Triggered name calling of who, exactly? At the time I had no idea who I was responding to. Thanks for the explanation, I guess. If you don't see how your party and their decisions have radicalized people like this weirdo, well, I can't help you.

I think they’re absolutely related in that these kind of terrible rulings, not recusing from blatant conflict of interest cases (since his wife is an election denier), etc. will continue until there’s accountability for SCOTUS. The dog and pony show that is the confirmation hearings doesn’t count. From that point on, zero accountability. Some would argue that’s by design, but how long will people be OK with that if rulings continue to stray further from mainstream opininon?

How long until Republicans are convinced electing Dr. Phil (R - OK) is a good idea because “America needs to GET REAL?”

Clarence Thomas (and by extension, his insane wife) doing what they are doing is exhibit A in the case for SCOTUS term limits.

Man politics as a whole are mind-numbingly dumb, but anyone not willing to admit the GOP just doing more and more damage to normal society doesn’t have two brain cells to slap together to recognize their a$$ from a hole in the ground.

Or I've just got no patience for ridiculous gotcha questions?

Because you asked about a fairly ridiculous hypothetical and now you're asking about something entirely different.

It means I like people to make their own medical decisions instead of the government making them for them.

Nailed it. I had a coworker today politely inform me that supporting late-term abortions is tantamount to murder because I support Prop 3 here. I merely said I like people to make their own medical decisions instead of the government making them for them. A couple of churches in our town have big old No on Prop 3 signs up. IMHO they need to sTFU or start paying their damn taxes like the rest of us.

Strong logic. "Repubicans won't lie to you. Generic R is obviously better than generic D because ????. So vote Republican!"

You act like these people have the capacity for logic.

#1 is absurd on its face because you’re pretending the default position of your party, one used to keep complete morons and conspiracy nuts alike in the tent, is that the 2020 election was a farce and Trump actually won. Sample above of you wish to open your eyes. What could possibly go wrong with loosening election laws and rules at the behest of the people described above? Is it that hard to admit he’s just a smug a$$h@!e you like because he’s on your team? That would be a lot more intellectually honest. Unironically probably the nicest thing you’ve said about a Democrat on this board.

Fun fact: a church in my home town has an anti-abortion sign about voting against a proposition out front when I was driving by the other day. If they want to play politics, fine. But then they need to pay taxes just like the rest of us.

Dude we agree. Mickey gets most of the credit. I was just trying to point out that as incompetent as Frost was he didn't f#&% this one up.

Yeah. It was crap then and it's crap now. Oz is a garbage candidate for reasons that have nothing to do with his health.

Recruiting Malachi did not start with Mickey.

He clearly meant to say right to work. The dude has aphasia from a recent stroke. He's admitted as much. Ablism is exactly the kind of garbage I expect from the RNC. They pulled the same crap in 2020 with a dude who's dealt with stuttering his entire life and claimed he had dementia. The Republican Party has fallen a hell of a long way. I hope the current iteration burns down to the foundation and starts over as something that's actually a net benefit to the country. If I lived in PA, I'd vote for a Fetterman who struggles to find words every once in a while over a carpetbagger snake oil salesman Trump kissass 11 times out of 10.

Best of both worlds? They managed not to f#&% it up while here and a new coach should be able to land him?

I'd have been a LOT more concerned if Riley was still the coach in Norman. Their offense looks much less formidable under Venables. Thank goodness Frost and Co. put in the work early with Coleman to get us in the position we're in. One things I'll wholeheartedly give them credit for actually doing right. We could've easily bungled this one, too.

Our offensive line continues to play like dogs#!t. We have maybe one guy who should be starting on a Big Ten OL out there right now. All credit to the guys out their playing to the best of their ability but they're just not talented enough. Frost and Austin can get bent. Raiola was not a good hire. We could not afford a developmental coach for the most important position on the offense. Newsome is a gamer for going out there and gutting it out while not 100%. He's badly needed. Hartzog is really coming along for a true frosh. Brown had some good moments last night. But overall our depth and talent along the secondary needs to improve. We cannot sustain more injuries at LB. Our front seven plays the run well at times and very poorly at others. We need more dogs up front because we still can't get consistent pressure on QBs, whether we're blitzing or not. Injuries to our LB corps don't help. I have no idea how old some of our players are. Tannor is a SR, Reimer a JR and Gifford/Heinrich are SO. Huh. I thought Tannor was younger and the other guys older. Nice that we won't lose too much. I wouldn't count on Heinrich for Illinois - he was clutching the knee and came back on crutches. No knee injury affecting weightbearing is going to be a ~two week recovery time frame (I'm a PT). Palmer's got to get a player of the week award. ~300 yards of offense is insane. His talent is unreal - he's probably gone to the NFL. Illinois is the real deal. We better go to work and get ready for a typicaly Bielema or Iowa-style game. They're going to try to run it down our throats and use that to set everything else up. Completely different gameplan than vs. Purdue. Glad Busch showed a willingness to focus on stopping the run first last night - we're going to need to next, too.

And your offensive line is hot garbage. @ColoradoHusk nailed it. Either QB would've struggled because the lifeblood of our offense is very, very bad. Grant is an fantastic RB, but we only know that because he's able to thrive behind this line and make up for a lot of their sins. Nebraska should not be a place OL coaches need to grow into the position.

Does Herschel Walker understand the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes? Serious question. He got a lot of softball questions lobbed at him last night with very little follow-up. Warnock got asked about his stance on a professional baseball team. Our country is f#&%ed.

Worse. Unserious morons and people who will knowingly lie to your face to get into power. I mean, politicians have never been truthful. But the Trumpists accelerated this by abandoning any semblance of shame. They realize they're preaching to morons so they can lie about whatever they want, big or small, if it benefits them. I'm not sure if the dumbing down, the abandoning of shame or the rank dishonesty part is most troubling. Certainly putting them all together does not portend anything good.
