump.

    Clearly, either way, it is a lot BUT if it gets us what we want (well, most of us) which is the end of those commies as we know it, it will be well worth it.

     

    The issue/problem will be what do do with russia if/when they lose?  Do we reopen the Displaced Persons Act of 1948 (It think) and open our doors to them so that they can come to this country with ease?

     

    Does the rest of europe do that?  Do we help them establish a normal government?

    If I remember correctly the CIA had a hand in making Airplane.  Shirley I am serious. 

    The CIA knew what they were doing to the fishing industry by making people afraid to eat fish for fear of getting sick.  It was a direct assault on the hardworking blue collar fishermen that vote for the GOP!!!

    None of my circle is excited and most said they weren't backing him, until he basically became the nominee a couple weeks ago

    Will the vote for him now that he's pretty much the nominee?  I just don't see him losing many votes.  If people were dedicated enough to vote for him 4 years ago, there is nothing keeping them from doing it again.

    Really?

     

    Man, in 16 I remember HS students talking about it and being into it and even getting mad at each other about the race.  Right now, nothing.  

     

     

    I saw two Trump shirts yesterday.  In middle school.

     

    But I’m talking more about the adults in my orbit.  In 2016, they didn’t like him, but would be better than Hillary.  In 2020, it was kind of the same.  Now they are full fledged supporters and think we NEED him to turn things around.

    The thing is MOST people think "sexual assault" is a stranger jumping out from a bush while you walk home and they beat you up and rape you but that is not even close, not at all.  

     

    Most of it is confusing and impaired and subtle (that is probably not the right word) but it is not loud and not violent and not "forced" and often times met with little or no resistance because of fear or panic. 

    So did Howard Hesseman!

    Dammit.  My wife never panics!  This explains a lot!!!!

    Nebraska is going to figure out how to f#&% this up...I just know it.

     

     

    What would make you think such a thing?  When people like Erdman are saying rational things like “God created standard time”, what could they screw up?

     

    :rollin

    How can we make this happen more often?

     

    FYI…..The reporting of this to officials and them taking appropriate action….not the collection of this type of crap. 
     

     

    I think it happens quite a bit.  I’d say at least once a year my middle school gets a tip that law enforcement looks into.  Thankfully none have been found to be serious threats.

    Yes and no.

     

    Who have the Democrats put out as an option for us other than Biden?  It's pretty difficult for voters to support a different candidate when the party doesn't produce other serious candidates.

    This cycle, Joe is an incumbent.  No other candidates were likely. 

     

    But in 2020, we had Sanders, Warren, Buttegieg, and Bloomberg to go against Biden.  I think there were a few others that dropped out very early.

    Yes, it wasn't YUGE.   But that was a sucky election year - what terrible options. 

     

    This year is shaping up to be even suckier.  Two old farts - the same old farts as last time.   The parties are failing the voters. 

    The voters are failing.  Donald Trump is the who the Republican party is.  Joe Biden is who the Democrats are.  The government is whoever we put there.  Until voters realize we are doing this to ourselves, nothing is going to change.

    Here's the article if anyone wants to read it and understand why these tweets are missing the point: https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/drop-climate-related-disaster-deaths-not-evidence-against-climate-emergency-2023-09-19/

    “See! Technology helps fight against climate change. Therefore, we should fight against improvements in technology to continue to fight a changing climate!”

     

    -silly people

    The only thing I can think...I would GUESS that a lot of military guys are also gun guys and Trump likes guns?

     

     

    I would be surprised if Trump ever fired a gun in his life.

     

    Trump likes easy targets.

    People have been and keep fighting for wage increases and now some of you are like "Oh...well if THOSE people are not here to work THOSE jobs...what is going to happen?"

     

    What is going to happen?  Those f#&%ing jobs are going to have to pay more money to get people to work those jobs and the cost of all that stuff is going to skyrocket...just like everything has.  

     

    You can't pretend to care about one and not care about the other.  Unless you just really don't care at all.

    I’m going with the “maybe”
