CU is alright. They are the only school that left, that just went and did not point fingers and make stupid excuses for why they left. They handled it the right way. The other 3 schools, not so much.

I want to be optimistic, but things can always get worse, and when it comes to our FB program we, almost without fail, make the wrong choices. As a KU FB fan it is best just to expect complete failure, and be pleasantly surprised if that doesn't happen. I honestly think until we renovate our stadium, it will be hard to be even mediocre again. It is a big, festering symbol of the decades of neglect that the program has received. It is hard to fund raise for a renovation, when the program is this putrid, so it is all just becomes a Groundhog Day of failure.

That man saw some shit in the Georgia woods back in the early 70s. Then in early November of last year he saw a repeat, only this time he had to listen his friend squeal like a pig for over 2 months. That will fuck a dude up.

Okay this is the clearest explanation I could find on what will happen: TLDR: If convicted by 2/3 of the Senate, he is automatically barred from future office by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. He has to be convicted to be barred from office, whether automatically in cases related to Section 3, or by majority vote, in other cases, during the punishment vote following conviction.

This was always my understanding the first vote is for conviction. After that they have a vote on punishment. The punishments can be removal from office, being barred from future office, or both and is simple majority. But it is a little confusing since removal is out. Seen so many conflicting comments on what will happen.

He deserves it; however, are there enough R senators with spines to vote for conviction? I doubt it. I have zero faith in Republicans doing the right and hard thing after the last 4 years. The threat of the party being splintered is just the excuse many would probably like for not convicting in the name of party unity. Trump can't be trusted and he will turn around and still create the Patriot party, regardless of whether he is convicted or not, just for the grift opportunities for himself and his family. It will just be an added bonus of revenge if they convict him. I hope you are right though. Nothing I would like better than seeing the MAGA tears if he is convicted and barred from future office. Fuck Trump.

Trump playing hardball. He's not getting convicted.

I'll believe he votes for impeachment when I see it; but, Mitch probably doesn't plan to run again. Dude will be 84 when his term ends in 2026. I really doubt he gives a shit Tomi. Besides what money is the RNC going to have if the the business world shuts off the money pipeline until the Q/Trumpanzees are purged?

Sorry for your loss. You don't need to deal with your emotions on your own. Please seek support if you need it. Don't feel you have to do it alone.

Good for him. I'd decline too or I'd send mine back, if I had ever received one, after Rush Limbaugh and Devin Nunes received one. Talk about devaluing it. It means nothing now. It's just candy for sycophants.

The GOP only wants Biden to call off the dogs because they know Trump and his cronies are so stupid and inept that they will have left an evidence trail of their being involved in what went down that will implicate a lot of GOP peeps. They could care less about the country healing or they would never have been involved in standing by, or worse, actually encouraging the division that has been happening the last few years under Trump, especially the post-election bullshit. They are worried about their their seats being in danger in the future, or of being indicted for sedition for that shit show many were involved in encouraging and planning on the 6th. Fuck all those hypocrites. If Democrats and Biden don't shove the elephant cock of justice down their throats then fuck them too.

Still amazed the State of Kansas has not represented yet in the moron parade of self-incrimination. I thought EMAWesome had this.

Selling fear works better than selling hope. That is why Christians invented hell, and boy was it a great recruiting tool. Fear of hell was better at getting people to join and follow than the hope of heaven. As an atheist, when Christians question why I don't believe in God, they almost never ask, "Don't you want to go to heaven?" Instead they ask, "Aren't you afraid of burning in hell forever?" Fear > hope to most people, sadly. It's why the GOP's messaging as been more successful than the Democrat's messaging for decades. They sell fear. Fear of immigrants, socialism, non-Christians, non-Whites, etc. and it works with a lot of people. Basically I heard this many times before the election from family when I asked why they were voting for Trump: "I do not like Trump, but if that son of a bitch, Joe Biden, is elected communism and open borders will follow. Plus, he will kill all the unborn babies, even after they are born. And if his old ass dies, that evil black woman Kamala Harris will take over. She will take our guns!" I never once heard something positive that Trump would do if elected, only the negative things they feared the Democrats would do.

Capitol police about to have the FBI go through all their social media with a fine toothed comb. Enjoy assholes.

It is going to be so easy for the FBI to get these "patriots" to rat on their friends too. Unlike real patriots, most are not willing to suffer any real pain for their beliefs, despite all their Facebook bravado. They don't want to do without their boxes of wine, Xboxes, guns, and Facebook for even a week. Threat of any jail time will get them to give up their grandmothers to get off easier.

When Trump was elected I was not happy, but I gave him a chance because I hope any president is an effective leader for our country. However, I also assumed that the Republicans had a spine and would check him if he went full regarded. I was very wrong. Now it is pretty obvious McConnell and Pence probably threatened him with the 25th and/or impeachment and look how quickly he backed down. He looks like a whipped dog in that video. If the Republicans had grown a spine earlier in his term America would be a lot better off and they might have kept control of both houses of congress and Doofus-in-Chief Trump might have gotten re-elected. Instead yesterday marked the end of America as the pre-eminent political power in the world.

McConnell's speech...after finding out he lost his majority thanks to GA...

I hope so. Ossoff gives zero fucks and I can't wait to see him in the senate going after Mitch and company.

Sweet, eight pound baby Jesus. I hope you are right. If he is dumb enough to not get a pardon on the way out the door or he tries to self pardon, he is more stupid than I think he is, and I think he is very stupid.

Things are about to get really crazy. Just hope he doesn't start a war on the way out the door. I predict 200+ pages by the end of the month. Hope I am wrong.

It's hard to be sad when you have your strong right (or left) hand.
