Trump also signed an executive order going after social media companies after he got fact checked by Twitter. Neither side is winning a free speech award here, and he was clearly vindictive.

Oh watching the Republican D-bag videos and stealing his tag line?

Hmm, suspending the constitution or trying to stop disinformation. What about Trump wanting to jail members of the press? Can you ever just criticize and say Trump is wrong. You just walk lock step with everything or mostly everything he does.

Poor choice of words, yes. But it is obvious he is referring to use of executive action to

1. Close the border.
2. Boost the American energy sector.

Let’s just excuse him for everything he said. What about when he said the Constitution should be suspended? How many times do you have to excuse his words? Second of all, boost the American energy sector? lol government does not drill. Private companies do. Second, under Biden, the country has produced more oil in the past two years than ever was done under Trump.

You then Ignore all my other factors of why his called a dictator.

I don't think falsifying business records is disqualifying. I think there should be a legal consequence though, just like getting a DUI.

I don't care who you choose to vote for, but either way you're going to hold your nose and vote for the person who likely did things that would have "disqualified" them if they ran on the opposite ticket - like republicans who really cared about Hillary's mishandling of classified documents but giving Trump a pass.

Go with whoever you feel will better for the country, but neither side is really going to win the moral high ground arguments.

Did you vote for Bush/Cheney?
3 DUI's between those two.

It's not disqualifying. People make mistakes. The question is if they learned from them or not.

If people break the law, they should be held accountable. That goes for a DUI or falsifying business records.

Wasn’t old enough to vote for Bush and glad I don’t have that on my conscience.

Not implying that’s where you stand, but plenty of people (including some on this board) do.

You are a Trumper who does not see anything that Trump does wrong. Trump’s deal with the Taliban was awful on many levels that I have stated here before. Biden was wrong for following through. The disaster was that Biden did not anticipate the Afghan army to be so inept to allow the Taliban to march through the country so fast. I blame both Presidents. 13 deaths due to a terrorist attack of ISIS that day is due to everyone involved. including Trump and Biden.

You and others use the term "you are a Trumper" to somehow invalidate opinion. TDS is one that is used against you, also used to invalidate opinion. I hate both of them.

The fact that Trump's plan was flawed does NOT excuse Joe as you assert. JOE OWNS 100% of it and has never been held accountable. He used every tool at his disposal to negate EVERYTHING that Trump stood for... and to think he all of a sudden was bound by the Trump Afghan agreement is laughable. The resultant cover up made it even worse. John Kirby, Milley and Austin all forfeited any credibility they may have had by first taking part in it and then calling it a success.

Flashbacks of helicopters being tossed overboard as US ships picked up fleeing Vietnamese in 1975 came to mind. THAT was a debacle and our leaving the way we did was directly responsible for that debacle almost 50 years ago. This was even worse since US servicemen and women died and were horribly injured as a direct result of the decisions by their leadership at the time. It was chaos. Not only their deaths, but the deaths of hundreds, thousands of Afghan allies resulted form it. JOE BIDEN and the last person who was in the room with him when he made the decisions are at fault....... and THAT needs to be acknowledged.

It was 30 years ago. His campaign when he was running for congress did lie about in 20 years ago, but this was already out when he ran for governor 6 years ago.

If he had had a pattern of behavior that suggested he was still driving while intoxicated, that would be an issue but it was 30 years ago... It's just not that significant of an issue at this point.

It’s a reflection of character, regardless of when it happened. There is never an excuse to drink and drive, let alone drink and drive recklessly. Only selfish and reckless POS get behind the wheel when they are hammered, putting the lives of others in danger.

Nobody has ever died as the result of a “falsified business record” People are killed everyday by drunk drivers. Disqualifying for any candidate for executive office.

Conversely if the Republican VP candidate had been convicted of drunk driving we’d be hearing about it non stop from the mainstream media. Yet barely a word about it when it’s a Dem.

Maybe Trump is called a dictator by his words and actions. Namely, he said, he wants to be dictator for a day. Perhaps it’s his actions and inactions during an insurrection. Perhaps his glorification of dictators around the world is a reason. It is not said out of thin air.

NCAA considering changes to redshirt eligibility, National Letter of Intent as part of sweeping review

NCAA considering changes to redshirt eligibility, National Letter of Intent as part of sweeping review

Major changes to longstanding NCAA protocols surrounding eligibility and amateurism are proposed

Major changes to longstanding NCAA protocols surrounding eligibility and amateurism are proposed​

By David Cobb

A modified version of the NCAA rule allowing football players to compete in up to four regular-season games during their redshirt year could be coming to other sports. The concept is part of several potential changes to NCAA eligibility rules that may be implemented as part of the historic House vs. NCAA settlement, according to documents obtained by Yahoo Sports.

It's become commonplace in college football for players to appear in four games — or 33% of a team's regular-season contests — during their freshman season and then be considered redshirt freshmen the following season. If the 33% mark were applied to basketball, that would allow players to participate in roughly 10 games without losing a season of eligibility.

If the NCAA chooses to adopt the principle for other sports, sport-specific groups would set the exact threshold of game participation, according to Yahoo. In theory, however, it would afford basketball coaches the chance to give freshmen in-game reps during nonconference action in November or in blowouts without blowing an entire season worth of eligibility for the player.

The potential change is among several alterations to eligibility standards that could be coming in the wake of the House settlement. Among the other proposals addressed in the documents would be a measure allowing athletes to retain their eligibility even if they were paid for competing outside of college sports before enrolling.

An elimination of the National Letter of Intent is also being proposed with a new model that brings a player's recruitment to an end, according to multiple reports. Under that new proposed model, the "core benefits" of the NLI will be instead incorporated into financial aid and scholarship agreements.

The NCAA Division I Council is set to review the documents during a call this week.

I don’t understand why it’s so hard for you to comprehend that you shouldn’t call your political opponents dictators. Ditto for Trump’s rhetoric about Harris. With the amount of mentally unstable people in this country politicians shouldn’t be giving anyone fuel.

Can’t say that I always agree with shupat but his point here is well-taken. Can Gus please play in a college basketball game first before we use his name in the same sentence as Jokic?

I totally understand what Dan is saying (it’s supposed to give you an idea of what to expect playing style-wise) but I really think that’s not the way an average fan takes it.

Is it more helpful than harmful? I don’t know but I probably wouldn’t have put that out there like that.
Click to expand...
IMO, I think WE have to be a little more discriminating. Did anyone here actually think that the asst was implying that Gus today is as good (or even close) as the NBA MVP? If someone really thought that, cant help them. Or was he saying, as far as style of play, he is like Jokic? Jeez.

Endless talk from the MSNBC crew on this board about Trump’s alleged paperwork crimes yet nothing about Tim Walz driving 95mph in a 55mph zone with a .128 BAC and then lying about it for decades. Can’t say I’m surprised though.
