  1. I'll say what I said originally - when this accusation came out I was shocked and appalled. I thought oh this is bad and obviously not good for him. I had expected there had been some encounter between them that something happend. Then I kept getting more and more info but the biggest thing to me was Kavanaugh saying unequivocally that this did not happen and he had never been anywhere with her period. I also had a hard time believing he would actually have covered her mouth and tried to forcibly remove her clothes. If someone does that, and gets away with it, they very likely would have done so again. And then the fact that she cannot corroborate that she was ever at some party with Kavanaugh at all makes me believe she is mistaken. The fact this is from 36 years ago makes it very possible she is mistaken. Also, if she is going to make this claim and say she told her Psychologist about it, then she has to release the details of that. The other 2 claims against him don't even register for me, they don't offer any evidence period.
  2. my biggest disappointment with Bohl has to be the recruiting. Especially on the offensive side, the receivers, running backs and linemen he's recruited are basically average FCS caliber. No real playmakers at all on this team. His best receiver is probably Conway who only is on the team due to the basketball coach. Vander Waal is a capable QB but you can't put the team on the back of a freshmen QB without an offensive line or running game. Evans did have a couple good runs but overall the running game has been abysmal. Vigen has been lousy at OC, but he also cannot really call many quality plays because of all the breakdowns. I don't think Wyoming would be able to get a much better coach than Bohl, but Bohl is basically looking like Joe Glenn 2.0. Although Wyoming has actually had several outstanding college football coaches in the past, I just don't see a guy like that on the horizon again.
  3. wow, TWO Josh Allen threads this week by Warbow! I didn't know he was captain of the Hawaii Josh Allen fan club.
  4. Way more millionaires in China than in Mexico. And kind of like India where there is a huge population about the size of France this is doing very well and most the rest dirt poor.
  5. I don't know man, what kinds of things do 1.3 Billion people need!
  6. Trump does talk about as trade imbalance. But one of the reasons for the imbalance is these countries artificially limiting imports. Which they are. You can laugh at tariffs but the Chinese markets are down over 30%, foreign investment in China is also down. It is costing China quite a bit.
  7. The issue at hand is to get these countries to OPEN THEIR MARKETS. Not to prevent them from selling into the US. To open their markets in a fair way. We know why we buy their stuff and for the most part we've made it easy for them to sell in US market. Try to keep up.
  8. The standard Trump critic - criticize yet offer no real solutions. I've said I do not like or wish tariffs, in Trump's case there are only certain things he can do. He can't force China to change their policies, but he can make it costly for them not to.
  9. I watched the actual video of his speech. Yes they did laugh some when he said that. But it was not quite what some of you are making it out to be. When Trump then said, "Didn't expect that reaction but that's OK," And he was laughing when he said that, and that did bring a big laugh, which was a much bigger louder laugh. So they were laughing at him initially, and with him.
  10. no, Trump wants fair trade. Dems want to call this isolationism.
  11. um, trying to pretend Trump has no clue about any of this, so somehow Obama, and others, Hillary? Bush? had it figured out. Lets look at Trade. NAFTA - this is an old deal that definitely needed a significant upgrade. This gave Mexico and Canada several advantages, now its not terrible to allow these countries some flexibility any deal should have US interests at heart over them. Its a good thing Trump got Mexico on board first and still waiting to get Canada, or else some on here would simply say its because Trump is racist towards Mexico. And again, China. US trade imbalance to China has become enormous, and China is actively stealing IP, restricting imports with tariffs and licensing, as well as forcing companies to do joint ventures. China has been working to mature their market, bringing in millions each year to their middle class. Good for them, but cannot be at our expense. They are not a 3rd world country anymore. Tariffs are not at all an ideal thing to implement, but with Trade the US only has certain options. Can restrict imports - thats not good either. Can fine China, thats way to difficult, can do talks - been talking for 18 months now. Or do tariffs and let them know more tariffs are on the way. Lets China know that if they don't change their trade policies its going to cost them. Yes it costs the US consumer but right now this is costing China much more than the US and companies will start looking elsewhere than China.
  12. Are you trying to tell us that Obama somehow understood all these things so well??? Trump understands well enough what makes the world go around is money and might. Not talk and pretend. The US being ripped off mercilessly by China for decades has not helped anyone but China. Trump coming out strongly against, and then working with N.Korea has been a stroke of genius thus far. And I'll say it again, the world loved Obama just like most people in a bar love the guy who's buying the drinks.
  13. You really want that to be the case don't you? The US Economy is stronger than most the world, our military is way stronger than rest of the world and we've added quite a bit for this year and next. The US was not stronger during the Iraq war, the US was not stronger with an anemic economy under Obama. Russia took over a part of the Ukraine, China gained significant power and N.Korea was developing nukes and long range missiles under Obama. The US is becoming much stronger with Trump and for some reason democrats just freaking hate it.
  14. The UN has been laughing at the US for most the previous 10 years. But their not laughing as much anymore since the US is not going to allow them all to take advantage of us as they have in the past. You guys can pretend Trump is dumb or stupid if you want, but the RESULTS are quite a bit better than what Obama or Bush were doing. Just like the guy in the bar buying everyone drinks, you have a lot of friends as long as your buying!
  15. For Wyoming - The good-- Won the games they were supposed to win (hey a win is a win, right SDSU?) The bad-- Lost the games weren't supposed to win The ugly-- Offense still searching for any playmakers, on Defense the jury is still deliberating
  16. This is the NFL, not college. You don't keep passing much the ball when your up 27-0. You manage the game and run the clock. Bills played exactly how they should have.
  17. I've been watching the NFL for a long time and I've learned to not judge a rookie QB by their first year. John Elway had a very rough first year. Brett Favre only played in 1 game his rookie year. Buffalo is a lousy team, lousy offensive line and lousy defense, and I doubt any of their receivers would be starting on another team. But they have some young guys that they could be much improved next year if they can fix the O line.
  18. Its a good thing there wasn't any threads about Carr the last couple years huh!
  19. Allen had a good rookie start on a very poor team. He missed some throws and got sacked 5 times. But also moved the ball and got a TD pass as well. I was quite happy with his performance overall.
  20. If this guy had no criminal record, what would have prevented him doing this? Eliminating all handguns? So truly only criminals and police have handguns. I think there are some things that can be done regarding assault style weapons, better background checks etc.
  21. Are you really that dense??? Um your right in the fact that foreign leaders liked Obama a heck of a lot more than Trump! No doubt about it. I certainly like hanging around someone who end's up buying the drinks as well! China's stock markets are already down over 18% this year. They've lost $100's of billions.
  22. Trump gave her a job primarily because she was a black woman that had some name recognition. And she had a pretty cush job imo yet she still managed to screw that up. Trump however is being a heck of a lot smarter regarding foreign policy than Bush or Obama ever were. Bush overreacted to 9/11 and did the Iraq war. Obama was liked by most foreign officials because they were getting whatever the hell they wanted! You guys can call Trump every name in the book but his policies are beating the hell out of anything Obama did. I think the reason you hate Trump so much is everyday he proves what a useless empty suit Obama was.
  23. Omarosa is simply looking to get paid from the anti-Trump media, just like they paid Stormy Daniels. Had she written a book that reflected positively on Trump, we likely wouldn't have heard about it at all. She has already contradicted several things in the book and some of the things are exact opposite of what she's said in the past. She's proven herself to be completely untrustworthy. From what I've seen they have people sign explicit nda's when they go to work for the gov't and she probably should be charged with taping those conversations and then releasing them.
  24. Get a Weber Genesis and you'll have it for 20 years. I bought mine 8 years ago and still works as good as new. I give it a thorough cleaning about twice a year. I've had $300 gas grills that I got rid of within 2 years. The only other thing is if you like to smoke a lot, try a Traeger Pro grill. Can grill and do smoking on. I may end up getting one of these myself just for smoking. I have a Weber charcoal smoker as well but takes to much time to keep the temp up.
