I get that. My point was that I doubt he magically stopped betting on Iowa State sporting events, with significantly increased access to other athletes at the school. That seems…very unlikely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t know that that absolves him. He’s still the one doing it. The best thing the NCAA could do is suspend him and reinstate him on completion of some sort of rehabilitative program. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Uninformed guess: Someone who is potentially addicted to gambling didn’t stop, cold turkey, after creating accounts under another person’s name, just because school was in session. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He’s arguing that knowingly engaging in a criminal conspiracy is protected free speech? If John Doe engages in a criminal conspiracy to kill his wife, that’s not protected free speech. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How many NG do you think were on active orders in DC that day, exactly? A rough estimate will do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just because they were idiots doesn’t mean they didn’t try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pence just revealed that Trump/lawyers asked him to just reject votes from the states with no legal basis for doing so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That sounds pretty bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Biden and Pence cooperated with the request from the FBI. Trump did not. He then moved (multiple times) and destroyed evidence. Pence and Biden did not do that. While I disagree with VPOTUS Pence on many things, he acted in the best interest of the United States, which also turned out to be his best interest. Generally speaking, unless you show clear intent to do illegal things, AKA not simple negligence on the part of a staffer, you won't be charged with national security crimes. People make mistakes and move on. When you do it repeatedly, brag about it, and then refuse to comply with requests to mitigate the problem, then destroy evidence, that's when people get charged with crimes.

When the Democrats want the transcript released, you have a nothing-burger: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s like you live on Twitter, latch onto a headline, but can’t be bothered to read anything of substance beyond that. For someone who calls himself “the brain”, you seem incapable of thinking about sources, doing even the bare minimum of fact checking or verification of anything at all. Well, you verify whether or not the falsehood suits your particular worldview, I suppose. You’re routinely called out for spouting false or debunked information on your own platform and yet you are incapable of learning a lesson. Here’s a helpful hint: the Trump-appointed ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovich, testified that Shokin was dirty. So did another Trump appointee. And, the investigation had concluded before Biden recommended he be fired. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/10/trump-revives-false-narrative-on-biden-and-ukraine/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure what happened there. I tried to say something along the lines of: I didn’t quote any blogs or cite any sources. A person that I quoted above? Yes. I asked people to cite federal law relating to requirements for local PD to be US citizens. No one has done that yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn’t cite any blogs. That was the person I quoted. I asked to be provided a federal statute. No one has provided one yet.

Buddy, you realize that there’s a difference between federal law enforcement and state law enforcement, right? That only covers federal agencies, such as the FBI, DEA, DHS, etc. The FBI is not your local PD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Please cite any US law that states that. I’ll wait. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You might want to reread what you just wrote. What is 32.6 divided by 33.6? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If someone is willing to kick a fellow American’s ass over a flag burning, but not willing to listen to their reasons for it, they may be part of the problem. America has never been and never will be perfect but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to improve everything for everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t, no. But if someone else did, it wouldn’t offend me in the slightest. If anything, it should result in people tuning in to what those people have to say. Based on the fact that people think it’s OK to try to kick the person’s ass, or worse, they obviously believe pretty strongly that America is off course, and are willing to bear that burden despite the risks. Plenty of Vietnam veterans who served honorably burned flags after they were discharged and they had very legitimate points to make. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, I don't, because I actually believe in what that flag stands for and if someone has a grievance with America so strong that they feel compelled to do such a thing, maybe they have something worth talking about, and maybe I should listen. Dissent is patriotic. Or they'll take "justice" into their own hands, again? Nothing more patriotic, anti-woke and perfectly just than subverting the constitution and rights of an individual by beating him to death with a hammer then hanging his body from a courthouse. /s

Huh? Are we pretending that this was not among the list of grievous offenses outlined in his song's lyrics? See the bolded, underlined and italicized bit: Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk Carjack an old lady at a red light Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like Cuss out a cop, spit in his face Stomp on the flag and light it up Yeah, ya think you're tough Well, try that in a small town See how far ya make it down the road Around here, we take care of our own You cross that line, it won't take long For you to find out, I recommend you don't Try that in a small town

College credits while in the military shouldn’t count against their years of eligibility. General military deferment of eligibility covers that. Taking college courses is part of their job in the military. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Friend of mine was paid to go to school by the Air Force, full time, taking 15+ hrs/semester in grad school. However, that was his duty location; he had no regular military responsibilities other than being in shape for and taking a PT test once a year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let’s start with stomping on or burning a flag. Apparently that’s worth a posse running me down (with Grandpa’s gun, per Aldean) in Small Town, USA, despite it being legal. How is that going to work out for the posse, if I decide to defend myself? Also, the congressional districts where lynchings happened in great numbers are deep red, currently.
